Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
The Flaming Lips
- Overall positive message. Pop, but with and edge. Reflective
- Layered nature of the music. Over punched drums.
- Traditional rock instrumentation in the back, but layered digital, instumentation. Orchestral. Guitar. Bits of live crowd edited in. Almost feels random but works.
- Lyrics, really unique. How did they come up with the concept? LSD?
- 'Blown out' drums really central to album.
Overall enjoyable. Really toes the line between chaos and pop rock. The subject matter and obscurity of some of the music puts it into enough of art category to not feel contrived, but still positive and within popular music.

Bringing It All Back Home
Bob Dylan
Jangling. Rocky. A big belligerent? Some of my favorite American rock and folk songs. It feels like you can hear a cigarette hanging from his mouth has he signs and plays guitar. Rolling Stones. Lots of tambourine. It's All Over Now is probably my favorite on the album. The bass that intertwines with the acoustic guitar.. the mood and feeling it reflects. The resolve from moments of tension.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)
The Kinks
I like it. It's good and fun. However, not grabbing the same way the others have. Ya, just don't love it.

Every Picture Tells A Story
Rod Stewart
Really enjoyed this one. Definitely classic classic rock - stones. But had enough flavor and soul to separate it for me.
