Listening to this one reminded me of driving around in the car with my grandfather when I was a kid visiting him for the summer. He was a huge Big Band guy, and this one took me back to then.
It's easy to tap your toe to it, and I was surprised by how much I liked it, mostly due to those great memories.
Rated 8/10
It's a good album, but it gets a bit weird in parts. High energy, which is great. A solid punk album, but not a perfect one.
Rated 4/10
I have no idea why this album is on the list. It’s not offensive or anything but it’s so boring. Not for me.
Rated 4/10
It's fine but I have no idea why I had to hear this before I died. It's good background music, but nothing more than that.
It's fine for a song or three. Not the worst country music I've heard. But damn, it gets super repetitive for a whole album.
I didn't realize this was a real album people listened to. It gets posted like a meme to vinyl collector boards like Herb Albert's Whipped Cream and Other Delights all the time.
Rated 8/10
The lyrics are pure poetry. The voice takes a bit to get used to. It's striped down production. I thinik the second half is stronger than the first, which is strange. I like this album, but it's not something I want to listent o all the time.
Lots of interesting things on this album. I actually really enjoyed it, and seeing the different directions it would go. I have a feeling this is one of those that you like more and more the more you listen.
Uneven is the perfect word. Some great things, some really not great things. It's fine.
Rated 4/10
This one surprised me. Half of the time I was wondering why I was listening to it. But then occasionally it would have a song that I really enjoyed. It's a strange album.
This is nowhere near as good as Superfly for me. It's alright, and I do like the funky basslines. But mostly non-offputting, but forgettable.
Rated 6/10
There's something about blues that just makes me thing of sitting outside, swatting the mosquitos away, and drinking a beer while the smoker is rolling and a big old pork butt is becoming pull apart tender. I don't know why blues music makes me feel this way, but it does, every time.
This album is just fine, though. Started off fairly strong, but there was a bit towards the end where I got a little bit more bored than I thought I should have.
I really enjoyed this album. Mostly loud and fast (but with a few slower songs that also are great.) No surprise that someone who likes Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys would like this one, too.
I liked this fine. I could hear some of The Cure in it and it was fine. Would maybe listen to it again, but not anytime soon.
Rated 4/10
Not for me. Just pretty boring overall.
Rated 8/10
This has been my favorite of the Byrds albums so far that we've gotten going through the list. Good stuff, very similar to early Beatles. I liked it,
Rated 4/10
I was surprised by how much I disliked this one. There is some Radiohead I like, OK Computer is fine, Creep is great. But I don't get this album at all.
Rated 2/10
Nothing good in here at all for me
Rated 6/10
I liked the bluesy bits, but they meandered sometimes and got boring at other times. Guitar work is good, and I liked that. Tom Waits is someone I won't listen to often, but if in the right mood, I can see putting this one on again.
These types of albums are the hardest for me to rate. There's no denying that it's good, she can sing, the songs are tight, etc. But I just don't like it. After a couple of songs I get bored.
Rated 8/10
This album, while almost 30 years old when I was in high school, takes me back there. We listened to it a lot during some of my sports practices, so it's nostalgic there.
It's not quite perfect, but it's pretty darn close.
