Starts amazingly strong. Songs and skits banger after banger after banger. The second half’s drags a tiny bit and the homophobia and misogyny do not age well. Ending with criminal is a high note. Can’t give 5 because of the aging poorly. Would give 4.5 so have to go with 4. Just short of a masterpiece. First half is like 5.5 stars

Classic. One of the best ever.

Not really my jam. I get why people like this album. I like the piano and percussion. Too slow for me

Another classic. Any album with Sympathy for the Devil is going to be a minimum of 4 stars but Street Fighting Man and Salt of the Earth combined with other bluesy ruminations put it over the top

Disco faves. Nils Rogers always delivers. Some hooks carry through to today. Disco not really my thing and the slow jams aren’t either. Good for what it is.

Good background music. Could probably do work to it. Not much of a rave guy but can see the appeal

This is a cheat because it is another favorite. Great listen front to back including one of my all-time favorite songs, Warning Sign

Love the anger and cynicism. Takes on religion are still fair if simplistic. Dates but understand its value

Apparently I like Dire Straits. Great mellow listen front to back. sultans of Swing indeed.

Solid album. Bluesy guitars and drums. Southwestern feel. Didn’t mind it but not my style. Craftsmanship is very high

Another solid entry. I could see listening to this again

Never heard of these guys which is a shame because they are squarely in my wheelhouse. Fun listen and now I have to go check out their catalog. A real find for me. Thank you

Another new artist for me. Really digging the vibe. Perfect music for Sunday morning walk with my dog. Get me in the right mood. Will need to check his catalog out now too

Fine. Atmospheric. Again, I’m the wrong person to evaluate because it is not my genre. Unlike the last two, I probably will not dig deeper
