Led Zeppelin
Track rankings:
1. Good Times Bad Times - Inoffensive /
2. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Bit unsure. I liked the upbeat instrumentations at parts but didn't particularly care for it otherwise /
3. You Shook Me - I quite liked it at the start but the goofy ahh flute went on WAY too long (over half the song holy shit) /
4. Dazed and Confused - Didn't stand out to me /
5. Your Time is Gonna Come - kinda bad lol /
6. Black Mountain Slide - ??? /
7. Communication Breakdown - This one was pretty decent, best one so far /
8. I Can't Quit You Baby - liked some funky guitar riffs, but did not care for the song. also this guy is freaky ahh /
9. How Many More Times - kinda skipped through bc it was boring but yeah /
The only one I added to my playlist was 7, but I will listen tomorrow and might remove idk. I will relisten to 2 tomorrow and might reconsider. Overall this album was largely just inoffensive and I didn't care for it at all, but I also didn't particularly hate it. I would probably give it 2.5/5 stars if I could, but if it's between 2 or 3 I definitely have to go with 2. I may or may not write this meticulous of a review for future albums, we'll see.

The World is a Ghetto
War
Track reviews:
1. The Cisco Kid - Fire, would listen again /
2. Where Was You At - didn't care for this one
3. City, Country, City - I'm not listening to 13 minutes of basic ahh jazz instrumentals it was fine ig /
4. Four Cornered Room - zoom zoom zoom (didn't mind it but not for me) /
5. The World Is A Ghetto - Absolute gas, though maybe a bit too long(?) /
6. Beetles in the Bog - really makes you feel like a beetle in the bog, peak /
As a whole the album was very good. I loved tracks 1, 5, and 6, but didn't care for 2 and 4. I wouldn't really listen to track 3, but in a certain context it fits really well with the album so I can understand its inclusion. Even on the stuff that's not for me I can respect the artistry that went into them. I'll give it a 4, but in reality it is probably like a 3.5/5 taken altogether. The good stuff was really good, the stuff I didn't care for brought the project as a whole down a little bit but that doesn't really matter anyways.

Eliminator
ZZ Top
"I Got the Six" was a dastardly ahh track :skull:
"I like the enchiladas, and the teriaki too"
Bland and unremarkable record (addendum: often it's actively bad). Their specific style of blues+rock is not it bro. Had to start skipping tracks for my sanity. The only redeeming factor was that they had some interesting riffs
Fucking garbage lmao, never want to hear another ZZ Top song. Very fitting that the wheel of fortune stand user is named "ZZ" after this band because both suck ass. Can't wait for ben to give this a high score for no reason

Brothers In Arms
Dire Straits
Track ratings:
1. So Far Away - Certified jam /
2. Money For Nothing - f****t (disco elysium reference). Not for me /
3. Walk of Life - Not exactly for me but better than last. That main riff goes hard tho /
4. Your Latest Trick - ABSOLUTE FIRE /
5. Why Worry? - Pretty good /
6. Ride Across The River - DONKEY KONG ASS TRACK (fire) /
7. The Man's Too Strong - bro managed to sing like a country artist and still make a good song /
8. One World - YOOOO THIS SONG IS FIRE
9. Brothers in Arms - Very good /
50 year olds will really hear "buy the mtv you faggot" and say yeah this is the best song and then never listen to the beautiful and somber track that is 'Your Latest Trick.' Seriously, why is 'Money for Nothing' the second most popular track on this album and one of their most popular tracks of all time????
Very good album. I would probably give it a 5 if it wasn't for tracks 2 and 3. There are also certain songs that I like much more than some of the others that I did still did like but yk

This is triggering my autism. Like I'm not even joking it has certain triggering noises for me I can't stand the sound of this. I'll skip through the rest of it but I'm already checking out at 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' cuz fuck this song specifically.

Darkness on the Edge of Town
Bruce Springsteen
IT'S TIME FOR TRACK REVIEWS MY FAVOURITE SEGMENT:
1. Badlands - simply fire /
2. Adam Raised a Cain - It's a very good song. I don't think that it gets too preachy, but rather is an effective Biblical allegory for the message he was trying to tell /
3. Something in the Night - gate of steiner sounding ahh song. Good! /
4. Candy's Room - Usually not the biggest fan of personalized anecdotes like this, but this song is too good to pass up on for that reason /
5. Racing in the Street - Tad too long, not my favourite, not bad either, probably a pass tho /
6. The Promised Land - that sax goes ridiculous. Chat is this walk of life BUT GOOD??? AIJOSDFOADOF /
7. Factory - Not bad, not for me /
8-10. Good! /
This album occasionally uses dissonant sounds, but they don't overstay their welcome and add to the songs. Sometimes the songs will go quiet. It's unexpected but works super well. This album was gaseous. Even the lesser good songs were fine. Listened to this twice since I didn't pay too much attention the first listen. It was too fire though so I had to do it justice.
4/5 maybe even a 4.5 but who can tell. Great album, anticipating more Springsteen.

It's a solid album. I'm not particularly inclined towards many songs, but there also aren't any bad songs. I particularly like "Killer Queen," "Flick Of The Wrist," and "Lily Of The Valley" (does millia rage reference this?)

Heaven Or Las Vegas
Cocteau Twins
This album is tough to put to words. The best I can do is "almost too stimulating" (although it's kinda overstimulating). It's quite good. I may have to forgive 'my bloody valentine' and give them another try since they are quite similar iirc (and it's one of the only albums I've kept trying to return to).
Anyways, I like tracks (playlisted): 1>3>4
I mean it's alright like: 10>6>5=2
Not that good: 9>8>7
Kinda mixed feelings on this one, potentially interested in more from this genre (NOT the velvet underground though)

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!
Frank Sinatra
I genuinely don't think it's possible for Sinatra to make a bad song, but I think it may be a bit hard for him to make an outstanding song. Maybe it's just because he's different than what I usually like? Idk might take this back later.
3 or 3.5 since I'm only particularly inclined to a few of the songs, and the songs I liked were mostly in the first half.
I get it does blend together a bit but I particularly liked tracks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Like I said though, no bad songs. I could see myself coming back to this album.

Swordfishtrombones
Tom Waits
'Underground' went ballistic but it did go significantly downhill (or underground, one might say) from there. There's elements that I like on the entire album. The minimalistic and experimental sound is good, and Waits' voice is amazing. From a very brief search this is his most "different" album and there is a lot more of him on the tracker so I'm interested to see if I will like him. Overall, this was alright but doesn't amount to much for me. Probably a 2.5.

Frampton Comes Alive
Peter Frampton
Live music is meant to be listened to in person. People who listen to live music at home baffle me. "Let me listen to a worse quality version with background noises!!" It's not 1976 anymore pal, get a grip.
Each song sounds the same, in a bad way. Even just listening to one song by itself, I feel nothing, it's completely unrecognizable music.
I'm going to lose my mind at the time of writing this. I'm going to start skipping through the tracks, I can't stand 80 minutes of this. The music gets a 2/5, but since it's live it gets a 1/5. Also, Doobie Wah is a stand in jojolion and that fight isn't that good and fuck jojolion.

Blood On The Tracks
Bob Dylan
I appreciate music that tries to tell a story or impart a message, but Bob Dylan only does that, as opposed to incorporating it with song. It feels like an audiobook with some mid folk music in the background. Bob Dylan isn't the greatest singer either, so he's literally just *telling* the story (sometimes his voice is bad as well). When he does lean into the music more, it gets worse. The harmonica sucks. I appreciate what he's trying to do and what he does do, but I wouldn't really come back to this, I don't think. It isn't bad though. 2/5, maybe a 2.5. I can't believe there are 6 more of this guy's albums....

It's elevator music + some saxophone but elevator music is fire and I'm tired of pretending it isn't. One of the better albums so far lol.
"The Girl From Ipanema" and "Corcovado" are really good. Tracks: 1>5>>3>7>2>>8>4>6. All good
(The last 2 tracks are not part of the original album and are from a reissue, ignore them)
