Rated 6/10
This is a throwback to a more lush Bowie sound from the 70s. I feel like this is a lot more lyrically dependent listening, and includes a lot of guitar textures that just feel so.....old? Its a sound that feels both modern and dated. but that could just be where my ears are right now.
Rated 8/10
I can get behind the artistic sentiment behind this. and I think I finally enjoy Thom's vocal work as a texture. Is Motion Picture Soundtrack is a song i despirately want to hate but structurally its a nice release. Ok i will admit it i enjoyed this.
Rated 6/10
fine goth rock.
Breathy, epic, and saccharine. I hate how this album is mixed/mastered. Some good tunes, but a lot of the impact is blunted because of the mix.
Rated 6/10
Very iconic and groundbreaking for the genre, but personally not very invigorating. Loads of Parliament all over this record. Ain't No Fun is a bop.
Rated 6/10
Slick 90's dance party, and Groove Is In The Heart is pretty rad. But this is an album I would ned to be in a specific mood to jump into.
Rated 10/10
What a high watermark for blues rock and southern rock. The style doesn't get much better than as CCR slung it on this album.
Rated 8/10
I like this a lot, though I am a sucker for DnB.
Rated 4/10
eh. Why Are People Grudgeful is about the only track I was into.
Rated 6/10
A cool Mexicali sound. for me it was again something nice to be exposed to but I didnt find it special.
Rated 6/10
This is a cool history piece for me, seeing how other scenes were sounding in this time frame. I don't know that I would come back to this but I am glad to find it.
Rated 8/10
Really crazy and expiramental. Harry's House/Centerpiece needs a lyrical deep dive.
Rated 2/10
dude this blows.
Rated 6/10
Kind of like a knock off Jeff Buckley. Which honestly is a compliment; Jeff is great. 14th Street is great.
Rated 6/10
a solid groove all the way through, but basically too smooth.
Rated 6/10
A pleasant, beachy, smooth vibes only sort of record.
Rated 8/10
The Chili Peppers at the absolute apex of their sound. Interested to see how they deal with Californication being in the first third of the album. To me, every Chili Peppers album after Blood Sugar Sex Magik sounds played out, but they still have great singles.
Rated 8/10
The title track is good. Southern Man is like a better Alabama. I don't understand why I liked this so much. but I really enjoyed this.
Rated 4/10
meh she sound like she is doing a female elvis impression.
Rated 8/10
Spotify didn't have it so i have to listen on youtube. River of Orchids is cool. This is a real solid musical outting. I get a Steely Dan vibe from it, but not in terms of sound. In terms of craftsmanship. Greenman undercuts it, because the soundscape is just so generically "Arabic inspired". After that, it loses that shimmering quality that the opening tracks have, but still a very nice time.
