Take Me ApartKelela

Rated 4/10

R&B isn’t my usual listening. Saying that, this album sounds like something I’ve heard a million times before with more polished production, probably due to the recent release date.

Abbey RoadThe Beatles

Rated 10/10

Two Beatles albums this week? I’m all about that. I’m going to listen to my vinyl of this instead of listening from my phone.
Abbey Road is probably the most recognizable album of The Beatles and my second favorite. Another case of if you rate this less than 5/5, you’re wrong.

I can see why this is so lowly rated and the reviews are how they are. It pushes boundaries sometimes to the breaking point of conventional recorded material. I felt like I was having heart palpitations at certain points due to the noises.

Rated 10/10

First impression: this is groovy.
Overall, this was a fun album. I really like post-punk like this.
Favorite track: The Great Beautician in the Sky, the eeriness gives me Danse Macabre vibes.

RevolverThe Beatles

Rated 10/10

Anything by The Beatles is an instant 5/5 for me, but especially Revolver. It’s all over the place with different styles but it works. If you rate this anything other than 5, you’re wrong.

I love getting bangers on Fridays. Hip hop isn’t my usual genre but this has had so much influence in the 30 years since it was released. I also love the jazzy twist mixed in.

Coming into this album with the only Kate Bush song I know is Running Up That Hill due to Stranger Things. In general, I find female vocalists difficult to listen to. This album was no different for me. The music for the first couple of tracks was the only reason I’m not rating this 1/5.

Not the best, not the worst. This gets a middle of the road rating for how uninspired I feel after over an hour of meh.

Growing up with family that frequently played 70s-80s metal means there’s no way I can rate this album anything other than 5.

With the exception of Bang A Gong for the fleeting second of “Oh that’s who sings this song!”, I was pretty bored listening to this

I feel like I was transported into scene in a crime drama tv episode from the early 2000s when they show the characters doing quotidian tasks with no dialogue.

Rated 8/10

Not my usual taste in music but with some light rain outside and heartache, I enjoyed her warbling voice.
