For a 1978 album, it has misses and hits. Instrumentation with strings doesn't stink too bad and the vocals range from ok to meh. This would not have been on a mixtape for me in 78.
80's wasn't all disco, thank the goddess. Synth and drums on point for the time. Would watch the videos again, if MTV played music.. And Duran was reportedly Princess Diana's favorite band, so there is that vote. And I found my CD, so will put it back in rotation when I load up the old CD changer.

Bob Dylan. I always need lyrics for some of his work. On this listen, I appreciate lyrics (some seem poignant, some seem silly). Harmonica breaks work well but his voice and delivery is not my taste. I did tag a couple songs but they will not be much in rotation on long car rides. Given it is 2025 the one lyric from 'It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)' that made me go EWWWW! "But even sometimes the President of the United States must have to stand naked".. Get that visual out of my head NOW. Else the lyrics still resonate lo these many years. Listened before? Partially Saved to library? No Favorite track(s): Bob Dylan's 115th Dream, It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), Mr. Tambourine Man, Love Minus Zero
Not gonna lie, my vocal cords hurt listening to the screaming lyrics. Not my scene, as this tries to be metal / rap. Listened before: No Saved to library: No Favorite tracks: In the End
Not for me at all. Not my genre, whatever genre(s) this might fit. Based on the music, 2 stars Based on my listening preference- 1 star Listened before: N Saved to library: N Favorite tracks: ⭐ That's all folks
This one surprised me from first track. Musically intriguing with intelligent lyrics. Some of the instrumentation was a wee grating or it would have been 4 stars. Previously listened: N Saved to library: M Favorite track (s): Sissyneck, Ramshackle Saved tracks : None ⭐⭐⭐ Worth another listen
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
Noise. Penance or Punishment Party? Didn't love, can't hate. Previously listened: N Saved tracks: N Favorite tracks: none ⭐⭐
