TRAINWRECKORDS EP. 27
Ringo Starr - Ringo the 4th
As of writing this, this is the most recent Trainwreckord, therefore our last one for now. If I’m honest, I’m kinda saddened that this album is the note we are ending things off of for now, because this was just kinda… boring bad? Ringo goes disco and dance rock and it just… does not work in the way that I think he wanted it to. Sometimes I think he’s kinda managing to make some pretty alright tunes here and ... read more
Music is generally defined as the art of arranging sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm or otherwise expressive content.
After fully listening to this finally, (I had only listen to the single songs from this album alone);

Not very good, but also unsure as to why this one is singled out as a low point in Rigno’s discography. Opener is fantastic, and there’s some other worthwhile moments across the record even if it’s quite inconsistent. Better than Beaucoups of Blues and Ringo’s Rotogravure at the very least.
