Yeah, I can appreciate dad-rock more than a lot of other people, but this is just too much. Rory's whole playing style is just so abhorrent to me. There's no subtlety or humor whatsoever. It almost makes me want to recommend Gabe the amazing
You don't listen to a record of blues playing for "subtleties" in composition merits. Rory was hugely emotive and talented, and if you are looking for something other than blues/blues-rock stylings than you are being rather foolish.
Seems you know what I like, but that’s not a surprise since we’ve spent so much time on plug.dj throwing music back and forth of all sorts between the contemporary and abstract divide. Anyway, I can’t really express what I think about electronic music in words very well but I liked the synths and atmosphere of the record very much so to the point I was sort of entranced by the whole thing. I’ll be giving it a second listen after my job interview, but I’m fairly confident this will make my electronic chart and is another stone in getting me further into electro/techno sort of stuff.
Okay, I made it. It wasn't nearly as painful in the second half, but it was still way too long, and I just am so bored of white people playing the blues that won't get you laid.
Anyway, Gowi, I must suggest to you a great epic of one immortal BEA'er's canon:

Revolver was the sound of an evolving social conscious- a sublime coming of age, an introduction to the "now" as we know it. Blonde on Blonde is the smokey breath of autumnal energy onto entangled lovers, tussling about within rustic apartment complexes. Pet Sounds beams with the weary eyed wonder and sadness of fading youth.
Animalize by KISS is the sound of fire-winged bionic falcons flying out of the mouth of a giant pharaoh-beast. It is probably the sweetest album of all time. Erupting out of the gates with a triple song attack i like to refer to as "the fire trilogy" (1. Into the Fire, 2. Heaven's on Fire, 3. Burn Bitch Burn) the Paul Stanley produced monolith of post-apocalyptic greatness boasts some of the most extreme and ruthless air guitar worthy moments in rock n roll. While I would never consider this album "challenging", it does beg some requirements from the listener;
The listener should be at least three of the following:
- black out drunk
- driving a sweet car over 90 miles per hour
- extremely pumped up
- about to get into a huge fight
- staring a mature scorpion in the face
- injecting questionable steroids
- aggressively horny
- hanging out with a group of dads
When Paul Stanley starts singing "Get All You Can Take", something starts to become obnoxiously evident- this album rules. Paul Stanley belts out what seem to be the highest notes of all time, even when he's singing low. Every lyric is about fire, sex, driving fast, and fire.
This is the only KISS album to feature virtuoso guitarist Mark St. John. After recording this album, he developed such terrible arthritis that he had to quit the band. Recording Animalize literally made his hands break. After odd-meter strut fest of Simmons' "Lonely is the Hunter', Paul Stanley delivers the most badass four minutes and one second of the entire 20th century with "Under the Gun". Now I don't want to get too deep into this, let it suffice to say that I can't listen to this song around other people because i'd punch their lights out.
"Thrills in the Night" is the sleazy-post-apocalyptic-hooker-story to end all sleazy-post-apocalyptic-hooker-stories. It oozes smut and genius. Paul Stanley sounds like he should be wearing a cyborg eye and singing on top of a toxic landfill. "While the City Sleeps" and "Murder in High Heels" are two Gene Simmons songs that some people (losers) could call "throwaway" because he was supposedly just fucking Cher all the time and never working on the album. In my opinion this makes those songs way more advanced. And thats what this album is, so advanced...sooooooo advanced.
^^^ haha! I'm now in love with MaxPrenchio. That review has a key element that the album in question is ironically devoid of - Fire. LOL. Coming off their huge & great comeback album - Lick It Up, Kiss just mailed this one in. For some INSPIRED pop metal with actual fire from 1984 may I suggest ...
I've actually heard both these and Let It Die. Was way into Feist a few years ago. Would happily re-listen to one of those if you want. It's been a little while
Oh ok, great to see a fellow Feist fan! In that case have you heard this one?

To be perfectly honest I didn't think I would like this very much at first. Seemed like a fairly conventional chamber pop/indie w/folk elements type thing that I heard way too much of across the whole of the 00s, but there was definitely something here that held my attention. Idk it felt like a little more than a basic rehashing of ideas I've heard time and time again, even if it did contain many of those same characteristics they were executed in an above average fashion. Not sure I'll be revisiting the album necessarily, but I did enjoy it 😄
