Some great stuff here Vibed tf out

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

2/5

It was fine. I guess.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

There's some great music in here, the title track for one, but as a whole it just does not have even close to the same emotional resonance that Pet Sounds has for me. Maybe it's unfair to compare this to one of the most beautiful moving albums of all time but this is my review and they are both Beach Boys albums so here we are. Also A Day in the Life of a Tree sucks and I do not like it at all.

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

If only modern chasers were this musically talented

Don't Stand Me Down

Dexys Midnight Runners

1/5

So British it hurts, more talking than singing, and each song is far too long. The entire time I felt like Tim Heidecker at the opera. No more bullshit!

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

One of a kind talent

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

3/5

It's alright, some good stuff but I can't see myself coming back to it

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

A couple meh songs but the good ones are really really good

Palo Congo

Sabu

3/5

The variety is nice, not really a genre I've ever listened to

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

My father-in-law is a musician. He is insanely gifted. We were listening to Steely Dan together years ago and I asked him why no one makes music like that anymore. I will never forget his answer... "We can't, we don't know how to do it."

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

I actually quite like some of the songs here, Synchronicity I & II, Every Breath You Take, hell I even enjoyed Mother. The other songs range from boring to fine though and drag the album down.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Has anyone heard of these guys before? I think they could be pretty big

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Songs range from good to great without a miss

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

How to make a Daft Punk song: 1. Find a cool sample 2. Make a neat beat 3. Loop 500 times 4. Congrats you made a Daft Punk song When it works it works. It doesn't always work.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

5/5

Lovely beautiful wonderful

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

2/5

It takes a lot for a country record to entice me and this doesn't have it

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Dudes will listen to this and say "Hell yeah" I'm dudes

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Decent first album, their later work is where R.E.M. really shines though
