Same Fee – Different Box As usual, this box now lives in our living room.
I hated the first few seconds of this, but then it wasn’t terrible for a bit, but then I started to hate it again. There’s just a lot of repetition in the songs so they seem to just not go anywhere for a really long…
I am beginning to worry that you all must think I live in a cave, but I have never heard an Adele song before. Seeing that “Hello” has 3.4B plays on YouTube Music, I think you are right. Know that at least Adele doesn’t live…
I have mixed feelings about this album by Suede but I think that’s because I can’t really figure out what it is. It’s considered alternative and I guess as a description of the music – alternative it is. It shifts from quiet to loud, mellow…
I hadn’t heard this in ages but I think a bit of maturity has set in that lets me hear Cat Stevens in a whole new light. I guess I always enjoyed the radio hits a bit but this really made perfect Saturday morning, quiet…
When I started to listen to this I was expecting it to sound like “Sex Is On Fire” but it didn’t so I searched and found out that apparently I was thinking about Kings of Leon and that I really had no idea who Arcade…
Gina and I took a trip to Mexico a number of years ago with my mom and some other family so we got our passports as needed for the international travel. She just got a letter about upcoming expiration and passport renewal so we were…
I believe I am being truthful when I say I am not sure if I have ever heard a Beyoncé song prior to listening to this album. Having now listened, I believe I am being truthful when I say I am not likely to ever…
I don’t even know how to write a review for Band On The Run – it’s an essential album full of tremendously interesting and enjoyable songs by the world’s greatest songwriter. I think that covers it pretty well actually. To learn more about the 1001…
A couple of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs here make this an essential part of his phenomenal run of releases he put out from 72 – 76. I usually listen to the next couple if I put on one of his albums so I am…
What a tremendously enjoyable album. I think if you’re going to listen to good old Chicago Blues you probably should start right here with Muddy Waters, and “Mannish Boy” with that killer repeating riff that kicks things off. These songs set a mood and it’s…
Gina listened to this with me and we really enjoyed it. As with most other non-english language albums my inability to understand the lyrics makes me really rely on the music to gauge the mood or intention of the song, and this was a delightful…
I do try to keep an open mind when I listen to these albums, and I do listen to at least the first minute of every song to give everything a chance. With that said, I know myself and my musical tastes so I feel…
If they keep putting Bob Dylan albums up for me I am going to run out of superlatives to use in my reviews. Bringing It All Back Home is a pivotal album for Dylan with the half electric / half acoustic format. It’s a lyrical…
I really do enjoy quite a lot of the music of this era but The Everly Brothers were never really my thing. I actually found this to be pretty lackluster and boring. I didn’t know that “Love Hurts” was their song originally so this loses…
