The triplet of Walk This Way, Song About Steven Tyler’s 10 inch “Blues Album” and Sweet Emotion has despite my best efforts made me enjoy this.

Honestly - I was an impressionable youth when Aerosmith had their 90s hits and was into them (or maybe more precisely Alicia Silverstone). As I aged they became a joke band in my mind. Listening to this you realize they had some chops circa 1975.

Like the first half of this was nostalgic fun then I was over it.

I guess I have a soft spot for bands who not only have a self titled album, BUT also a self titled song. This is 70s Dad Rock at its Dad-est.

“We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful” is fun. Beyond that, this is an exercise in Morrissey ironically singing about things that he now professes to hate. What a prick!

Who would have thought a Nick Cave penned double record about the death of his son would be so upbeat?

I too was bummed that this didn’t make my Monday happy.

Super 90s. I will add a star because of Q Tip.

Slightly more interesting soft rock than Michael Bolton. But only slightly.

I had low hopes for this, but once I got into it I was into the gothic beauty.

My inner Xennial wants to give this 5 stars if only because of “This Is The Day”’s inclusion in the Empire Records soundtrack.

Now - close your eyes and imagine you’re wearing a beat up cardigan and dancing with Liv Tyler on a rooftop somewhere.

Like the original Divine Comedy I went through different circles of thought on this. I didn’t care for it, then I thought meh, then I perked up, then I hated it, finally at the end I was intrigued.

I don’t know if that’s a recommendation - but there it is.

Creedence is always a good listen.

I dug this South African lady. More jazzy than soul with a traditional sound. I’ll come back to this.

What a shit band

Well for those who were shocked by Ye turning heel and saying he’s Jesus - this debut lays that all out there already.

Look the beats and rhymes are great. The skits a fucking dumb. Kanye is a turd.

Not bad. Pretty average hardcore.

Coldplay-esque early aughts bullshit.

I’d rather stick a metal spike in my ear than listen to Geddy Lee sing.

I prefer my Tricky in the Fifth Element.

More 15 minute records please!
