Rated Bookends 8/10
'Yes it's poetry. It is the poetry of drugs and promiscuous sex! Honey. They're. On. Pot.'America is my favourite S&G song, and this might actually be my fav of their albums. The songs are glorious; all lush folk, wonderful harmonies and edgy cool. At times it strays into ridiculous pretentiousness, but, hey, it’s still a damn fine album.https://songport.link/t/simon-garfunkel-bookends-svrmezro
Rated Pet Sounds 10/10
As I go through my physical media in chronological order I'm realising that when it comes to pre-90s music, I really am a basic bitch. 'Oooh, you have Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys? Wow I bet you've got fascinating taste.'I mean, it's a fucking flawless album, what do you want?Best songs: I mean, you know the best songs.

Rated Abbey Road 10/10
I know this might come across as something of a controversial opinion here, but I think Abbey Road is quite a good album. I know, ‘woah there Nelly’ you might well be saying, ‘easy on the controversy cannon,’ but it’s true. So there.https://songport.link/t/the-beatles-abbey-road-2019-mix-t1uq1klq
Listening to CONSTANTLY by Tiffany Day, slayr
Rated Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme 6/10
Easily a contender for the worst album cover of all time, but it does have a song called The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine, which sounds like it should be a Primus song. It does not, however, sound like a Primus song.Vinylhttps://songport.link/t/simon-garfunkel-parsley-sage-rosemary-and-thyme-d4lh4yej
Listening to The Long Surrender and the Fellow Passengers of Pain by NEEDTOBREATHE, Jonah Kagen
Listening to Laugh Tracks by Knocked Loose
Rated Frozen Charlotte 8/10
Frozen Charlotte, c’est du brut de décoffrage, un mélange de riffs sales, de hurlements bibliques et de folie contrôlée. Entre le sermon apocalyptique (G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs) et les jams de guitare qui volent la vedette à sa propre voix, l’album assume son côté grand-guignol sans jamais perdre son groove. Un bordel génial, mais un vrai bordel.
Rated Foreign Tongues 8/10
Foreign Tongues est un coup de poing. Les Stones, à 80 ans, sonnent plus vivants que jamais. Entre le riff sale de Rough And Twisted, la voix de Jagger qui défie le temps sur Back In Your Life et cette reprise d’Amy Winehouse transformée en blues déjanté, c’est du pur rock’n’roll sans compromis et sans nostalgie molle. Un album qui prouve que le feu brûle encore et qu’il consume tout sur son passage.
