All of these songs sound the same and are just so blah AND the album is soooooo long. This was not a good rainy Monday morning at work listen.

When this album started and there were lyrics in the first song, I was stoked for some excitement ahead...but then there was no more singing and it sort of fell flat. Easy listening though.

Rated 10/10

As is protocol, I will now talk about how I saw Blondie in concert in 2017. I made the trip across the border to Art Park in Lewiston, NY. I loved her raunchy, badass older lady persona.
This album is great. I never realized how much 1950s sock hop and 1960s vibes it has. Plus the album cover is so cool.

For most of this album I was hating it and thinking "put a shirt on, you disgust me." With all the weird noises he was making "ngyah, ngyah, ngyah". The last few songs were a bit better though. At least it was a short album.

I like this guy's voice. I like this music. It sounds like it could be from a rock musical. Also, now I know where Jack Black gets his inspiration and material from.

Rated 4/10

This guy's style of singing was reminding me of the B52s guy and the Talking Heads guy. This album is super depressing.

I was back and forth with this album. It took me a few days to get through, because I kept getting distracted. My first thought was "if I wanted to listen to old timey crooner music I would just put on Frank Sinatra or one of the other greats". Then I was like "but this is really beautiful and he does a good job". Just listening to the last song and it's lovely.

Finally a Beatles album after listening to 174 other albums. I love these guys, love their voices. This isn't one of their best, maybe a bit too many love songs, but still good.

I've never heard of this band, just the movie. This music was good for finding out your work friend's dog just died :( .
Some fun sounds in this album and I like the 60s feel.

Gah, this is just too much and it's soooo looooong. Not sure if I can make it through this whole album. He just goes on and on. Currently yawning at 11a.m.... I know his voice it amazing, but the lyrics are just so doofy.

Rated 6/10

Very gritty, but also chill album. I had to look up, "is Jim Morrison even on this album cover?" Holy heck, he's the guy on the right and there's a whole story that goes along with it. I appreciate that he didn't want to stand out.

I wasn't sure about the album at first, but it sort of grew on me. With a name like Malcolm McLaren I should've expected it, but I was surprised when I found out this man was as white as white can be.
