Pink FlagWire

Rated 8/10

pretty good stuff for the time. much more post punk than i expected based off the few songs id heard before

a bit of a tough listen. theres a lot of good here, but some of it makes you wonder if the people who gave it the green light were also suffering a mental break.

this is the 5th album with morrissey that weve gotten. 3 solo and 2 with the smiths with one from each remaining. some have been better than others but for the most part they have all been really similar stylistically which makes me wonder why we need 7 of them on the list. bowie and the beatles also have a ton of albums on the list, and while i feel like both shouldve been trimmed down, those at least sound different from album to album. i guess my point is im tired of morrisey and im hopeful his last solo album has a different sound cause i know the last smiths album doesnt.

FuneralArcade Fire

Rated 2/10

in my review for the last arcade fire album i talked about how the title perfectly described my feelings for the album, likening boring and monotonous life in the suburbs to the equally boring and monotonous music. i think this album manages to accomplish the same feat with the name by making me wish it was my funeral so i wouldnt have to hear this drivel

great music and overall really enjoyable album. quite a few of the songs are entirely too long, particularly on the back half of the album

incredibly well done for a live album. you couldve convinced me he pulled a tom waits nighthawks at the diner and brought a "crowd" into the studio with how great it sounds. unfortunately the songs themselves are pretty boring and the album is overly long. i do love the talk box usage on do you feel like we do though

the majority of this sounds just like their other albums on the list. the music is pretty good but the vocals are annoying. i did enjoy the more dance oriented tracks since it changed things up a bit. the goodwill i had for those tracks is directly offset, if not overshadowed, by hatred i had for the tracks Paranoia Man and Light/Fireworks

SoPeter Gabriel

Rated 6/10

easily the worst of peter gabriel album on the list while still managing to be infinitely more interesting that anything ive ever heard by phil collins
