Midnight Ride
Paul Revere & The Raiders
Obv 60s music. Hammond organ. Recording is actually pretty good and instruments are clear.

A classic record. Great recording. I’m not a big fan of Shine on You Crazy Diamond, but the other tracks are to my liking.

Didn’t like how it started, but definitely improved. Good sound and well orchestrated synthesizers.

Definitely older BeeGees. Not a disco album. Recording quite good. Too long. Did not finish both discs.

Excellent vocals. Phenomenal saxophone work. Great compositions and a great recording make this a very listenable album. Standouts are the title track and Holding back the Years.

Back In Black
AC/DC
One of the classic rock albums. The bells sound so good in Hell”s Bells. On to the back side and Back in Black and You Shook Me All Night Long. All songs for the ages and a great quality recording to boot. In particular, Back in Black sounds fresh even by today standards.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Iron Butterfly
What’s to say that hasn’t been said in the last 56 years about this album? It’s a period piece. All of it. Then thereis the magnum opus at just over 17 minutes. An eternity when compared to the average song today. It’s a dirge. A minor chord dirge, but it’s the dirge we have and somehow we love it. It’s like that old crispy uncle who repeats the same old stories over and over and over, but he still gets invited to all the family events. We tolerate him like we tolerate In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters
Fiona Apple
My initial impression was Morrisett in 2020. The notes are held too long in the first track and the noises/babble were too much. The rest of the album sounds like she just wanted to get a record out. Needs a lot more polish. The picture on the cover looks like Fiona is listening to her own songs from this album, I’ve never been a Fiona Apple fan and this may be why.

The first combination of heavy metal and wrap. A very interesting sound. Great musicianship. Definitely need to listen to it again sometime.

The Bones Of What You Believe
CHVRCHES
Great debut album. A fresh sound with a delightful voice from Lauren Mayberry. The song writing is good and the melodies are catchy. Really enjoyed this disc. The Mother We Share and Science/Visions are the standout tracks. Worth another listen.

Wow. This is a great sounding album. Never listened to it before, but I really like some of the tracks I’ve never heard. (The only song I knew was Changes.)

Your Arsenal
Morrissey
It’s just meh. All sounds the same. May have been relevant to someone in 1992, but it wasn’t to me. Drones on and on and open and… Tomorrow was the standout track for me. Rocks. I think it’s his voice I quickly tire of. Pretentious.

Love the guitarist’s edgy sound on his guitar and unique riffs. I’ve always liked the singers’s voice and vocal style. A lot of mid90s Alternative. Good sound. Gotta like it.

I can’t believe this appeared on a list for me. Just a lot of what made Disco insufferable. This album is definitely insufferable.
