I want to like this but I didn’t love the lyrics (especially those from Jailbait…ew), and Lenny’s voice just isn’t too pleasant to listen to. So, needless to say I’m a bit disappointed.

One song was pretty good, but the whole album sounded like the same song 10 times. Sounds pretty, but way too monotonous for my liking.

Pretty funky and fun, has some solid classics throughout. A 13 minute long mostly instrumental track wasn’t too necessary though, in my opinion. Would round this up to a 4/5

Very comforting, and has a nostalgic vibe to it. Enjoyable, but get a little boring after a while.

Great background music, wasn’t too exciting. Didn’t really grab my attention much.

Sounds like something that would play at a swanky dinner on the upper east side. Liza Minnelli background vibes (not in a bad way). Feels sophisticated if that makes sense.

Never heard of this band/album before, but I enjoyed this! I really enjoy a lot of albums with this post-punk ish sound from this era. I would give this another listen for sure.

I am an absolute sucker for indie music from this era, and this is such a great concept album from that period. This has some of the best songs from Arcade Fire imo. I absolutely loved this.

A great album from one of my favorites. Life during Wartime is a classic and obviously the standout on this album.

Kind of obnoxious, but a bit campy and fun too. Not too keen on coming back to this one ever.

Decent 90s hip hop.

What a wonderful listen. I think this project is slowly making me more of a fan of funk/soul. It’s an actual crime this gem isn’t on Spotify.

I enjoyed the political messaging, but I find ska incredibly irritating. 3 stars bc I’m feeling generous

Aggressively fine. Nothing too good or too bad, just fine.

Not totally objectionable, but I really don’t think this needed to be on the list tbh.

I really enjoyed this! Aretha truly had one of the best singing voices ever. And this album has one of the most iconic sings ever, so this is just shy of 5 stars (only bc I thought her voice really shines in Lady Soul).

Getting Belle & Sebastian vibes from a lot of this. Which is fine, but the vocalist is also trying to do this higher pitched voice which really does not work for him. He should’ve stuck to a lower register tbh. Also, a lot of these songs sound very similar. 2 stars.

I had no idea that The Bee Gees had a pre-disco era. Apparently that’s for good reason, bc this was pretty difficult to get through. The vocals were sappy at best, and borderline unlistenable at worst. Feel like I could have died without listening to this and I would not have missed much.

Pretty good, I enjoyed the funk sort of style of this album.

Not my favorite from Queen tbh. The rock opera element was cool, but their later work is definitely stronger. Still a nice listen.
