A bit confused about the inclusion. It is a good sensor of where modern pop is but I wouldn’t say it excels in any direction. It’s pretty unremarkable, if you wanted a duo to represent the era I would’ve gone with Halle & Chloe (2.5/5)

My introduction to post-Beatles Paul when I was a kid so I always have a soft spot when thinking about this album. However each time I listen the overt poppy sheen on a lot of these songs just don’t do it for me. Still a good album but I wish it kept more of its edginess. The bridge in the eponymous track is all time and makes me think of Paul in a Clint Eastwood western about to smoke some fool at high noon. Let Me Roll It is another all timer for vibes (3.5/5)

It’s Brat summer once again. I’m left the same as when I first listened. I see the appeal but the lyrics are so shallow and the pop club music is fun but nothing special to me. Not sure why it became a whole event

Rocks, need to dig into more Dinosaur Jr. sidebar is Dinosaur Sr. T Rex?

Every time I get a Morrissey album, and this week it was back to back, I lack the words for a deep review of the project. It sounded nice, his voice is nice, wow what a scumbag; rinse and repeat. Sorry I lack the eloquence

Bang on average

A hit parade followed by a walk through an early hip hop fun house. It’s cheesy and super dated but I enjoyed my time (3.5/5)

Really flowery tunes and singing. I was checked out by Endlessly where they had the brilliant idea to combine Silent Night with a spooky ooOOOoOoO ghost noise

Great and underrated band but I’d pick Time’s Up personally. Cult of Personality is an all timer though

Interesting mix of stuff on here but more of a background album

A banger with hits that will outlive us all and an energy that’s welcome any day. It lacks a little something something that I’d give the edge to American Idiot as their best but it’s a great album. The bass tone alone makes me smile (4.5/5)

Really cohesive but can be a detriment. I unknowingly played the expanded edition and got a few tracks in before realizing it was repeating (2.5/5)

Pretty plain and I suspect Boxer will be on here too. Maybe nix this one in a revision (2.5/5)

Aptly named because I associate this sound with better artists (2.5/5)

I suppose it was time I hit the ole dusty trail

I expected something harder and a little more raw. Solid album still but I wanted PUNK

My first favorite band and eventually first concert. Yeah it’s dated and cheesey but nostalgia plus the admitted fun it is to belt out some of the larger than life choruses still hit now. Is anybody out theeere, anybody theeeeeeere. C’mon it’s fun. A note listening as an adult, what a weird end to the album, must’ve left some people scratching their heads when the record stopped spinning. (3.5/5)

Simple tunes for my simple mind

A little too long but very chill and relaxing. The drums and synths used really had me nostalgic, they made me think of playing Ratchet & Clank as a kid and how the planet themes would sound so futuristic but homey. Like 90’s/2000’s futurism in production form (2.5/5)

I’m pretty inexperienced with Dead compared to their catalogue but I like jamming and I like long songs (big prog fan). The first song is that meme about Radiohead tuning their instruments though, it wasn’t even much of a jam it just kinda existed. The vibes are good on the rest of the album though
