Power In Numbers
Jurassic 5
I had never heard of this album before. I read up about it on Wikipedia and I was really excited about it. It sounded like something I would enjoy, and the members were very interesting people. Listening it, the beats are great, the vocals are smooth, and I love how the members all jive together. This was a really fun discovery, and I would definitely listen to it again.

Sounds like a spoken word album with a bit of music. Not really into it.

Elton John
Not too bad an album. But a bit prosaic. Nothing stands out, it sounds like Elton John. I get the feeling he's just churning out a bunch of pop hits and hoping something catches and becomes popular.

Good nostalgia. Good tunes. I like that the album has a story. But if still seems a bit manufactured to be punk.

Born To Be With You
Dion
Not bad at all. Enjoyed listening to it. Came out in the 70s and I like that era. Nothing sounds out but the album was pleasant to hear. Good tunes and great singing and melody.

1989
Taylor Swift
What is music? I heard it once described as audio decoration; as we decorate a wall with paintings and pictures and colours so we decorate the space around us with music. Music is also a very human endeavour. Mankind has made music and chanted since time immemorial. Poetic sagas and myths were passed along in rhytmic meter; where we now make a distinction between powerty and music it seems the ancients weren't quite so discriminatory. Indeed we remember things better to a beat and a rhythm; it remains a power mnemonic.
I wonder often how the commodoiffication and industrialization of music has changed it. How long were ancient songs?

The voice was interesting and soothing at times. Weird lyrics. Wasn't terribly too into it, though.

No question is a good album with great songs. 20 years later it seems more pop than rock to me but it's still a great album.

I wanted to like this. The band sounded interesting. If was just noise. Not even interesting noises. Some tracks sounded like good background music but did the most part it was awful

Sounded pretty cool. Very unique. I was just annoyed at first but he busted out some cool tunes. Very psychedelic 60s feel

I had no idea who this was. I lived listening to it. This was a great sounding album with that 1960's feel!
