Popular Reviews

Slayed? by Slade

Combination of old rock style and some of the grungier/punk-style rock. Very conversational British in the song titles. Very high energy, with mics peaking in several songs. Overall pretty enjoyable but some of the yelling/electric guitar wailing got to me. "Kill 'Em At the Hot Club Tonite" almost felt like an old western song from a bygone era. Creative.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Elvis Costello is definitely not my favorite — just doesn’t connect. Uninteresting harmonics, fair to poor vocals.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash

At a prison! Neat. It seems like a very important album for Johnny Cash and for the prisoners but it wasn't much to me. I didn't connect with the songs and the vocals left a lot to be desired in my opinion. 2 starts since Johnny Cash is classic, but not much of a Cash fan myself.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading

Incredible vocal tonality, with a bit of a pleading effect to it. Quiet and introspective and yet loud and bare. Didn't love every moment but listened multiple times and would play again.
