December listens
idk |
| 1 |  | Stevie Wonder
The Woman In Red
I love Stevie, but this just sucked. Bad synthy mom music... from a funk and soul legend. 2/5
Favorite: "Moments Aren't Moments" (still meh)
Least favorite: ...the other 7. |
| 2 |  | Tubeway Army
Replicas
Fun robot themed early post punk/synthpop. 4/5
Favorite: "Are 'Friends' Electric?"
Least favorite: "Replicas" |
| 3 |  | Lightning Bolt
Wonderful Rainbow
A noisy mess in a good way. I actually revisited this after hearing it like over 2 years ago. 4/5
Favorite: "Dracula Mountain"
Least favorite: "Wonderful Rainbow" |
| 4 |  | Thinking Fellers Local 282
Strangers From the Universe
Silly indie stuff with too many noodling transition tracks. The non transition tracks are all good though. 4/5
Favorite: "The Piston and the Shaft"
Least favorite: "Pull My Pants Up Tight" |
| 5 |  | Perfume Genius
No Shape
Great production, boring instrumentation, lame vocals. It lacks all of the unique ideas Too Bright had and keeps the piano ballads... 2.5/5
Favorite: "Slip Away" (I guess...)
Least favorite: "Die 4 You" (maybe? After 4 listens they all sort of run together...) |
| 6 |  | Dr. John
Remedies
More Dr. John being a smooth shaman dude. Mostly good short R&B tracks and boring long tracks that are just jams. 3/5
Favorite: "Loop Garoo"
Least favorite: "Angola Anthem" |
| 7 |  | Parliament
Motor Booty Affair
Fun aquatically themed funk! Sir Nose is hilarious lol. Less fun than the other 3 albums I've heard by them though. 3.5/5
Favorite: The Motor-Booty Affair
Least favorite: Liquid Sunshine |
| 8 |  | Miles Davis
Kind of Blue
Improvisational jazz. I really like it, but I feel like I'm mostly going to listen to this for practical reasons like... background music or dinner music, Jazz fans don't kill me because I still think it's fantastic. 4.5/5
Favorite: Freddie Freeloader
Least favorite: Blue in Green |
| 9 |  | Depeche Mode
Some Great Reward
Industrial pop that's sexy as hell haha. Some political lyrics here and there that are interesting too. 4/5
Favorite: "Stories of Old"
Least favorite: "Somebody" |
