Rough start to this list since I generally don't like U2.

-Blue in Green: *turns up collar of trench coat, lights cigarette, and walks out into the seedy streets of 1930s New York*

-Get it Together isn’t so bad, but I think it’s because someone else is on the track.

I like the music on some of these tracks, but I can’t handle the vocals. This album ain’t for me. 2.5 Stars

I like the mix of flute/folk style with classic rock. Not something I’d normally listen to, but it probably does deserve another listen at some point. - 3.5 Stars

Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
This album feels a little bit like a bait and switch. Gimme Shelter goes so hard, then it’s just kind of ok for the majority of the album, and then it picks back up at the end with You Can’t Always Get What You Want. Maybe I’d appreciate it more with another listen. 3.5 Stars

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Not overly optimistic on my chances of liking this album, but I will listen nonetheless.
-not the screaming…
-not a huge fan of the vocals, but I do like the music
-love all of me and chicken dog aren’t so bad
-the vocals are either improving or growing on me
- they’re losing me again
-Why is this thing so long?? I thought i was nearing the end and i’m only halfway through?
-it would seem i was listening to bonus tracks? Idk.
This wasn’t great. 1.5 stars

I find it difficult to rate albums like this, when they are so clearly inspired by and/or emulating another band, in this case The Beatles. And while it’s not bad, I am more likely to just listen to the Beatles instead of this. Some of the songs do break from the Beatles mold a bit and have a generic classic rock sound, but there-in lies another problem, it’s just generic rock. All and all this isn’t a bad album, it’s just not good enough to stand on its own.
