Rated 8/10
Compilation album! Cool rock sound on the front 1-2, Hate To Say I Told You So and Main Offender. Supply And Demand keeps the aggression up. Man this album is all fast, aggressive tunes.
Rated 4/10
Boxcars is a solid song, so is Jericho, though Cornbread Moon is just silly. Though this delivers on the promise of honky tonk for sure. I mean good god they say it enough in the lyrics.
Rated 6/10
This one is for getting the Led out occasions only. Should you listen to this in a garage with a beer in hand, you might ascend to nirvana. Otherwise, its just kind of a slog.
Rated 6/10
weird hipster alt stuff. each sonic texture of each song is concrete. I don't know that I connected with any of it. Yea this is an album for people with skinny jeans and roll their own cigarettes while talking about Andy Warhol. Helicopter was the fist track that I was able to sort of vibe with.
Rated 6/10
Going into this, I have always felt that this was the weakest album of the Metallica golden age, but lets see. I have to agree that the bass is almost inaudible and the mix is pretty dry. but the intro on And Justice For All is excellent guitar work. Eye Of The Beholder has a nice gallop intro and is pretty consistent. One is a real landmark of a song. Harvester Of Sorrow reminds me a lot of Pantera's Walk. Dyers Eve is fun.
Ok baby lets strap in for some early 70's drug fueled prog rock. The concept is totally bananas. The Sage is probably the least unhinged, but the crowd going nuts for The Old Castle is just so crazy to me. This is the soundtrack to a mad scientist lair, especially The Hut of Baba Yaga. What is with this crowd?! The Nutcracker track at the end is fucking awesome. What am I supposed to do with this album?
Rated 6/10
Its polyrythmic, poly tonal, and not afraid to let its freak flag fly. not my cup of tea but respect. very vampire weekend feeling.
Rated 8/10
The serendipity on this project continues, as I have had the most physically painful 24 hours of my entire life. Dont shave with dull rotorary razors children. This album has so many goddamn bangers. The really bad lofi synth samples are a little outrageous but its goddamn beyonce on this. She kills it. Though I am docking a star for the two god songs back to back. blegh.
Rated 6/10
meh
We won't make another record, and we didn't properly name the band, because a name is for a marriage. cool ethos for a super group. Northern Whale is a solid song. the drums on Three Changes are solidly wonky.
Rated 4/10
The music from this era just feels so dated.
Rated 6/10
This is some HOT new wave. The cheese tone on the title track is a little aggressive.
Rated 6/10
What even the heck. This was a.....shockingly bland album.
Rated 6/10
Omaha is a really good home town song. Very honky, much tonk.
Rated 8/10
What a fuzzed out modern yet classic rock sound. Someday is a great track. Last Night is another bop.
Rated 8/10
Heartfelt, atmospheric, and soft electronic textures and acoustic instruments. Cool little pop piece.
Rated 10/10
This is great. Its a super conditional rating but I am just vibing to the easy loops. There isn't anything too crazy happening in the sample work, just locked in grooves that make your body move.
Rated 8/10
Wow there is some really cool stuff in here. Like Heroes and Villians really goes all over with its arrangements. This album is wild. I honestly have no idea what to rate it. Good Vibrations after In Blue Hawaii is just nuts.
Rated 4/10
alrighty George, mi is kinda off with the vocals in the back but maybe that will figure itself out. This sounds a lot like an extension of Sargent Peppers. And if thats your thing, this album is like a goldmine. I'm sort of ambivalent on the thing. I am absolutely taking a star for making me sit through the Jam session.
Rated 8/10
This is cool and hits the right spot with me. Spanish Main is a strong opener.
