Kayleigh has some chops. Not really my thing.

What is happening on Thriller? I don't know. This is how the project ends? not with a bang but with a thud? oh well. Codex isn't the ending I wanted but I suppose it is a goodbye.

This is Kanye emerging as the complete public egomaniac celebrity asshole we know him as today. The first three songs are incredible though. Like who samples King Crimson on their lead single? The rhythm of his low on Monster is really good. Jay-Z is weak on Monster and So Appalled. Blame Game is good. Lost In the World/Who Will Survive In America also is cool, very rich in sonic texture. Wow an absolutely incredible & digestible album, that makes me feel very uncomfortable because this artist is a PRICK.

Meh.

WOW! Britney Spears AND Christina Aguilera albums in the same week? and a double album no less. Really leaning into her soul voice on this record. Understand is a good song. Side one was pretty solid. Candyman is a funk soul 'nawlins style pop song. the instrumentation is good. it was okay! the double album didn't feel like a slog but it wasn't really my thing either.

This album comes out SWINGING! Tasty slap bass grooves with a killer 80s pop silhouette. Wow the first brit pop album to blow me away in a long time.

This is cool sort of ambient vibe record. Though very evocative with its instrumentation. What an absolutely lovely stroll through the mountains!

oh lord. Well the nice thing is that I can exit this album any time after the 12th song. ...Baby One More Time is still a certified bop. and into (You Drive Me) Crazy has got to be one of the strongest pop 1 2s in the whole list of these albums. Sometimes is now the third song in a row about a distant/abusive lover and now its starting to get a little odd. I really commend Brittney for trying to go into a more soulful register with her voice. Born To Make You Happy? What the hell is this album? Some of the beats sound like they came out of a goddamn Casio keyboard. The Beat Goes On is a good cover. Autumn Goodbye is very bad.

Wow this is derivative, even for the late 80s. Yea, the Born To Be Wild cover is real shit.

Alright Amy, you are starting in a hole with a nod to Sinatra and the lyrics on Stronger Than Me expressing a phenomenally shitty sentiment. I Heard Love Is Blind is a funny song. Her talent is undeniable, especially with her fast soul scatting through her passagios on Moody's Mood For Love/ Teo Licks.

meh it is off to a very relaxed hip pop start. This is the Waterfalls album? okay cool. Andre 3000 on the last track! the guest spots are cool and the album has occasional flashes but is broadly a miss for me

I Wanna Be Your Dog has to be the hardest song to feature jingle bells. Real Cool Time delivers just that. Very cool and iconic.

Hell yeah. So solid all the way through. Paul Revere with the backwards high-hat. What an absolutely gold record stem to stern.

Ah more goofy brit art rock. The Day After The Revolution is fucking 15 minutes long? That's a docked star. AND ITS ONE CHORD HELD THE WHOLE TIME? you total clowns.

This is such a cool but absolutely DATED sound. My guess is that people shit on this because it sounds a lot like early Linkin Park. Those high bass pops! On My Hotel Tv is a fun track. I'm Not Afraid Sounds like a bible camp song, but otherwise a good and fun album that I enjoyed.

Pavement is one of these cult following bands before my time. Fame Throwa is cool. Jacks, False Grails: The Lonesome Era is also cool. This is cool garage rock but i don't see how these guys became a phenomenon on this.

The Scientisssssssstttttt. CLoooooccccckkkkssss. Honestly, two great songs. but I have heard them so much in my lifetime that I just don't need to hear them anymore for the rest of my life. Like why did Daylight get the shaft? Its got something more interesting sonically than either of the 2 smash hits.

Buffalo Stance and Kisses On The Wind are strong starters. Its got pretty strong pop chops, Next Generation, Heart. A really solid album!

Its like a sonic mashup of Prince and Elvis Costello. Mr. Cab Driver sounds like a demo tape from some punk kid in his garage. Wow this is really not good. Rosemary is a big pick back up, and then it goes into a bunch of god shit. ugh this was very not good, and I'm tempted to dock a star for the diet prince approach, though its not his fault for being multi-instrumental.

Song 2 has such a ballsy bass tone. crazy that a song just over 2 minutes could be so fucking sonically COMMANDING. Chinese Bombs is also another strong track. There is a lot of experimentation in sonic landscapes on this album, but a lot of the low tempo stuff just doesn't do it for me.
