Your New Favourite Band
Oh my god, these guys are my new favorite band! Because they told me they are! Even though I think their music is derivative and stale! And…
-
Made In Japan
I am completely and totally sure this was not made in Japan. The music was played in Japan, I’ll give it that, but now way in creation that…
-
The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society
These guys tried SO HARD to be the new Beatles. And the new The Who. And the new Pink Floyd. And the new Kinks, even though they already…
-
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme
There are WAY better spice combinations in this world. Take equal parts of garlic powder, salt, and sugar, add some black pepper, and a…
-
…And Justice For All
Lars Ulrich is a jerk. That is, at this point, an established fact just ask one of my many cousins – You: “Hey BoomerAlbumReview’s cousin,…
-
Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde
Was this done by that guy Jerry Larsen? He was always a bit off the rails. Those cow characterizations were wild. Especially the one with…
-
Electric Warrior
Oh man, these guys are behind their time, can’t believe they came out in 2018, from that post on youtube. They should have been one of…
-
Freak Out!
Found this at a garage sale, plunked down my 25 cents, then went home and put it on the turntable. My world literally changed. I was now in…
-
Get Behind Me Satan
For some weird reason this reminds me of going to the circus. Unlike the circus, this does not have exotic animals like lions and tigers…
-
The Rise and Fall
Hard to believe a band with so many members results in such a thin sound. “Our house” bumped up the rating, if not for that it would…
-
Born To Run
I would really like to not like this. I mean, who wants somebody else to appoint themselves “the boss”? Pretty presumptive, yes? But, I…
-
This Year’s Model
Pretty good. Was at a show of his some decades ago where he insulted the audience, along the lines of “Well, you fckers showed up so let’s…
-
The Next Day
Wait, is this guy… gay or something? He seems to be a little off the beaten track. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing here. Music needs…
-
Time Out Of Mind
Did Bob ever answer Frank Zappa’s question about Mandies? Bob has gotten better at his craft as time has progressed well, that whole gospel…
-
Can’t Buy A Thrill
Really quite good, for a band named after a dildo. No, really! The name came from William S. Burroughs’ novel, “Naked Lunch”, which, if you…
-
Hybrid Theory
One really long, long song. Don’t know why they keep putting pauses in it though. That’s not a bad thing. If you enjoy the music, then a…
-
California
As I was perusing my way through all these reviews, I realized that there weren’t really any Country/Western albums present. Since I’m not…
-
Physical Graffiti
Most people think the name of this band came about because of the phrase “that’ll go over about as well as a lead balloon”, except using a…
-
The Joshua Tree
Meh. Hard to get over the arrogance of someone willfully naming himself ‘Good Voice’
-
Tracy Chapman
I had a fast car once. It was a lot of fun, and only got me in trouble once or twice. I remember it well, much better than all of the other…
-
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Pretty alright. Still, they need more chicks in this lonely hearts club. A real sausage fest as it stands
-
At Folsom Prison
Johnny always sounded kinda nervous and wired to me. In this set, he references taking some shots of cocaine, but that wouldn’t make…
-
The Notorious Byrd Brothers
Sounds like some good old country boys dropped acid then slugged down a years worth of estrogen before writing songs.
-
Pet Sounds
Music by and for limp wristed latent homosexual frat boys. The overtones of bestiality on the album cover are also a bit much.
-
Deep Purple In Rock
Purple? Probably more like indigo. Definitely not on the violet side of the spectrum. Deep? Eh, maybe. Guess that’s really a matter of…
-
The Suburbs
Whiny. Which is interesting, because if you say it a little oddly, that could sound like “wo ai ni”, which is ‘I love you’ in Chinese.…
-
Copper Blue
Sound like a discount version of the foo fighters. Probably not enough of a discount to be worth it though…
-
Dire Straits
“Dire” implies something urgent, desperate, grievously troublesome, or of a nature that invokes fear or suffering. A “strait” is a narrow…
-
Madman Across The Water
That Tony Danza song really tugs at the heart. Had no idea Elton was gay, and his love for Tony was surprising to hear about!
-
Synchronicity
I don’t understand why people are always yelling out “Run, it’s the police!” or “Fck the police!” These guys are great musicians. I…
-
My Aim Is True
Ah yeah, the other Elvis. This one never really got fat and sweaty that I’m aware of, anyway, and no one seemed to care much if he left the…
-
Veckatimest
This was not what I expected. I know I’ve said that before and will say it again, but it bears haha, get it? repeating. This is not what I…
-
Among The Living
Among the Living – how can you be Anthrax and still be among the living? Well, I mean, someone infected by anthrax. That stuff is nasty. It…
-
High Violet
I don’t have much to say about this one. I could go on and on about how the flavor and setting of each tune seemed to be highly similar…
-
Lust For Life
Iggy Pop is a music legend, so I’m told well, really, I read that, no one actually told me. So, I’m supposed to like this, right? Well,…
-
Ágætis Byrjun
Could not get into it. Dark, dull, slow Also – thank the universe for copy/paste! There is NO WAY I would have been able to type those…
-
Sign O the Times
I’m going to be honest here. I NEVER listened to Prince aside from what was on the radio way back when, so this was new to me. So, I gave…
-
Toys in the Attic
Toys In The Attic – Aerosmith Aerosmith wasn’t really a big attraction at first back in the day, as us old farts like to say. It was pretty…
-
Blonde On Blonde
Hey Bobby! Good to hear from you again! Lotsa stoned going on, for everybody. But I don’t think he means it in a way that is pleasurable to…
-
Bayou Country
Wanna talk juxtaposition? Imagine, you’re in China for the Lunar New Year that’s pretty much the biggest holiday for most in the Asian…
-
At Fillmore East
I wrote a great review for this album. It was full of wit, deep insight, and life altering observations that would have led to world peace…
-
Rust Never Sleeps
This album holds a special place in my heart. The first bass line I ever learned to play Into the Black came from this one. I sucked at it,…
-
Queens of the Stone Age
This is some hard driving grunge rock. And that’s about all I have to say about it. Well, wait a second, there is more. This would not be…
-
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Crosby, Stills and Nash, Nash and Stills and Crosby, Stills and Nash and Crosby, Stills and Crosby and Nash. Seems like something is…
-
John Barleycorn Must Die
Who is John Barleycorn, and why must he die? And who enlisted Stevie Winwood to help advertise this hit? You know what would be cool? If…
-
Vauxhall And I
Where’s Brown Eyed Girl? This is the guy who sang that, right? I don’t recognize any of the tunes on this album. What happened?
-
Fever To Tell
The most obvious joke to use here is Naw Naw Naws. There is some here to say Yeah to, but more to say Naw like, they have a track called No…
-
Music from Big Pink
I think it’s a little arrogant that they call themselves THE band, as there are many, many bands in the world. Unless they’re trying to…
