The movie didn't generate an extreme reaction for me - not a masterpiece or a disaster. But in the
reviews I've read, the score does not get enough props, even if it did win numerous awards
(including an Academy award). It really is one of the important elements that lifts the film above
just being solid. |

| Rodriguez Cold Fact |
| The weirdest, most rock and roll show I've ever been to was Rodriguez. The guy was a total jerk to the touring band (of highly professional musicians) that was supplied to him; they walked off a few times because he was so insufferable. At one point the crowd threw a blunt on stage and he was crawling around on all fours to pick it up. After the show, everyone collectively forgot about all the negatives. Such is the power of this record; people will forgive a total bellend. |

| Marilyn Manson Mechanical Animals |
For such a smart guy, I've always been baffled by Manson's pedestrian (at best) lyrics. He's also
a man who likes a grand concept. I never knew this album was supposed to be part two of some
ridiculous rock opera, but it makes sense now that I'm more informed. Half of it is about some
weird commercial rock robot who churns out nihilistic alterna-glam for a corporation. It's big,
dumb, brassy fun. Most importantly, it can survive outside of the "story". The other half is about
Marilyn Manson learning to feel or something, and varies wildly in quality. Think how good this
would have been with 3 more glam songs and pretty much none of the other stuff. |

| The great closer brought me to this record. Starts off excellently but one does feel like many of the songs read as wordy, listy rants that get a bit samey. As others have said, perhaps a little more melody wouldn't have gone amiss. |

I think this is for genre aficionados. I prefer my hip hop in small doses, but unfortunately it
seems to be the genre of large doses. Dense and relentless, I think there's lots going on here but
I can't seem to focus on the elements and it begins to get a little monotonous, ironically because
of the clutter. For purists or connoisseurs. |

| Nick Cave and Warren Ellis Carnage |
| This has some good moments, but as with most of Cave's output over the years, I still find his delivery is, for the most part, overwrought - it's a taste I've just never acquired. Also, the way he uses repetition will resonate with some people, but for me it's hit and miss. I get why people are loving this though. |

this a solid record, but not something i'd return to. title track is good, i'd probably prefer if
the whole thing was a bit more bouncy. the slower tracks just aren't as interesting compared to
other similar singer songwriter fare, but she's on to something when it swings a bit. |

| I think the level of mixing of shoegaze and country is overstated, but maybe that's just me. Some songs are a blend but not to the degree that the hype would suggest, and probably more of an alt rock country vibe anyway when there is considerable crossover. The vocals are pretty average, and frankly some of these songs don't go anywhere. Some good lyrics in places. Standouts are Hot Rotten Grass Smell, Got Shocked, Quarry, and the opening 2.5 minutes of Bull Believer (wish they'd split the song in two) |

| Bobbie Gentry Local Gentry |
The opener is fun, and there's wry wit in the best of Gentry's self-penned numbers. Her tracks on
the second half are less successful. The majority of the numbers on this are covers (3 Beatles
songs), and they range from ok to actively offensive, such as the easy listening take on Eleanor
Rigby. Smacks of a lack of confidence in her own work after the excellent Delta Sweete did not
perform as well as her debut. |

The music is beautiful in places, but the vocals don't work for me. I'd have liked this more if
the vocal melodies were less theatrical storytelling type stuff, and he'd brought in a vocalist
other than himself (or dropped the vox altogether). If you do like musical theatre, then this
might be an amazing experience, as the backing has some subtle unexpected flourishes. |

I'd have to commend him on doing something new with some of the arrangements, but ultimately this
is very bloodless and dull. To my ears, he's not a very expressive or convincing singer, despite
having the requisite skill and a conventionally pleasant voice. There's something clinical about
the whole thing which makes it a slog after a few songs. |

| Sounds a bit like a bar that insists on a jacket, and has all the counters underlit with strip lighting. Said bar regularly has designer liquor promotions for drinks that come in strangely shaped bottles, or the glass is treated in an unusual way (like frosting, a novel colour, etc). In addition, the bottle may have little interesting details like a small plastic purple gem on the front. |

I feel like 60% of Eels songs sound like bad copies of "I've never met a girl like you before"
(which is awesome). Like seriously how does anyone tell Eels songs apart? He's more boring than
Beck. I think I keep trying to listen to his stuff because the songs "Elizabeth on the bathroom
floor" and "Electro-shock blues" from 20+ years ago are truly brilliant and bring me to tears. The
rest? meh to the highest degree |

| The songs on this... I mean they're just flat out too long. When Metallica lean into a more neutral hard rock sound, as opposed to metal, you see the possibilities. They needed to meet in the middle more, and then refine that sound. It just doesn't fuse and the whole thing falls apart. |

I saw MM in 2015 and they bummed me out with their disinterested, cashing a paycheck vibe, so I
didn't check out Strangers. After hearing the Whale Song again recently, I decided to give them
another shot. This is definitely a braver record than Strangers, but unfortunately nothing on it
is worth listening to again. The singles are dire, the rest is dull. |

| While this does get boring pretty quickly, the sound is not actually as unpleasant as I expected - there's an accidental symphonic vibe to it. But yeah, unless you're looking for background noise, it's not good. I think it's wild that this was released by a reasonably well known artist. Imagine being poor old Johnny record buyer and purchasing this without reading any reviews or a pre-listen - I would have been so bummed that I spent my pocket money on this. Lou could be a cruel bastard. |

| 74 minutes of self-pity filtered through a clumsy rock opera. And Comfortably Numb is also on this, hence 1.5 rather than 1. Waters basically repeats this in a slightly more palatable way on the next one. |

The base is generic, slightly dated pop album.
Then every calculated "kooky" decision to set
this apart from other pop albums is just a
horrible misstep. Like awful guitar tones and
laughable vocal effects. Track 4 is pretty
cool though, I wish it leaned more into that
sound. |
