Ough I’m such a showtune faggot. Not much to say it’s rlly just good ass big band that makes me wanna dance and sing like one of those 1950s musical fellas. I will say tho pennies from heaven sounds weird but I’m just used to the Louis Prima version.
In terms of favorite songs my top is probably anything goes, but you make me feel so young, love is here to stay, and I’ve got you under my skin are all top songs for me.
The doors are one of my favorite bands of all time and this album is just everything that makes them good in one album, it’s nice and bluesy but also a bit out there but both sides are brought together so well by Jim Morrisons vocal work his voice is somehow both haunting and also like joyful and danceable.
Cars hiss by my window, the title track, Texas radio and the big beat, and riders on the storm are my personal favorites
It’s an 80s Metallica album so it’s gonna be amazing ofc, but I feel like some tracks couldlve been done better on their previous albums. Some places the bass mixing isn’t awful (probably because hetfields rhythm guitar fills in for it well) but on others like eye of the beholder it’s more noticeable. The albums also too political, it’s not that Metallica can’t be political just the ideas are so vague that it feels like nothing more than “freedom good authority bad” stuff and just feels so boomer in what it’s saying. It’s also a bit bloated, it’s 10 minutes longer than master of puppets but it feels like that space is taken up with less. It’s still a good album tho it’s got some rlly nice headbangers, just I think with the death of cliff their sound got shaken up and this is the growing pains of that.
My favorite tracks are one, blackened, harvester of sorrow, and frayed ends of sanity
So I cheated with this one because it’s not really an album it’s more a compilation of every time Ella Fitzgerald sang a Gershwin song, totaling over 3 goddamn hours which nobody fucking has the time for unless you’re retired, so I listened through the first disc and then listened to her best of the Gershwin songbook album to fill in gaps
After all that though I still love it, my Sinatra review obviously shows my sucker side for a good swing song and this album is choc full of em, beautifully sung because it’s Ella fucking Fitzgerald and the orchestra is great, the songwriting is also good I especially like the wittier tracks they have that 1940s/50s sarcasm that’s charming to me at least. Overall not a bad album and I wouldn’t protest its inclusion since I presume the Gershwin catalog is the most famous of Ella’s work but I feel like they could’ve chosen a shorter one.
Favorites are Sam and Delilah, let’s call
The whole thing off, I’ve got beginners luck, and I’ve got rhythm
I love how, for lack of a better word, soulful this album is. In that it takes so much from funk and soul music, the drums and bass carry amazing groove and the lyrics all feel like they’ve come straight from the soul. Some of the lyrics are kinda wack (doo woo that thing for example is kinda weird) but overall they’re super good bars. I also like how religion ties into it, a lot of Christian music is Christian before it’s music but this one is music and then the religious aspects are weaved in pretty seamlessly.
Favorites are doo woo (that thing), ex factor, to Zion, forgive them father, and every ghetto every city
I really love steely Dan’s style of jazzy dad rock. It’s just very nice to listen to. I’ve listened to all their albums except gaucho and found myself enjoying every one tbh. I would say something about this album but tbh it’s just the same very consistent very good steely Dan style
Favorites are Rikki don’t lose that number, Parker’s band, and east Saint Louis to de loo
Woagh first album I didn’t really like! So much of this is just really slow rnb type stuff which doesn’t fit Brittney at all, I really wish the title track and crazy were more of what inspired the rest of it. There’s just no energy which like I said before really doesn’t fit Brittney, I get this is her first album but still it feels like they were trying to chase trends instead of play to her strengths.
Favorites are the aforementioned title track and crazy
Really good album, public enemy is one of my favorite 80s rap groups I really love their very jagged sort of beat style and the interplay between flav and chuck d. Also I lowkey miss rappers having djs that make the beats and them being a duo its always neat hearing the dj mindset in old hip hop beats
Favorites are bring the noise, can we get a witness (which is totally correct btw sampled songs shouldn’t be copyrighted), and cold lampen with flavor
When it comes to glam metal my test for how good the music is comes down to how fast it makes me wanna speed, and every song here makes me wanna go 90 in a school zone. All the tracks have this immense badass energy to them and absolute killer speed (even on the slower tracks for some reason), and David Lee Roth kills it on vocals not to mention the fucking legend that is EVH.
Favorite tracks on here are top Jimmy, hot for teacher, Panama, and drop dead legs
Really good album, just a straight violent yelling ride. I don’t rlly have much to say tbh but that’s not a show of the albums quality the drums hit hard the guitars are loud and aggressive the vocals are amazing. I don’t rlly have any favorite tracks from this one because like most hardcore punk I listen to it kinda runs together in a good way like someone yelling at you constantly and randomly it’s a neat vibe.
