So chill, so fun, so classic. It is a great album.

Me and Julio alone is enough for a four star rating. The rest of the album is decent, although I do feel like a few of the tracks drag a bit.

Good energy, good fun, a bunch of nostalgia. I liked it.

Meh, not terrible but often felt like it was being weird for the sake of weird.

Not bad, but not super memorable.

I did not enjoy this one. For some reason the version of Karma Chameleon that lives in my head is much more upbeat and energetic than the real version. Which made me think I had been listening to a cover instead of the original, but that does not seem to be the case. The rest is so very 80's, not in a good way. No desire to listen to this again.

Oof, what a powerhouse of a voice. She comes out so strong with Hello it really just carries you through the rest of the album which is still pretty good in its own right. I really can't think of reason not to give it full marks.

So very 90's and angsty. It feels a little dated, but also a little iconic. It is very distinctive and overall I quite enjoyed it.

Super funky. Superstition alone is worth 4 stars, makes you want to start strutting around. Love it.

It was fine. It sounded like Marvin Gaye. Other than that I don't really remember much about it. I didn't even realize when the album looped because it all just blended together.

Immigrant Song is amazing. Tangerine is great. The rest...pretty good. It even got a bit bluegrassy at one point. Zepplin kicks ass.

For the most part I liked it, but what the fuck was going on in the middle of Moonchild? It almost makes me want to sink this rating to a two. But I enjoyed the rest of the album enough to send it down the middle of the road.

I did not like that. I am not entirely sure why, it seems adjacent to many other albums I have enjoyed. But something about it really just rubbed my the wrong way.

It was ok. Nothing stood out to me at the time, and I am having difficulty remembering anything about it now. But I am pretty sure I didn't hate it for any reason.

Genuinely different and interesting. A lot of it was fun, but some of it was just too heavy on the percussion for my preference.

Some decent old rock. Nothing that stood out to me. Nothing I would seek out in the future. Also, nothing I would mind having on in the background.

I am sure I am missing a lot of nuance, but blues all starts to sound the same to me after the first song or two. Fortunately that sound is pretty good.

Early german techno? Yes please. Great soundtrack for sauerkraut making.

Never heard of these guys before, but that was some serious fun. It just sounds like they are having a great time and it is infectious.

The music is pretty good. But there was nothing that really caught me and I am trying to recalibrate my ratings as I feel I have been getting more and more generous with my stars. I can't see myself coming across this album in the future and thinking, "You know what, I could really use some Blood and Chocolate this afternoon." So 3 stars it is.
