Didn't know what to expect but okayyy! Might get tired of this eventually. 2 songs done, has some interesting ideas but they really just repeat themselves without leading to something more interesting? "Porcelain"'s nice. Real nice. Reminds me of a certain track. Can't put my finger on which one. It's "Holding On" by Tirzah! Not that similar but yeah. "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad" is an interesting case, as it repeats the same pattern from the first two tracks but manages to keep my interest. "South Side" starts very interesting. Reminiscent of some tracks from the second side of Talking Heads' "Remain In Light". Sitting pretty at third place for now. next track is nice. "Natural Blues" is interesting but I don't think I will ever have an interest in hearing it again, although the same can be said about this album as a whole. Machete is cool. Some LCD Soundsystem before it, and kinda less douch-y. Like "Run On". These tracks are really just happening without leaving a single mark on me. I feel like this second half could really benefit from some re-listens. It's much more subtle and tranquil. Almost like ambient music. Really nice actually. Really like "The Sky Is Broken". This last track is really pretty. Overall, I do think the album is a tad too long (even if, at the same time, it doesn't necessarily feel like it lasts one entire hour). Some tracks could have been shorter. Some could have been cut. It was still an interesting experience. Got some worthwhile songs out of it. My main grip with the album is its repetitiveness. It feels like the same formula is applied time after time, with some not that stellar results. From the very first song, my interest was peaked and then lost. Some great elements are brought up, without any actual interesting developments. Again, the second half definately left a better mark. The slower, more subtle songs might actually be the record's best. Might revisit it just for them. Overall, worth the experience. At first listen, it's a 6/10.

Damn I love that first track. Oh I'm gonna like this alright. That 3 minute instrumental outro? Yes please. Higher's great. I'm loving this. Sex machine was... wow. That ending's a tease. This last track is so good... Definitely a better overall experience... at first listen I'd day it's a very strong 8 with potencial for much much more. Loved it

Title track is fun and young love u David. He really went all out on the vocals. And the Beatles references? Okaaayyyyy The second track gets more into the whole "plastic soul" thing. like it love fascination enjoy right. can see it growing on me with some listens somebody up there's good i've been noticing that most of these tracks range from fine to good at the beggining but go off at the end and become great. loved the ending of somebody oh right the mandatory bowie cover that he included once per album in the 70's. the original is better. and fiona apples's version is even better. he gives the same "going-off-at-the-end" performance here but it doesn't it the same. okay cut, but a skip can you hear me is a fine track. don't have an urge to hear it again tho. good performances tho. might grow on me with more listens I already knew fame before i listened, and it's definately with of the betterr tracks here. overall, this is a pretty good listen. the weakest spot is across the universe, but the rest of the album makes up for it. a very interesting step off the expected path for Bowie, and if this is what he had to do before making the genius that is Station to Station, then I'll gladly take it.

first artist that i've never even heard of. let's see. oh okkkkkk i like these instrumentals but i feel like something's missing. i don't know. it's very blues, which is not a style of music i'm a huge fan of. I like "mo'onions"! prefer the beatles version, but it's nice to know where it came from! this is just really not my thing haha. glad other people enjoy it though! overall, this was really not my cup of tea. at a certain point it became a slough to get through. but i do understand and admit that blues is just not my style of music. there's nothing necessarily wrong here, it just doesn't speak to me at all. and my rating reflects that.

First time ever seriously listening to Bob Marley let's goooooo liked the first song i can't take "no woman no cry" seriously after years of hearing it in the dumbest contexts but it is a good song do I'll try to enjoy it as such i liked the third track but i do feel like i'll like it better with more listens rebel music's great but maybe too long some of these later songs do blend into each other "bend down low" was fun "revolution" is also a stand-out overall, this is a really good album, it just requires a very specific mood, one that i'm not really in at the moment. might revisit it some other time though, now thta i know what to expect.

this is a group that i'ev been hearing about since forever, i just never got around to checking them out. guess this is the time, i'm kinda hyped. ok right away i like this haha. good to know what inspired the lemon twigs lol. monday monday is heavenly damn. straight shooter is fun but might feel like more of the same but less good? the third track is sooo soothing and sooo pretty i call your name considered best song ever? chances are higher than you might think do you wanna dance nice little moment, lovely go where you wanna go just went the fuck off, i'm liking everything so far damn here comes the most famous song on the album... it's good, but not necessarily that much better than everything that's come before? at least not enough to justify the streaming differences. spanish harlem makes me shake my head ever so slightly. lovely. soomething groovy, despite being made of the exact same ingredients as the previous tracks, doesn't do much for me the last few tracks, while maybe smaller in scale than what came before, still hit just the same. the in crowd is a bit of a weird ending spot. not at all a bad song, just a weird one to close things up. overall, this may just be my favourite record so far. it's just all good vibes and heavenly harmonies. one word to sup it up is: lovely. definaetly worth the listen!

This is a very different beast from every record so far. Trip-hop rap. I feel more prepared for this than for some of the previous records, but not necessarily my comfort zone. intro is kinda wild but looking at the track names i'm not shocked first track is interesting, but not too out there, which i was expecting i'm feeling kinda the same thing as with moby's play. there are a lot of elements here that are interesting, but not too much that excites me. the chorus of earth people is really just not hitting. im starting to think some of these albums are historic and experimental for the time, but don't really hold up with the changing of the times. but hey, it's only been two tracks no awareness is the best track so far. still not blown away though. real raw is better too! i might have judged this too quickly. what are these interludes though, im curious about that blue flowers is great everything after that... what is with the sexual shit? like i dont care about sex in songs at all, but a visit to the gynecologyst? what the fuck man bear witness is kinda boring dr octagon is so edgy wow he's rapping about sex guys did you hear that? wow all those dated references, but get this, they're twisted!! oh my god i don't know, maybe all this was revolutionary at the time, but nowadays i can really to what makes this record interesting (some of the samples and instrumentals) but with better lyrics and production and with an actual interesting development. that being said girl let me touch you is one of the better tracks here man i get that you're horny and all but why all the panties mentions. and most of all, why have i heard a variation of "poo-poo" at least 4 times. once was too much. i'm destructive is fine next track is fine too. one of the better ones. i take it back actually. goes nowhere after 4 minutes. halfsharkalligatorhalfman was my last hope for this thing... i'm just waiting for it all to end at this point the random blue flowers revisit is a highlight in this dark and hopeless half end. makes me want to be less mean on my rating. but then i remember that dumbass roleplaying and i get mad all over again. also the revisit is not near as good as the original, why does it exist? waiting list is another one that has potential but why is it 5 minutes of the same samples and not so interesting lyrics? again, this shit just goes nowhere. god i'm relieved to reach the last track and finish this shit. can't wait to listen to anything else after this overall, this is probably the album i've enjoyed the least so far. there is a lot of potential here, but it just gets wasted on songs that go nowhere interesting and have shitty lyrics. i'm sure i missed a lot of smart lyrics, and a lot of good themes (less sure about that), but most of what i did catch was just a sorry attempt at being edgy. and even what there is of interest here was accomplished in much better ways by other records. i'm unsure about what rating to give here - my heart is saying 1 but my mind is saying 2. i'm hesitant to give it a 1 because there is something valuable here, and i did enjoy a few tracks. but as i'm writing this i just heard about bees flying around a rectum and i'm just..... so tired of all this.... when will it end..... maybe i'll give it a 2 for the few bright moments it has. but then again, a 1 is also available for a reason. and the many moments i didn't like (and downright hated) do outweight the few i liked... i'll think about it. i'll probably never listen to this again. even more, if i ever meet someone who says they like this album, i'll probably judge them for it. bye

i have heard loveless, wasn't really my thing, shoegaze rarely is so..... let's see she found now is ok, i like it, soothing, just maybe not my thing i really just don't like loud guitar noises im sorry shoegaze fans i hate you all i hope you're happy with this music but i am definately not someone release from the guitar hell that is only tomorrow pleaseeeeeeee man i'm not having fun right now. this is just not my thing. and what do you mean it's only the third track dude what fourth track's ok. im just numb to this at this point i can see why someone would like new you. kinda reminded me of cocteau twins why does in another way sound like that :( . i feel like this is the heavy brach of the genre. this song is to shoegaze what heavy metal is to metal. yes? and nothing is is to shoegaze what thrash metal is to metal. i actually kinda like this, but i would like it more if it wasn't three minutes of literally the same sounds over and over and over again final track. can't wait to finish this honestly. the end is interesting. space sounds. overall, just really not my thing. i was kinda hoping that listening to this would change my mind on shoegaze as a whole, like something would click. but no. everything's the same. this is really just not for me. which reminds me, i feel kinda bad giving this a low rating just because i don't connect to it. i think bad ratings should be for things that i find bad. i don't find this to be bad necessarily. just not for me. the second half seems more experimental so that is interesting. i can see how someone might like this but hey, for the 20th time, i am not that person. bye.

I do like the Velvet Underground and some John Cale so this should be a pleasent experience. I hope. Haven't been so lucky here lately. first song was good enough second song is ok. weird chorus though. sadly for me this is sort of going by without leaving much of a mark. Andalucia is the best track so far macbeth is actually pretty interesting. they were clearly not as interested in making the song sound "refined". the whole song sounds like a take that made the final cut. probably my favourite so far. title track is good, and i can see why people like it. love the violin or whatever it is. but i just don't connect with it. i don't know yeah, i'm not loving this :( antarctica starts here might be one of the best moments here, but still not enough for me. this album is not bad. i just don't enjoy it. which does sadden me. i can see that some of the things done here might have been new for the time (1973 was a while back). or maybe i'm just not getting something at first listen. but this really just didn't impress me in any way. bye

I've never listened to a White Stripes record, let's seeeee damn, great way to start a record, second track's a lot of fun, liking this third track's good too! a different mood is welcome. the lyrics are... interesting, but I'll overlook it for now fell in love with a girl is the definition of a banger damn that was fun i can feel my tinnitus getting worse and worse though expecting was fine. first dud little room was fine? i liked it but it's almost like an interlude union forever is a good heartreak song, go off we're going to be friends is sweet. sweeter than i ever thought this album could be offend in any way is a dud too. i think i smell a rat is ok. not much else to say track after that is kinda bad in my opinion i can't wait is another fine song. some of these i just don't see myself coming back to. now mary is the best of the last few tracks these last two tracks are a weird spot to end on. there's no feeling of finality this album was a fun! i do have to say though, it started great but lost steam towards the end. some great highlights here, but also some forgettable picks. worth the listen.

why are you making me listen to Green Day in the year of our Lord 2025... on the day a new pope was chosen too..... i saw the number of tracks and was so excited, but what do you mean they're all 15 minutes long i didn't know they said the f-word in the title track oh wow yeah the song american idiot is good, i knew of it obviously, but i don't have that many thoughts about it, it's one of those songs that's been in my life for too long for me to listen to it critically. but hey, love anything that criticizes the US so go off jesus of suburbia sure is an interesting title. i gotta say though, i know it's still only the second track, but i'm already getting kinda tired of the guitars just... being there sounding the same the whole way through. and yes, i know, it's a punk record. the lyrics are interesting, but very straight-foward. nothing necessarily wrong about that, and this is a punk record after all, but still. ok the song just started going the fuck off at around the three minute mark, this is great. this feels like a transition to a completely different track, interesting that they decided to keep them together. not them say the r-word haha ok this really is the 2000's. ok, I liked this, but i do wish this song was like three or four different songs, because i liked certain parts more than others. and no, this isn't my first case of multiple tracks in one, and yes, i do always hate it. i knew green day was very political, and i am sort of familiar with their recent controversies. that being said, i am liking the themes here (not that we've had anything that hard to disagree with yet). see why is boulevard of broken dreams in the same track as holiday. i know there's a version of it alone, but still. but yeah, that's a classic. are we the waiting is the first song that i don't really enjoy. let's see the second half though. sidebar real quick, i think some of the problems that i have with this album so far really boil down to the vocal performance. it's not bad, but that's kind of the problem. his voice is too ""good"" for a punk record? and that's not at all an insult to the genre. but i do associate it with raw, imperfect vocals. shouting around words. but maybe that's just me being ignorant and close-minded. maybe i shouldn't base all my expectations for punk music on the clash and the sex pistols. oh well, i still think that i would enjoy these tracks more if the voice was different. yeah st. jimmy is much better that the first half. why is it joined together, that's so damn annoying. i actually like when they go for a softer rock sound like the start of give me novacaine (also present in boulevard). yeah this song's nice! i also like that it gets progressively louder. and yet again, i hate the fact that these two tracks are joined together. because while i don't dislike she's a rebel, i like give me novacaine so much more the first 40 seconds of extraordinary girl are the most intrigued i've been this whole album, but then the song does a 180 and it's just another song with the same sound (getting kindaaa tired of that). again, this isn't bad, but it doesn't stand out from the rest of the album at all. it's less impressive. i don't know, maybe the lyrics could be seen as appealing. sorry i paused this to listen to a shitty stand-up clip my friend sent me, my god, that made me more excited to get back to this. ok a self-hatred anthem, wasn't expecting that. i like letterbomb better than extraordinary girl but neither one blows me away oh another classic, i gotta respect them for this, wake me up when september ends was my childhood. but again, i'm incapable of thinking critically about it. i'll be honest, i don't think i was made to listen to a punk record that's this long. i'm getting pretty tired of the loudddd guitars. homecoming isn't really an exciting track either, so yeah, kinda waiting it ends. and my opinion didn't change much throughout the track, even though it did change a lot over the 9 minutes. whasername is an interesting closing track. one of the quietest (or better said, not-as-loud) tracks, at least at the start, more reflective, less political, but it still feels like it belongs here. like it. this is another album that was historical for its time, and green day's heyday is definatelly deserved, but some of the themes here are just not as revolutionary today. and i guess that's inevitable. when you make a piece of art that is as political as this album, it's only natural that, when more and more time passes, audiences relate to it less and less. however, it is also true that we can relate to political pieces of different times by learning more about their context. and maybe i'm just not that informed on all the specific contexts that inspired this release. and i'll own that that's my fault. so, to make an actual in-depth review, i'd have to do some research about that. but for now, as a first listen review, this will do. a lot of songs here are good. none are bad. some blend together and are less memorable than others. but overall, i'd say this is a good project! this is another case where the rating system here bothers me, as this album feels too good to be a 3 but maybe not good enough to be a 4? i'll probably end up giving it a 4 but yeah, not the strongest one. my biggest complaints here aren't really about the album specifically, but more directed towards the genre as a whole, which i do enjoy, but in small doses. however, i do think the album could use some more variety in sound. not much here surprised me, as my hears were always getting assaulted by the loud loud loud guitars (the drums too, to a lesser extent). another thing i disliked, as i've mentioned plenty of times at this point, is the joining together of different songs. i'm sure the band had a reason for it, but it's just annoying. there are also a lot of positives, but sometimes it's easier to write about things you don't like. my favourite parts of the album were the ones where the band went off script a bit, like the second part of jesus of suburbia or some of the singles. so, as it stands, there are some stand-outs, and some forgettable moments. but it's good. worth a listen. bye

Never heard of this, let's go. First few seconds sound like what I would expect from the band's visuals. Really like this first song so far! I have no idea what they're saying but yey!! Again, with this second track it's really hard to tell what the hell he's singing about but damn do i love the instrumental. back at the farm is so much fun holy shit i was not expecting this! i thought this album would be a nice folk experience, this has surpassed all expectations. don't know what genre this would be though, psychedelic indie? it does remind me of the few grateful dead record i've heard so hey, good stuff. i'm having so much fun damn. right now the record's 3/3 and this next track is by far the most streamed so i'm feeling very excited! okkkkkkk. this was a complete mood change. street joy is good, and i'm sure i'll like it more once i read the lyrics. for now, i enjoyed it, but i do prefer the sound of those first three tracks. and the first few seconds of anvil everything tell me we're right back! i don't know what to say, i'm just really enjoying this. like seriously, this thing's rhythm is so much fun. and it really feels like watching a live jam session, so electrifying i have nothing to say about river to consider that i haven't said here before. i'm just really loving this. drugs is fun and enjoyable but maybe another one i'm not too in love with. for now. why have i not heard of this band. and in what ways should i change my life so that i do start hearing about more shit that sounds like this? yeah bess st. rocks is and is and is and is and is and is and is and is and is is amazing. possibly my favourite. which is saying something. the repitition. the vocal delivery. the build-ups. damn last track. this flew by. this one's nicer. the instrumental is still always there, always present, but it does feel quieter than previous tracks. sounds sweet. i just see a straw hat and a smile. lovely. this album was very different from what i expected. i had so much fun, my body just moved on its own. i really just don't have a lot to say. loved this. 5 stars. bye

Ice Cube is one of those people that I've always been aware of but have never gotten into. I know he's said to have some great hip-hop records, but don't know what else to expect. The contrast of title of the first track and its context already shows what will maybe be a constant theme. The lyrics probably won't be a big part of this initial review as I can't tell what they say that well. That being said When Will They Shoot is already amazing. I have no idea what that sample is but fuck is it good. The interlude shows what is probably the main point of the album and yeah. Not too much has changed. Again, Wicked's sample is so cool. And I do like the track as a whole. Elphaba and Glinda sound so different (that was stupid I regret it). Now I Gotta Wet'cha kinda came and went without leaving a mark. The title track is actually pretty cool. But these samples, while still great, are starting to sound too similar. It Was A Good Day is by far the most streamed song, and I get why. This is a sudden change from the more "aggressive" instrumentals that came before. This is nice. Ok that sex description was unexpected but kinda original so I'm not mad at it. HE SAID FAGGOTTTTTTTT. song bangs. Fuck'em oh ok The instrumentals in this record stop me from ever being bored, but the rap is often not enough to peak my interest. Maybe because I don't fully understand what he's saying at a first listen. After all, as far as I can tell, Ice Cube's delivery is great. That being said I actually like Don't Trust'Em, even if I don't love what I can tell from the lyrics. Ice Cube's storytelling is impressive, even if I'm not following every lyric. Was not expecting a smurfette reference from this record but hey. Check Yo Self is, unsurprisingly, a banger. My country was just mentioned as a comparison for a racist country yeyyyyy. Don't disagree though. While I did enjoy this album, I can't help but feel like I'm missing something. Maybe if I was a bigger rap fan I'd enjoy it even more. That seems to be true of every genre, so why not here. I do think that, with more time, this could get better and better for me. As I said earlier, I'm not in the best circumstances to interpret the lyrics with the depth that they deserve, and since that's a major part of the record I can't claim that this is the best of reviews. So yeah, this one's on me. Bye

I've heard of Steely Dan but never actually listened to anything so I have no clue what to expect. Let's goooooo. oh okkkkkk. oh this is lovely. yeah i don't have much to say about that first track, i just really enjoyed it. quite a mood-setter. title track was maybe not as captivating, but this is still damn good. i definately see deacon blues growing on me with more listens. right now i like it, but i see potential there. why do i like it more the longer it goes. this is lovely. Peg kind of came and went. still good and fun, just not that exciting. ooohhhh home at last is such a jam, definately one of my favourites. i got the news was nice too, a lovely tune. i do like the way the album kind of changes moods halfway through. still the same base, but the first half seems more, I don't know, melancolic? i fucking love josie, i did not expect the most danceable song to be the last one, but what a way to go out. overall, this was a great experience. one of the most enjoyable so far. i didn't dislike any tracks, and the ones that i didn't outright love i can see myself getting there with time. i'd say it's like an 8 out of 10, which translates to a very secure 4. yeyy. bye
