Sound of Silver
LCD Soundsystem
The album is full of creative grooves and playful production that shows real artistry. However, as the album progresses, some of these grooves overstay their welcome. What begins as fresh and engaging starts to feel repetitive, with a few songs dragging out longer than needed. Still, there’s enough single tracks for me to appreciate.

A Hard Day's Night
Beatles
As someone doesn't experience Beatles music in full album format, A Hard Day’s Night is a refreshing listen. It’s packed with familiar hits alongside a few lesser-known gems that deserve more attention. While it doesn’t come together as a cohesive concept album, each track overflows with the Beatles’ signature creativity and melodic brilliance. It’s a vibrant snapshot of a band hitting their early stride.

Didn't enjoy the listen. It's artful with great musicianship but his writing has a sort of goofy sitcom-opening-theme-song feel to them. The transition from Without You to Coconut is jarring.

Strangeways, Here We Come
The Smiths
Although the lyrics are dark and at times stinging the satire and Morrissey soft indie-pop crooning make for a sweet listen.
My standout tracks are:
Trk4 - Girlfriend in a coma
Trk5 - Stop me if you think...
Trk1 - A Rush and a Push and the Land is Ours
Trk8 - Paint a Vulgar Picture
Trk7 - Unhappy Birthday
Trk6 - Last Night I Dreamt Someone Love Me

Solid album. Southern rock without all tropes. Great story telling where the we the perspective is often "the other side".

You've Come a Long Way Baby
Fatboy Slim
Fun listen. Funky and catchy songs. The samples are a bit long and repetitive as you go through the album. It's a listen I prefer with individual songs.

This plays like a new wave greatest hits. Pretty solid all the way through expect for 1 track that is skippable in I'm In Touch With Your World.

couldn't get through it. Didn't like constant discordant strings, weak vocals and boring melodies.
