This was pretty funny to me, kind of felt like Muzak and/or lounge music. Just pretty cheesy. Enjoyable enough but I will not be revisiting.

Rated 8/10

Super excellent vibe with this on a road trip. Listened to it a couple times and really enjoyed. Air is great.

This project lulled me in to a false sense of security. It had been so long that I figured I was done with both The Smiths and Morrissey, but then BAM! Here we are. This was absolute trash which is not at all surprising.

Was unfamiliar with War the group, but looking in to it more, I'm familiar with a handful of their songs without knowing who they were by. This album was a great vibe and a great listen. Recommended.

I have always thought Lucinda Williams seemed pretty sweet. Definitely has some very good songs, but might not be fully for me. That being said this album was great and I really enjoyed it, and it's obviously excellent.

Rated 6/10

This was really something. Sometimes it was interesting and noisy and sometimes it was very annoying 90s power pop.

Everything about this is pretty and smooth. It's soothing and melodic and it's a nice thing to listen to. Obviously talented, but this is not something that I am all that interested in.

Rated 10/10

Incredible album from the late great Steve Albini. Always a blast listening to this.

This was a pleasant surprise. Heavy 50s crooner vibe that reminds me of Elvis and Roy Orbison. Great production and great songs, just a lovely album.

A band I have never been interested in checking it. It sounds like its parts are better than its whole. Just feels kind of boring to me. Not my favorite at all.

Rated 10/10

I remember this band being a thing in the late 90s and early 2000s but never checked them out. Instantly I could tell this was going to be one of the more interesting and varied albums on this list. I listened to it a couple times today and it was great. Happy it's here.

This seems like pretty standard run of the mill 1980s R&B which is to say it's fine, but definitely not for me.
