One good one then sitars everywhere. Just get back from your trip to India there, bud?

Ready To Die

3/5

The sexism and homophobia did not age well, made for a rough listen. Some bangers, to be sure, but I also for sure didn't need to hear Biggie getting a beej, what the fuck.

Dinosaur Jr.

1/5

Second go around listening to this. I can't do it, man. I'm not going to endure this again. It's just so fuckin' bad. I hate the vocals, I hate the guitars, I hate this god awful band. The best part of this album was when it stopped playing. They're the Neil Young of grunge, and I don't mean that in a good way. As my friend told me, "Don't endure poop because the shit machine told you to"

So Much For The City

The Thrills

1/5

The Thrills, huh. Decidedly not delivering on the name (Yeah, I was champing at the bit to delivery that absolute ZINGER). Everything is great except for the weird whisper singing of the vocalist. I think the Eels are the only group that can get away with that. Every song just made me so mad because it was somehow tedious and time wasting to listen to this album. I felt a brief glimmer of hope at the very end both when the vocals started to speak up and when the track ended.

5/5

Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

"i like this sound of this album but kinda want an entire track where thom talks about doors in a weird voice" I'm not sure if this is the most accessible Radiohead album for the masses. I can imagine the people coming to this from The Bends and going "what did I just drop $15 on??" I think Pyramid Song goes kinda crazy, and that's maybe all you need to get out of it.

The Grand Tour

George Jones

4/5

What a nice little treat. So nice, I listened twice. Sometimes you need a lil country western love song sesh, and George Jones delivered.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

This album fuckin slaps. From front to back, it's just so good, no skips. Free bird is simply legendary, some say they're still playing that solo to this day. Also Love the "gimme some baby" call out to a solo in Mississippi Kid, so good. But goddamn it did they have to fly that flag?

You can't not get crazy about Led Zeppelin, but good lord just stop screaming for more than 30 seconds. It's sort of exhausting to listen to because Robert Plant is just belting it out for almost 45 minutes straight.

An excellent album about how awesome it is to be in a rock band and also famous. I wonder who heard this and went "wow, let's do it" and then financially ruined themselves? *Side eyes Pulp*
