Rated 4/10
The lead singers voice is pretty bad. Like just talentless. he doesn't really sing, more rhythmically talks. All the other instruments play with different textures, and are pretty passable.

Cool piano forward jazz-pop stylings. A Gospel is fucking bullshit. Here's One That Got Away is very Goo Goo Dolls.
Really leaning into this staccato delivery. Artists Only grabbed me. This album is a great Talking Heads album, so I would revisit it. But a very reasonable person could just as easily pass on this. A fun listen, but not one to sell you on the Talking Heads imho.
Rated 8/10
I like the Gorillaz sound, its sort of a soothing low energy bleakness. Like walking in the rain. See Tomorrow Comes Today. Clint Eastwood and Rock The House are two great singles. A good album all round.
Rated 4/10
oh man. all the songs thus far are like the intros to songs that end up being just the songs. About halfway into Towers and I just want it to stop. Man this stinks. some of it is followable, others is just a wall of sound.
Rated 8/10
(S)he has great tone. The tone is that electro pop rock sound. a couple tracks in and im intrigued but not blown away yet.
Rated 10/10
This album is killer. Deacon Blues is a masterpiece. Peg is great. All these songs are awesome.
Rated 8/10
lots of 4 on the floor banging away. Time To Get Away has me interested. Someone Great was a radio hit. Watch The Tapes is another banger.
Rated 8/10
The opening is really slick heavy R&B. in the middle Lauryn really opens up her rap chops. on the whole its pretty good!
Rated 6/10
Well almost anything would sound good after Captain Beefheart. I thought This Year's Model was way better than this. Its fine, if pretty dated sounding. Its like a 50s rock star came forward into the future.
This album is going to be work. I hear Tom Waits in here. And there is no groove. its less songs and more every instrument floats in its own space and they sort of flex in and out of time with each other. It's anti-harmony. Wow Captain Beefheart was a terrible human. God this album is grating. She's Too Much For My Mirror is almost a song? There are several almost conventional songs but holy hannah is this an exercise in patience. The best part is when it ends.
Rated 6/10
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes is fun! generally a pleasant album, kind of forgettable.
Rated 4/10
Im not into this album. Dirty Mack is good, Check Yo Self is classic
Rated 6/10
Oh god. Imagine is a legitamately good and uplifting song that has been beaten to death by replays ever since it aired. Crippled Inside blows that away with a jangly, honky-tonk song about emotionally stunted. The feel of the first side is more of like a bluesy jam band kinda vibe, but without all the extra fluff. arrangment on I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier, Mamma is pretty open. Oh Yoko sucks ass.
Rated 4/10
Meh. Da Bitchez has the best groove but I hate all the lyrics. You Can't Stop the Prophet is a great song. In general there are a lot of other, better rap albums of the era out there.
Rated 4/10
Voodoo Child is a powerful blues songs and its goddamn forever long. Burning Of The Midnight Lamp is pretty good. Still Raining, Still Dreaming sucks.
Rated 4/10
Iconic, not heavy enough. also the vocals are way back in the mix and it generally sounds not great. super roomy sound that the angular sound just doesnt fit well in.
Rated 6/10
This is a nice respite from the rap of the era. The lyrics are comical and humorous. The sampling is slick and varied. Somehow I am just not in the mood for it this morning.
Rated 2/10
20 mins in and its just sort of in this space rock groove. Still haven't gotten it yet. half an hour in and i still don't get it and im really starting to not like it. seriously what the hell was that?
Rated 10/10
This album is a 5 just out of nostalgia alone. The way that Metallica was able to weave tension into their music was like a bomb going off in my tiny little brain.
