The CarsThe Cars

Rated 8/10

Very strong. Just great musicianship and although it does feel like rock from that era, they very much have their own sound.

The Joshua TreeU2

Rated 8/10

I can see why a lot of people love this. Great atmosphere throughout and you have to say the vocals are pretty impeccable.

Not as hooky or poppy as their best stuff. Really well produced and great sounding, just not that memorable for me.

Rated 8/10

Very good album. Emaculate and captivating guitar playing over some Latin beats and riffs.

This is really cool. Incredible voice with immaculate arrangement. Interesting subject matter. What's not to like?

I heard so many other (21st century)bands in this album it was incredible. What influence.

Pretty good music as well, not entirely my bag but still enjoyable.

I listened to the first 22 minutes of my way to work... grey, cold and it the music didn't do much.

I listened to rest after work, in the sun and the music came to life.

My ADHD brain really liked this in parts. The music purist in me not so much.

But I guess it was cool overall. Not as good a use of sampling as Discovery by Daft Punk.

Rated 10/10

Great performance and production compared to other LR or VU stuff I've heard. Amazing songs bump it up from a strong 4 to a definite 5.
