Middle of the road, just a bit pathetic, really. Cock rock. Enjoyed reading people roasting it more than any of the songs, which could have almost been good if they'd knocked it off with the silly moaning and baby yeahs. Vapid.
Honestly a vibe, knew a couple songs already and had on one my like songs. Usually more into fake!80s than real!80s, but this is chill. Very listenable.
Took me a couple listens, possibly because grumpy, but have settled on this being fine with some addable songs. It's still a bit nothingy, even compared to other of their stuff that I like (The Chain, Dreams).
This was a weird one, because there were lots of bits here and there for me that I liked, but the sum of the parts didn't really land with me. I suspect it woulda been more impressive in its day. Some of it slaps, but in the end I added no songs because there were no whole songs I liked.
I don't really know how I could be grumpy about this, the Beastie Boys are just a lot of fun. They're not all winners, obviously, and it's not, like, peak Beastie, but I just kinda respect them for their sound, yknow? Distinctive, no apologies.
Already had two of these on my liked songs, cos Black Mirror and Black Wave / Bad Vibrations are bangers. I've seen a fair few of the public reviews saying they're pretentious. I don't care. Did I like the songs or nah? I did. So. Delicate, layered, but they've got a fantastic energy and voice. Plus, there's some French. Could listen to Black Mirror on repeat, honestly. Great stuff.
I dunno, man. This certainly is a rock album that happened.
Immediately after this album, it auto-played to a NIN song I actually ended up really liking, so, like, it's possible, but overall these were, to me, mostly toilet noises, plus a bad Johnny Cash cover (yes, I *know*).
There's some good stuff in the lyrics about the prison population, violence, white collar criminality, apartheid, that kinda thing, it's just that it's also in there with, and I am not kidding, "I didn't ask to be born", which just absolutely undercuts it all with the most teenagery wambulance shit. Realistically, I was never gonna like it, too noisy for me, but I'll stick to System of a Down. The album art is pretty sick tho.
Not heard of this before, but I like it! Mellow, but fairly interesting, a good mix of vibes, but just also very charming. Definitely some new songs to add here.
Fun! I kinda love old stuff like this, I like a bit of folk too. It occasionally veers into the dull, but generally it's fun and there's some real bops on here with a real sense of time and place.
Look, I love a dirge, but this is a buncha dirges. I prefer late Cohen where it sounds like he spent twenty years on a mountain surviving on cigarettes.
This is the Google Keep version of a poem you're working on in album form. Nice for background stuff. Wilmot is a bop.
You know, I wanted to hate this because that album cover is fucking atrocious, but it grew on me. I gave it a few listens and I think it would actually grow on me further.
You know what? I like it. Yes, Ok, this one I can tell IS a bit pretentious, but I don't care. It was fun to listen to, it was a chill time, a couple of bops.
Real misleading title, lads. Pleasant enough, though.
No good reviews for billionaires.
I like this a lot. It's not too Bowie a Bowie, though I do also like Bowie Bowie. Blackstar itself is incredible. Enjoyed this when it came out and still do now.
It's not my preferred Radiohead, but it's still good.
I sure did experience this album
Just full of Blondie bangers.
Honestly if you don't like this you probably don't like talent or artistry.
I really gotta hear this before I die?
Eh.
I already forgot this and it was this morning.
I don't even know what you're doing if Johnny Cash doesn't get five stars.
Honestly very listenable and enjoyable. A few bangers. Surprised me!
Actually quite liked a lot of this, but apparently Clapton is a wanker, so 1 star!
Listenable.
Eh.
This? This is your mighty Stones? God, I woulda died of boredom if I hadn't kept being enraged by the misogyny.
Good stuff! It's amazing how much better rock gets when you add, like, women.
Help Me, Rhonda is great and I quite like some Beach Boys, but overall this album was slightly weaker than I expected.
This certainly did occur.
Some good songs, but overall a little disappointing.
He sure do guitar.
Eh, they're no Flogging Molly.
Not my favourite version of You Don't Own Me (Lesley Gore), but obviously still a banger. Speaking of bangers, several here, my favourite new song being Summer is Over. Just great stuff.
Why did I need to listen to this?
Obviously excellent. Is it my favourite Simone? No, but what a voice.
Dull.
I don't really know what all the fuss is about?
Fine.
The parts that weren't wanky were good!
I do wish the tracks were shorter, but that's prog for you, eh. Obviously good, not sure if I'll save any cos they're long, but I liked it.
Really liked it.
Fun, but it did start all sounding kinda the same.
Just kinda nothing?
