If you are up for come handdrumming, boy you have come to the right place.

Ugh I'm really not about this gloomy ambient coldplay knockoff sound. This generic washed out guitar tone just grates at me. Nighttime is a passable song.

Some English electronica. Heat Miser is cool, Protection is cool, the rest is just mid.

meh.

Human Behaviour didn't do much for me, but I can dig the hook on Crying. This is a really tame Bjork album by the standards of her others, with things being relatively straightforward beats and recognizable song structures. You can see the start of her expiramentation with the medium, but its just a glimpse. The back half of the album is kinda stale. Violently Happy is probably my favorite track on the album, but the rest of it i dont care either way.

This has kind of a Blur vibe, which is pleasant. In fact all this aims for is pleasant. One Of God's Better People has some nice acoustic guitar work.

Pretty Hurts is a lackluster tracks because of the hook, but I am digging the sonic landscape queen B is putting out. Haunted and Drunk In Love are killer, though I think Jay-Zs verse in it is weak. Blow rocks, No Angel is an impressive vocal line but I'm not taken with the song. Partition is fine but Jealous is so good. Rocket is so good! She is so masterful in her control of rythmic dissonance. Heaven is minamilist lyrics wrought to devasting effectiveness. what a killer record.

This is kind of a cool concept. like a melting classic golden age of hollywood soundtrack. I am feeling this album this morning, its a fun ride!

I can tell there is something deep in here. Wake Up is a good tune. That closer was so powerful, this is worth a deeper dive.

This really failed to move me in any meaningful way.

oh boy more electronic noodling, my favorite! Harry Flowers is a good track. nice music to dissassociate to, not really listen to. like the elevator music from outerspace.

This is pretty Krauty. god its so stylistically pure. I am feeling pretty spent about halfway through Lauft... Heisst Das Es Lauft Oder Es Kommt Bald..Lauft. It's A Bit Of A Pain is a real fucking stinker of a song because of the damn drone.

Come To My Aid into Sad Old Red is a really weird transition. This album is this really weird bland mashup in this 90s fashion. Money's Too Tight (To Mention) is just the most 90s song you could imagine. This kinda sucks.

This is really mid.

fuck yea. and Flea was a bass player on this?! Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of) really feels like the album is in full swing, but then immediately drops back. The obsessions with swinging 3s makes for a rythmically engaging sound. This album has a much more approachable sound than something like Francis The Mute. Eriatarka is my favorite track so far. Cicatriz Esp has this weird downtempo ambient section that just feels like a filler. The back end of Take The Veil Cerpin Text also feels a little languid.

New Stone Age opens the album on an interesting note. There is this pervasive atmosphere permeating these songs. Even upbeat ones like Souvenir have this wispy, ghost like textures. The banging on an empty grain silo at the end of Sealand is really tonally upsetting because its just so damn loud. the rest of the album is sort of a wash out for me.

Blitzkrieg Bop is the bone marrow of every punk song. Beat on the Brat is a great follow-up. This whole album kicks ass in that old school cool way.

I'm up for some french accordian music this morning. This is very forceful, french is being sung in such a muscular way. It's both refreshing and surprising. Tango Funèbre is a standout track.

This is a Kings Of Leon record alright. They have never done much for me other than Your Sex Is On Fire, and this album so far is not doing much to change that. Their rock and roll is fine, but the lead singer sounds like his mouth is full of mothballs. What a bland time.

Man to go from such a high to such a low. Fuck. Frank. Sinatra. Though it is very gratifying to hear him sing songs about him being a sad mopey piece of shit. halfway through and the novelty has left and I am just trapped in a cage with frank sinatra music.
