MetallicaMetallica

Rated 2/10

Look - I didn’t get Metallica when I was a teen and all my friends were obsessed. 25 years on and that hasn’t changed. I didn’t finish it because honestly, what’s the point?

Meh - beyond the title track I didn’t really care about any of the songs. They all sounded the same, very one note.

I will say that if I had heard this when I was in 6th grade I would have been OBSESSED with AC/DC.

The Joshua TreeU2

Rated 2/10

This is just awful. First 3 songs feel like late 80s soft rock. Rest of the album is Bono singing like Michael Bolton fronting the worst Rolling Stones cover band.

I want to give this 5, but the back quarter of this isn’t so strong. But man most of the record is gold. Her combo of old US soul with songs about love, drinking and the various fuckeries of life is so good.

First listen of this B&S - it felt a bit more “modern” compared with their other 90s records. Their classic sound wasn’t quite there yet. Still an enjoyable listen.
