what is this genre of music called? idk if i like this. i keep waiting for these tracks to have more energy. this song is 7m long?? at the same intensity the entire time?? little sad englishman u gotta cut that shit out. okay we finally hit a track that doesnt sound like its the same track as the first 3 tracks. will learning what this genre of music is called prevent me from listening to it by accident. this is the kind of dislike where theres a chance ill listen to this like 5 more times and realize i love it actually but an equally large chance i will never enjoy it. theres some interesting instrumentation but it doesnt feel like its put to the service of any kind of...idk momentum. Point. think the vocalist is really REALLY not doing it for me either. hes like a very poor mans david bowie and i am not really a david bowie fan. okay fascination street is Actually a different track. thats like a little bit interesting. the second half has a diff tone than the 1st half of the album but sadly they do just feel like 2 tracks w an occasional Different Track for like 3m interspersed, not "a collection of distinct tracks that flow into each other harmoniously". omg no this isnt what Emo is as a genre right?? ik emo + goth are music genres but have no idea what they entail. but im sure this is either emo or goth. anyway the same deep water as you is actually also nice...too long but it might make it onto the EHIOF playlist bc its abt water in a creepy way! oh my god id like this album more if u made a different guy sing it and the total length was cut by 20m. homesick: another song i like but can tell its just gonna be too long. yeah the darker 2nd half is way way better than the front half. oh its over. RANKING: i would not buy a physical copy of this album unless like it waz a really Really fancy vinyl or smth. a 2.75/5 kinda beat. better songs: lovesong, fascination street, the same deep water as you, homesick. biggest complaint: album is way too long to feel this directionless

okay yeah this is more my speed. ive listened to this album before (father driving car music lmao) but not for a while so nice to revisit! i have it on w the obligatory writing background 72 hours of heavy thunderstorm/rain sounds while i do some narrative design/writing. this is so cheesy lol i do love this shit, now im having a hard time getting thru the album bc i keep restarting songs to hear fun bits again...the classic trap. the unfortunate thing abt this album is it Is all sex innuendos and further classic str8 guy misogynist sex innuendos [uhm emoji]. givin the dog a bone is like "im literally going to say shes blowing me but it doesnt count somehow" [uhm] [let me put my love in you comes on] OKAY BUT I DO LIKE THIS ONE. EVEN IF "CUT UR CAKE W MY KNIFE" IS ONE OF THE DUMB LINES OF ALL TIME. awww yeahhh back in black riff hello <33 i do think you shook me all night long is an overrated(?)/lower tier song on this album but the solo is okay. this is a very frontloaded album unlike the cure one lol, i keep going back to listen to earlier songs on repeat. rating: 3.5/5 bc of the gratuitous misogyny. would i buy a physical copy: maybe but it would depend on how cool the vinyl disk and the sleeve art were. standout songs: hells bells, shoot to thrill, let me put my love in you, back in black. greatest flaw: heterosexual men are disgusting

what a drag it is hearing an english guy sing kinda off tune about hating housewives?? IMMEDIATE nauseated emoji. AND THEN THE NEXT ONE IS LIKE "TEE HEE THIS GIRL IS SO STUCK UP AND STUPID"??? you dickhead shit idiot misogyny-puppeting-me-like-cordyceps-puppets-an-ant heterosexual im going to fucking kill you. yknow what those cordyceps & related funguses usually do is make the bug climb a tall plant and clamp onto it and then Die so the fungus spores can have a good vantage n airflow to be spread by the wind and i really feel like thats the vibe of mick jackoff making a studio album starting with an uninterrupted 5.5min of hating women. keep that shit to YOUR SELF. this little doot de doot de doot interlude doesnt do jack for me bc a) i just am built different and do not find english accent sexy (side note even i can notice how shit he is at doing a fancy voice which is funny. like when i learned australians cant do british accents any better than i can), and more importantly b) the instrumentation is cute but u talk abt women as objects and i hate u. THE NEXT SONG TOO?? GIRL??? AT LEAST I CAN BELIEVE THE FUCKING ACDC GUY MAKING SEX INNUENDOS ON PAR W A 9YO LIKES SOME WOMEN AS PEOPLE AND IS ATTRACTED TO THEM. i am PAUSING under my thumb to type this bc it makes me STEAMED DO YOU EVEN LIKE WOMEN??? man i like some rolling stones songs but this shit is so bad it makes me like the other stones songs i like LESS bcuz now i have to think about the blatant misogyny of the artist forever!! do u know how hard it is to make me like satisfaction by the rolling stones less!! im livid. WHO put this on the list of ALBUMS OF ALL TIME? A CISHET MAN I AM COMPLETELY SURE, A DIVORCED 1 BY NOW I PRAY. under my thumb is a song abt how hes happy and smug that hes an abusive controlling bf i think i am about to puke. might have to give this a did not complete guys. well thank goodness 5 songs in we get 1 thats not about hating women its just about being a jerk. OH. SO NOW U WANT TO HAVE ELEVEN MINUTES ABOUT WANTING TO GO HANG OUT WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND, LIKE YOU DIDNT SAY ALL THAT SHIT FOR THE FIRST SIXTEEN MINUTES OF THE ALBUM. yay you love fucking women and hate literally everything else about them i get it. i want to hunt this guy for sport that was eleven minutes and it sucked musically and lyrically oh my god ur kidding me. youre KIDDING me. its u guessed it anothersong about fucking being a piece of shit who hates women. BRO its shorter to list songs on this album that ARENT about hating women?? YEAH, TL:DR: I GOT TO LIKE 38 SECONDS INTO OUT OF TIME AND COULDNT DO IT ANYMORE. QUESTIONING THE VALIDITY OF THIS ENTIRE LIST OF ALBUMS IF IT HAS THIS SHIT IN IT. GENUINELY MAKING ME ANGRY. -9999999/5 STARS, GO FUCK YOURSELVES THE ROLLING STONES

am sitting down to listen to this while i try 2 help my friend w a poem theyre writing lets go. man i enjoy this (custard pie is so crunchy!) but we are just gettin unrelenting dad rock arent we. at least its back in "cishet man who seems to kinda like women" territory w better sex innuendos. okay the rover is [catbop] [catbop]. this is the dad music of basic technical competence i see (do NOT AT ME abt the stones i do NOT want to hear it until we hear a stones album that doesnt suck ass). i do rlly love the chords/moodiness of the rovers pre chorus. in my time of dying i love how bendy the guitar is [checks timestamp] okay but bro. MORE eleven minut e songs even if youre the thinking dads rock youre not telling me u couldntve shaved a couple seconds even off this one. okay houses of the holy is reasomably short and kinda fun. the crunchy guitar that was so charming on the first couple seconds of custard pie (which i keep wanting to call custard apple for some reason??) is kinda blending everything together at this point tho :/ i say rigjt before trampled under foot comes on ROCKING. this feels like a song that Should be abt gay sex (maybe all the refs to leather + automobile engines) but its merely abt boring heterosexual sex probably. ohhh i think ive heard kashmir b4 bc i felt dread as the climbing chord motif started n was like god this is 8m long isnt it lo and behold,. okay kashmir has 2 either be heavily sampled or played OR its reffing smth specific itself right? or is it just that its hitting the most prime stereotypical "we r western musicians grabbing some asian/north african musical motifs with both hands" motifs 2 go w the name + lyrical imagery n thats why its familiar, its the exact same little chromatic turnarounds that Everyone uses + theyre now in "unoriginal fantasy desert region" music (like in their incorporation into westerner composition 2bc their use in the original cultural music of asia/africa is most definitely original lmao)? oh good in the time it took me to write that it ended. NOW theres a WHOLE OTHER SECOND ALBUM OF THIS SHIT. oh my god in the light just picks up the same place as kashmir left off fuck me. im not hating this comparatively but im not gonna be loving it in another forty fucking minutes. okay i love the ominous upscale n creepy stretched out harmonized vocals. dude im just asking if u can maybe pick 1-2 songs to b in the 8-11m range not like...fuck bro what is this the 4th by now? at least? i get it bro im an overdrafter! im 25k words into a game script thats like maybe 1/3 written + im gonna have to edit it down by at LEAST half the wordcount when im done. but also jfc ykno sometimes editing for brevity improves the artistic power of ur ideas right! i think 1 or more of these tracks could really grab me by the throat but theyre like stuck supervillain monologing allowing me 2 sneak away OH SHIT ITS A 2M 6S SONG LED ZEPPLIN TURNED AROUND AND CAUGHT ME HALFWAY OUT THE DOOR oh its an instrumental im fine. ill take it tho this is lovely. okay another 5m track as led zeppelin recollect their days down by the seaside ive cut the ropes hiding me to this chair n tiptoed out to hide behind a large potted plant while the guards go rushing out. CMON U WERE ROCKING FOR A SECOND DOWN BY THE SEASIDE. have been informed that this is the one led zeppelin album they DIDNT edit for brevity oh goodie me...like i like this stuff on a second to second basis okay but i might need a tolerance break from dad rock. maybe its better as bg music? is rhat heresy? oh i love the intro to ten years gone...okay but again. maybe i need to listen to this as bg music but as what? like i guess if i were in a movie its gr8 movie montage music but i live in real life unfortunately. like aimlessly making out? maybe that would be too pretentious / not fun / gay / weird enough 4 my preferred brand of canoodling (<-- has never put on bg music during any romantic activity so has no idea). maybe writing but not if it was a high emotional intensity scene. cooking? NOT cleaning n prolly only coding or art if i didnt need to lock in. its like perfectly good in the bg im sure but trying to listen to it and have thoughts makes me focus on the ways in which it doesnt work as focus music. okay night music here we go this is like road trippy bopping bug fixing code energy level! see i dojt have time for as long of a complaint tangent in the middle CMON CMON NOW MEET ME IN THE MORNIN WONTCHA MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGH NIGH NANANANIGHT. i rlly do still love the crunchy electric guitar thruout im like vaguely cultured enough to kno thats like an LZ specialty. oh ive heard boogie w stu at some point maybe? yeah im just out of steam can i get an editors cut of this one. i want the vers of these songs that are just [GESTURES PUTTING HANDS ROUGHLY SHOULDER WIDTH SPACING APART AND THEN SCOOCHING BOTH ENDS CLOSER TO THE MIDDLE LIKE IM PUTTING THIS ALBUM IN A TRASH COMPACTOR OR HYDRAULIC PRESS] scoooch it in, yknow,. im reminded that maybe in my data entry job days i couldve grown 2 like this thru captive audience stockholm syndrome (phone has to stay face down on desk) but i just generally have too much agency in my life now im no longer the man who listened to every single sufjan stevens song on spotify (as of 2019) in chronological order. (DONT do this. HE HAS TEN (10) XMAS ALBUMS OF 10 SONGS EACH.) YAAAAYY im done. uh i have to rate it. 3/5 (like its higher than the cure in that more of the music is actively enjoyable but only slightly bc its also even fucking longer). would i buy a physical copy of this? if the vinyl looked cool sure but mainly so i looked smarter than i actually am, maybe that wouldve worked on my exgf. standout songs: the rover, trampled underfoot, night flight, abt 30s of most songs. critical weakness: girl its just too fucking long. i cant even call it padded more like its a block of raw unpolished marble you didnt finish taking the elephant out of. [kneeling to say bedtime prayers like 1950s boyscout] can i get a shorter and different genre album tomorrow god or santa claus or whoever?

okay im starting this one. at least its fucking short. okay doing fun riff + comparing women to cars again. why is the top 1001 albums list full of identical rock albums w identical riffs from identical bands singing about women as objects. im sorry im sure theres technical skill on display w the shredding solo but so far yawn snooze boring been there its hour 4+ of this shit. OH OKAY this one is at least about how u were a dumbass and ur gf left u? that demonstrates more character + personality growth than any of these other chucklefucks so far. nothing else goin on here but moral victory ig? okay love the bass solo on pictures of home. they thought never before was the single on this one? lol. there is smth appropriate abt listening to a guy sing I NEVERR FELT SO BAD BEFORE, NEVER BEFORE given my current mental state (bad, stressed abt deadlines, feel like failure) + physical circumstances (gonna sleep next to the carbon monoxide detector bc we need to keep the unsafe furnace on 1 more night bc its 15 degrees out) + being stuck listening to dad rock. like girl ive prolly felt so bad before but this is up there! damn true! okay yeah smoke on the water. this is a pretty good song its true + the story of recording the album being the single off the album is charming - "no matter what we get out of this" money dude ig! just not sure smoke on the water is a good enough reason for this to be on a 1001 great albums list dude yno? okay hmm. ill suffer this 7m song 2 live bc it starts w extremely sad hammond organ. maybe everythingn the other long songs needed was hammond organ? much 2 consider. ooh its also abt depression lmao good. no wait harmonica?? put that back. space trucking? is this what teenage boys thought was cool in 1972? well at least that ones short i wouldve blown a gasket. oh my god im going to have to start listening to these on private spotify sessions i can already see my recommendations from the algorithm going to shit. i would not buy this record i would not tell my friends and family i guess smoke on the water is good but i am just out of fucking patience for this kind of white guys in the 20th century going meedly meedly mee on guitars kind of music!

okay as of this 1, private spotify session so i dont ruin my algorithm any more than i already have. okay this sucks i can already tell. theoretically i should like the tonality + crunchy guitar on this 1st track but--oh my god they switched jams and it sounds even MORE like ass--anyway but something feels offputting and unpleasant accoustically abt it. is this what u all mean when ur talking abt the mix?? this guy sucks at singing too! dude i think whatever you do in the recording studio + post recording is so notably poor quality that even i can discern it thats buck wild. hideaway is like abt what a 6th grade school jazz band could muster, absolute nothingburger track. WAIT? WHAT? THIS ONE HAS A SONG ABOUT HITTING ON AN 18YO GIRL AS A GROWN MAN MUSICIAN?? okay marking it DNC but by that i mean giving it a 1 so i can drag the global ratings down just like the stones YOU can go fuck yourselves TOO

LETS FUCKING GO ITS NOT DAD ROCK!! wait im a lyricshead and i dont speak any fucking french. shit. uh he said poisson i know that one. and amsterdam. this guy has a major cigarette voice ian was right. i find the like 7 minutes of clapping on every track of a live album really annoying almost all the time ngl (unless its somebody i like then its fine). yeah this is really not doing it for me even at all so much for my dreams of an actually lovable album. nothing actively awful i just cant get into this guy singing he sounds like hes in some movie musical on tango funèbre. sorry bro stromae can sing in french u r not stromae tho. have we had a single artist yet whos not a white european? (googles) oh right. AC/DC are white australians. my bad :/ le dernier repas is a little interesting! the 1st thing so far thats rlly grabbed me boring but i cant understand if hes saying anything misogynistic bc i dont speak french so itll be a 2 from me

FUCK i almost forgot about the homework. oh we got some wiggly noises. why is everything panned so weird. OMG WE FINALLY HAVE AMERICAN ARTISTS theyre still white + singing weirdly abt consent. bro i think rikki turned u down + is not going to have a change of heart but at least this album is short so u didnt quite lose me. oh i rlly like the guitar solo actually....like kinda clean--bro she does know her mind. its tragic this is like clearly abt a girl i cant even imagine its a rickey (gay) smfh. theres like a goofy quality to this music....like the instruments sound goofy. idk how to explain it. not hating it tho which is funny bc i was rolling my eyes at deep purple just the other day...this feels less self important? more fluid n less like mechanically chugging? the guitar is rlly doing it for me its like not as distorted so it sounds softer and wigglier (idfk bro im just sayin things). i wouldnt say i dont care if its wrong or right but i sure aint got the heart 2 lose another fight, guess i gotta consider taking it night by night too. okay no next song is a fucking shitpost. this shit sucks. "any major dude will tell u my funky one" bro can u be fucking serious. the guitar is lovely sounding n the melody is nice but--oh okay i cant hide from whats inside of me? rude + personal unsolicited advice. i feel like im getting advised by one of the shirtless bros typing to the kid in the meme. but like that was lovely sounding i simply could not take it serious. barrytown should be playing over an animated montage of star belly sneeches being racist to plain belly sneeches. extra funny bc i grew up nearish to a town called "barre" (pronounced same as "barry" in "barrytown") + we did in fact call that hs "scary barre"...whoops. guitar(???) on toodle oo is so toodle ooing that it almost sounds like someone singing in a little meedley mee voice. actually now im suspicious that it somehow is??? now THIS is playing over black n white cartoon music. w all the "statistically likely 2 b a racist cartoon" that implies. intro to parkers band is fun! unfortunately every time they start singing lyrics it makes it sound goofy as hell. but also many of the other lyrics on these other albums also did so......i feel like steely dan is more likely to know that they sound completely silly goofy than like, deep purple or bluesbreakers or the rolling stones.....so should i cut them some slack.....bro. through with buzz is kind of funny n interesting sounding love a song abt being pissed off bc a guy keeps clowning on u ezcept i DONT like it when u have to throw in a homophobic insult. bro. thats NOT very major dude of u. "maybe hes a fairy" is he a fairy or did he steal ur girl?? insert the grand budapest hotel "u are but ur bisexual". y--you want to tour in a...what....?? this is good electric guitar i guess?? man this is the dad music of a dad whos like mostly chill but then sometimes says something where ur like dad do u know that has Implications and Assumptions?? god the end of pretzel logic sounds good tho. but also the first lines? oh with a gun DOES sound like horse w no name like extremely u werent kidding. and it sounds cool! if i dont process the lyrics which are goofy. but at least the instrumentation / vocals work which is more than i can see abt most of the rest of the chuckleheads weve listened to? im going on some face journeys here. fuck tho that very brief guitar outro. charlie freak is.....hmm this time i feel like that couldve been moving but the instrumentation undersold it. like the lyrics were a bit goofy but that time the instruments were the goofier part. monkey in your soul got some crunchy brass. okay so like....i think the "aware that theyre goofy" read is correct but the more i listen im like "but are they goofy despite awareness bc theyre pure at heart goobers or bc theyre kinda cynical + view rock/blues/Popular Music as goofy" + on the first few tracks id say the 1st but on the last few tracks im wondering abt the 2nd. a perplexing vibe. i think i have to give this another 2 im sorry for being such a hardass of a grader. i promise i was gonna grade them a 3 for at least being good natured but now im like are they?? i will say i can hear that the playing is actually good which is again more than i can say for some of these fuckers. (we rlly should not have let british ppl claim to have invented rock like seriously bro.) would i buy a physical copy: no. standout tracks: uhhh ig night by night, with a gun, pretzel logic / any major dude if i dont listen too hard to the lyrics. biggest problem: im like just not sure why theyre making some of these decisions

thank god its something new. i am not super rap cultured so looking forward 2 it! love when an album starts w a media clip and or crosstalk so liking that. smth i admire the rap i have listened 2 for is that its so lyrically dense but it does make it slower to listen to attentively bc i keep wanting to pause n read the genius annotations lol. like his stream of consciousness narration it feels very fluid. also "straight out the fuckin dungeons of rap" is a great opener. "full of children" lmao. okay i like this guy. sleep is the cousin of death thats fun. ny state of mind by which he mean it sucks billy joel. "life is a parallel to hell" man i feel like i could listen to this like 5x n not run out of interesting snippets to think abt. the turntable scratching shit is extremely Rap From The Nineties tho lol. "he released this album when he was 20" thanks what am i doing w my life #??? etc. awwww his dad is the guy playing trumpet....no guys like out for Dead presidents. braves mentioned? sorry my notes r sporadic for this one bc i keep having to pause to think abt / read the lyrics lmao. ohhhhh its halftime bc u have to flip the track....ngl i do admire the its a physical item ness of records vs cds or streaming like u miss the opportunity to do fun stuff. boo f slur throw it in there w/e. okay sorry im just reading the genius dot com im not sayin anything particularly smart abt this 1 iknow. i wouldnt say this is an album id listen to on repeat--its By Design centering experiences, making references etc i dont get as a white guy from not queens + theres (as w every album we fucking listen to on this site) still the element of straight guy being edgy in ways that dont further his point mixed in w the instances that Do what hes trying to do--but the craftsmanship + the emotion behind the verses are absolutely dead on good as hell. really feel like as i said on ny state of mind i could listen to this one forever n consider the lyrics from a new angle forever. like my head feels stuffy from thinking abt it. i also know juuuust enough ball to see how this mustve been massively influential + how thisll give me new insight listening to rap/hiphop from now on bc i see a little bit more of the tradition now so unlike fucking aftermath by the stones or the blues breakers for once i feel like this was a 100% deserved inclusion on the albums to listen to before u die list. thats gonna be a 4/5 from me. standout tracks: ny state of mind, halftime, memory lane, represent. would i buy a physical record? idk but if i did i would relish flipping it over after halftime. going to have to come back to this one later honestly

just as much as yes was horrible music for the godawful mood i was in yesterday night miriam makeba is the perfect music for the elysian bliss i feel this evening after fucking cooking all day at work. i wouldnt say i know jazz at all but i did grow up listening to ella fitzgerald on miserably cold snowy evenings such as i find around myself again this evening + miriam makeba feels like i ran into a cool older friend for the 1st time in a while (ella fitzgerald) who had an equally cool friend of abt the same age w her (miriam makeba) with whom i immediately hit it off in the same way ^w^ she has that rare combo beautifully characterful emotionally expressive vocal quality x unimpeachable technique + control how many ppl can say that? suliram is so cozy n lovely. man its cool how african diaspora music <--> music from africa, some of this isnt familiar (+ is very cool!) but some rlly is like (pointing) oh like in jazz. not sure how much is independently developed vs how much is in conversation w each other but its nice. LINGUISTICS FACT: did u kno click consonants are only* found as an areal feature in southern/eastern africa? (* iirc theyre attested in 1 australian lang but said lang is actually a ritual/ceremonial register of the everyday lang of that community which doesnt have clicks so thats kinda different). i rmember my chorus teacher in hs made us learn some clicks for 1 song + she was very serious [gun pointing meme] make an effort...ive forgotten how tho. god she has such a nice voice. the transition btwn umhome --> olilili is very smooth kinda like theyre 1 thing, i like it. also ofc shes the star but good gravy her backup chorus are pros every one of em. love the tone + the harmonies. seriously bro lakutshn, ilanga sounds like a jazz standard. like uncannily. im not sure why this is. its very somewhere over the rainbow (positive). rlly wish i could understand the lyrics......what is it about....aww yeah mbube from music league!! liking that is why i was like okay i dont need to go spotify private sesh for this album of the day + that was 100% the right call, miriam makeba heal my spotify algorithm pls. god the backing chorus is so good in this too...the boss needs her adds the pope needs her cardinals the moon needs a shitload of stars. ghhhhhhh where does it lead is so [cateyes emoji] [kicking my feet] this is 1 of my favorite Song Moods. god her voice is SO good. this is a delight finally some good fucking food. the final verse of where does it lead gives me goosebumps. aaaaa clapclapclap. and then novema is u were up before dawn Thinking (where does it lead) --> sun rises as u decide 2 b optimistic (novema). OH MY GOD AND NOW SHES DOING HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN??? stoooopp you cant keep getting away with it. oh i love how charles coleman cant stop giggling as they sing that is so cute. he cant even finish the lines. hes like cracking up like he really is on something!! this is next level im dying.(CAN BARELY SAY IT) Y..OUR HUSBAND IS (WHEEZE) DEAD. TEE HEE!! oh the lower range in iya guduzu is such a nice lovely sendoff. despite this being a shorter album it took me extra long to get thru bc i kept listening to songs again and again. if there was even 1 flaw to this album it is that the human brain cant instantly understand lyrics in any language it hears, which is a tragedy of nature + no fault of miriam makeba &co. if i listen to only dumb ass idiot albums from here on out on this site it will be still kinda worth it for introducing me to miriam makeba. superb. sublime. 5/5 stars. standout tracks: suliram, lakuthshn ilanga, mbube, where does it lead, nomeva, one more dance, look i just listed half the fucking album. i would buy a physical copy of this record even if it somehow did not look cool which i know is guranteed false. EVERYONE CHEER + CLAP FOR MIRIAM MAKEBA OR I BLOW THE WHOLE BUILDING UP!!!!!

someone remind me when this review goes up to post that 1 amv of nick/gatsby set to green light by lorde. god this song is fun. BUT WHAT WILL WE DO WHEN WERE SOBER love this song actually. nature is healing its been 2 entire nights of no dad rock. love when the big trumpets come in here. funny that lorde apparently had the color association of this song that its blue/violet bc to me this sounds extremely green/copper but ig to each their own its kinda like this stuff is made up n imaginary? okay now were onto songs i dont know. thanks 4 evoking top gun once of the least atmospheric or cool or romantic movies ever (straight men i said what i said). i love her layered spacey vocals always. okay i lied ive heard the louvre a few times. sorry im not feeling too chatty in my stream of consciousness tonite but i do think its lamw that liability is jsut about herself n not the roommate whos actually in love w her and its a classic lesbian love story or something idk. i got interested but then i got bored again. lorde has a rlly fun voice i must say. even when shes singing a song abt straight romance. "theyre all gonna watch me disappear into the sun" okay...thats....thats kinda....mood. OOHH THW STRINGS BEND. ive never listened to this whole album all the way thru so interesting that the big romance is like 4 songs n then the breakup is the next 7 songs. ig thats kinda how it goes doesnt it. wait 3 years?? u were w this person for 3 years but then thats 4 songs n the breakup is 7 songs?? girl thats why youre getting divorced. i love the metal screechy door noises n the snaps in here w the strings its very fun. OOOOHH here we go audio dialogue sample n then changed beat on the song. i love the little bouncy melody singsongy cute voice n the underwatery(?? literally dont have vocab for the bg noises) but spelling a word out continues to b a risky play lyrically im not into it here. feels like this song fadesout bc she couldnt think of anything better to do w it. okay yes lets go melodrama. titledrop the album here reference the prev song as "II" lets go. OKAY yeah i hear a little bit of the melody of sober in here in THE TERROR AND THE HORROR ur RIGHT. this album would b pretty banger in a stage musical adaptation btw. its a perfect 1 acter length. this fucking rules i love this track taking the album into a like....more explicitly conceptual / narrative place instead of just "lets be fucked up abt the breakup" songs for the entire back half. OHHH OKAY she thinks of this as abt a house party....inchresting...........also mood on im a writer n now lets incorporate this fucked up event into a lot of fiction n intellectualize Productivist it so we dont have to think abt it as an upsetting event but its a part of ur brain space still as an event in the fiction ur toiling at n embellishing. she feels very kate bush in the "i love u till u call the cops on me" postchorus. shit my headphone batteries r gonna die but supercut is so fun please last another 10% hahahaa...ngl making me kinda tear up OH and then a liability reprise. maybe all this is the party okay so that is the concept album metaphor. want 2 do a vers of this thats like 1 of those shakespeare performance art pieces where they perform a different scene from hamlet or macbeth or smth in each room n u go btwn them. aw perfect places rlly makes me tear up n im not sure why. i would buy a physical copy of this record! major flaw: idk...has to be commercial pop not a performance art piece. i feel like lorde has the potential to turn into bjorke and do off the wall weird shit she just hasnt yet. i dont rmember the other things i do at the end of the review--standout songs: green light / sober / melodrama / supercut. sorry i was kinda out of it tonight guys but this was fun! its like a 3.5

great. a long one. to me fleetwood mac is up there on long car rides music w parents for sure. over n over is a sweet one tho, rlly showcases her voice i like how it builds n gets more electricky n more anxious for the outro. okay this ones fun YOU CAN LOVE ME BABY BUT YOU CANT WALK OUT. someone ought to tell u what its really all about like the audience telling u that ur just singing abt fucking and or breaking up w each other? thats fleetwood macs thing right. SPROING SPROING BOUNCY GUITAR. okay ive heard think about me lol i know this one this always kinda gets me....if theyre the one u love think abt them!! cmon once in a while!! dont be mean!! oh man i also dont know why i have to (feel compelled to) work + why i cant (psychologically unable to) play....dont know why i have to go n cant stay kinda want to be alone AND be amazed. am i just going to be too sad listening to this fucking album. its 1 of those fucking days huh. oh rlly lovely intro to sara on the piano(??). shit this ones gonna be heavy. DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE...WHERE EVERYBODY WOULD LOVE TO DROWN. okay so like...did the two ladies from fleetwood mac ever try firing the two dudes? cuz in sara stevie nicks is extremely emotionally vulnerable + then whatsisface over here (the man w the shouty voice) comes in + makes the vibe kind of passive aggressive + confrontational when considered next to/responding to the prev song?? bro shes trying to use i-centered language here. storms is nice but couldve used some editing down--love the sadness on the strings/melody at the end of verse phrases tho. and the chorus! but like u shoulda ended after "i have always been a storm" like that just feels like a more natural ending point (and then it keeps going for 90s). AND SEE NOW THATS ALL FOR EVERYONE COMES ACROSS ALL LIKE...BLAME SHIFTING?? idk his voice is annoying AND THEN NOT THAT FUNNY IS LIKE. BRO UR MAKING THE VIBE WEIRD. who is this guy w the shouty obnoxious voice. which is he i dont like him. love the darker serious intro to sisters of the moon FUCK I HIT DID NOT LISTEN AND NOT SAVE I FORGOT ITS THE NEXT DAY!! ENABLING EDITING WILL KEEP THE REST OF MY NOTES QUICK. I LISTENED 2 IT ALL YESTERDAY I PROMISE I JUST WAS COOKING SO MY HANDS WERE TOO BUSY FOR NOTES. anyway sisters of the moon fucks. i love the bass(?) in angel esp the intro + stevies voice is wonderful! the lyrics arw kinda ehh sure whatever but she just has a way of embueing emotion into anything she sings n making me think okay i dont get exactly what stevie nicks is singing abt but its meaningful 2 her n i respect that. SO I CLOSE MY EYES SOFTLY TIL I BECOME THAT PART OF THE WIND THAT WE AAALL LONG FOR SOMETIIIIMESS...YEAAAH....TO THOSE THAT I LOVE LIKE A GHOST THRU A FOG [catbop emoji]. and then thats enough for me is like "this is a fun song it can maybe stay but after stevie nicks was singing abt how she like just has to put up walls away from her ex bc it was good when it was good but it ultimately was hurting her n she needs 2 remind herself of that, this one makes it sound like ur being all Well Why Cant U Enjoy It For What It Is And Dont Be Too Demanding. u see that right." also his voice sounds nice enough on the verses but the YEAH YEAH YEAH shouty shit he always does is REALLY fucking grating. idk which of them were fucking which so i dont know if these actually Are targeted but they Sound that way + im frankly rooting for an alternate history where stevie + [christine??] fire (romantically, fiscally) the guys + realize all this time they only really loved each other or something. good gravy. man a lot of the back half needs trimming down (physical grafitti syndrome) but whatshername, christine [lastname of one of the annoying guys] ALSO has such a heavenly voice....it has a diff texture from stevies so its so nice to hear them play off each other in same or sequential tracks. but yeah this one couldve been edited relative to the not even that long length but the number of ideas on it but this is the once an album song u could fuck to pass. also the guitar is lovely. maybe the man who plays the guitar can stay IF he sticks to guitar ONLY + does what stevie/christine say + also is dumped. also side note its so lovely to hear a song romanticizing brown eyes for once : ) ! NEVER MAKE ME CRY IS GOING 2 MAKE ME CRY WHENEVER IT COMES ON. GIRL HE DOESNT DESERVE U. BUT NOW HERE COMES MR JACKOFF SINGING ABT I KNOW IM NOT WRONG. LIKE ITS KIND OF A BOP BUT READ THE ROOOOMM. SHUT UP. YOUR VOICE IS ANNOYING TOO. wait which of them is the guy from blues breakers who sucks >__> didnt u all say he recurred here?? girl this physical grafitti syndrome is out of hand. like honey hi is fine enough its pretty (a man is not singing it) but u gotta like....edit the big tracks + pick ur complimentary tracks judiciously. the harmonies are so darling tho. beautiful child the rare lady singing song i think shouldve just been cut like oh brother when the fuck will this be over. walk a thin line? between getting fired + getting this track skipped? BUT THEN THEYVE JUST BURIED TUSK AT THE END, a feral seething shout?? where the fuck was this earlier. U can reallyyyt hear this is abt cheating n being cheated on lmfao. the way it builds THE TRUMPETS, yelling TUSK!! the shouty guys voice finally works!! and the drums!! and then never forget is back to end of the album mid. like its not even that bad--tho lol could we ever forget tonight well not after the screaming argument u just had on the last track buddy!!--but ultimately this has the keys to be a 5 star album but is merely 4 stars bc a) they didnt cut enough of it down, b) they didnt cut enough of THE GUY SINGING SPECIFICALLY. like when the list of standout tracks: over + over, think about me, sara, sisters of the moon, brown eyes, never make me cry, tusk <-- do u see what the trend is here?? oh my god make that mediocre dude shut up while u edit his self indulgent whinging off the album. i wouldnt buy this album on a record bc then id scratch it moving the needle to skip tracks but like again this is a 4 could be a 5. except for greatest flaw not everybody is pulling their weight evenly!!
