On The Beach
Neil Young
Before listening: I feel like I won't like this that much, not that interested in 70s as a whole. I do really like the album cover.
Listening: I actually quite like the instrumentals, not super into the lyrics, they feel a little basic at times. His voice isn't great at some points. I really like the funkier bass ones but not so into the slower ones. I really like the more politically motivated/commentary lyrics, about the end of the 60s etc. "I guess I'll call it sickness gone, It's hard to say the meaning of this song" is great. I still don't love his voice, though...
Final reactions: Half the songs were bangers, half dragged for me. I don't love his voice, I think that affected my enjoyment a fair bit. Decent, though.
Standout songs: Walk On, Revolution Blues (actually a banger), Vampire Blues, Ambulance Blues (I'm sensing a theme here)

BREAK ON THRU 2 THE OTHA SIDE
Alabama Song is truly a terrible song what the hell
JIM STOP SAYING "LITTLE GIRLS"
End of the Night is kinda spooky and fun.
The lyrics are dull and cliche tbh. Maybe they are the origin of the cliché but whatever. I feel like I'd like a lot of songs much more without them, like Take It as It Comes is quite good musically but the lyrics are so boring.

Surf's Up
The Beach Boys
I wanted to like this as seeing more of the Beach Boy's other than their hits really interested me but I just don't like it. Idk what it is about them. I think it's their vocal production mixed with the keys, I get it's GOOD I just don't like it.
Standout was Student Demonstration Time for me. I actually think it followed a pretty formulaic rock and roll formula and I'm not actually sure what they were trying to say, I think I was just happy from a break from actual Beach Boy's stuff
