Popular Reviews

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers

It gets 2 ⭐ based on relevance of the lyrics in their time. The vocals were hard to listen to, and the music itself was repetitious and nothing really special (not good, not bad). Listened before: No Saved tracks: No Favorite tracks: Straight ⭐⭐ Being generous

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire

Another male musician, another creep apparently, per wiki. My attraction to this group hasn't changed since the previously scored 2 star album. Is it Springsteen or Bono that is being channeled? Intervention has a rock organ? Listened before? N Saved tracks? N Favorite tracks? NA ⭐⭐ Meh

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys

Not as Celtic as I would've liked actually, but the influences were apparent. This was a nice amalgamation of styles/genres..Couple bangers I saved as faves. Great use of instrumentation and lyrics, and the vocals were excellent. But why the break into Beatles' Blackbird? That was weird. Did not listen to the entire Collectors Edition; ain't got time for that. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
