I am really digging Cherry-coloured Funk. I am really digging this entire album! It was a great time!

I can't believe this guy made the jazz standard moondance! everything else is pretty forgettable and bullshit.
I like the concept. Country tunes in a big studio orchestra style. Worried Mind is a good one. Hey Good Looking is also great.
Rated 4/10
Brown Paper Bag is cool. DnB isn't really my bag but sure I can work to this. Digitial drags. Heroes is okay. This album is pretty dull and repetitive midway through with the occassional bright spot.
Rated 6/10
Ok Taylor. We have really come a long as way from country superstar. Blank Space is a hit but her lyricism is so....textureless? Its like if you took Hailey Williams, put her at like 90% output, and make her sing lyrics written by a toddler. Style I can get behind. I'm not super impressed with Out Of The Woods, though I am such a fan of Jack Antonoff normally. Shake It Off kicks so much ass as a club banger, burn the house down tune. Bad Blood is a song that I want to dislike but it's fine and enjoyable, though jesus her lyrics are so damn bland. Wildest Dreams I think is the first track on the album where there is this distinctive texture that is definitively Taylor, and it feels like her voice as a performer stands up to the task of carrying a pop song on its shoulders. I Know Places sounds like a rejected Linkin Park song. Man, I am conflicted about this album. When it is good its great and when its not good it sucks hard.
Rated 8/10
Green Shirt is killer. Everything feels so right in the pocket and Elvis has this iconic singing style. The snare on Sunday's Best is like a gunshot.
Rated 8/10
BB is so dynamic on this record. Its a lot closer to a rock and roll record. I have some room in my heart for the king of blues I guess.
Rated 8/10
I'm here for this song Bluebird Wine. It's kind of amazing that this is an album of almost all covers, but it's counted as a debut. Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down is a fun one. Queen Of The Silver Dollar is solid. The bonus tracks are killer.
Rated 6/10
This is a lot of energy and noise that doesnt seem to get anywhere. Its not that it doesn't sound fine, it just leaves me flat.
Rated 8/10
I'm into this. very 70's sound. Piano Joint is great tune. Hero is another one. An album that is worth a re-listen, as it kind of went just above my head.
Rated 8/10
This albm is great. A real slick cool groove soul record that always feels like it is driving towards something, even with only 4 songs and a 45 minute runtime. The extended story telling of this songwriter is a little boring though.
Rated 6/10
This kind of feels like I am listening to Steven Tyler. Its a fine album, even thrilling in parts. I just think its not my thing.
Rated 8/10
Yea I like this sound. I can clearly see its influence in King Gizzard, and its a cool rock opera sound. Defecting Gray is H E A V Y but is a bonus track.
Rated 8/10
I feel like I am listening to my mom's music. Bruce Springsteen sings powerfully about an America in decline, but rather than do anthing about it or offer some hope as to how to fix anything, he can't abandon his framing of one man versus the system and the system wins. His music is good his message sucks ass. Glory Days is a perfect example. His lyrics are all about repression, regression, yearning, and loss. He stirs a pot hoping to have a listener respond and fill in the gaps. It's effective, but i don't like it. It feels like I am being dragged through living all my worst moments.
California Dreamin' is like a song out of a collective memory. Spanish Harlem is a creepy as fuck song. Its a fine 60s record.
Rated 6/10
Yea sure this is music. Pleasant even.
Rated 2/10
Fuck this racket.
Rated 10/10
An album I am pretty familiar with, and an interesting double header with Born In The USA. Mr. Brightside is a slick hit. All These Things That I've Done is another one. This whole album is one hit after another, so smooth and polished it's like an orb. Ponder the ORB!
Rated 4/10
Great a bunch of hippie dippy bullshit. the stereo guitar is fun on Friend Of The Devil. I hate all the gang vocals. So I am surprised that i am not actively pained by this music like some other 1 star albums which is a major positive. This is still a bunch of dumb bullshit songs that i would rather not be forced to listen to, but its more an annoyance if anything.
Rated 10/10
Thrash me. This is a great album! The recording is clean, the guitars are shreddy, Tom Araya sounds like a heavy metal priest.
