Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

I cannot begin to understand the effusive praise offered upon this mediocre band by the (mostly English) press. Something about The Smiths apparently prompts some irrepressible urge to hurl superlatives upon them. The book calls them "Manchester's finest sons." Marr "amaze[s] with his guitar palette" and Morrissey (sorry, Moz) shows "the first signs of real hurt in his words." Another review I found lauded the "quintessentially ‘Morrissey’ themes and blunt lyrics...presented over a suitably more muscular and athletic musical accompaniment." Lads, it's an arsehole moaning into a microphone while his slightly less shitty friend plugs away on some lackluster melodies that you forget as soon as you hear it. Give your heads a wobble. Wankers. Best track: Well I Wonder

Heroes by David Bowie
May 15 2025

5/10. Definitely not Bowies best. Weird vocals paired with odd songwriting. Instrumentals near the end were not needed or good at all, but a few good songs and an overall mid album.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band

8/10 Goat jam band. Rip Duane Allman

Smash by The Offspring

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel

0/10 I despised this. Only listenable songs were frankly Mr shankly and some girls are bigger than others

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
May 28 2025

No clue what genre this is but it’s fun

Atomizer by Big Black
May 29 2025
