This album doesn't really have any musical issues but it's so long and frankly overwrought and boring. I tried but I knew in my heart- The Who stinks

Solid 80s record. Some hits but nothing mind blowing.

This album doesn't really have any musical issues but it's so long and frankly overwrought and boring. I tried but I knew in my heart- The Who stinks

Perfectly fine album. Although anything sounds better after Tommy

Parts of it I wanted to like and a couple songs were ok but I think there's better yacht rock

Booo. I hate this record and always have and will. It gets 2 stars bc of the musical legacy.

A lot of standards and classics- great swing/big band feel. Well done if not a bit too long/repetitive but an absolute legend at the top of his game.

Stephen Malkmus is great but I just don't really get Pavement. Like they make decent indie music but there's better versions of everything they do. I guess Pavement walked so everyone else could run?

A strange album, I think I liked parts of it but then others were Bowie doing too much.

Solid.

A treasure and an icon. There's some real bangers on this album but it does tend to get repetitive after awhile.

Great album. Some obscure spooky tracks I really loved.

Perfect. No notes.

It was a fine album. UK rock/folk with a bit of a punk edge. Totally inoffensive but not super compelling.

Perfect. No notes

No review needed.

I always liked Boston, definitely their best album as everything else just kinda builds on this framework. This album is just nothing but hits. Great summer record.

Two absolute legends at the top of their game. Just an A+ jazz record.

Ok so I expected far worse. It's not offensive, just pretty bland and repetitive folk.

Dr. John is an absolute legend. This isn't my favorite of his but a wild exploration of some spooky and weird music. Walking on guilded splinters and the title track are top notch but the rest fails to really meet those highs. A fun record to throw on in the background for a Halloween party.

I didn't hate it, pretty non-offensive but also kinda boring reggae/reggaeton faire.

Solid R&B record

Great Mali/West-African blues rock.

What a nutty record. There's some amazing highs and then some terrible lows. I really like Can and experimental music generally but some of the stuff in the latter half of this record just does not work. But the good is great.
