Rated 6/10
When I was a kid I had a keyboard piano where the demo song was Just the Way You Are, but I never knew the actual song, so hearing the actual song always makes me laugh since I heard that little demo version so many times as a kid. I think I recognized Only the Good Die Young a bit, but didn't know the rest, so as a first listen, being outside of my circle, it was alright.
Rated 6/10
Never heard of this before. 80s pop, but it’s alright I guess.
Rated 4/10
I used to hear paper planes a lot on the alt stations, somehow it was a crossover, which I never really understood, because I don't like stuff like this, so didn't care for the rest of the album either.
Rated 10/10
I love the foos but I actually only have a few of their albums so I this one I only knew the singles, but ya the rest was great also. It’s cool that he did this all solo before there was actually a full band. More raw sound for sure. Some of the screamy isn’t for me as much but I’ll let it slide.
Rated 6/10
Never heard any of these before. It was alright.
Rated 4/10
3 of the songs I knew from hearing on classic rock radio way too many times. I struggle with bluesy stuff, I just don’t like it. Riders on the Storm brings it up a bit though.
Rated 4/10
Never heard of this before. I don’t like these sounds/style.
Never heard of this before. It’s very much not my thing but I guess it’s decent for what it is.
Rated 8/10
Never heard of this before. Punk but with a horn section for some songs, ya, it actually works, I enjoyed this album.
Sorry Dolly, but I really don't like country, no matter how good a person you were
Rated 6/10
Never heard of this before. It was alright but the parts where he did the high vocals was a bit screechy and made me cringe a bit.
Rated 10/10
I knew some of the singles and I love One but this is the first time hearing the rest of the album and ya it's great.
Rated 6/10
Gotta go fast! So only 4 of the songs are original and the rest are covers? That's so weird to me how common that was back then. It's like do I just judge it only on those 4 songs then? I dunno. Their interpretation is how they did it back then so ya pretty good.
Rated 6/10
Never heard of this before. Southern indie rock? I like the indie rock side but not the southern rock side.
Rated 6/10
Hadn't heard this before except knowing Bowie's version of China Girl. Overall it was alright for me, the songs were fine but nothing really jumped out at me.
Rated 6/10
This one is a bit hard for me, I liked some of it, but the more country sounding ones aren't for me.
Rated 8/10
The name seems familiar but not sure if I’ve heard anything by them before, none of this album anyway. This is like chill electronic, sounds like movie soundtrack stuff, almost a Portishead type sound sometimes, I like it.
Rated 8/10
Heard the name before but don’t think I’ve listened to them before. Pretty decent sounds here though.
Rated 6/10
Never heard of this before. The nuclear theme is interesting, but not the type of music I would usually listen to. Tides I enjoyed a lot though.
Rated 8/10
Never heard of this before. Reading how this influenced riot grrl and I can hear that. Generally I really don’t like saxophone in songs but it’s actually not bad here, more subdued I guess? Or maybe just as a part of punk as an instrument in the mix instead of a big sax solo.
