First 2000s album and its euro techno supreme. I do like some electronic music and while I did like the overarching chill vibe with a lot of the album, there were still parts I didn’t like. I wanted to like “sunworshipper”, but the constant snippet of dialogue was annoying when I was just trying to chill, and the title track had the same vibe with just naming 80s musicians that the speaker wanted to ban. I also didn’t like the cut stop/start sound in “Rikki” and “in my arms” And while I did enjoy a few tracks (Muscle Cars, guilty of love and need you tonite) I everything else was just very average or forgettable track to be played in a club quickly forgotten. Decent album, but not a whole lot too it 2/5

This was a hard album to get through. I’m mot a fan of the peppers and when I saw how many tracks I let out a groan. It’s so funny cuz I can recognize the individual talent of all members, but put together it leads to results ranging from enjoyable to just kind of a funk-lite bore Standouts include breaking the girl(love that middle breakdown), I could have lied, and under the bridge (their biggest hit and can actually see why, Ive listened to it plenty of times) Everything else is just either annoying funk noises (give it away being the biggest offender) or just consistent 4-5 minute rock rap funk trials I’m just waiting to be over I did like “theyre red hot” as an ended, one of my fave Robert Johnson songs. But either way, not a fan and won’t be revisiting

Some 60s pop from the start of the underrated Dusty Springfields long career. It’s always interesting to see where artist come from (listen to David bowies first album for a trip) but this is just a shining example of her great voice and how Motown and soul influenced her first pop outing Mama said and you don’t Own me are so full of thst sort of doo-wop pop that she excelled at, and the nearly sinister towns of don’t own me give it’s a much of an edge as you can for a 60s girl pop hit While do re mi was kind of so-so for me, “when the love light” was an excellent jolt of show time energy., with “coloring book” slow jamming is back down with a gorgeous instrumental track while 24 hours to Tulsa I’ve listened to st least a dozen times Ultimately, while this album is full of covers (which was the style at the time for new musicians on the scene) I’m still in awe of the groundwork Dusty has left and would recommend the album for sure

Lowlights: fine time, round and round, Mr Disco Highlights: guilty partner, run I was surprised in this album as I usually associate New order with darker, grimier electronic music and a lot of this music was bright, not just the album color. It looks like they went to Ibiza and listened to more club music, which as it turns out I’m not into Some stuff was good , liked when they returned to their sound in guilty partner and Run was a good track. But stuff like fine time and MrDisco just sounded like they were fucking out with a soundboard, Also, Round and Round sounded like that one SpongeBob clip of him dancing with ol no name the jelly fish. Done there, awful to listen to. Overall I can see what people like about this album and If your interested in seeing the growth and change in a band then this can be interesting. But ultimately I’m leaving this one in the sands of Ibiza

The first album on here that Ive reviewed that I’ve listened to. Patti smith, th punk rock poet laureate. Her debut album is phenomenal Gloria is so devistating right off the rip (Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine). And while I do love some of the more traditional songs, redondo beach and free money, the long standing songs is what makes it special May not be peoples bags, and not something I listen to it too often, but it’s the Patti smith experience that I enjoy .

Have heard this album a few times in high school so I’m familiar with this album and to be honest, how damn near perfect thus debut album is. How most of these songs are usually on Hendrix best of (purple haze hey Joe foxes lady, etc) Always liked highway chile and red house as a bluesy wonder. I don’t have much to say other then that each song is attention getting and enjoyable.

As much as I loved the bangers of Rio and Hungry like the wolf, I didn’t find much variety or enjoyment out of any of the other tracks. They were fine, serviceable and maybe a lil catchy but nothing held a candle to those two tracks. Kind of a lackluster album

Highlights: wordy rappington, genius of love, L’elphant, Lorelei Lowlight: Tom tom theme, booming and zooming Fun Natural Fun! I loved this album. I had heard genius of live plenty of time but never got around to this whole album done by this splinter group of the talking heads Worry rappington is definitely a litmus test to see if you’ll like what this album and I was all in. Genius of love is for sure a classic banger that’s been sampled like crazy and has plenty of crazy talk and such a groovy best (my favorite line thst I live bey, “WHO NEEDS TO THINK WHEN YOUR FEET JUST GO?!”) L’elephant and Lorelei were two distinct sounds and bass heavy tracks that I find myself just getting lost in, and I really enjoyed the closer of under the boardwalk The album isn’t flawless, while I can forgive tom tom club, booming and zooming was a chore to get through after all of the radio talking happened Either way, this was a fun album that I will for sure find myself listening to post review. 4/5
