This is gonna be my first blues album I've listened to in full. I'm not sure what I am expecting. I am hoping it's not some pretentious prog-rock BS that insists upon itself.
Track 1: Move Over. Wow. I am already catching onto this album from the first track. The vocals especially are really getting me going. And the instrumental portion I'm hearing as I write this is fucking awesome. Overall a very good opening track. 9/10
Track 2: Cry Baby. WHERE HAVE I HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE!? I know that fucking chorus! I need to find out where I heard this before. Apart from that it's a relative step down from track 1. Even with the amazing outro I feel like I would prefer listening to Move Over 9 times out of 10. 7/10
Track 3: A Woman Left Lonely. I don't have much to say. The vocals be vocaling. The pianos be pianoing. The organs be organing. I just feel like something is missing here and I can't put my finger on it. Also the piano sounds like it's about to go into the Gracie Films logo jingle at times. 5/10
Track 4: Half Moon. Ooohhh this song is funky! I really prefer this song over A Woman or even Cry Baby for that matter. And that instrumental portion again my GOD. This song wants to make me boogie! The vocals bring the same vibe as a preacher especially at the end, which is fitting because I'm thanking god for showing me this album. 10/10
Track 5: Buried Alive In the Blues. Oh shit? An instrumental song? I didn't think we'd be getting one in a 10 song tracklist but here we are. The guitars are rocking harder than most rock albums I've heard from this time and combined with the Honky-Tonk pianos and organs, I am loving this album so far. 8/10
Track 6: My Baby. Another step-down on the album for me. But I think this one is needed. After a genuine 10/10 and one of the best instrumental songs I've heard, I believe this album needed a cooldown. 6/10
Track 7: Me and Bobby McGee. Not sure why this is the most popular song on the album especially since other tracks like Half Moon and Move Over have more emotional vocal performances and outstanding instrumentation. In my opinion this is my least favourite song on the album so far. 5/10
Track 8: Mercedez Benz. Wow. This is different. I ain't against it however. It's almost like an old-timey work song. It's kinda depressing that she's singing alone though, especially after she calls for everybody to sing along. Maybe this song was made for live performances? IDK. Either way I dig it. 7/10.
Track 9: Trust Me. Not sure what I can say about this track that I haven't said about the others. The vocals are amazing as usual and the instrumentation reaches into my soul. Although I will say maybe the vocals sound a bit too strained this time around. She's putting too much of her jopussy into it. 7/10
Track 10: Get It While You Can. A slow closing track for an otherwise mostly fast paced album. I think it's a neat little closer. Emotional and yet catchy.
Overall I was not expecting to like this album as much as I did. The slower tracks didn't really do a lot for me but Janis's vocals really carried most of the album. I'll give the album an overall 8/10
Oh boy here we go. As I mentioned in my previous album review I am not a fan of “Pretentious Prog Rock”. I was never the biggest fan of bands like Pink Floyd or King Crimson. I mainly listen to Hip-Hop and Electronic with occasional splashes of Pop and more accessible rock genres like Indie and Pop Rock. But I might as well rip the bandaid off now. Let’s see if I’ll catch the Rush Rash or something, IDFK. Let’s just get this over with.
Track 1 pt. 1: 2112: Overture. Oh god it’s a 20 minute suite to start off. I am not looking forward to this album. I’ve already forgotten the intro. 3/10
Track 1 pt. 2: The Temples Of Syrinx. Okay, okay. I see what you’re cooking up. I actually don’t hate this track. It’s catchy and energetic. 7/10
Track 1 pt. 3: Discovery. I wish I was listening to Daft Punk’s Discovery over this so far. I just do not like this track. It’s putting me to fucking sleep. 2/10
Track 1 pt. 4: Presentation. That’s one way to wake me up at least. This album is putting me through a rollercoaster so far with ups and downs. The calm singing with acoustic production in one portion perfectly contrasts the shouting vocals and electrified guitars the next. And the ending picks up the pace I didn’t even know could be picked up. 9/10
Track 1 pt. 5: Oracle. I thought this was gonna be another down with the dreamy production yet again but the second half of this track really woke me up again. I’m not the biggest fan of the guitars on the vocals but eh. That’s probably just a me thing. 6/10
Track 1 pt. 6: Soliloquy. Holy guitar solo. 8/10
Track 1 pt. 7: Grand Finale. If there’s one thing I love about rock performances, it’s the breakdowns at the end of songs. If you need an example just check any live performance of Primus’ “Harold Of The Rocks” and while this breakdown isn’t anything close to Harold, it’s still an awesome way to finish a suite of ups and downs. 9/10. Overall for the whole suite: 6/10
Track 2: A Passage To Bangkok. Did Carmen Sandiego write this song? It’s just a stupid little song about smoking weed around the world. I pretty big deviation from the nihilistic 20 minute epic. 3/10
Track 3: The Twilight Zone. Eh? It’s a cute tribute to the show of the same name. Would this be the first ever Nerdcore song? Either way if I ever watched the show I would probably like the song more. 5/10.
Track 4: Lessons. Is it okay to say I just don’t care for this song? I listened to the whole thing trying to think of something to say but I just couldn’t think of anything at all. I guess the guitar at the end is alright? 4/10
Track 5: Tears. Wow. This is probably the only song I’m keeping off this album in my playlist. A genuinely beautiful song. I did not expect this. 9/10
Track 6: Something For Nothing. This sounds very Pink Floyd-ish. Specifically something off of Animals or an energetic song on The Wall. Just chill out on the vocals (and maybe the guitars) and you got mid-era Pink Floyd. 5/10.
Overall while I didn’t hate this album like I thought I would, I didn’t necessarily care for it either. The suite is too varied in quality for the good tracks to save it and the post-suite tracks range from just good to boring and forgettable…except Tears, that’s a great track.
Favourite Track: Tears
Least Favourite Track: Discovery
Overall Rating: 5/10
OOOOOHHHHH BANANA! This is the first album on this list that I'm actually revisiting. I own this album on vinyl, sticker and all. That being said I remember this being one of the albums I only took a few songs from. Let's see if my opinions have grown since then.
Track 1: Sunday Morning. Dreamy, ethereal and trippy. Undoubtedly one of the best album openers of all time...but also not one of my favourites. It sounds nice objectively but for me there's nothing that really keeps my attention. 7/10
Track 2: I'm Waiting For The Man. I don't know why I like this song so much. On my original listen this was one of the stand out tracks and it still stands out for me years later. It just sounds...fun? 8/10
Track 3: Femme Fatale. On the contrary, this song does nothing for me. It's just so...barren. So boring. 2/10
Track 4: Venus In Furs. This song sounds intimidating as fuck yet the lyrics are oddly sexual. I feel like the person portrayed in the lyrics is in danger, yet that's exactly where he wants to be. No other notes. 8/10
Track 5: Run Run Run. I remember this being my favourite song off the album on my first listen and now that I've listened to it again, yeah it's my favourite so far. It totally holds up. From the storytelling lyrics to the distortion in the guitar solo, I love this song just as much as I did when I first heard it. 9/10.
Track 6: All Tomorrow's Parties. This one's weird but in a good way...I think? It's slow, cryptic and mysterious especially in it's instrumentation. Prepared Piano and Fretless Guitar accomodate melodic yet oddly unnerving vocals perfectly. 8/10.
Track 7: Heroin. Wow. I forgot just how great this song was. The first portion of each verse is almost comforting like you can just fall asleep to it but when each part speeds up it's almost like a bad trip. Something's gone wrong and you can't stop it. You're just there for the fucking ride and if you die, you can't help it! You can barely help yourself! All you can do is take another shot and ride that fucker out, baby! YEAH, COME ON! I'LL TAKE ALL YOU BITCHES DOWN TO HELL WITH ME! YOU DON'T SCARE ME! GOD WORSHIPS ME! SATAN FEARS ME! I AM ONE AND EVERYTHING! ...yeah I really like this song. 10/10.
Track 8: There She Goes Again. The most accessable song on the album following the scariest. Another oddly sexual song too but I ain't complaining. Especially with the speed up at the end. I wish we had more of that part. 8/10.
Track 9: I'll Be Your Mirror. Eh? Don't really gain much from this track. It sounds nice but that's about it. That's really all I can say about it. 5/10.
Track 10: The Black Angel's Death Song. This song is all over the place. Lyrics that don't make sense, weird sounding strings (at least I think they're strings), what sounds like a fucking air pump break between verses, I am not sure what to think of this song. 5/10.
Track 11: European Son. I mentioned in my last review I enjoy "breakdowns" at the end of performances. This is that concept taken to it's most extreme. Almost 7 minutes of sonic chaos after just two portions of lyrical content. And I love it. 9/10.
Overall this is undoubtedly one of the best rock albums of the 60's and possibly all time. Very little to complain about and a lot to take away. I think I might have a banana after this.
Favourite song: Heroin.
Least Favourite Song: Femme Fatale.
Overall: 9/10. (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)
#4: Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska. I'm not expecting to enjoy this album. Singer-Songwriter is another genre I've just failed to "get" so far. Then again I enjoyed 2112 more than I thought I would so why not give this a shot?
Track 1: Nebraska. An oddly calming song about a fucking serial killer. The lyrics are creepy but the guitars are welcoming. If I wanted to listen to the auditory experiences of a real life serial killer, I would just listen to G.R by Deathpile. 4/10
Track 2: Atlantic City. I think this whole album is just gonna be a huge case of "it just ain't for me". Maybe in 20 years I'll realise the majesty of this album and this song in particular but until then, this ain't it chief. 2/10
Track 3: Mansion on the Hill.Nope. Nothin' yet. 3/10.
Track 4: Johnny 99. Finally some energy! This is a diamond in the rough of this album so far. Don't have much else to say. 9/10.
Track 5: Highway Patrolman. This song has no buiness being the longest song on the album. It could've ended after the second verse. This song feels like a lullaby. 3/10.
Track 6: State Trooper. Bruce Springsteen Jumpscare. 4/10.
Track 7: Used Cars. Imma be real... 2/10
Track 8: Open All Night. ...I zoned out over these last 2 songs. 2/10.
Track 9: My Father's House. ...oh my god....I get it. Kinda. I actually kinda cried at this song. I'm imagine myself in this situation but with my gran instead. She's still alive thankfully but I'm just wondering what I'm gonna do at that portion of my life...fuck, man. 9/10.
Track 10: Reason to Believe. Another track I just have nothing to say about. It's a neat closer...i guess. 3/10.
Overall yup. This just wasn't for me. Apart from two tracks, only one of which I plan on revisiting often. The other one was just a sort of tearjerker but that's not enough to save this album.
Favourite Track: Johnny 99
Least Favourite Track: Atlantic City
Overall: 2/10 (⭐)
#5: Willie Colón and Rubén Blades - Siembra. This is my first time actually endulging in salsa music intentionally. I have zero clue what I'm getting myself into. I'm just gonna hop in, see if I like the music and hop out.
Track 1: Plástico. Wow. Funky bass and orchestral production were not what I was expecting. The song soon takes a more traditional salsa approach but still that opening caught me off-guard. I can't speak Spanish and cannot be bothered to look up the lyrics so this is mostly just basing off of how the music itself sounds and so far I like it. Really like it in fact. 8/10
Track 2: Buscando Guayaba. This sounds like Jackbox Games music /positive. Also the Crazy Frog break? Hello? 8/10.
Track 3: Pedro Navaja. I've been noticing a trend in my reviews. Pretty much every most popular track on the album ends up being my least favourite. I'm not sure why this is the case but this album seems to be another case of it. It's still a good song tho so there's a break at least. 6/10.
Track 4: Mario Lionza. Don't have a lot to nessisarily say about this track. It's just catchy. 7/10
Track 5: Ojos. That repeated title is gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of the day, isn't it? 8/10.
Track 6: Dime. That don't make no cents! *Smugly looks to the camera*. That's...all I have to say about this track. Not knowing Spanish really limits what I can say about this album. There's only so many times I can say "Music good" before it sounds condencending. 7/10.
Track 7: Siembra. IS THAT FUCKING FLY ME TO THE MOON!? Apart from that musical flashbang, this song has a more noticable dour tone to it. You can still dance to it but expect to have the nervous sweats with how the pianos sound. 8/10.
Overall I was fairly surprised at the quality and consistency of this album especially for it's time. Dare I say I might re-visit it from time to time?
Favourite Track: Plástico
Least Favourite Track: Pedro Navaja.
Overall: 8/10 (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
#6: Marvin Gaye - What's Going On.
I think this is the one album I have not heard a single bad thing about. If the internet music community ever claimed a "perfect" album, this would be that album. I won't be as lenient however. If this album pisses me off I will let it know.
Track 1: What's Going On. Ooh this is fun. The vocals sound empowering and exciting and the chorus is an earworm. Wowie this is a good opener. 8/10.
Track 2: What's Happening Brother. Marvin seems very confused with these track titles. Another pretty decent track. Nothing really to complain about but also nothing really noticable for me at least. Also finally the most popular track isn't the worst. 7/10.
Track 3: Flyin' High (In The Friendly Sky). Fitting title as this shit is making me levitate. Also is it just me or does this production remind me of some of Tyler, The Creator's songs like FIND YOUR WINGS or November? 9/10.
Track 4: Save The Children. I can't believe Marvin Gaye predicted Generative AI being used in schools. Jokes aside this song resonates with me something different. I grew up in time to watch all my favourite childhood places. Swimming centres, local parks, food markets, corner stores. All either reduced to rubble or just another boarded up building on the high streets. This song reached into my soul and revived something in me. Save The Children. 10/10.
Track 5: God Is Love. GOD IS GOOOOD! GOD IS GREEEAT! GOD IS GOOOOOD! 7/10
Track 6: Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology). How could an album so happy and jovial sounding be telling me "Yo, ya'll fucked up and humanity's gonna die in a hundred years once I'm gone" at the same time? 9/10.
Track 7: Right On. There are few songs I consider rewarding of a 7+ minute runtime. Acrid Avid Jam Shred by Aphex Twin. I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles.
Track 8: Wholy Holy. Now he's just ripping off Geordie Greep. SMH. Jokes once again aside this track isn't doing much for me at all. It's just kinda...meandering. 5/10.
Track 9: Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler). The most serious sounding song on the album. Kinda an odd choice to end the album on a mostly dour note after several tracks of hope and encouragement. Still a good track though and probably my favourite sonically. Just kinda of a weird note to end the album on. 9/10.
Overall I can see why this album is so praised and beloved. With only 1 real dud in it's whole tracklist I can see myself coming back to this frequently.
Favourite Track: Save The Children
Least Favourite Track: Wholy Holy
Overall: 9/10 (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)
#7 - The Human League - Dare!
From what I see this album is a bit of a one hit wonder with said hit coming at the end. I've looked at a few one hit wonder albums. Gotye's "Making Mirrors" for example. I'm eager to see if any of these songs will match up or even surpass the big one.
Track 1: The Things That Dreams Are Made Of. Some of the synths in this track sound like someone doing karaoke in a factory workspace. Despite that I like this opening. Especially that earworm chorus. 7/10.
Track 2: Open Your Heart. This time the synths remind me of Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick track. Not too sure if I like this one as much. 6/10.
Track 3: The Sound Of The Crowd. C'MON, C'MON, C'MOOOON! GHOST TRAIN! This might just be my Gorillaz bias coming in but I love this track even without Damon. No lie I might actually prefer this original song over Ghost Train. 9/10.
Track 4: Darkness. We move on from Ghost Train to Kiss From A Rose followed by Elstree. Thankfully I also liked Elstree. I especially like the deep synths in this song. I dunno why. It just tickles my brain right. 8/10.
Track 5: Do Or Die. Not much to say here other than the fact this is almost an instrumental song apart from the vocal bridges. It's alright. 6/10.
Track 6: Get Carter. ...huh? I'll just count this an an interlude. Interlude/10.
Track 7: I Am The Law. This is a creepy fucking sounding track. Holy shit the creeping speed of the song followed by the drawn out vocals gave me fucking tingles. 8/10.
Track 8: Seconds. Probably my least favourite of the songs so far. All the others had at least something to grab my attention and hold it but this one was just nothing. 4/10.
Track 9: Love Action (I Believe In Love). Woah. I really like that fast portion near the middle of the track. It was short but enough to pull me back into the last section of this album. Apart from that yeah this is another pretty average song. 6/10.
Track 10: Don't You Want Me. The one-hit wonder I mentioned and...eh? It's fun. I can see why it's popular but...I dunno. Maybe I just hyped myself up for something more grandiose? 5/10.
Overall: This album was a fun time even if it did slow down considerably in the second half. Don't know if I'll come back to it but I am def taking a few tracks back home with me.
Favourite Track: The Sound Of The Crowd.
Least Favourite Track: Seconds.
Overall: 6/10 (⭐⭐⭐)
#8: Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue.
This is another genre first for me. I've never listened to a country album in full before mostly because I'm not American so most of the talk of Stars & Stripes, Land of the free and all that shit doesn't apply to me. Needless to say this is another album I'm not looking forward to but I've been surprised before.
After listening to about 4 songs, I'm not gonna do my typical track ranking as there's 15 tracks and the 4 I've heard are all pretty much the same. Unoffensive yet repetitive lyrics and acoustic production. I doubt if anything will catch my eye or ears but I'll let you know.
Track 5: Hoodoo Voodoo. WHAT THE FUCK WHERE DID THIS COME FROM!? This is...this is an actual fucking song! Right after I was ready to say this album was all in one ear, out the other. 9/10.
Track 9: Christ for President. On the contrary, this is one of the most corny and annoying songs I've heard. It reminds me of one of my least favourite songs OAT. Joe Hawley's "The Apalogue Of Hot Rod Duncan". 1/10.
Track 14: Another Man's Done Gone. Another TH song comes to mind for this one. Just Apathy. I actually like that song and so I like this song too. 7/10.
Overall: Yeah apart from a few tracks, this album was in one ear, out the other. I'll forget about most of it by the end of the week probably.
Favourite Track: Hoodoo Voodoo
Least Favourite Track: Christ for President.
Overall: 3/10 (⭐⭐)
#9: Cydni Lauper - She's So Unreal. Looking at te tracklist I only know one of the songs here despite 2 of them having over 1B streams. I'm actually eager to see what this album has in store.
Track 1: Money Changes Everything. The fucking harmonica break made me laugh, I don't know why. This is just a fun song. I really fuck with it. 8/10.
Tracl 2: Girls Just Want to Have Fun. This is another fun song though the ending def drags on a bit. 7/10.
Track 3: When You Were Mine. Not as interesting as the other songs on the instrumental front but the vocals are amazing. Like goddamn. 8/10.
Track 4: Time After Time. Okay I've heard this chorus before but not the rest of the song. This is just a cute love song. Nothing really more to it. 6/10.
Track 5: She Bop. Why did the beginning of this song make me think of a SiIvagunner Puzzle Room rip? I don't know what else to say. Just another fun song. 7/10.
Track 6: All Through The Night. Another fun song though this one does have significantly more energy to it than Time After TIme. 8/10.
Track 7: Witness. This song just got kinda annoying for me after a time. Probably because the hook is just so short and gets repeated so many times. The only track on the album I just don't like so far. 3/10.
Track 8: I'll Kiss You. This song tries to be so many things at once. Depeche Mode MIDI production, early Beach Boys backing vocals, Never Let Me Down snare drums, seriously why is the snare so loud? This might be one of my new examples of a song so bad it's good. I can't help but love it for it's shitty production and over-performing vocals. 7/10.
Track 9: He's So Unusual. Ragtime interlude? Fuck it, why not? After that mish-mash of whatever the fuck I'll Kiss You was I'm ready for anything. Interlude/10.
Track 10: Yeah Yeah. OIII LOOOOVE SUUUSHIIIIII! That made me break. The last 3 songs of this album is just pure early 80's chaos and I love it. Seriously what the fuck is up with the fucking Betty Boop voice? I love it. 9/10.
Overall: OII LOOOOVE SUUUSHIIIII! (Sorry that's gonna be a new vocal stim. Lmao)
Favourite Track: Yeah Yeah.
Least Favourite Track: Time After Time
Overall: 7/10 (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
#10: The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.
Listening to this album while playing Burnout 3: Takedown, let's fucking go lads.
Track 1: Fight Test. Huh. Not the sound I was expecting based on the album art and title. Sonically it sounds...hopeful? Almost happy, really. Maybe Burnout wasn't the best choice for this. Lmao. 8/10.
Track 2: One More Robot / Sympathy 3000-21. Have ya'll ever watched "the gmod stream"? The opening of this reminded me of the "We Will Be Together Soon" medley at the end of redman's lament. Apart from that I really love the instrumentation on this song. Especially the almost Linkin Park guitars with a minute left into the track. 9/10.
Track 3: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 1. YEAH KICK THEIR ASSES YOSHIMI! 8/10.
Track 4: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 2. Fuck the robots won. 8/10.
Track 5: In the Morning of the Magicians. The drums, the fucking cut and chopped DRUMS. They were in the previous track I think. This album's gonna re-awaken my percussionist phase, ain't it? 9/10.
Track 6: Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell. For such an intimidating and scary title, this is an oddly chill track. Then again this whole album has been oddly chill apart from a few specific moments. Nothing much else to say. I'm playing Simpsons Hit & Run now. 7/10.
Track 7: Are You a Hypnotist?? The drums be drumming. Also one of my favourite endings to a song probably. 9/10.
Track 8: It's Summertime. It's October, dipshit. /j. This is probably the only track on the album so far that doesn't do much for me. Especially with the fucking door stopper ending. Just sounds...dated? 6/10.
Track 9: Do You Realize?? ...okay? I don't have much else to say about this track. I get called beautiful and reminded that I'm gonna die some day. Cool. 6/10.
Track 10: All We Have Is Now. I'm having less and less to say about each of these tracks. Music good I guess. Very calming. 7/10.
Track 11: Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia). The first 10 seconds reminded me of Tyler, The Creator's Tell Me How It Is. I always love a good instrumental closer, letting the album end by speaking for itself. 9/10.
Overall: Yeah. Don't have much to say. Great album.
Favourite track: In The Morning of the Magicians
Least Favourite Track: It's Summertime
Overall: 8/10 (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
#11 - Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run.
My first 1 star album on this website was Nebraska by Brucey boy and now I already have Born To Run. I wanna run away from this album already and I haven't even pressed play yet. Let's just get this shit over with.
I'm not gonna do track-by-track reviews for this album either because I already know I'm not gonna enjoy most of it.
Yeah. I got nothing. This wasn't as sufferable as Nebraska because it had generally more energy but Bruce...just ain't the guy for me.
Favourite Track: Born To Run (I guess)
Least Favourite Track: Jungleland
Overall: 2/10 (⭐)
#12: The Clash - Self-Titled.
Finally an album I'm excited for. I've not listened to anything from The Clash but I've heard good things from their punk rock fans. I'm expecting to hate the government significantly more after this.
1: Janie Jones. The opening of this track reminded me of Hybrid Moments by The Misfits and if you're reminding me of that, you're doing something good. 8/10.
2: Remote Control. This song sounds like it can't decide on whether to be The Beatles, David Bowie or Franz Ferdinand. It just sounds kinda like a mess of styles. 4/10.
3: I'm so Bored with the U.S.A. Yeah alright. A bit repetitive but still fun. 6/10.
4: White Riot. That is...a title. The actual song is ok. 5/10.
5: Hate & War. I really like the lyrics of this song. "I hate all the English men" really resonates with me. 7/10.
6: What's My Name. Slim Shady. 6/10.
7: Deny. A simple song about a liar and them getting called out for it. It's alright. 6/10.
8: London's Burning. Hope the fire department picks up London Calling. I actually really like this song. From the slurred, almost comically aggressive vocals to the catchy guitar chords. 9/10.
9: Career Opportunities. Another Misfits-esque song. Not as good as Janie Jones but still pretty decent. 7/10.
10: Cheat. "The only way to win is to cheat" - George "Gaming In The Clinton Years" Wood. 7/10.
11: Protex Blue. Nothing much here. 5/10.
12: Police & Thieves. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE!? This song did not need to be 6 minutes long. It's annoying. 2/10.
13: 48 Hours. 48. 48. 48 -HOURS- I get it in. This is another song that gets repetitive really quickly. 4(8)/10.
14: Garageland. This one is funny. 6/10.
Overall I kind of rushed the latter half of this review as today was a real busy day.
Favourite Song: London's Burning
Least Favourite Song: Police & Thieves.
Overall: 5/10 (⭐⭐⭐)
13: Paul McCartney & Wings - Band On The Run.
I'm not entirely sure what to expect from this album. Some Beatles-esque shenanagains are my best bet.
1: Band On The Run. Not my favourite Paul song. I really liked the second section though. 7/10.
2: Jet. Holy shit the bass on this track. It's heavy and deep for an album from 1973. I kinda love it. 9/10.
3: Bluebird. McCartney Bossa Nova is not something I knew I needed. I kinda love it also. 8/10.
4: Mrs. Vendebilt. Why did Paul fill the room with laughing gas at the end? Why is he evil like that? 4/10.
5: Let Me Roll It. Oddly gospel-like for a Beatles solo project song. I'm gonna sing the chorus whenever I see a friend rolling a joint and having trouble with it. 6/10.
6: Mamunia. It took me 10 seconds to write that song name so already off to a bad start. As for the song itself...it's just kinda bad. Slow and uninteresting. 3/10.
7: No Words. 6/10
8: Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me) I didn't realise I hopped into a b-side of Random Access Memories ft. Paul McCartney a third into the song. I like the callbacks tho. 7/10.
9: Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five. Did Paul just start getting crazy head at the last minute and half of the song? He's getting straight TEETH! Jokes aside I really like how funky this song gets as well as the ever escalating outro. 9/10.
Overall: This is my favourite Beatles side-album so far even tho I've only listened to this, All Things Must Pass and McCartney II.
Favourite Song: Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five.
Least Favourite Song: Mamunia.
Overall: 7/10 (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
