Sorry Mark, this buttered no parsnips. It didn't click for me, and didn't vary much at all. Definitely serviceable, and it's the Rolling Stones, so... 2.5 rounded to 3. Not bad at all, but I'd not make a point to go back to it. :)

Also my friend Mark went to see the Rolling Stones on the 6th of July in Hyde Park

Rated 6/10

I like radiohead, but this felt like the dregs of Kid A - fine for background listening :)

I'm going to rant a bit because I'm unable to sleep and for some reason feel compelled to. This album is way better than it looked - and honestly... songwriting is fine, but what jumped out was ebow, delay tomfoolery, stuff that is out there by slick pop standards. It's safe music at surface level, but it got my attention - it felt like it got better towards the end and sounded more like a band. :) Happy to say this site gave music I wrote off a second try! :)

Rated 8/10

A nice comfy 70s jacket to sleep in - not unpleasant at all - 3.5, rounded to 4 as although it didn't set my mind on fire, it made me happy! :)

The fine blend of a wordsmith and xbox live's voice chat.

Skill definitely... but... ooh wowee look another edgy thing well done who's a good boy oh wow look another crime to rap about for the bingo chart oh wowee another group of people to pick on great job...

It got old rapidly. I get the idea, I just think it's aged like milk and is repetitive. That said, some bits were interesting underneath the surface level of edgyboi. I don't think I'll listen again but get why it's on the list.

Aw I'm so torn between 4 and 5, as I'd give Colour Shape a solid 5, and this isn't quite the same level to me? But then it's one human pouring lots into a short record and I'm a sucker for that sort of activity. Fiiiiiiine 5* life is too short to think too much on this! :)

So much better than I remembered! :) Nice, really creative musically, catchy and exactly what it says on the tin. :) I know it's not "real punk" or whatever, but I don't remember them saying it was :) I like it, and 14 year old me is pleased by this development. :)

Rated 4/10

Honestly... meh. I wanted to be happily surprised and I appreciate the guitar and production, but it feels... hollow and like someone trying so hard to be cool

Figure 8Elliott Smith

Rated 10/10

Utterly brilliant, I always feel a bit guilty listening to his music as it hits close to home and... knowing he didn't make it... great music

HysteriaDef Leppard

Rated 8/10

I'm two for two this week on music styles I usually dislike but actually enjoyed an album of! :)

Honestly a 4.5 rounded up for how out there and brilliant parts of it are, offset by it sagging a bit by the end John Lydon being a MAGA geek.

Nonetheless, if listened to through the eyes of 14 year old Adam... it's incredible and Keith Levene made me pick up a guitar in new ways... 5 it is :)
