A nice listen with some decent tunes. Doesn't totally resonate with me, but I'd be absolutely fine with listening to this anytime someone threw it on.

The songs are nice, but not particularly interesting. His mostly unchanging voice gets old fairly quick too. Overall not a bad listen but not one I overly cared for either.

Rated 10/10

One of my favourite albums! Thrilled to see this one included here! This album packs a real punch with great, energetic tunes with a punk edge, with catchy melodies to bring it all together. A fun time all around.

Started off pretty strong, and even had me excited that I had stumbled onto something great. But then it just kinda fizzled along for the rest of the way. Not bad, but lacking something.

Some decent, fairly catchy tunes. Not a big fan of the synth work (mostly in the first half of the album), but overall I didn't mind listening to this.

Go big or go home, and b'ys, Led Zeppelin did NOT go home. While their blues influence shows up here as always, they added some experimental, bombastic sounds on top of it and it really brought their whole sound to a new level. A sonic journey unlike anything they had released previously.

And 80's R&B/pop album is gonna be skating uphill with me at the best of times, and this one did not overcome my biases. The songs are well-crafted, and she's a talented singer, but it's just not for me.

Nick Drake is always an enjoyable listen, but this slightly more rockin' version of him connects with me a little less than his purely acoustic stuff. Still a decent listen, but not my favourite of his.

The CarsThe Cars

Rated 6/10

Maybe the most classic rock radio album out there. I didn't think that I knew anything by The Cars, but turns out I have already heard a lot of this on the radio over the years. Pretty catchy and certainly not bad, with a nice strong finish to the album to boot.

Look he's clearly a talented rapper and can write hits, and there's some brilliance on display here. But the whole being shitty to shock people schtick comes off as contrived and sure doesn't do it for me.
