The Joshua Tree
U2
First three are great. Goes into a dark country blues vibe which was cool, but lacking any hooks. Last two songs exit and mothers of the disappeared had an interesting cool vibe but again lacked that finishing melodic punch for me.

Let's Get It On
Marvin Gaye
A bit samey for me, but I don't think the atmosphere of a frigid dog walk was the right one for it's sexy vibes. I can imagine it has a time and place. Wins points for an objectively great voice and some lovely arrangements, particularly liked Just to Keep you satisfied. Hadn't heard Distant Lover before and liked that track a lot. 6 on 10.

Revolver
Beatles
Classic album, ruined by Yellow Submarine. Marked change from previous efforts, shows The Beatles moving in their own direction, well away from their pop-rock roots and even the folk-inspired Rubber Soul. The final two tracks are my highlights, Tomorrow Never Knows one of my favourite ever tracks.

Never heard of the guy but thought it was alright. Wham Bam was a fun song.
