An alt rock's alt rock album.
Pretty much every song sounds like it could be in the NHL 2k13 soundtrack.
Sure.
Learned that these guys have a bunch of children's albums so I'm sure I'll be back to listen to them in a couple years.
Another lower 3. Not off to a great start here.
Best album thus far. Sounded like U2 in the back half.
Finally some good fucking food.
Not the most exciting, but I can definitely get down with this. At first I was thinking I just liked it a lot compared to the lackluster albums we have had so far, but it turns out this is just a really solid album to jam to. Perfect for a work day tbh.
I feel like the sound quality must be an artistic choice to mimic the quality of an early 2000's TV. Definitely felt like Weather Channel music.
The artistic idea of "what if instead of one of the most impactful days in a country's history was just a normal day instead" really doesn't lead to much thought provocation. It's like if someone made a cop movie where no crimes were committed that day and the characters all went home safely.
This album honestly had me for a little bit until the commercials started. Was too long as well. It also seems like The Weather Channel 1-11 aren't even Cat System Corps work, it was just ripped from a VHS.
As far as jazz goes, this was perfectly cromulent.
Whoever added this to the list probably has a huge hog and a huger heart.
My EnV3 could record in higher quality than this album.
It's a shame because I didn't hate the music.
I didn't really love this, but I certainly didn't hate it. It strangely had me tuned in even though it just felt aimless.
Little long, I was over it after about 40 minutes.
Nothing crazy good about it. Another album that could make it as a sports or racing game soundtrack. Little more emo than I care for, but no real qualms.
Definitely a cool add to this list. I like that it had just enough of the dialogue from the movie to remind me of what was going on during the plot.
Really well done score that blends electronic with that noir sound.
High 4. Can't quite give it a 5, but maybe I'll rewatch the movie soon.
I knew I have heard Midlife Crisis which made me go down the rabbit hole that is the GTA: San Andrea Radio Stations wiki page. Man I missed a lot of good music because I only listened to Radio X when I was 9 years old.
Anyway... This album was fine.
Very Arcade Fire-esque with the choir and the general etherealness. I mean that in a good way.
Midnight City (top 100 song) and Reunion are certified bangers.
Not really my cuppa tea. It is on the milder side of grunge so it wasn't terrible, but nothing really stuck out to me.
Pretty solid indie rock. Enjoyed it at times, but was forgettable at other times. Approached 3.5 territory, but it kinda all blended together and didn't have anything unique enough about it to bump it to 4.
I feel like a change in vocalist or maybe even just the mixing of the vocals could really elevate this album. The band does a great job. The vocals feel disconnected in a way.
Unrelated but this gives me some Bruce Springsteen and moe. vibes.
Good, not great.
This is an odd one because I certainly went through an EDM phase so Avicii was right there the whole time. While his hits are all-timers, I haven't done a dive into his albums.
It's odd that none of the artists are featured on the song titles (at least on YouTube Music) even though it sounds like there is a variety of artists on this album.
There are a number of songs that sound like pop country, and the rest just have The Avicii Sound.
Overall I came in with high expectations and left feeling a bit underwhelmed.
Nothing wrong with someone masterfully strumming the guitar for 37 minutes.
3.5 with a Friday bump.
Another pretty solid album, but nothing remarkable. About halfway through I thought we were taking a turn down Kollaps Avenue. Glad we didn't.
Pretty much as middle of the road metal as you could ask for. Higher side of 3.
Hit me with a couple of these songs while I'm buzzed around a campfire and you'll make me feel like I'm in a movie. 10am at work on a Wednesday does not give me the same feeling.
Still good, but I'm sure there is more potential here.
Matthew Alright Band.
This is a perfectly OK album that just lands as an intro to alt rock.
Not bad, but giving this a high 2 for blandness.
Hell yeah we have broken the mid-3 train with an absolute heater.
Starts off great, carries through the middle great, finishes great.
It might not stand with the best of the best, but its an absolute jam of a listen and blows the other submitted albums (so far) clean out of the water.
