Rated 2/10
Second try at this one. New Wave sucks. 80s music is the worst. Gothic Rock...another genre I can confirm I am not a fan of. This is like a creepier Cure. Maybe the best thing that can be said about this album is that it was not long.
Rated 6/10
Karen Carpenter has a lovely voice. This is the softest album I've ever heard. This might be the first Easy Listening album. Their Reason to Believe is decent. I can only picture Rick Moranis singing Close to You in Parenthood or Marge getting the custom doorbell chime and screwing up the lyrics. This is like their greatest hits album. We've Only Just Begun, (They Long to Be) Close to You and I'll Never Fall In Love Again are the songs I most associate with them. Mr. Guder is the Easy Listening Mr. Dobalina. Come on Dick, Karen is the star here. Another Song is like the theme to knock off Bond 70s spy thriller. Ron Burgundy approves of the flute.
Rated 8/10
This album only came out in 2026. This book is going to turn into the Guinness Book of World Records, where almost nothing changes year to year but they still issue one with a few new records in it. Africa is a mess. I like this more than I thought I was going to. A Foreshadowing is the best song so far. Little by Little is another really good song. This album is why you don't judge a book by its cover. I wonder if Iron & Wine or Bon Iver or any of the other indie folk bands made the cut on the latest list. Or the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Where the mountain meets the see sounds like a Bon Iver cover. I liked this though, not sure it's one of the 1,001 albums I need to hear before I die, but I like it.
Rated 4/10
The Pixies and Sonic Youth listened to the opening track and decided to make albums. Every cover of Helter Skelter feels like it is trading on Charles Manson's insanity and something just feels wrong about that. This feels like mid-80s indie rock five years before that was a thing. A lot of bands that came after them sound an awful lot like them. There's a Talking Heads vibe on some of the songs. Why do all these bands have a really long song to close their albums?
Rated 10/10
From the first few notes of Welcome to the Jungle, you know you're about to hear something awesome. It is the greatest lead song off a debut album of all time. It's a great song on a great album and was a massive hit. Plus, as I tell my son, if you listen to it before a game or lifting weights, it is scientifically proven to improve your performance by 11%. If GNR gets lumped in with "hair bands", they are head and shoulders (wink) better than the rest of their contemporaries. Paradise City is a jam. Sweet Child O' Mine rocks. The album tracks aren't as good as the singles but that's like saying you nieces and nephews aren't as cute as your own kids. These dudes love drugs and women...maybe in that order? Some of their songs make me think this is like Van Halen if they were into heroin instead of cocaine. Rocket Queen is the best album track and a great finish.
