Listening to this is like listening to a good preacher's sermon. Even though you can tell they have the talent, it's super boring and a little part of you wants to die the whole time.

About 37 minutes longer than it needed to be. It just kept going.

Back In Black

AC/DC

Totally fine. Solid. Some classic sounds. You kind of get the point after about the 3rd song. It's not Ibsen

Vocals aren't my favorite, but not that bad. Pretty good for a late-aughts indie album. Reminds me my days living in war-torn Portland.

Apocalypse Dudes

Unapologetically a 5. This is brown. Humiliation Street absolutely rips.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

4/5

This album is definitely not "good", but it's the probably one of the most interesting things I've heard after 100 albums. Why the rating is lower than all these generic Britpop albums is beyond me.

2/5

I listened to this as I ran through a very generic new housing development. All the houses looked the same, and were some shade of grey. This album is the musical equivalent of that neighborhood.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

2/5

Pretty generic, probably a 3, but a few songs were mixed in a way that made me feel like my ears needed to pop. Maybe it was the remaster, but the music wasn't memorable enough to listen again and find out.
