1/5

I respect EVH as a guitarist and Diamond Dave as a great rock n roll front man. But man I've never understood the fascination and lauding of this steaming pile of shit of a band. Michael Anthony can fuck right off as a bass player and a human. Alex is the product of a weird sibling nepotism. Cool! you can make your bass drum sound like a motorcycle for a minute before your brother comes in and rips that shine away from you once more. Fuck I hate this band...Jump is ok

This is the same to me as people that look at a couple of lines, squiggles and some paint thrown at a canvas and call it captivating art. I don't get it. I understand individually, anyone that can play an instrument even halfway decent, is an accomplishment unto itself. When those musicians get together and make free form jazz, it just sounds like noise. Personally, Miles oozed the cool and seemed like a polarizing figure. Musically though it just doesn't translate for me. I don't want to shit on it but it's just.......not good

Live / Dead

Grateful Dead

1/5

like many others I figured this was going to be a good time to sit down, dive in and actually listen to the Grateful Dead. I'm pretty sure all I had ever heard was "Touch of Grey" because of the music video. 5 minutes in and I already knew that this absolute assault on my auditory senses could quite possibly be the final push to send me over the edge into a rage I've always known was building up inside of me. If there were any living things near me including a puppy or a baby, they would have been punched directly in the face if it were the only way to stop this music. I love music. I love all types of music. From Norah Jones to Slayer. From Wu-Tang Clan to Paul Simon. I would so much rather listen to my dead grandparents having sex than listen to a single fucking note of this band. I hated every agonizing second of it. I am glad that I went through it though. I know now that my tolerance for bullshit has inched up ever so much. The next time I am ever in a life or death situation I'll know that there is nothing I can survive. Why? Because I have listened to an entire Grateful Dead album and didn't kill myself. Like a soft queef of patchouli right into my ear canal. Fuck this band and their god awful fans.

3/5

I struggled between giving this a 2 or a 3 (not that you give a shit) I hate Neil's high falsetto voice, its annoying. "Out on the Weekend" was decent This album is riddled with rhyme without a reason ie. all of "Heart of Gold" I can't believe that is one of his most popular songs, the lyrics are cheeks

barely made it through the first song. as soon as sledgehammer came on.....nope....can't do it. Man, there are no words to describe how much i hate that song.

Adele

3/5

I get why she is popular and why her top 10 songs on Spotify all have over a billion streams. Her voice is good for broadcasting the heartache she sings about on literally every song. There is more to life than love and loss. I never thought I could assimilate Adele to Iron Maiden but here goes... The power in here voice is limited to one note that while hits hard, is an assault on the ear after the third or fourth song. I didn't hate this album, but I would not seek a second listen.

Nina Simone

4/5

Always have heard the name but never sat and listened. Was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this. What an enigmatic and interesting vocal performance. There were times when I went to skip a song but I couldn't bring myself to do it. When I thought a song was not resonating with me, I still couldn't turn it off. Very captivating. Will be adding some Nina Simone to the record collection soon.
