This album is a real pleasure : a blend of different style, never realy boring with some bangers.

Favorite Songs: Sabotage

An iconic and yet boring album.

The album had a kind of psych sound on the guitar that is now very prevalent it's kind of interesting to ear that in an old album.

I started really bad when I noticed that it was more than 2 hours long then there was this ridiculous introduction. I'm bored already.

OK I get the appeal of mixing orchestral music and metal, but come on it does not have to be so long. Metal groups need to be kept on a tight leash or they are doing long songs for the sake of it ; this is an instance of it.

The whole album is a coherent blend of catchy poppy songs. The strings give it that vibe that will please anybody from the nerdy guy in the back of class to the super popular girl.

Also I sung on Everybody Hurts with the rock band of the school. Well I butchered it.

Favorite songs: Drive ; The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite ; Everybody Hurts ; Man on the Moon

How long is that drum solo for fuck sake?
Apart from that it was groovy and in the end not so boring.

The groove on Nowhere Fast is really catchy and redeems a bit the album. I am waiting (which means it's boring) to ear what Battlestar Stralatchica is about because with such a title it's a miss or a hit, no second guessing … and it's quite nice in fact.

Oh the guy sings again. He can die for all I care it will just make the albums more bearable. Oh yes please die. I will not support another "I Miss Youuuuuuu" and his whinny voices.

Yeah it's over. I still don't know if the OK songs will be enough to gain a second star.

Favorite songs: Nowhere Fast ; Battlestar Scralatchtica

A nice voice, some good songs but still a genre that get long quite quickly. It's better than the Trio album nevertheless.

Favorite songs: Coat of Many Colors ; Travelling Man ; Here I Am

This is hard rock humour. Peace dog is obviously a joke. I really don't think I needed to hear this before I die as this is the most generic hard rock band ever. But it's so cliché it borders on humour and thus it ends up being OK.

Favorite songs: Peace Dog

Some standard but although it's a short album it seems much longer than it is.

Favorite songs: Respect ; My Girl

It has some energy but I don't think it's an album I will go back to a part from the occasional random play.

Lots of energy but it did not really triggered anything in me.

WTF was the "A Visit to the gynecologist" lol. Do not listen that in the office.

Favorite song: No Awareness ; I'm destructive ; Wild and Crazy

Nope, I just didn't like that. It wasn't for me.

Meh, sometimes it clicked, sometimes it didn't.

This album sounds so 1980s that while I hate this sound it has become likeable. But yeah a lot of songs were way way too long. Finaly I slept on the last 3 (4?) songs, way too long indeed.

Favorite songs: 1999

Everybody loves California Dreamin' and just for this song the album deserves half a star. Of course it reeks of hippie / counter culture shit that caracterize the end of the 60s but it has great harmonies nevertheless.

Favorite songs: Monday Monday ; California Dreamin'

There is some Thin Lizzy in them (Reelin' in the Years). So I don't dislike that but it's unremarkable anyway.

I feel like I've listen to this kind of stuff already 1001 times on this list. But thank god it's a short album.

The album is packed with tubes (but mostly covers) and overall a real pleasure to listen to.

Favorite songs: Ready or not ; Fu-Gee-La ; Killing Me Softly ; No Woman, No Cry ;
