Nice music, for the nice people

Shocked that I really like the back half of this album more than the first three songs that are all really famous singles

Excellent and inventive

So fun and silly, wish I had this as a kid (even better, we got it when we’re 40)

Tears Dry On Their Own bangs

Richard Thompson is a great arranger

Razor Face 🥰

Awful

“Dirty Work” and “Reelin’ in the Years” are both great, classic pop songs. Hope there is more Dan in this book as this is probably the least interesting album!

One of my favorites

“No More No More” is right

This is another 3.5 to me. Glad I re-listened, some great songs on here!

Never heard this before, it was fun!

Not for me but I can appreciate some good thrash metal drumming

This was dope. Name a spookier song than “Good Morning, Captain”!!!

“Duncan”, “Peace Like a River” and “Congratulations” are so beautiful that this gets four stars from me even though I actively dislike a lot of the lyrical content

Perfect album, with perfect sequencing. Bonus assignment: listen to the Neil Young tracks from CSNY’s 4 Way Street

Like for the general soundscape they cultivated here, don’t love bc the songwriting is a bit too same-y for me

Gotta appreciate these guys

This calmed me down while commuting through Union square so it really is transportative. Yes I paused it on the train to watch several Lonely Island videos but that’s really none of your business.

Did I need to hear this again? Probably not. It’s fine though.

Unsurprisingly I liked the super long ambient track at the end better than anything else, kind of loved that. Everything else meh.

I think this is what’s meant by “caterwauling”

Liked this a lot!

Nice music, for the nice people

When the vibes player really went off that was pretty cool

I respect the energy with which Janis Joplin threw herself into singing but this music is not really for me

I love this band for their sincere mishmash of hardcore and southwestern Americana, aggressive rhythm playing and surprisingly elegant harmonics…if you listen to Up on the Sun you also realize they are huge nerds, a fact that makes me love them even more. Maybe an acquired taste but endeared to me. “New Gods” slays.

Important context for The Muppets

Who am I to rate Miles Davis 4/5. Oh well, it’s a 4/5.

Really didn’t like the bluesy stuff much at all, but I like Questions 67 and 68 a lot

The Lennon/McCartney songs are like pre-TikTok dopamine factories

We have to trick the moms into letting the kids bop with us
