WhateverAimee Mann

Rated 6/10

Alanis Morissette wishes she was Aimee Mann. The first half of the album is a bit samey, but the second half slows things down and there’s some good tracks. Left me hoping to hear more of her on this project.

Cool concept of blending music with sound effects and poetry, but a lot of it ends up being jammy nonsense. Lenny kills it on bass tho.

Every song is way too long and WAY too repetitive. They pick a short little two-beat riff and just repeat it for 5 minutes. There are a couple nice vibes, but they get annoying after so much repetition.

The first half is some of the most generic Imagine Dragons-type shit I’ve heard. The second half saves it a bit by having some guitars and some riffs.

Wow! Did not expect to like this so much. I always thought Alice Cooper was kinda corny, but the deep cuts go hard. A lot of sneaky good bass lines, and some killer vocals. Also great variety of styles and tones.

Rated 6/10

Infinitely better than the first Pere Ubu album I got. This one contains actual music! The dude’s voice is so terrible though.

Rated 6/10

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Nice vocals with a Daft Punk vibe in the music. Better pop than other stuff that was coming out around the same time.

Rated 4/10

I get that it wouldn’t really be punk if the singing was any good, but it’s just soooo bad. Grating to listen to.

Rated 8/10

Very vibey. A lot of the songs all hit the same tone, and the falsetto also gets a bit repetitive. Killer production though, and of course great bass work.

Not as heavy and raucous as the reviews would have you believe. The tracks all sound thin, and the songs are all pretty generic in form.
