A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

1-Star Albums (1)

All Ratings

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

4/5

Throughout the album there are many beautiful chord progressions that truly made me want to take out my guitar and learn them. I enjoyed the emotional vocals that can help anyone experience the pain that she may have faced. My 3 highlight tracks off the album are Couldn’t Cause Me Harm, Central Reservation (The Then Again Version), Stars All Seem To Weep, Honorable Mention Stolen Car.

The Cars

3/5

I had no idea what to expect from this album, but I can honestly say I enjoyed it for the most part. There were many fun synth leads over tangy guitar riffs which I really enjoyed. But besides the production I didn’t love the lead vocalist’s voice and I thought many lines in the project were unnecessary and corny. My 3 highlight tracks were, Just what I needed, Bye Bye Love, and Moving in Stereo.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

Although this album is made by supposedly one of the greatest songwriters of all time I can’t say that I enjoyed it. I did like how this album made me feel like I was driving by the country side but that was about the only positive I had. Many of the tracks had nearly the same guitar patterns and there was little to no variation throughout the project. My three highlight tracks were, Love Minus Zero, Mr. Tamborine Man, and It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue. I am disappointed to say that I probably will never give this one a listen again.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

4/5

This was the first soul album I have ever given a full listen and I was surprised in the emotion this album brought. Honestly one of the most eye opening listens of my life and I am excited to learn more about soul from this list. I will sadly have to point out, the repetition this album had. This for me kept it away from that perfect spot of 5 stars. My three highlight tracks are, Cry to Me, Goodbye Baby (Baby Goodbye), and Can’t Nobody Love You.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

It’s a fun listen that won’t change anyones life. I probably won’t return to it anytime soon but it was pretty cool. My three highlight tracks were Little Triggers, Hand In Hand, and Lip Service.

Boston

3/5

It’s a fun album that’ll get anyone in a positive mindset! I loved the fun guitar throughout but yet again the album had very little variation. My three highlight tracks are, More Than a Feeling, Peace of Mind, and Smokin’.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

3/5

Not an album I loved! Cool instrumentals throughout the album but not something I loved. In my eyes it was simply just okay. My three highlight tracks were, I Know What I like, The Cinema Show, and Aisle Of Plenty. Overall definitely not an album to pick individual songs off of and if you enjoy this odd style then I suggest give it a full listen.

Technique

New Order

3/5

Didn’t love it but it was cool. It felt ahead of his time indeed!

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

2/5

Cool old country sound. Not my type of album at all but I can respect it for what it is.

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

Cool album that I can definitely see inspired vampires weekend! Good album all together but no crazy standout tracks for me!

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

4/5

Hard hitting emotional album! If the rapping was better this is a 5 star album. Great vocals from Chester, dope synths, cool drum loops. Includes one of the best songs from the 2000s, with “In The End.” Not for everybody but you can’t deny the bangers are bangers!!!!

Foo Fighters

4/5

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

As someone who loves sampling the classics, this album was right in my wheelhouse. It would be hard for someone to not dance when this album comes on. Absolutely a great album!

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

2/5

I don’t fuck with this! Don’t know if I needed to ever hear it.

Cool music from beck like expected. Good songs throughout nothing incredibly special to me though.

Metallica

5/5

So close no matter how far… Countless bangers throughout. Such a huge fan of this album! They have the perfect rock song on this album with Nothing Else Matters but other incredible songs with The Unforgiven and Enter Sandman! Everyone should admire the greatness here!
