✝Justice

Rated 6/10

Surprised I was familiar with three of these songs. A little too tech-y for me but not a bad album.

The Yes AlbumYes

Rated 6/10

A lot to unpack. I like Yes, but found them late in life. This isn’t my favorite album by them but it is fun.

Just loud, abrasive noise. I love electronic music and lots of people say it’s just noise. I hear the beauty and structure in it. I’m sure someone hears the beauty and structure in this, but to me it’s just noise.

Always been told about early Genesis prog rock but never checked it out. I’m impressed but I don’t think this was the album to start with. Double album got a little tedious by the end. The sound is all over the place but I definitely want to check out more of their stuff.

Rated 6/10

Good album. Reminds me of the Cure, but more pissed off. A few songs that the vocal performance was underwhelming, though.

PearlJanis Joplin

Rated 6/10

JJ is very polarizing. People love her or hate her. I’m indifferent. Sometimes her voice hits my ears wrong but it’s rare, so I enjoyed most of this album.

Meh. For every song that I enjoyed, there was another that sounded like a Disney soundtrack reject. Worth listening to, but not something I will revisit

Great album. Could be a five star album if the songs were reordered. Having “Drive” as the opener sets a tone that the rest of the album just doesn’t live up to.

AWESOME album! What a great find! Not at all what I was expecting, especially considering the “post punk” description.
