A Hard Day's Night

3/5

It’s good. Very good. I like the harmonies and it’s a solid album and sound for the era. I think they were popular because they were cute. They have better works.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

3/5

Good thing we’re rating the album and not the guy. The seamless transitions are pretty great. Can’t imagine seeing this live.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

Took me through a whole range of emotions. May not be my whole cup of tea but I surely felt that it was his! Well played, John. Well played.

1984

Van Halen

4/5

It’s the epitome of the 80’s hair bands. What’s not to like? David Lee Roth at the helm and Eddie Van Halen with some sick guitar solos. You can feel the drugs through the music. I mean the energy. You can feel the energy!

Blur

3/5

This was one of those that you know but you didn’t know you knew. Weird. Good though. Like pimento cheese. I’d eat it.

Arrival

ABBA

5/5

Shaky opening kissing a teacher, but you know what, maybe there was something in the air that night. Hell yeah! Love ABBA!
