The great thing about streaming albums on AOL is that after worrying about whether I’ve been fair to an album I’ve only bought a song for, I can listen to it and decide. So all back to AOLDull CD Listening party.
Laws of Illussion – Sarah McLachlin – This chick is like Joni Mitchell if Joni, couldn;t write a song and had the brain of an overactive peanut. Execrable.
Mojo – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Just awful. Petty forgets everything he does well on this tedious blues lickalama. Exists for the sole purpose of making me feel superior to 90% of the rock critics in the world. One song is called “Running Man’s Bible” and sounds worse. PS: this guy sucks live -anybody who tells you otherwise is lying scum.
I’m Alive, I’m Dreaming – The Ready Set – Pop-rock and pretty good pop-rock for the ready set for teendoms.
Time Flies – Oasis – Nine out of thirteen of these songs are must owns, so you already own em. The other four aren’t so you don’t.
Playing For Change Live – The Toots Hibbert song is awesome. I just bought of it. The rest, if you’re in the market for “Love Is My Religion” go right ahead. Me? I like it and if I had more money I’d buy it all.
Existential – Grupo Fantasma – Funk plus salsa should work for me but doesn’t. The rhythms are too busy for either form.
