Rated 8/10
This is bringing me back to a very specific time in high school that honestly I kind of loved (aside from hating most of high school). That being said, I think I only know three of these songs. I feel like I am right on the precipice of indie sleaze.
Rated 10/10
I actually really like this. I could see myself listening to this on a rough day at work just to settle myself and lock in. Tune the world out. I like it.
Love the clarinet in Best Lose the Fear.
Rated 6/10
"What a short album! Oh...."
This is really what I needed this morning to settle me down after a chaotic drop off. I'm just curious about how he performed these songs! Did he just never take a break? I knew he was impressive but damn.
Rated 6/10
Not the theme for CSI Miami...
This is real peak dad rock.
I know the big three on this album for before. I don't think it has the appropriate nostalgia for me to keep in my library and play again, but I did enjoy myself
Rated 6/10
I don't think that this album could be more 80s if it tried
Rated 4/10
This is starting off v funny.
Hit Da Funk and feeling a little more up my alley.
And now we are starting to get a little too repetitive for my taste. I can see how this would have been very different at the time.
I'm surprised to say I'm not going to save this one. I know "techno" is my genre, but I think it's just not got the grit I normally go for. It's not angry enough :D
Rated 6/10
Jesus these are long songs. That's a cute dog tho.
This is another one I could see myself playing in the background at a family gathering. My Nana & Poppa would have (and probably did) love this.
Ok I can tell yo right now that I am going to love this but also I am absolutely not going to finish the whole thing. My Poppa always played Ella Fitzgerald at the cottage and over the holidays. And I played Gershwin all the time in band when I was in high school (nerd alert).
I got through to the middle of disk two before I tapped out because it is too long but I definitely think that there is a time and a place for me to play this and enjoy it
This is not a good start and also not the band I want to listen to on Canada v. USA day.
It's giving American Sargent Peppers.
I'm gonna need to DNF this guy.
Rated 6/10
I am super vibing with Grounds for Divorce.
It's giving Radiohead meets Gordon Lightfoot.
Not a bad album. Very soothing. I might have needed it today. But not one that I am going to keep in my favs.
Rated 10/10
This album reminds me of having dinner at the cottage with my parents over a nice glass of wine. It was the perfect start for me
