Good overall, maybe a little repetitive in terms of beats and overall feel, but still a fun, James Bond esc. listen. Best tracks were Glory Box and Sour Times
Wow, just wow. I am actually pissed at myself for putting this record off for so long. Wonderwall aside, I am extremely surprised how many other Oasis songs get swept under the rug because of it's immense popularity. 4-5 songs on the first disc of this project were complete bangers. Super glad I listened all the way through, and was sleeping on the ENTIRETY of this record, for WAY too long. This a turbo banger, end of discussion. One of the best releases of the 90's :)
-Ranking a 4.5/5
-Favorite songs = Cast No Shadow, Some Might Say, Hey Now!
Overall not bad. Not really my kind of thing, but definitely not a terrible record. I’d rate it a 3/5 personally. No songs really stand out. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it.
Just a fun listen. 2 absolute bangers on this one in OutKasts' hit single Hey Ya! and the other being Love The Way You Move. Nothing much to say, other than for my future self, I am going to give my own rating on each of these, that is separate from the website ranking, and it will be out of 10. Fun listen, classic early 2000's hip hop/rap!
Ranking 8/10
Best Tracks: Hey Ya! + Love The Way You Move
Pretty solid record. Seemed to be pretty popular back in the day when the boss released this one, (1978 I believe). Couple of really fun tracks and Springsteen's voice just carries most of the rest of the tracks. As a guitar junky I'm a slut for the catchy and satisfying chord progressions. Definitely a must listen to, glad its on the list.
Personal Ranking: 8.5/10
Favorite Tracks: Candy's Room, Adam Raised a Cain, Streets of Fire.
Quintessential Kendrick here. Probably tied for my favorite Kendrick record, along side Mr. Morale. Some heavy hitters on this project, not only for Kendrick's catalogue but for the rap game as a whole. Whether you like him or not, Mr. Lamar is one of the "Mount Rushmore" artists of the Modern rap/hip hop/music day and age. Listened to this one many times over in the past, and always jammed to it. I even forgot he had a Dr. Dre feature, which is just sick.
Personal Ranking: 9/10
Favorite Tracks: Money Trees, Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe, Backseat Freestyle
