I didn't like this album at all. I'm not really a fan of the 70s-far-away-from-the-microphone singing style anyway. The only song(s) I thought were passable were the ones where Stevie was singing.

Meat Is Murder
The Smiths
Liked the sound of this album. Singing style reminds me of Duran Duran. MEAT IS MURDER song is so judgey and a bit spooky. I was in PE alone when the song came on and the cow moo's made me stop and take out my headphones to make sure it was the song and not real-life.

Born To Be With You
Dion
Didn't want to like this as much as I did (which still wasn't much). I was surprised by some nice, smooth bass runs (If I can Just Get Through). Saxophone saved some songs (eg. Born to Be with You). Ended up adding More to You to my music because of how airy-jazzy-funky it was.

All Hope Is Gone
Slipknot
Amanda's review [Two stars]: I was surprised at how much I was OK with this album. I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to get through the full offering but found myself inadvertently head banging while listening through.
Brandon's review (since Amanda's rating got logged on the wrong profile by mistake):
Didn't really care for this. There's screaming that I like and there's screaming I don't like - this album is a great example of the guttural "trying to impress you" screaming I don't like. The best parts of the album are when it's at its farthest from itself ("Snuff"). The darkness/nihilism in the lyrics comes off as mostly vapid to me. It feels like it's trying to be shocking... maybe it was in 2008 but it's pretty toothless now. Lastly, at 57:57 this is also just too big a dose of this for me (and the version I streamed had a handful of bonus tracks that added another 14 minutes).

My god the falsetto in the opening track. Didn't know a punk band could do that. I don't like it. Other than that, thought it was a nice, dirty, punk offering. Could have done without the spacy interlude of Starship.

I grew tired of Courtney Love's singing tone, especially on the softer songs. Why is every song so long? I imagine I'll come back to this album in small doses.

Wild Is The Wind
Nina Simone
Generally not a fan of the groove-type songs and the trill-y type singing which Nina does A LOT of. And even though I found many of the songs to be quite sad, I enjoyed the jazzier ones regardless.

This album was OK. I thought the songs with the "skits" would have been better without the "skits." Also, the jibberish Spanish was weird.
