Hard Again

Muddy Waters

2/5

Eh, old blues aren't for me. The album songs started to blend and sound the same. The harmonica melody and the beat got very repetitive

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Reggae slowly grew on me, though the majority of the songs blend together with how similar they sound.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

I dig the grooviness of the tunes, I would give it a 3.7 which rounds to a 4. Best album so far.

The Köln Concert

Fine piano concert, can't fully appreciate purely instrumental right now. Lose focus too easily and less for me to get hooked on compared to regular music.

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Punk rock is similar to some of the harder rock songs I like, from band-maid per se. Vocals are eh.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

Old time folk, it's ... Okay. Chill doesn't really describe it, rather it gets boring to listen to. 2

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

I am very conflicted about this artist. Instrumentals can be very catchy, but the vocals are so grating to my ears. One song was worth repeating, the rest I can't. 2

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

Okay, album, dancing queen is cool. 2.7

Metallica

3/5

Metal music is cool, but Metallica in this album focuses so much on power chords, it's like they're brute forcing everything. I prefer more riffs and melodic phrases with the heavier driving force in metal/ heavy rock. 2.6

Crazysexycool

TLC

3/5

Good vibes, did not appreciate the overly sexual songs. 2.5

Quiet Life

Japan

1/5

Still don't like British rock, and I'm a little offended that a group called Japan sounds nothing like japanese music. At least have some songs sound like city pop 💀 1

1/5

Cacophony of hard sounds, too experimental. 1

3/5

Nice rock vibes 3

...And Justice For All

Horses

Patti Smith

1/5

全然合わない。 1

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
