Well, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't interesting. Boring. Dear God. But it was better than his first.

Not really a big fan of punk/punk pop/ whatever this is, but I really enjoyed the album. It was interesting, in a way that I really enjoyed. Never boring.

Plus... boobs.

My Rating: 5/5

Not bad. I knew what to expect from Paul Simon. It's pretty standard singer-songwriter stuff from the 70's. "Congratulations" at the end, like "Hey, good job, you made it through" was kind of funny.

My Rating: 3/5

This was wonderful. I loved the jazz-afrobeat fusion. Made me feel like I was in Miami again.

It's ok. It's pop, and a member of the Beatles. Not that I have any love for the Beatles. I'm not impressed. I've heard Band on the Run and Jet before, and I think maybe I listened to this whole album before, which tells you how much it stuck with me.

I think the version on Spotify is about six songs longer than it needs to be.

My rating: 3/5

I'll give her proper for keeping it up for an entire album. You know the yodeling music that makes the aliens heads explode in "Mars Attacks!"? Yeah, the whole album made me feel like that. Her high-pitched warble drove me up the wall. But I know it's historical and war-protesty, so I won't bash it entirely. It's just not my favorite thing.

She's got a beautiful voice, and a way of weaving a story. Definitely belongs on the list. At least something by her. Nothing on this album grabbed me, but I wasn't bored listening to her.

My rating: 5/5

Bland 60's country rock(?). Roots rock? I dunno. Nothing grabbed me. Just another boring album. Maybe back then it was attention grabbing.

It's clear this guy is talented. VERY talented. For me, this is akin to listening to Joe Satriani or Steve Vai. Very talented musician noodling away on a piano. BUT... piano never did anything for me.

Sheer musical talent: 5/5
Good music: 5/5
Would I listen to it again?: Probably not.
Should it be on the list?: Maybe not, but I'm glad it was.

My rating: 4/5

The whole album feels very surreal. Like... you're listening along, and it's weird, but it keeps pulling you along like you wanna see the weirdness around the corner, and it answers you with MORE weirdness.

Boring. Dear Lord so boring. I could have watched paint dry and it would have been more musically interesting.

It was ok. It's standard 70's rock. When you grew up with this sound, finding a standout is rare.

At first, I thought this album should have come with a prescription for Paxil. By the end, I was in the groove. It all felt very depressing, but by the end the lead's deep voice was a droning layer for the melody to play against. Decent vibe.

I liked this journey into trip-hop, but I can see where people would say it sounds very samey. I did not like the cover they did of "Light My Fire". They made it their own, but it just didn't sound right.

Had me hooked at the beginning, but then faded off into light, lilty singer-songwriter stuff, and just bored me. It's ok.

As crucial as this album may be to American Music, being the last Allman Brothers album with Duane Allman, I can't. It's six hours of jazz rock. They're talented, sure, but... sorry.

5/5 for talent
1/5 because it's jazzy rock noodling.
overall: 2/5.

What the fuck are you doing here? This album was noisy and boisterous, and not always in a good way. It was ok, but The Kinks are treated on this list like the Beatles. Come on. I don't care if I ever hear The Kinks again.

Different. They sound like a downshifted Duran Duran, in tone and mood. Nothing jumped out at me as notable, but it's not an album I hate.

Were I feeling like I was super manic happy and needed something to bring me down to ground me, this might be an appropriate album. Dear God, this album needs to come with a prescription for Prozac. So melancholy, so down, so emo. No thanks. I don't listen to music to bring me down, the world does that enough for me.

Great if you're an emo fan, horrible if you're not.

No thanks,
1/5

Umm.... why?

This album is bland and boring. There was one song that had me tapping my foot for a second, and then nothing. I didn't even bother to look at the name of the song, it was boring. Just more '70's pop. BLAH!

My Rating: 1/5
