If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas · 1 likes

3/5

California Dreaming is an all-timer. Monday Monday and straight shooter are cool, rest are a mixed bag. The icky lore surrounding John Phillips tarnishes the listening experience. The panning hurts my little brain. Most of the songs feel like b sides from once upon a time in Hollywood

Tangerine Dream

4/5

This is like if “On The Run” was a full album instead of a song. Got this on wax, always gets lots of play around spooky season.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

4/5

The instrumentals are a riot, love that it’s a lean mean 29 minutes. Struggle with the vocals/lyrics. I could see this one growing on me with more listens. UPDATE: relistened while lifting weights, bumping it up to a 4

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Solid listen. Would like to revisit on a summer evening with a glass of wine. Super cool that Nina Simone cover covered a David Bowie song.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

Way more fun than I was expecting. Some cool bass parts

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

3/5

Fun listen. Was gonna give it a pass for the dated production/flows until I remembered Paul’s Boutique came out the same year. Nice bari sample on Latifah’s Law

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

5/5

First album on here that was a big blind spot. Really enjoyed this, like if the Pretty Prince of Parties was a full album.

Any major dude will tell you that I’m a Stan for the Dan. Get out your house coats, brandy, and stogies for this one.

Atomizer

Big Black

2/5

Not my bag, although had some fun with it. First few songs were choppy, enjoyed the back half more, picked up some nonagon infinity vibes. Added a song or two to my workout playlist.

The Specials

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

4/5

This rules, amazing drumming. Love the vocals and Latin influence. I think this could turn into a 5 down the road, it’s a lot to digest

Live Through This

Hole

Interesting to hear some grunge from someone other than a depressed white guy

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

The Next Day

David Bowie

3/5

Gotta respect the man, he was not resting on his laurels. Solid rock album. Some hints of what was to come on Blackstar. 53 minutes felt a little long. I definitely prefer my Bowie coked up.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

Each song in the back half gets slower, just when you think it can’t get slower they hit you with the overload

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

5/5

This one took a long time to digest, but it’s a favourite now. Just a big shambling 60s juggernaut. Favourite cuts are One of Us Must Know, Visions, & Sad Eyed Lady
