If Boston by Boston had a UPS tracking number, it would show as DELIVERED. While the album is front heavy, even its lower tier songs on the backend were still strong.
Sebadoh inherits the post 80’s punk raw sound and energy into an ultimately polished, but directionless, album with no signature sound. Its greatest contribution is that it provides a kaleidoscopic lens into the experimental directions that rock would take in the decades to follow. Personal highlights tracks include: Soul and Fire, Emma Get Wild, and Flood.
This was a decent album but nothing spectacular. It’s The Clash being The Clash, which was the best part of the album, otherwise it didn’t impress.
I felt this album took me to a beautiful synth landscape. And although beautiful and mysterious, it wasn’t exactly an exciting place. Stand out track was Hollywood.
PJ Harvey’s songs on Rid of Me are a microcosm of the album itself. Each song tends to build before erupting into a fiery maelstrom, only to return back to its droning build around its acoustic caldera. The album, similarly, takes a turn half way through, only to return to its earlier roots. While I appreciated the Bob Dylan cover, this 90’s album will not be a repeat listen for me, even though it was enjoyable.
In a vacuum, this is a great album. However, in the context of Queen’s discography, this is average at best.
This album is like ordering a 30” supreme pizza. At first you’re like fuck yeah, this pizza is delicious, but then 2 slices in you realize 30” is too much pizza. Physical Graffiti is, in fact, too much pizza.
After the first song I was pumped. That was the only pump I got. Boring.
They should call these guys the white keys
This is just noise
Rush always delivers. While not as technical as some of their other albums, I still enjoyed all the tracks.
This album rocks so hard it makes me want to get a Kurt Cobain on the roof of my mouth.
A staple of Brazilian music. It’s a whole vibe, and I’m down for it.
Bob Dylan from a more accessible time line. But not as good. Still good though.
