Lust For Life
Iggy Pop
This album is like a mix of bluesy punkish tracks and those albums of dudes muttering barfy lyrics in fake British accents overtop of doot-doot type "riffs" but is pretty enjoyable with satisfying songwriting to back it up. Shame that David Bowie worked on it though he already has like 30 albums does he really need to leech off of other guys too?? And what is this bloke on about in Turn Blue?????

If you don't like the kind of music they play in the waiting room at the doctor's office, you won't like this album in the slightest. It's honestly shocking how much influence it seems this album has had on modern songwriting with its simplistic, incessantly repetitive melodies and signature self-indulgent singing style. (I guess I'm thinking 2010s sappy pop ballads.) The album is filled with enough richly ringing acoustic guitar and 80s production to make it a somewhat bearable listen for me personally, however, but you quickly want it to be over.
FUCK FAST CAR

Rumours
Fleetwood Mac
Very well paced album, but I don't find the music itself very compelling. It all feels a little bland and I don't care for any of the vocals. Or any of the tracks really. Besides The Chain. I do not understand how this album is considered one of the greatest of all time.

Aftermath
The Rolling Stones
Mostly forgettable bluesy nonsense with a dash of good songwriting thrown in. Greatly overshadowed by "Paint it Black" but apparently that song's not even in the real version?????

I should hate this pretentious-ass bullshit, but I can't help but find it all incredibly touching.

Lots of talent, but lots of the same soul groove trudging on for far too long.

The Only Ones
The Only Ones
Sounds like a drunk, British, new wave Violent Femmes. Which is a moronic thing to say BUT this means it's a pretty enjoyable listen just not the most memorable.

Feels a bit like background music at times but is compelling enough to warrant a second listen.

Lacks any real hooks or truly memorable moments, but has a distinctive style/flow.

Back In Black
AC/DC
My feelings about AC/DC are quite complicated (sorry, Dad). There is a definite energy and presence in the band but none of it can undo the sickening monotony of the songwriting. No matter how different or rhythmically intense the riffs get, it feels like the result is always just a mid-tempo rocker.

Gentlemen
The Afghan Whigs
Very impactful, emotional, etc. But drags on a bit and feels the same thing the whole time: either moody, slow, and loud or moody, slow, and quiet.

Ranges from funky, groovy to jazzy, obnoxious. Superstition is of course a classic though.
