RATM is perfect for a friday morning at work when I'm part of the machine and I just want it to be the weekend.
Never heard this album in full, but now I'm really appreciating Morello's guitar and how hard it goes overall. 5* UNGHHH
Highlights: killing in the name of

SpiderlandSlint

Rated 2/10

Super weird. A dude talking over minimal guitar strumming for most of it. Garbage. 1*

Oh I see, it's one of those "a genre only exists because of this album" albums: "Spiderland is widely regarded as foundational to the 1990s post-rock and math rock movements" UGHHH

Just a week ago I said this was a better album than Blood sugar sex magik! This album is very nostalgic to me, and almost every song is a banger. Hearing it now, man the guitar/bass/drums just had so many good moments, but the front half feels more loaded than the back.

Highlights:
- around the world (what a groove)
- otherside (one of my faves for decades now, love the harmonies), scar tissue (guitars!)
- californication (iconic groove; I still use "the sun may rise in the east but at least it settles in a fine location" to know my cardinal directions)
- road trippin' (iconic line: "blue you sit so pretty west of the 1" when you go to big sur).

Every time I hear "i believe in a thing called love" I'm like, whatever happened to this band? Their sounds is very early 2000s.
First time hearing the whole album, and their sound is very reminiscent of 70s big hair rock. I didn't discover new songs I like, but not a bad album. 4*

Holy mother of pop albums -- I feel like I'm listening to some 60s TV soap opera theme song right off the bat. She has a nice voice, but I'm not sure this has stood the test of time, feels overproduced and saccharine as hell. 2*

MottMott the Hoople

Rated 4/10

The Bowie comparisons are pretty spot on. Some of it reminded me of the Rolling Stones (ballad of mott the hoople).
When I see a band I don't recognize, I'm always leery of them being on this list. I wasn't wrong, sounds mediocre and derivative. 2*

Complaining that the beastie boys yell is like complaining that water is wet.
Good energy, some good lines, enjoyable album. After rating a bjork album 3/5, it feels criminal to give this less than 4*

MedúllaBjörk

Rated 6/10

It's bjork, so I got into it expecting weird, and then it wasn't as bad as I expected? That's not saying much, but I've heard way worse on this list.

On its own, looking back at this album, I like that Christina has a wider range of genres in her music than her pop cohort. 4*
Highlights: fighter, beautiful, the voice within

This was chill. I like the part where they just start naming instruments. The album I saw on apple music was just different versions of the same thing, so for that it gets 3*
Highlights: p1 (because movie)
