Public Image: First Issue
Public Image Ltd.
Not a fan of the intro to this album. AnnaLisa was also a chaotic song with no direction. The guitar is fantastic of course but so is all the rock/prog instrumental in this late 70s era. And after listening to the outro this is a 4/10 album. Just donโt like the vocals and the themes. Thereโs no direction but the instrumental is pretty good

Let's Get It On

Despite the deserved hate this is a pretty good album. Consistent themes, great instrumentals and vocals. Some songs were ehhhh but others felt like Jeff Buckley. 7.5/10

Not their best album by a long shot. Frankly generic almost to the point of Disney-level corniness. Maybe I just donโt know enough rock/metal history to judge this albumโs place in time. Enter Sandman and The Unforgiven are my favorites from this one, but most of the rest sounds the same. 6.5/10

Enjoyed the progression of this album. Some parts were nothing special but they still contributed to the story. 8/10

Heartbreaker
Ryan Adams
Solid foundations and some good songs. The whole composition was boring however. Clearly his first album given the shaky vocals. 6.5/10

The Shamen
If geometry dash was a crappy game theyโd use this album for music. Just funky enough for a bland UK audience. This was an embarrassing listen in the daytime. Some of the tracks were alright, probably better on drugs. 3/10

Cool instrumentals but bland vocals. Some songs are unique and have energy but many were the same monotonous slur of words. 6.5/10

Coolio. Crack rock to pyramids is great. Still a lot of fluff in this one compared to Blonde. 8/10

Iโm a fan of all things Monk so this is not a subjective review. 9/10

Diamond Life
Sade
Never realized how good the sax is for this group. Sades voice is so smooth but some of the songs are poorly composed. Particularly the last one on this album was awful. 6.5/10

Can't Buy A Thrill
Steely Dan
Such a banger album. Each song works together but is also unique so it doesnโt feel repetitive. Only detraction is I donโt always like Fagens vocals. 9/10

Jeff Buckley
Biased review because I had already loved this album. The progression of emotion is perfect, his voice is unique and trained, the composition of each song is solid. Iโll admit thereโs a little filler. 9.5/10

Surprisingly short but no complaints. Beautiful voice from this era. The mixing was ok for a live album. 9/10

Idk why Morrissey started barking in the second to last song. Liked the general vibe but disliked the more experimental songs. 7/10

Just not my type of rock. Feels bland and corporate. โOneโ was pretty good. The instrumentals are just too flat overall. itโs like if Coldplay had bad production. 2/10

Being assigned this right after Ozzy died is wild. The birth of metal rock right here. Whole thing sounds like it was composed in a graveyard. 8/10
