Reviews

Rated 8/10

This is a good record and I enjoyed it

Rated 4/10

Holding On sounds like a Bruce song if Bruce was doing a Bob Dylan impression. *yawn*.

Rated 4/10

Is this what the album by The War on Drugs sounded like on the main list? I genuinely don't remember anything about it except that it was dreadfully boring. This one isn't very interesting either, but I suppose I don't hate it? I don't know, I don't really care for Bruce Springsteen, but I especially don't care for this kind of Springsteen worship, either.

Rated 10/10

One of my favourite bands discovered through this 1001 albums exercise. I loved the album included on the original list (Lost in the Dream), and I love this one too. Thanks to the OP for including it! These guys remind me so much of Tom Petty/Bob Dylan/Don Henley/Adam Baldwin. Right in the vein of music I really enjoy. This album is a gem!

Favorite songs: Pain, Nothing to Find, Strangest Thing, Up All Night, Clean Living, You Don't Have to Go

Least favorite songs: none

5/5

Rated 4/10

Who gave Bruce Springsteen all the heroin.

Rated 5/10

Not as good as the one on the main list. Seems like it'd be good nighttime driving music, if that were a hobby of mine.

Rated 8/10

I could have sworn this was on the list! If not, it probably deserves to be

Rated 10/10

Top modern Dad rock group, 100% should be on the list. I’m really into war on drugs so this is a biased 5.

Rated 6/10

Big sound drenched in reverb. These songs are long.
