Rated 4/10

Folk can be a boring genre of music and this album is a prime example of just that. It all sounds the same because of his voice that doesn't vary in pitch and the only instrument used being an acoustic guitar.

Like others, it's not awful, I guess. Just reeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyy long to get through despite being less than half an hour long

These type of albums I don't hate just find boring so I'll usually rate them a 3 but I don't like her voice that much so it goes down to a 2.

Rated 6/10

It's unlikely I'm gonna rate these sort of albums any higher than a 3. They're cool, they're calming, she's got a great voice, just not my style. Gets a bit boring after a few

I'm not sure what to rate this one.

My main genre is metal. I've grown into focusing less on the lyrics and vocals and more on the riffs, guitar tone, drumming, etc. From this standpoint it's a 5 star album.

When I focus on the lyrics it makes me feel ill. I did not sign up to listen to Axl Rose's sexual fantasies.

Evens out to a 4 I'd say

I should really like Led Zeppelin and I really want to but their music just does nothing for me.

Technically it's really good but I just find it boring. No song really jumps out at me, there were the occasional bits, sure, but not enough to keep me interested.

First two tracks are absolute bangers, drops off a bit after that

I think I prefer the harder tracks in this compared to the slower, softer ones

Brian's guitar work is insanely good and the vocals are legendary - shocker, I know.

They've definitely got better stuff but this is still a great album

I'm changing my review months later because I've realised I enjoy it a lot more now compared to my first listen. It's grown on me, helped by when I'm listening to this at night, that's when it's best.

Jazz is such a drag to get through. It's not terrible by any means, it's just incredibly boring

Give me jazz-influenced genres any day of the week and I'll eat that shit up, but jazz by itself it too tedious. It's needs something else alongside it

Rated 8/10

Really fun album, blends many genres together. Especially love the jazzy parts in particular.

Guitar solos are cool and the riffs are good but get repetitive sometimes. Bass is quite prevalent which I always like in music too

The opening track, Funny Vibe and Which Way To America are standouts

Defo gonna be listening to this again

I'm quite surprised I enjoy this one. Most of the time with these calmer albums I find they need something a little bit more to add to them to make them more enjoyable, but this one was different. Whether it was his voice or the mood I was in I'm not sure, but this is one I will definitely be revisiting.

Love some old school hard rock every now and again but it can get too samey after a while

The lyrics and vocals are quite cringe but that's common with all glam rock. The riffs and the bass make up for it

If I wanted to listen to some glam rock/metal I probably wouldn't choose these over the likes of KISS or Skid Row

Sometimes I find the vocals alright but others I can't stand, like I'm Your Man - "I'd howl at your beauty like a dog in the heat". Ew.

The synth is fine but gets tedious fast. After that it just sounds like an old man doing karaoke 15 pints in

Saying that Jazz Police I enjoyed, not sure it warrants a higher rating because of this however

Maybe a harsh 2 but compared to what I've already rated in 3 I think a 2 is justified

Rated 6/10

Middest of the mid

40,000 headman and Cryin' To Be Heard are good tracks.

Rest is just bog standard

Señorita was actually kind of a bop in all fairness

I mean the rest of it was one hour of pure cock and ball torture but that first song was alright at least
