Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears · 1 likes

2/5

The hits were blatantly the best songs on this album. It was too New Wave, too synthy and too digital for me. This was not awful but I am not a fan.

2/5

It's a pleasant album. There's no surprises or fluff. Nothing exciting. This is an album that exists.

Sufjan Stevens

3/5

3/5 because it's not something I would normally go for. It was just too mellow for me. This was an entertaining album and was well crafted. The songs all paint a wonderful picture. This was my first dive into Sufjan Stevens and while it's not my cup of tea, it was quite enjoyable.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

Boston

4/5

I knew more of this record than I thought I would. Since getting away from classic rock radio, this record hit way harder than I expected. The mix and master are fantastic. A lot of it is up tempo and driving. This album exceeded my expectations.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

There's a reason Paul has been writing songs for damn near 70 years. He's a master at it. This album is fun and there's more hooks than a bait and tackle shop. Loved this one.

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Great album. I somehow missed the Pixies while growing up in the 90s. This record is a vibe. I certainly enjoyed it.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

I love Fiona Apple. This album is great. She's sharp and has a way with words. She was an angry young woman and I'm here for it. She sounds like nothing else.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

A classic.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

5/5

A rowdy early show from The Godfather. You can hear the Hardest Working Man in Show Business putting in the work. Everything was up tempo and raucous. Loved it.

Buffalo Springfield Again

3/5

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

Nice vibe. Great songs. It was a great album. Some of these tracks snuck up on me. This was a deeper dive into the Temptations than I ever done before.
