The energy is good on most of these tracks, but some are severely underdeveloped. More snippets than songs. Overall easy to listen to but not very inspired.

A masterpiece.

Never would have heard this if I hadn’t done this project. This one feels like a gift.

The title track is stellar, but alot of this album is pretty bland. Also it felt strange to hear this very white guys do a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “A Place in the Sun”.

A band I had heard of but never heard. Love the energy of this one! A solid wall of sound from start to finish! Where’s the mosh pit? I’m in!

Pretty standard Elvis fare. Good take on Fever. Whoever wrote the lyrics for “The Girl Next Door went A’ walking” should feel embarrassed

I saw that this 7 song album was 73 minutes long and groaned. But somehow, I vibe with most of it! This is going to be my strangest five star album, I can feel it.
I’ve been wanting to try shrooms and this seems like a good soundtrack.

Never heard of this guy before. I like the backing tracks! Smooth voice. Lyrics don’t do a ton for me but I don’t hate them either. Rap isn’t usually my thing. Apparently this is grime music, which I may have to explore because I’m kind of digging it. This is what makes this project great.

The energy of this album is just so good!
Brings back memories. This sounded like nobody else back in the day.
Almost a five. “Does Everyone Stare” is holding me back.

I suppose I’ll go back and listen to this again to focus on the lyrics. Musically it’s pretty dull on first listen. Trying to go classical with “There’s a World” really did not pay off.

Ok did the lyrics review. Fortunately “Old Man”balanced out the drivel of “A Man Needs a Maid”. And now I finally know what Lynyrd Skynyrd were so upset about.

This one’s a 2.5 for me. Heart of Gold, Old Man, and The Needle and The Damage Done will probably get me to give it a three.

Their high point. Includes some of the best songs ever written. Easy five stars.

This guy and his f*@$ing voice for almost an hour. If I give him two whole stars he can thank the harmonica, and the fact that he wrote Don’t Think Twice its Alright, even though I don’t like his performance of it.

This one I could have lived without. I guess it is added for the guitar work? The singer doesn’t seem to think staying on key is important.

I’m an old white woman so I am not the target audience for this one. But I can hear that he is speaking the truth of his experience. Hard to rate, because I don’t necessarily want to listen to it again, but I know it is quality.

Interesting album! I can definitely hear its influence in people who came after them. It’s not necessarily my jam, and would probably give it a 3.5, but I respect the musicianship and will round up.

Gram Parsons. Another very familiar name that i don’t think I had ever listened to before. Very California-style country-rock. I thought for sure it was Linda Ronstadt singing with him, but nope, Emmylou Harris. Very pretty. Hearts on Fire is my favorite track. Overall mellow and enjoyable.

She’s got some great lyrics and her voice is easy to listen to. The Queen and the Soldier is the highlight track for me. I’m not a big singer-songwriter fan, but this one was okay.

I confess that Rush triggers me.
In the 70s the boys in my high school used their boomboxes to blast Rush in the hallways every day for years. It was like a hostage situation. That high pitched vocal was not my jam. I admit that on this album there is less falsetto, but still.. I do not like Rush!

Beautiful harmonizing. Awful versions of Everybody’s Talking and Teach your Children.
I find their style can get monotonous

lol at first I thought there was something wrong with my internet connection or something? They drone in a way that sounds like static. I felt like I had to try hard to hear the melody. But the melody wasn’t interesting enough to be worth effort.

2018 French pop sounds alot like 1980s American pop. But that’s not a bad thing! Still, i can’t give full credit when you’re copying off of a 30 year old paper
3.5
