DJ Shadow

This is such a cool idea. I'm glad Sarah included me in it.
Mellow. This kind of stuff is cool. It doesn't "speak to me" but it's pleasant to listen to.
Untitled is my FAVORITE ! LMAO
"And they all got ass"
Also, mutual slump
--------------
Second listen started in the morning. First track hit me and I'm "primed to listen"
I like it.

I didn't realize that Immigrant song was the first track. I started listening from the playlist that Sarah made for this sharing experience. I thought I clicked on the first led zep song but I hit the second.
I really like Friends.
Sarah mentioned Tangerine. It was easy to listen to multiple times consecutively. It seems short. The intro instrumentals fade from memory once they're over. They aren't bad they just ...I donno get left in the past.
I started listening to DJ Shadow again after this.
Also, this is a pretty good listen. The guitars are almost intimidating though. Like, dayum!...

Started in the morning. I want to be more focused when I listen to this. I think it will be like Twister by Remy Zero. I'll have to work at it but once I understand the lyrics, I expect to like it very much.
Planning to listen to TBG tonight.
Couldn't get in the right mindset last night. This will be an ongoing listen. Added to downloads.
A few listens later, I really like tracks 2 and 3. It seems like something always interrupts me during Karma Police..

Bat Out Of Hell
Meat Loaf
I most associate Meat Loaf with Rocky Horror. Very easy album to get through due to the short play time, listened 3x. Juxtaposition of dive bar biker metal and love ballads. Paradise by the Dashboard Light had me dying, an anthem for couples in desperate need of therapy, true romance 😹. Easy listen.

With the exception of the two singles, I couldn't tell you a single thing about any individual song on this album. The songs blend. Nothing is here to "keep it separated" they're all the same high energy bounce that I should like but don't with the same backing vocals. Whoa, whoaOah, whoAo

Californication
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3-6-2024
I've always had a reluctance to listen to the Chili Peppers--probably because of the sock thing. Throughout the years, I have been presented with evidence that they're a talented group of musicians (especially Flea), heard bands I like compared with them, and found myself enjoying some before I knew who was performing. The amount of these tracks that I'm familiar with without deliberately seeking this content it has to say something about it's quality, doesn't it?

Violent Femmes
I haven't listened yet. Still working through the previous album. I'm not completely unfamiliar with three Femmes and I'm in general a HUGE fan of self titled albums. I'm excited to see if this fits among the ranks of The Doors, Bad Company, and Mt. Joy or if it's more of an Aerosmith with only the one memorable track.

I about done with yesterday's album by the Violent Femmes (self titled) and I'm glad to say it IS like the Doors, Bad Company, amd Mt. Joy. I like it a lot. Promise stood out (among others). My lens is slightly disrupted but I'm getting over it quickly.
I am interested to see which songs are in the Police album.
Most of the way through the album. Just been listening at work while doing other things.
I like the police, they have a chill sound with a dash of hop around!

I listened to the Coming Up album from 2003 because this one wasn't on my streaming service.
I've always liked the more Latin styles of music. The album I listened to put me in the mood of traveling with purpose through a beautiful yet unforgiving landscape...reminds me of a girl I know.

Welcome to the Afterfuture
Mike Ladd
For me, it really started picking up at 'Bladerunners'. Especially with that persistent bass line that sounds like it could be saying "Blade-Ru-Ners" if only it could shape the syllables.
Following that up with lyrics like "if I were pregnant, I'd eat ice cream and pickles [...] Praise the Soul for what you got" in 'No. 1 St.'
Then, the quiet song after??
Attention grabbing levels of variety on display here.

The Holy Bible
Manic Street Preachers
I like the instrumentation in this. Overall, it seemed a little heavy on the spoken word intros--it felt like every song had one. Unfortunately, those were some of the only words I understood. Might try to finish some day.
Rating system: 1 means I didn't finish and have no intention/desire to, 2 means I didn't finish but wouldn't mind listening more, 3 means I finished it but probably won't seek out more, 4 means I finished and I liked it, 5 means it is likely to be added to my regular listening and I may seek it more similar material

I wish I could copy paste my review from the album 2 days ago: "perfect for the morning commute" LmAoOo
Good vocals, creative stories, steller instrumentals. I would seek out more from this artist but not necessarily more murder ballads. A whole album of them seems a bit much..

I have no intention of listening to this. I got partway through the first track and it's like...yeah, no. I don't need to force myself to listen to something that I don't like.
I listened to a new Maggie Rogers song, then the earliest HAIM album available on Tidal. So that was my album today.

I sent a link for Lizard Lady to a friend with context. He said "I didn't like it. It hurt my ears."
I thought it was a very interesting listen. Definitely weird. Has a folk meets noise kind of vibe. I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars using the scale below:
1 ⭐means I didn't finish and have no intention/desire to.
2 ⭐⭐means I didn't finish but wouldn't mind listening more,
3 ⭐⭐⭐means I finished it but probably won't seek out more,
4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐means I finished and I liked it,

They aren't really my kind of music but it's self titled so I'm kinda obligated.
It was aight.. didn't convert me to fandom. Interesting how all the self titled albums seemed to be "good" have at least one major hit.

Dookie

I've heard this album many times. It is one of the first that I ever bought (digitally) when I got my smartphone in highschool.
I didn't know who played the songs that had been stuck in my head since my early elementary car rides to and from school with my mom. I heard When I Come Around and Basket Case on the radio with her way back then.
There were a few other songs spread around between artists and other Green Day albums but those two tracks are the ones that lead me to purchasing Dookie.
Some of my first steps out of total withdrawal from the world.

I'm not sure why I see a Walmart display towel when I look at the album art but this is another self titled album for the list of great ones. I didn't even know their "big hit" was on this one until I was a song or two way from it.
I wish other tracks would get radio time..I would have found this album sooner.
