http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/12/combustion.html

the first track is some of the most pretentious filler i've ever heard
but it has a nice guitar solo so that's something

24 Dec 2018: Toto/"The Seventh One" (1988)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/12/seventh-album-of-seventh-band.html

first track, they try to be george michael
second track, they try to be michael jackson
third track is a shitty '80s ballad
then they go back to being george michael for a while

the guitar tone on track six is nice

25 Dec 2018: "The Jethro Tull Hanukkah Album" (2003)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/12/marry-christ.html

the first track starts off REALLY well
this would have been better if they'd hacked off some of the tracks toward the end

http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/12/playin-to-not-lose.html

hate the gang vocals on the first track
they're the absolute weakest gang vocals i've ever heard

29 Dec 2018: Peter Green/"The End of the Game" (1970)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/12/petey-g.html

http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/12/from-back-of-line.html

i got a new game with a licensed soundtrack and you know what that means

they try to be led zeppelin but make a stop along the way at wolfmother
i'd rather listen to wolfmother
like, wolfmother guy's voice is more pleasing to my ears than this guy
track three's chorus is really annoying

After ten years or so, I've finally run out of excuses for keeping The Beatles as the first review of every month. 2018 was a send-off to those reviews, where I actually relistened to every one of their albums.
So now I'm out of their albums, and I had to come up with something new. Rather than just posting the same shit over and over, I will find new shit to post over and over.
I have 12 reviews lined up; one for the first of each month. I am going to re-listen to another band's discography, and see how it goes.

01 Jan 2019: Radiohead/"Pablo Honey" (1993) [revisited]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2019/01/pablo-honey-revisited.html

note that, like radiohead's actual discography, these reviews will likely get more interesting as time passes

you is a strange opener; i guess it sets a tone but that's about it
it's not one of the memorable songs on the album
i mean, it's good
but that's it

creep exists
i don't know how it got so popular
it's kind of boring
STP did it better
(also the she's running out the door part sucks)

how do you? is one of the few songs i remembered going in
everyone likes a nice normal rock song every once in a while

stop whispering is the longest song on the album and i wish it would fuck off
it's like a really bad oasis song
like this could be on be here now and i wouldn't bat an eye

thinking about you is a nice little song
anyone can play guitar is the best song on the album undeniably
ripcord is another nice tune; same with vegetable and prove yourself and i can't
lurgee exists
blow out is a nice ending to the album; probably the most radiohead-like song on the album, even if that's not saying much of anything

pablo honey is a good album that gets too much shit because radiohead got so much better as they went on
their discography wouldn't be the same without it; it's important to show where and how they started, and then the evolution as time goes on

02 Jan 2019: The Wonder Years/"Sister Cities" (2018)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2019/01/minnesota.html

after that brief intermission, it's time for more videogames songs
this singer's only mode is a whine
on the title track, they actually try, which is nice

03 Jan 2019: Bass Drum of Death/"GB City" (2011)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2019/01/gigabyte-city.html

this band had a song in forza horizon 4 from a more recent album, but i felt i should start earlier because i might actually like this band
they're just okay at best
bad at worst (which happens a lot)

04 Jan 2019: Bat Fangs/"Bat Fangs" (2018)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2019/01/baseball-playing-vampires.html

more videogames
featuring women this time

05 Jan 2019: Red Sun Rising/"Thread" (2018)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2019/01/stitch.html

last of the videogame

06 Jan 2019: LCD Soundsystem/"Sound of Silver" (2007)

07 Jan 2019: Screaming Trees/"Change Has Come" (1989)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2019/01/i-told-you-it-was-gonna-come.html
