I could’ve just put on any other Beatles album that I fw, or played the Beach Boys greatest hits and gotten more out of that experience. Not bad, but I don’t think I had to listen to this to really get much out of it. *Spanish Harlem kind of slaps

There are some classics on here for sure. I’ve never heard the album in full, but appreciate learning that their first release is maybe the most gritty I’ve ever heard Foo Fighters sound. Songs like Weenie Beenie still go hard. The guitar on this album is just a straight wall of sound. I can see how this is an important album, especially since it’s one of those projects where it’s literally a one man band situation. There are some guitar parts on this album that just sound fun to play. I’m not too high on the album as a whole, but it’s a fun listen and definetly worth listening to once and I appreciate it for what it is

I can appreciate the array of guitar/electronic sound effects and accenting throughout the album. I see myself enjoying this experience more if I was playing Skate and it come on as I was yeeting myself of of building and doing endless kickflips into the sun. It also reminds me of ITunes advertisement music at times. I did not know this band made the “Wait✋, they don’t love you like I love you🕺.” That was probably my favorite song on the project. Aside from those notes. It doesn’t do much for me, nor do the eccentric hooting and hollering done on some of the tracks. Three Groaning Oofs🗣️/5

I’m not yearning, you are! 🫵😭 I enjoyed this project more than I thought I would. I enjoyed the old country vibe about a man whose wishes he could be with the one he loves, but she is taken by another. I really felt dudes pain. The production sounded great for something recorded in the early 70s. But I am unaware of the version I listened to on streaming was remastered in any sort of way. My only negative critique is that it was slightly jarring to go through the whole project and hear about this man’s love life, mostly in a somber and romantic way. But the last song is a lot more up beat and damning in regard to those who obsess over the private lives of famous individuals. Just strange note to end the album on. Maybe near the end of the project this guy was found to be having an affair with the woman he talked about in the album??

Does nothing for me. But I appreciate her game. I’ll await her return in November when everyone starts celebrating Christmas way to early.

My 🐐Michael. One of the greatest to ever do it and this one proves it. Wanna Be Starting Something gotta be one of the best opening tracks ever recorded, a five minute journey, when “mamase mamasa mamakusa” is chanted I become that one werewolf meme. And don’t get me started on how fucking good Thriller is.. Human Nature to this day is still Sampled with so many beautiful and elating sections. Most if not all these songs have transcended beyond the album and each song stand on its own as the best song on any other of his contemporaries albums. The production on this album is great, everyone involved is in there bag. It’s not just Michael, its even the collaborators like Eddie Van Halen on Beat It and Paul McCartney on The Girl is Mine, and Alvin from the Chipmunks on PYT. One of the greatest albums ever made for sure.

It was giving Led Zepplin vibes with all that hooting and hollering in the first track. Apparently the album was not filmed live but recorded in a manner where they made crowd sounds to make it sound like it was. Very interesting tech for an album from this time. I think Janis Joplin has a unique voice, and I do enjoy that style of singing. The production is also pretty cool, the instruments sound good, and again I appreciate the “fake” crowd sounds. I appreciate it for what it is but don’t see myself listening to this again.

When Numbers Get Serious had me scared for a bit. There were some bits where I thought horns were going to come in and I was going to have to listen to a Ska song. Not bad at all. Just not my cup of tea.

3.5, the offspring typically aren’t my thing since I usually don’t like the vocals on some of their other work. But this one had some hits. Another Tony Hawk Pro Skater fuel album for sure. The 3 minutes of silence uninterrupted till the band comes back in the last track I can imagine having a very fun chuckle with if I was listening to this back in the 90s on my CD player, unfortunately now I just scrubbed through the song time line to figure out why there was multiple minutes of silence.

This one doesn’t stick out much more than Jimi’s other work, and I haven’t done the research to learn more about the album. But let me give Jimi his flowers (as one should) he is one of the defining voices in the world of guitar players. I remember when I first started learning to play the guitar, his playing was one of the first instances where I realized you can’t just play a part. You have to FEEL IT, and Jimi is a guitar player that regardless of what he’s playing you’re feeling every note. He still deserves his spot on the Mt Rushmore of guitar player imo.

Don’t have much time to listen to them. There were a few bangers. I appreciate being able to notice the one single that popped off on some of these albums. But seemed like the standard disco fair for the most part. I’m sure someone fucks heavy with jt

Visions of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard on here. I’m sure this did a number in the 60s for someone’s grandma and grandpa, and I respect that. Today was a vibe, and some guitar sections like the ones in DCBA25 are pretty good. It also appears this came out the same year as Sgt Peppers by The Beatles, so these guys were smoking the same stuff it seems.. Holy moley, these are the White Rabbit people. But this one had a lot more stuff that rolled over me then really hit home. Maybe cuz I’m not in the psychedelic, surf rock mood today.

BOOOOOORRIIIINNNNNG. I like shoegaze but this didn’t do it for me. It sounds like something I would like but the execution did not hit home so I didn’t finish this one.
