Rated 6/10

On the poppier side of new wave, this record is pretty solid. I’d cut maybe a few tracks from it though.

I’ve been putting this review off for more than a week now. I really don’t know what I can say about this record that will do it any justice. I’ve been listening to this album for over 30 years now and I still love it. Every note of this album lives in my heart forever. The songs on this record shaped my life; they are in my very bones.

One of the ballsiest moves any artist has made. Still riding on the glam success of Ziggy Stardust in 1972, Bowie decided to record a soul album in ‘75 and pulled it off to great success. It took me a few years to get to know this record, but once I did it became one of my favs.

Rated 6/10

Started off strong but suffers from 90s album syndrome—too many songs. Mostly good though.

George is my favorite Beatle. I’m glad he had this post-Beatles opportunity to release so much of his music, I only wish he had edited it down to a 2 LP album. There’s a lot of music on this album, and some cuts are better than others. The good is really good though.

I don’t care for country music. However, this is a really good album. Parton has a pleasant voice and her songwriting stays more interesting than what I think of as country music. Great listen.
