Rockabilly mixed with blues and punk. Interesting concept, but failure to execute.

The album title tells it all about how enthused I am to have to listen to it. It's just more generic Madchester shit that doesn't really translate on this side of the pond. It's not bad, it's just.....lame.....

Another vanilla album by Steely Dan. At least this one has Reelin' In the Years and Do It Again on it. Of the 4 Steely Dan albums I've listened to on this generator, this one (their debut) is their strongest.
Favorite songs: Reelin' In the Years, Do It Again, Dirty Work, Kings, Midnite Cruiser
Least favorite songs: Brooklyn (Owes the Charmer Under Me)

Before today's album, the only Butthole Surfers song I knew was Pepper, which is a solid song. This album was 95% noisey garbage with "Human Cannonball" stuck in the middle. Human Cannonball is a really solid track, the rest of the album is largely unlistenable. Fuck I hate noise rock. If you have no talent, don't waste my time.
Favorite songs: Human Cannonball, 22 Going On 23, Kuntz
Least favorite songs: The O-Men, U.S.S.A., Graveyard, Pittsburgh to Lebanon, Weber, Hay

Top tier 90's hip hop. Absolutely phenomenal.
Started listening to this album and was immediately reminded of Pineapple Express where Dale Denton and Red are gearing up to take on the Chinese and save Saul.

I'm really not a fan of new wave. There are a few good songs on this album, but a lot of it is weird (Eno produced the record, so that explains that. He ruins everything he touches). Just another band that could be a clone of Talking Heads. Lame. And my fuck did they ever butcher the Rolling Stones song (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.
Favorite songs: Uncontrollable Urge, Mongoloid, Come Back Jonee
Least favorite songs: Too Much Paranoias, Jocko Homo, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Shrivel-Up

This is a weird one, as expected. It sounds like the last incoherent ramblings of a man slowly slipping into psychosis.....which is exactly what it is. There are some gems though amid the chaos of this album.
Favorite songs: Love You, Octopus
Least favorite songs: Dark Globe, Golden Hair, She Took a Long Cold Look, If It's In You, Late Night

Miles better than the first Elliott Smith album I reviewed (Figure 8), but still really not my thing. Sounds like it's recorded in buddy's bedroom, and it's just so mopey. Cheer up!
Favorite songs: Ballad of Big Nothing, Cupids Trick, Pictures of Me, Angeles, Alameda
Least favorite songs: Between the Bars, No Name No. 5

I put Billy Bragg in the same category as Bob Dylan. Love the music, love the message, hate the voice.

Off to the yacht club in my socks and sandals. Horribly white jazz rock. Not bad, but only in small spurts.

Solid talent, just not really my style. I missed the 80's craze by a few years, so the new wave fad does nothing for me. That's not to say Boy George isn't a huge talent, because he is, it's just, to me, one stellar song does not a good album make. There were so many of these albums in this timeframe (one good song, and a lot of filler). Ok album, but not something I would rush to listen to again.
Favorite songs: Karma Chameleon, Miss Me Blind, Church of the Poison Mind

I don't understand why Robert Dimnery has such a hard on for live albums. I wasn't there strung out on acid in the middle of a field, so I can't relate to the feeling of the day, or the flow of the jam sessions at all. So this album just decends onto boring acid induced noodling that has no structure. I get that Grateful Dead were a huge jam band beloved by many, but remove the drugs from the equation, and you're just left with a huge mess. I tend to like The Dead's studio albums, where structure and musical theory are applied and refined, but when cranked up on drugs and left to their own devices, they just flounder about and don't really achieve anything.
Live albums are a real gamble, because they either go really well, and the experimentation that is always present on live albums hits, or, as in this case, they fail, and you're left with a steaming dumpster fire. It's a shame, because it's a blemish on an otherwise perfectly good blues rock band.
Favorite songs: Turn On Your Love Light, St. Stephen
Least favorite songs: Feedback, Death Don't Have No Mercy
