Marty Robbins · 1 likes
3/5
Sounds surprisingly clean and crisp. Some of these songs I've heard multiple versions of. I'm not well versed enough in country to know how many are old standards vs Marty Robbins originals that have been covered later. Some interesting guitar sounds that I would normally associate with traditional italian music, especially on "Billy the Kid". I wonder whether that is spaghetti westerns influencing my idea of what italian music sounds like, or some natural affinity between the two. Definitely a classic and pretty well done, but I feel like I'm listening to it academically despite how emotional it's meant to be. Just a bit too far removed from my life and experience I guess. Pretty bored by the end. Going with 3 stars, my standard rating for something that I appreciate but don't particularly like.

So funky Love the opening track. Like this a a lot. Solid rhythm section back there and really cool guitar and brass. Great voice. Strong 4 stars

5/5
Top Covid lockdown album? Love this one, love the bass lines, love the arrangements. Just the right amount of weird to be engrossing and interesting. Very surprising 5 stars, really happy to be reminded of this one.

2/5
Positives - great metal drumming, super tight. Good bass too. Too clean for me. I prefer more distortion and emotion in metal, or rock music generally. There are features here that certainly influenced music that I like a lot more. I appreciated the lyrics for the most part, but did not enjoy the singing. Songs felt repetitive. I can't remember any that I preferred over others. Maybe I'm grumpy, but 2/5
Steely Dan · 1 likes
1/5
Sure I guess. I've actually never listened to a Steely Dan record. Lets see. What if we made wild and impressive jazz, but we were the most boring people you'd ever met. Really good music as made by Chip and Joanna Gaines. Yacht rock in the goddamn doldrums, we're going to get scurvy out here. It takes nerve to make music this dull and just let other people listen to it like it was normal. I hate it, I hate it more than I thought I possibly could. Why do I hate it so much? It should be okay, but it's just not, I hate it. 1 star.
