	The Sonics Here Are the Sonics This album is loud and intense, just like rock and roll should be. I love this album. It's exciting and innovative for its time. It's most definitely proto-punk and it's fiery. This is sonic power amplified! Great album if you're looking for an exemplary proto-punk album to groove to. A-r- Zach	4.0 05.01.17
	Lou Reed Street Hassle This album is seedy and gritty; an exemplary introduction to the underbelly of New York. Really reminds me of the Velvets' first album with Nico. It's dismal and perverse-- and I simply love it. Granted, it did take many re-listenings to really enjoy this album, but it's undoubtedly worth your time! "Gimme Some Good Times" is a stellar-- if not eerie-- reimagining of "Sweet Jane" from the Velvets' fourth album "Loaded". "Dirt" is hypnotic. Great. "Street Hassle" is a long, dreary and in-your-face song about how twisted life affords to be. "I Wanna Be Black" takes a "***-you" approach to racism; however, it is frankly hard	4.5 05.01.17
	Ramones Road to Ruin A huge improvement over the third-- and most critically acclaimed-- album, "Rocket to Russia". This album shows the Ramones maturing, yet still keeping their punk edge. "I Just Want to Have Something to Do" opens up the album and it's teetering on the edge of calmness and insanity throughout the entire run time; excellent. "I Wanted Everything" is a dud, and it bores me. "Don't Come Close" is a much quieter ballad, and it reminds me of some of the best songs on their second and third albums (which were all fiery punk ballads). "I Don't Want You" is fiery and a better version of a very similar song, "I Don't Care" from thei	4.5 05.01.17
	Ramones Leave Home A viable followup to "Ramones" and a highly underrated Ramones album. "Glad to See You Go" takes itself more seriously than their previous album opener "Blitzkrieg Bop". For that reason, it's a more aggressive and ultimately more important song. "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment" has some hidden beauty in it; but, quite frankly, it's a dud. "I Remember You" is a heat wrenching ballad, and I love it; on par with their best songs from "Rocket to Russia". "Oh Oh I Love Her so" is intense yet has a quiet ambience about it; another satisfying song. One of my favorites on this album. "Carbona Not Glue" is the followup to "Now I Wanna Sniff Som	2.5 05.01.17
	Ramones Ramones This album conveys such an intense punk attitude and is most definitely reminiscent of stellar photo-punk bands, such as the Stooges, the Velvets, the New York Dolls, and the Sonics. This album is so enjoyable to listen to; one of the Ramones' best albums, if not their best. "Blitzkrieg Bop" is such an intense and hypnotic album opener. Stellar. "Beat on the Brat" is dark and lovely. "Judy is a Punk" is so hardcore and intense; its chaos makes it beautiful. "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" is possibly my favorite Ramones' song; it's loud yet demands a quiet reverence. "Chain Saw" is a fun and campy song, quite similar to the New York Dolls' "There	4.0 05.01.17
	The Modern Lovers The Modern Lovers Tersely put, the coolness and excitement found in this album is nonpareil! Excellent and meticulous. A very refreshing and fun album; the inherent essence of rock and roll and punk. Lovely album. Thoroughly enjoyable. A +r- Zach	5.0 05.01.17
	Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band Safe As Milk "Sure 'Nuff 'n' Yes, I Do" is bluesy and electrically gritty. Love it. "Zig Zag Wanderer" is forgettable; it rocks slightly, but, overall a dud. "Call On Me" is heart wrenching yet still remains electric; great song. "Dropout Boogie" is too silly and thus distracts from the inherent electricity and volatility found in this album; a dud. "I'm Glad" is simply perfect; quiet yet powerful. Favorite song on this album. "Electricity" is eccentric but overall grating. "Yellow Brick Road" is fun, but, unfortunately forgettable. Sad. "Abba Zaba" is a dud; also, forgettable. "Plastic Factory" is so fucking bluesy; it grooves so hard. Love it. "Where Th	3.0 05.01.17

ZSF I keep trying to make them album review, but, for whatever reason, they get removed or transferred over to simply sound-offs.
