The Cars
I initially thought it was unremarkable and boring and unmemorable, BUT I think the album improved a LOT in the second half (You’re all I’ve got tonight and onward). Kind of liked You’re all I’ve got tonight - sounds a bit like Queen and some fun harmonies. I really liked All Mixed Up. Listened then for a second time and I liked the album a lot better! It’s fun! They do remind me of Queen quite a bit with some of the harmonies. Just what I needed - love the “ribbons in your hair” part and also some interludes have this video game-like music which is really cool.

Brothers In Arms
Dire Straits
So far away has SpongeBob-y music which is cool. Money for nothing - hate it. Hate the bit about MTV, hate how soupy and slow the intro is. And why is it 10 years long?? Walk of life - fun farm/game music. Wish the vocals were louder though.
Why worry has like 2-3 minutes of NOTHING at the end? Huh? Is my phone broken or is this ridiculous? (Okay update my phone was being weird HA so can’t blame Dire Straits for that one)
Overall, not really for me. A little boring, long songs, they sing SO quietly…

Brothers
The Black Keys
Hated the first few songs. Everlasting light was sung so wispily and I thought the instrumentals sounded like random objects you’d find in a garage. Also tin can vocals and muffled. But it got better. The only one is pretty good, it’s a chill song. Too afraid to love you is also good. I like the swingy melody. Hate the go getter - it just sounds so flat. Several songs I just TOTALLY tuned out accidentally as background music. Whoops. But not the worst, really.

Superfly
Curtis Mayfield
Never heard of this movie before but thought the music was cool for the most part. Fun (wooden sounding?) instruments. Chill vibes. Vocals a bit breathy/high at times but liked it overall.
