Some easy reggae. Burden of Shame is great. Madam Medusa is also a bop.

Yep its metal alright. The back half had me more interested than the front bit. My Last Words has a pretty amazing bass line. This album is probably worth a revisit.
Rated 10/10
This is a perfect album.
Rated 6/10
The singer is perpetually out of tune but exudes aesthetic. The songs are great at evoking emotions, the the voice of the lead singer makes it feel like its an actor filling in for the actual lead singer.
Rated 4/10
What the fuck is Mother? The opening of this album is fun up to that song. Every Breath You Take is a creepy fucking song. Tea In The Sahara is cool.
Rated 2/10
This is very french. I'm pretty over this stupid record by track 11. This is such a boring ass record.
Rated 4/10
whatever.
Rated 10/10
Graceland the single fucking kills it. Gumboots is killer. Under African Skies slays. This album is so full of rich texture.
Rated 6/10
Subterranean Homesick Blues is a great song which Bob sounds great on. I don't like Maggie's Farm as a song.
Rated 8/10
This is a really fun album!
This album has me with a smile on my face, especially with the ska sections. I don't love how the lead singer sounds, but the grooves are punk and chunky.
Rated 10/10
I am digging the groove right off the bat. shit that started me on the third track! I am still digging the groove. THE PASSION OF LOVERS IS FOR DEATH!!! In Fear of Fear is another cool tune. Great album really toroughly enjoyed that.
Rated 8/10
The last nirvana album. honestly I can respect the process for wanting to take a newer, angrier, noiser sound than Nevermind. Takes artistic balls. I think that of the two, this is the better grunge album. I think I like Nevermind more personally, but the craftsmanship in this album is more evident. Radio Friendly Unit Shifter is a personal favorite track.
Rated 8/10
This album is a much looser concept album than the wall, though its trappings are so conceptual that its hard to pierce this morning after not a lot of sleep. Us And Them feels appropriately triumphant. Yea I just didnt get it. worth a relisten just for the culture around this album.
Rated 8/10
These are really fun songs! The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight is not my favorite single by them but its fine. EVERYBODY HURTS!!!! The back half of the album is a little wishy washy for me. Man On The Moon and Night Swimming are both killer songs.
Rated 4/10
A good old fashioned snooze of a country music record. Boring and dull with only flashes of fun ideas.
this reminds me a lot of the OG Oasis stuff. Why do all british alt bands seem to be cut from the same cloth? They are super dancable. Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But... is a standout track for me. If I heard this when it debuted, it would have been a 5 for me, but I'm a crusty old man now and its just a 4 this morning.
Rated 10/10
This is a great album. Kendrick's flow, story telling, and beat and rhythm work are all top notch. I too wish I could fuck the world for 72 hours. m.a.a.d city does a great job of spinning an engrossing yarn of a terrifying existence, and then totally flipping the atmosphere less than halfway through. A story of violence, redemption, and retrospection. Wow.
Rated 8/10
Fats sounds great! This is a great album to reset and come back to ground on core rock and roll sound. The relentless blues changes sort of start to grate on me after a while but thats the blues.
Rated 2/10
Ok side 1 is kinda bullshit. Side two is a more Steely Dan vibe, just without the goove. It's like someone put music of the era and put it in a blender and then portioned it back out. The really banal hooks are what kill me, see "Saving Grace". Black Maria sucks. This album sucks and it will not leave. This part 4 is like souless Billy Joel and that is saying something.
