Ha ha
Wait again again, way better LOUD, at volume 11, or on the swanky headphones.
Possibly 4.5 if I could.

Before listening, nostalgia was telling me 4 or 5 star album.
With fresh ears I struggled to get through it in one sitting.
Some good songs, not a strong album.
Hasn’t aged well.

Live At Leeds
The Who
Original 1970(!) LP track listing is great - 5 star, love the live sound, play it LOUD
Side one
"Young Man Blues" (Mose Allison) – 4:52
"Substitute" – 2:23
"Summertime Blues" (Jerry Capehart, Eddie Cochran) – 3:27
"Shakin' All Over" (Johnny Kidd) – 4:24
Side two
"My Generation" – 14:47
"Magic Bus" – 7:50
Later expanded, then deluxe reissues get overwhelming, too much of a good thing, don’t bite off more than you can chew - 4/3 star
Not sure which album we are meant to be rating, I’m going with the original.

You want to hate it, but you can’t.
So crap it’s good.
Feels like a trip to the theatre and a day at a theme park at the same time. Unique, fast moving fun, surprisingly easy album to get through in one sitting.
It’ll soon be gone, gone, gone… and you had a great time.

Bongo Rock
Incredible Bongo Band
Why did the bongo player go to jail?
Because he couldn’t stop beating one out.
I like it… for a bit, but that is a very hard album to get through. Incredible amount of bongo.
A couple of 4 or possibly 5 star tracks on their own, but as an album as a whole, not great.
If I hear any more bongo this week, I think I’ll vomit.

Still confused by Zappa.
Am I wasting his time or is he wasting mine?!
Would he have been a court jester in another era?
I still manage to listen to his albums all the way through though.
Same for all Zappa albums for me.
Zappa, in another life choose great musician, not mediocre comedian/musician!
I suppose somebody had to inspire Weird Al, I hope that isn’t on this list.

Note to self:
1 star = Rated, but shouldn’t exist, a waste of studio time, imo
2 star = Not good
3 star = Ok/Good
4 star = Great
5 star = Desert island disc, there shouldn’t be too many of these!
Perfect album length for me around 40mins, if over an hour long it has to be a truly awesome album for me not to subtract a star.

I tried extremely hard to listen to this album without nostalgia creeping in, but difficult.
Truly is a great original album though, one that I seem able to listen to in its entirety any time it’s on barely skipping any tracks.
If you have hatred for Bono/U2 (…?), forget about that, and just listen.
Not quite a 5 though.
I think it will be 4.5 in my main app.
