Fun album...really makes me regret not seeing them on this tour. 4/5

I prefer older Low vs. this late, super scuzzy and loud Low. This was fine, but nothing I would really return to. 2.5/5

Solid jazz, but not that different than any other jazz of its type that I've listened to in the past. 3/5

Suprised that this is the go-to for Jimmy Buffet. Pretty standard Buffet fare. 2.5/5

Can completely see why this is one of the highest selling albums of all time. At times I can't unhear the whole Mutt Lange of it all...it does sound like an even more poppy Def Leppard. 3.5/5

Much better than I expected. Maybe it caught in the right place at the right time. Fun sound with great melody. Would be open to more in his catalogue. 3.5/5

Not my thing. It just sounded like really bad 90s alternative rock with the double whammy of the fact I couldn't understand it at all. 1.5/5

I like Oingo Boingo's sound, but it is a little too much of the same thing on this album. Could benefit from a little diversity. 3/5

I think this album generally gets a bump or two in people's mind because of the novelty behind the concept. That being said, the music is still interesting at times. 3/5

It was ok...probably better than I anticipated but nothing I would ever return to. 2.5/5

This one was super interesting...never had been on my radar before but very much ahead of it's time. Really fun. 4/5

My only exposure to Angelo was through his joint release with Sufjan Stevens in '21. Loved that one so surprised I didn't go and visit his catalogue. This was super moody, but for the right occasion it hits perfectly. 4.5/5

Decent...Ty Segall is always one that I go into a listen expecting to like more than what I do in the end. 3/5

Love BoC. Pretty timely that this one popped up on the day before the new release. While not quite as iconic as Music has the rights, this one has some great tunes. 4.5/5

Have always enjoys Johannsson...one of the better contemporary classical composers out there. Really enjoyed his recent Reqieum recording. This was solid, but not spectacular. 3.5/5

Better than I expected...but had REALLY low expectations. 2.5/5

Pretty weird...definitely a worthwhile listen. Glad I got exposed to this one. 3.5/5

Was able to cobble this one together from various sources. Decent enough...surprised that they are so unknown in the US despite their relative "bigness" in the UK where my only previous understanding was from a Teenage Fanclub lyric. Fun songs. 3/5

I really love some of the Breeders output, however I don't feel it holds up across full albums most of the time. Last Splash is no different...the highs are extremely high, but some of the middles really drag on. 3.5/5

Just absolute trash...listening to this actually made me angry via its sheer awfulness. Soulless, over produced drivel that has all the drawbacks of a top 10 pop album without any of the benefits. 1/5
