"Mother and child reunion" is a banger
Don't understand the overwhelming popularity of "Me and Julio by the schoolyard"
Rest of the album is boring

Highway star : Why is that guitar solo so muddy ?
Pictures of Home - Bass solo is amazing
Never before - THE STEREO IMAGING ??? Holy hell if I close my eyes that guitar in the intro is right in front of me, a little to my left that's sick, tickles my brain
SMOOOOKE ON THE WAAAATEEEEER
tun tun tuuun - tun tun tunuuun - tun tun tuuun - tun - tuuun
Lazy - That song sounds so jazzy I love it. That ride playing through the song, that swinged rhythm in the intro, hmmmmm juicy
Space Truckin' - Absolute headbanger
What happens in the stereo field in this album is insane, so much clarity in the space
So much of the guitar melodies are legit earworms

Ragged Glory
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Really interesting sounds
Those minutes-long guitar riffs are quite iconic
Loved "Country Home" and "Over and Over"
Mother earth is pretty cool, it really has that national anthem vibe. Is it the scale used along with the slower bpm? Interesting

Roni Size
DNB LETSGO
Brown paper bag starts as boring and weird, but gradually pulls you in. Finished the song not realizing I've been headbanging for the last 5 minutes
Let's get it on drum break is tight af
Digital : Vocals are really dry
The sterero imaging in Matter of fact is really cool, so much movement
Sounds are WEIRD, often sounding like they're not even in time
Album cover is fucking cool
I want to put 4 cause me like dnb but if I'm honest I haven't had such a great time listening

No one i this world can resist to sing along to No woman no cry it's so good
Rebel music : Danakil marley instrumental gimmick!!
Talkin' blues : "Your feet are too big for your shoes" quite ironic
Really strong album overall, bob is a legend

Fear Of A Black Planet
Public Enemy
Wasn't that focused when listening to this one
Old school rap, addressing big topics in the black community. Those issues are still there today 35 years later, uh-oh!
Interesting to hear (what i interpret as) a MC behind the rapper's vocals and how predominant he is.
You don't hear that anymore in today's rap I believe, or maybe I don't listen to the kind of hip hop that does feature it.

Pièce de théâtre froide - Parachutes
Gonna have to listen to it a second time. An album this popular should not leave me this emotionless. I must have missed something.
Well maybe I missed it again but the second time was as dull as the first.
Yellow is cool I like the bassline.
It's not bad music I guess. If it's that popular, they definitely did something right. I, however, don't resonate with it.

Ghosteen
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
So apparently this album was made after the death of the singer's son.
Ghost + teen = ghosteen? weak pun not a fan
The music has a gloomy but hopeful vibe that's quite pleasing.
I'll do another listen concentrating on the lyrics.
Alright I did another listen and it goes indeed quite deep.
Yeah what Cave went through truly is terrible.
I was going to say I wasn't that moved by the album. But nobody cares how it made me in particular feel or how relatable it was for me.
Cave felt the need to make music after his son's death, a process which may or may not have healed him in some way, but that's not important.
He made art -
From and for his own feelings.
From and for a moving event he went through.
From and for his loved ones.
That's one of the most beautiful things one can do.
I'm now going to rate the album quite low. It is based on how the music sounded and how much I enjoyed listening to it, not on how much emotional weight it has.

Live At The Harlem Square Club
Sam Cooke
I'm not sure how I feel about live albums.
Audio quality is lower, we hear the crowd, we hear the fuck ups, which is fine when you're actually there, but just listening to it is meh imo.
Actually there are 0 fuck ups in this one it's quite impressive
Last one was cool, him playing with the crowd was fun to hear

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
I know this guy!
Last album of his - ragged glory - got a 3 from me. It also came out 20 years later (1990), so it's probably quite different.
Pretty cool! Indeed quite different from ragged glory. Less adventurous i'd say ? But good voice, good melodies.
10min songs tho, too long for my 2025 gen Z attention span
I feel like i'm giving so much 3s

Love the cover
I think I like melodic stuff, this album is not melodic enough for my taste. It's more about textures and ambience i feel like.
Definite shroom music
