War

2/5

U2’s *War* delivers raw energy and urgency, even if I’m not the biggest fan. “Sunday Bloody Sunday” stands out with its sharp political edge and fantastic drumming. While some tracks don’t fully grab me, the album shows flashes of greatness and a powerful rhythm section worth hearing.

Le Tigre

3/5

*Le Tigre’s* self-titled album is a lively mix of pop and punk energy. I didn’t mind it at all — some tracks are surprisingly catchy, with bold, fun beats and sharp attitude. It’s quirky, energetic, and definitely worth a listen.

Okay starts off kinda country dull slop. lyrics a bit descriptive. This just sounds a bit try hard. The vocals seem like an affectation. Overall its just dull.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

I only knew the big songs, but the full album showed me so much more—ideas are fresh, Left My Wallet in El Segundo is cool, and the whole thing flows with an ease that made me appreciate how confident Tribe already were on their debut.

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

2/5

I went in hoping for something that would surprise me, but Red Dirt Girl just didn’t land. I found it dull, full of familiar country tropes, and the storytelling was crap. Instead of feeling like I was on a country road, I mostly felt bored and disconnected. There must be a million better country albums than this?
