Popular Reviews

Transformer by Lou Reed

Lou Reed's most popular album. Has two hit songs on it. It was a pretty decent album, but I don't rate it that highly.

Plane listen. Has a hit song everyone knows and a bunch of different sounds that mesh well together. I enjoyed.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan

Ah yes, this has that one song I've heard a lot but keep forgetting the name (and the artist). It was alright for a synth pop album but not high for me compared to the other albums.

Kimono My House by Sparks

Weird because I was looking at this album a day before it was randomized to me. I was looking at the Edgar Wright documentary on this band and this is the album with their biggest hit. From the listen, did not fall in love with this band and found it a bit of a bore compared to the other albums in the book. There were a few highlights in there.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones

This was not good. Pretty poor debut album of the Stones playing American blues covers. Didn't sound good at all. Its only here because its the Rolling Stones' debut. It took some years for the Stones to make really great music.
