The second album I listened to this week's Classic Rock Sunday, the eighth studio album of Canadian rock band Rush, Moving Pictures.
Overall, this is a great album but it is overrated. The first half is better and I feel like this album didn't age the greatest imo.
It’s another day of Classic Rock Sunday, and this week’s reviews will be significantly shorter since I’m pretty busy this week. First up is the seventh studio of Pink Floyd, Animals.
Overall, this album is great. I loved the basslines, the synth work, Rogers’ vocals, and overall production is just great. Not my favorite album from the band, but I could see why this is a lot of people’s personal favorite, it's really good.
This album's pretty inconsistent with the quality of every track, and it's pretty bloated too. There's no need for 27 tracks (or 32 tracks for the deluxe) just for 40% of them to be mediocre. Luckily, the amount of good tracks outweighs the bad ones so this is still a pretty good album overall.
A significant downgrade from his previous album, Testing is a mixed bag with high highs and lowest lows of Rocky's discography.
Genuinely atrocious. Only Ty is the redeemable thing on here, everything else is just downright horrendous.
Not completely abysmal solely because of Ty but what the hell was Ye thinking when he made this. This is genuinely embarrassing for someone who has multiple great albums and one 10/10 imo. Ty tried his best to salvage this project but results still remain very underwhelming. Overall, an extremely disappointing album and one of Ye's worst works yet. As CB said on BEG FORGIVENESS, "You should hang your head in shame."
Today's final album for this late Classic Rock Sunday is King Crimson's eighth studio album and their first album after their 7 year hiatus, Discipline. King Crimson departed from their traditional progressive sound and leaned into the new wave sound that was growing popular in the music industry at the time. You could hear their progressive and experimental roots with their newer and more accessible new wave sound converge in songs like Elephant Talk, Frame by Frame, Matte Kudasai, ... read more
Today's second album for this week's late Classic Rock Sunday is the third studio album of American rock band Talking Heads. This is another album that I took interest in for a while, especially after I looked at /mu/ essentials lists for new music to listen to. The album incorporates heavy influences from African and world music and blends it with the post-punk sound that was becoming popular during the time to create this piece of work. This was a pretty great album, and they ... read more
Welcome to a late Classic Rock Sunday, I was pretty exhausted during the weekend so I didn't have time to do this on Sunday. This week will all be new wave albums, to celebrate the new month of February. Anyways, here is my review of the album. London Calling is the third studio album of English rock band The Clash. One of the most influential rock albums of all time, this album is the definition of what post-punk stands for. This album came at a time where punk rock's dominance in ... read more
The Abel Tesfaye's final album under the moniker The Weeknd. My first experience with The Weeknd was in 2016 when Starboy released and I heard the title track play on the radio repeatedly. I enjoyed his voice and I thought he was a great singer, not to mention how damn catchy that song was. If I recall, I also heard I Feel It Coming too, but less compared to Starboy, that song was everywhere. My interest with The Weeknd heightened during the pandemic and the release of After Hours. I ... read more
Thank you that dude for recommending this album, very cool!
Honestly pretty good math rock album. Sure, there are some duds like Dogs and Ducks, but this album is overall an enjoyable listen front to back.
This mixtape kinda surprised me. With Thug's infectious hooks, good flows, and the good beat choice, this project delivers a lot. I think enjoy this more than So Much Fun since this mixtape feels less bloated and doesn't overstay its welcome. Though, some songs like Floyd Mayweather or Kanye West should be trimmed down. Overall, I really like this mixtape more than I expected.
Today’s third album for this week's Classic Rock Sunday is the soundtrack for the 1984 movie of the same name and the sixth studio album of Prince, Purple Rain. I just realized that I haven't listened to any of Prince's albums before, which is unfortunate because this album is just spectacular. From Prince's beautiful vocals to the instrumentation that flows so well, there's A TON to love with this album, not to mention how the title track is nothing less than ... read more
Today's second album for Classic Rock Sunday is the ninth studio album of English metal band Black Sabbath and their first album with singer Ronnie James Dio, Heaven and Hell. This album was in production while Ozzy Osbourne was still in Black Sabbath, but they fired him early on due to his substance usage. With this, Black Sabbath needed a new vocalist, and Iommi hired Dio, whom he met previously and was seeking a new project.
This was another solid listen, with heavy hitters such as ... read more
