Disraeli GearsCream

Rated 6/10

I always hear Cream being held in high-regard, but this is just okay and kinda boring? Perhaps this was exciting back in the 60s when it first came out, but it sounds a bit dated & basic now.

A truly enjoyable new-to-me listen. A nice combo of folk, celtic, and jammy rockin' sounds. That's more often than not going to be welcome in my ears.

I had a Bon Jovi era back in middle school. I've long moved past them, but this is still an okayish, if not fairly cheesy, listen.

FuneralArcade Fire

Rated 10/10

An all-time favourite. This was a game changer when it was released, and has an energy that very few albums of its era can match. Perfect from start to finish.

Randy Newman is good at doing his cheeky, loungy tunes thing. They're not bad, but also not something I see myself coming back to.

DookieGreen Day

Rated 10/10

As a kid that entered adolescence in the mid-90s, Dookie was an absolute formative album for me. It was great then, and it's great now. Peak Green Day.

If you can suspend your thoughts & opinions on Morrissey and just listen to the music for what it is, you'll find yourself hearing a pretty enjoyable album.

Rated 6/10

Not bad, not exciting. The whole album was kind of, fittingly, a blur.
