Popular Reviews

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk

Holy crap. Usually I’m annoyed by songs with string out chorus’ but the rhythm and synth on this album is so enjoyable.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre

Definitely a night time gift wrapping album. I’ll revisit this so I think it’s good enough for a 5.

With The Beatles by Beatles

Visually, a classic album. Not to be infused with “Meet the Beatles”, the U.S. release. This album has a lot of good songs. Many state “I wanna be your man” is the weak link but I disagree, it was written for the Rolling Stones but I feel like it adds a nice charm to this album. The covers and the originals blend really well, I think Mr Postman is my favorite, but All My Loving is definitely the song that made this album shine.

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Bluesy classic here with some good hits. Janis is best known for being a part of the 27 club, where honestly I believe her status in rock history comes from. This is gonna sound really bad but this is an instance of “Died young enough a hero, before living long enough to be a villain”. Shes been immortalized because it her music could not get worse. I’m not a big fan, her voice just is so scratchy but she had a glow about her that screamed “fuck you I’ll do what I want”. It’s a shame that she passed so young because I really don’t know if Pearl being someone’s best album makes them a legend.
