Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

the sax sounds amazing. pretty groovy. love the adlibs bowie has some soul in him don't love some the lyrics black choir popping off sax solo bass is holding it down David is daviding across the universe is my favorite, but I hate the fade out there's a little ziggy in here those are some pretty harmonies, oohhh and the strings. very pretty and soft song, should have been the closer. why is fame at the end overall pretty solid record, just gets a little white man making weird noise over a black choir sometimes.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

day 3 of listening to white dad's music taste :/ vocals and guitar eating wish the high hats were mixed better paranoid has some great drums okay love how this album actually have variety and shows musicianship planet caravan is a very pretty song vietnam mention hand of doom probably the best song off the record not the kind of music I would listen to but still a very enjoyable listen

3/5

day 4 of listening to white dad rock :( eh New Year's Day's build is pretty good I do not like this man's voice like a song has a nice breakdown drowning man sounds like a medieval tavern music the refugee is my favorite kinda over the fade outs red light is so fun, giving Mario cart tho the back half of this album is much better not the kind of music I would listen to

5/5

The Beta Band

3/5

nothing really exceptional listenable songs space has some pretty instrumentals easy has some fun ones the harmonies on wonderful need some work but otherwise a lovely song space beatle is nice rhododendron is a calm little interlude liquid bird is probably my fav off this, I like how the guitar and drums sound on this pure for a is a good closer
