Favorite: Lost in Music, you’re a friend to me
Least:Easier to Love
I liked it but would have liked more shape or change within songs or maybe they just stay slightly too long. Also in school kids would sing we are family even though you’re fatter than me

Most of the tracks were really good and the different music styles incorporated into several songs was clear but kept in with the overall sound of the band. Most everything feels very clean and the way Debbie’s vocals glide over top everything is good. Unfortunately there’s like three songs that I would probably skip if listening to again.
Fav: Bell Bottom Blues, Layla
L: Why Does Love Got to be so Sad

I liked most of it and loved some of it. Have you ever loved a woman is really funny considering how Eric Clapton’s life turned out.
Fav: Ole Man Trouble,You Don’t Miss Your Water
L: Wonderful World
Having the opening and closing tracks be quite good might have raised my score higher than if they were in a different order.

I use to listen to this all the time as a kid and Run of the Mill used to be favorite song as like a 12 year old. That being said the original release fizzles out and the cd release order of everything is out of line.
Cut down to a normal single album there’s a 5/5 or close to it.

Well, it was mostly boring. At times pleasantly boring but mostly slightly agitating. I was kind of digging Stray Cat Blues until the lyrics popped in. I certainly don’t know why Sympathy for the Devil is so popular
Fav: Wake up Alone
L: Just Friends

I don’t know, it wasn’t terrible but I don’t think I would ever seek out any of the songs again and some of them I would maybe switch to a different channel if they were on the radio.
Fav: Text Me Back, Detox

Sounds like what a British Jaxon would listen to. Some songs were really repetitive but I either warmed up to it or it got better by the end. Maybe I’ll have to listen to it backwards to find out
Fav: Sorted for E’s and Wizz

Wanker core. For like half the songs the direction to the instruments seems to have been “play the same chord every beat”. At like 2:28 in Monday Morning he does a Mr Bean noise a few times.

What a great album, very expressive as well as impressive. I had quite a few moments where I was completely absorbed in the music. I will definitely be listening to this one a lot. I’m giving it a 4.5 but it might be a 5 so I’m rounding up
Fav: Dirty Trip, Highschool Lover
L: Suicide Underground
2.5
It was atmospheric I guess. I bet it worked well in the movie which I should probably see. I could see listening to one of the tracks randomly or putting this on while trying to study or something, but it’s not very interesting to actively listen to as a whole album by itself for me.
Fav: Wanted Dead or Alive (it’s funny guys I promise)

I don’t really hate the Jovi but I haven’t been subjected to him for very long Iuntil now. Wasn’t as bad as I feared but I don’t want to listen to any of it again

I am a shoegaze enjoyer. This album felt a little unpolished though in a not good way. I thought the singing was passable but a weak spot. Still it was an enjoyable listen and I might listen to some of the songs again
Fav: Sweet Life, Lost
L: Super Rich Kids

To start, orange is my least favorite color. Most of the songs needed something more in my opinion. The lyrics got kind of annoying repetitive in parts. I wouldn’t be bothered if somebody put this on, but I don’t think I would ever listen to this again.
Fav: Aphrodisiac Jacket

Not very interesting and annoying at times. Maybe it’s a good showcase for generic hard rock, great value hard rock perhaps.

I don’t know how to feel about Pearl Jam. Listening to it I can’t stop singing along in a mocking style. It’s kind of good though and they definitely have their own sound. I’m glad it exists but I completely understand people who don’t like it especially if they had to hear it all the time.
Fav: Triangle Walks, Now’s the Only Time I Know

Who is the Alpha? For some reason YouTube listed like every song as explicit. Maybe that’s because it was all a little quirk Chungus.

The whole album kept hitting an exposed nerve or something. I think it’s probably all in the execution though. The vocals in this are killing me and everything wasn’t put together quite right. It has cool musical ideas but they’re just put together or assembled incorrectly. If this got played regularly in public Orange Juice might make my list of enemies. I feel ukind of bad about this low of a score but I got to be honest. In places it does almost wrap around to being so bad it’s good but it’s not quite there for me.

Squirreljak opening!
“I was following the” repeated haunts me to this day. It strikes fear into my heart.
Uh, I listened to it thrice to try and figure out how I felt about it. I’m still confused. One moment I feel it’s painting a lovely painting and the next I feel like it’s going in circles in a dull way
Fav: The Queen of Eyes
L: I Wanna Destroy You
2.5
To start, I only listened to the 40 min original version. The album mostly just reminded me of music I like better that came out before this. It feels unpolished and like it was dated when it came out. That being said the songs do feel distinct from each other and have their own things going on which is nice. I think some talented and creative people could make some great covers of some of these songs but the sound here just doesn’t work for me.
Fav: Corcovado
L: honestly might be The Gorl from Ipanema

But she doesn’t see. She just doesn’t see. No she doesn’t see. But she doesn’t see.
I don’t see what the big deal is. I listened to it intently and then while I was doing chores. It was kind of boring listening to it intently but decent at being background music. Maybe there’s something deeper there but I’m not seeing it. Also Portuguese kind of melts my brain when I hear it, not a problem of the language just a problem with my brain hearing like Slavic Spanish but I guess that’s sort of what Romanian is.
Fav: Early Morning Breeze, My Blue Tears
L: The Way I See You
3.5
Here I am but replace every time she says here I am with the “here I am” from Rock You Like A Hurricane. First two songs start out with cool lyrics but kind of boring music the middle songs are good but then The Way I See You and the last song are maybe the worst on the album. Overall pretty good.
Fav: Lust to Love

How much more (of this list) can I take before I go crazy?
At the end of Skidmarks On My Heart they sing "I'm driving in risk" but I kept hearing "I'm dominant race" and I was like what am I listening to.
Anyway, this album frustrated me. Almost every song needed something more, more shape, more speed and energy or more emotion. Like if these songs were like 20% more interesting in some way or another this would be an amazing album. It's still good though.
Album cover: 4 I think its color palette and take on the basic these are the band members is good.
Album title: 1.5 A cappella group name type of title in a bad way. They do have We Got The Beat as a song in there though so not quite a complete throwaway album title.
Fav: No Xmas for John Quays, Underground Medecin

I’m having trouble rating this one. It has good comedic value but not as much as other albums and it veers from being funny into annoying a bit too often. I didn’t smile quite a bit while listening to it which counts for something. I probably will end up listening to a song or two from this now and again. The more I think about it maybe the more I like it. I guess it does a good job at being music for a particular mood.
Album Cover: 2 It's not put together right or something, especially the words on it.
Album name: 2.5 Could be an interesting title but I don't know that it fits how I feel about the album.
Fav: Round and Round
L: Run

Kind of boring and repetitive at times. I think there's a low point right in the middle with Guilty Partner and Run. I don't have much to say about this one.
Album Cover: 3 Kind of cool and fits the album vibes well enough.
Album Name: 1 The more I think about it the less I like the title. If you're going to name your album something like that I'd expect to see some really cool technique or something else to live up to the title but this doesn't.
Fav: same as everyone else’s Blueberry Hill

With respect to Fats and his contribution to the music world, I did not enjoy this one. It’s a cool piece of history but the recording hit a similar nerve as the Orange Juice one. The rhythm piano was especially grating to me and it was in like every song. I think part of my problem with it is just the limitations of the recording in that era.
Album Cover: 2 I guess this was before they really tried but Fats has a great smile so that boosts it up.
Album Title: 1.5 I guess this was also before they thought about naming albums
Fav: Infinity
L: Basic Space
2.5
This is the kind of music they have in a movie theater when you show up before the have the ads/previews playing. Maybe the whole spartan sound playing in an empty hall thing was cool at the time, and it is a little cool, but I don't know that there's enough emotion in the music for me to latch on to. Also they sound so disinterested in what they're singing in a bad way. Also is Infinity a weird cover of Wicked Game?
Album Cover: 3.5 The cover is a good representation of the sound and mood I think the album is going for, maybe not super interesting though.
Album Name: 1.5 All I can think of is this must be Elon Musk's favorite album and band but it does kind of work with the cover.
Fav: Wildflowers
L: Telling Me Lies, I've Had Enough
2.5
Kind of a sleepy album. The hobo song was made me smile but I'm not sure they have an h-word card. The less country the songs were the less interesting they got.
Album Cover: 2 What were they trying to achieve with the slanted picture in the weird colored border? I don't know that it would be great if it was just the picture but I think it would be better.
Album Name: 2.5 Sure I guess, the album doesn't really feel like they really found a way trio together in a meaningful way.

Hey Wesley, where do the children play? I listened to this like 3 times and my mood on it changes a bit each time. The first half is definitely stronger I think and falls apart a bit at Longer Boats regaining some steam at the very end.

I don't like this fella's voice. When I went to look at the lyrics for 17 because I was like, "what did he just say?" the music stopped and youtube said you cant listen while reading the lyrics for music for kids. I don't know if it glitched out or what but that was a comedic song to do that on. Overall mostly just a bit bland but I think with a different singer I'd probably like it more.
Cover: 3.5 Intriguing and I think matches the tone the album was going for.
Name: 4.5 Solid name, glad it isn't one of the song titles. Fits the album decent.

Man, people really thought this was peak sound back in the 80’s. Jump has been wheeled out for so many advertisements since then. I don’t care for pretty much any part of this, for me the most interesting songs musically have the worst lyrics. If you like the sound then I guess there’s something here for you but to me this is just obnoxious. Actually the way I disliked the Fats Domino album is sort of how I feel about this one strangely enough, they’re both weird time capsules to times and places I feel no affinity or interest toward.
Cover: 3 there’s something to think about here.
Name: 3 if this didn’t come out in 1984 it would be way worse.

Fluctuates between genius and brainlessness like a YouTube poop. I think there's a 5/5 album in here but it's buried in so much useless repetitive stuff. Nearly ever song overstays its welcome by like 50-66% and then the album is like 33-50% too long and that's the original track listing. It's kind of a shame to see the obvious potential of this lost in the lack of restraint where every piece and the whole builds something great and then makes you feel stupid for liking it because they just kept repeating the same objects.

Very bland, this is one that I really don’t know why it’s on the list. It wasn’t annoying but I listened to this with nothing else going on and it was difficult to focus on it just because of how uninteresting it was. No disrespect but this feels like something lumps would listen to. To keep from zoning out on this one I was thinking Minecraft parodies and every song would translate really easily into one.
Cover: 2 kind of immediately signaled I probably wouldn’t like this one
Name: 1.5 they went way too far with the Zuton stuff without going far enough would be higher if they didn’t have a Zuton song or if every song talked about Zutons

Last one to rate to the album thinks Genesis was better without Peter Gabriel.
I got this cd a couple years ago and I think I enjoy it more every time I listen to it. The second side really slows down and probably loses a lot of people but I enjoy the whole thing with all the goofy stuff and everything. Wesley would live in the colony of slippermen.
