3/5 Interesting slice of life that takes you to the NY EDM dance scene of the late 90s. Very reminiscent of fat boy slim and chemical brothers. It makes for bice background music but it's not going to be something that is the sole focus of my attention
5/5 Banger of an album! On my top 50 of all time. It's got some real head bangers.
Great album, a ton of songs I was already familiar with but didnt know who it was. "You've got a friend" and "Natural Woman". It's a good album to listen to with the family, seems like lots of generations could appreciate it.
4/5 I really like the song disorder, and reminds me a lot of the songs I love from New Order. Definitely a staple of New Wave and I'm glad these guys blazed a path that so many others followed. I think the overall gloominess of many of the songs makes it hard for me to give it a 5 but the more uptempo songs are really enjoyable for me.
2/5 Not my kind of music but I understand that this is important in the history of rap. I was surprised by how many of the songs I recognized.
3.5/5 Really liked Into the Light. A cool goth, new wave band that I'll have to listen more to.
Fun underground hip hop from the days of High School!
2/5 Yuck!
5/5 Sure, the lyrics are haunting and deeply depressing, but this album slaps! Would and Rooster would be enough to make this a masterpiece. But wait, here comes Them Bones, Down in a hole, and Angry chair to pile on even more glorious grunge ear-spank. RIP Layne!
4/5 This album is pretty ahead of it's time. You can see how it influenced bands like Joy division and the Cure but took a more uplifting and jazzy approach with the songs. Lots of simple guitar chords layered with melodic guitar lines on top. The song Marquee Moon slaps and is an epic 10 minute journey.
3.25 / 5 While I prefer Back in Black, I think this album has some great jams and the guitar work is always fun to listen to. I think you could play this at a summer party with old dudes (myself included) and it would probably be a safe bet that people would enjoy it.
4.75/5 This album rocks!! This has the quality of a studio album, if you didnt hear the crowd you wouldn't know it was live. There were so many great guitar solos and an epic drum solo on Sha-la-la favorite tracks: Sha-la-la, Johnny the Fox This was the kind of album I hoped I'd discover on this journey
1/5 This is a true stinker. Very hard to listen to with the drums way too heavy in the mix and the incessant and incomprehensible screaming. I'm glad this was short. Best Song: You Suffer (because it was only 4 seconds long) Hopefully I never have to listen to this again
4/5 What a legend! RIP Ozzy! 3 of the first 4 songs on this album are legendary - War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron Man. These guys blazed the path for metal music, and for that Im eternal grateful! Favorite song - Paranoid
3/5 Young Dolly is definitely more on the country side that she will be with future songs like 9 to 5. But she still shows off her singing chops and the songs are pleasant to listen to if a bit sacharine. Favorite track: Coat of Many Colors
3/5 I'll totally play this next time I'm a teenager and my boyfriend breaks up with me favorite song: Loveless
3.4 / 5 Some days you just want some upbeat rhymes and that's exactly what this delivers. No crips or bloods, just some homies reminiscing on losing their wallet in El Segundo; where they learned it's not about the destination, but the raps you made along the way. Fave Songs: Bonita Applebaum and Can I Kick it
3/5 It's a quirky and unique album, and it feels like the kind of album I should like more, but it just didn't hook me. Fave song: Monkey gone to Heaven
2.3 / 5 The fastest way to end a union strike is to make the picketers listen to this album. The instrumentals were good but his voice and the non stop on-the-nose politics were too much
3.75 / 5 A pretty good album overall. I love me some bluesy guitar licks
5/5 A banger for the ages! RIP Jimi!
4/5 Pour yourself a Manhattan, light up a stogie, and let Duke take you back to a time of Jazzy babies and cool cats. Father O'Connor could have used way less stage time, just hand it over to Duke and the boys, they've got it from here. Fave Song: Newport Up
