Reviews Supplemental

02 Oct 2018: Falconer/"Among Beggars and Thieves" (2008)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/and-thieving-beggars.html

i probably shouldn't have skipped four albums in the middle
they went too much in the opera direction with some songs and the duets in tracks three and eleven was not at all what i wanted

03 Oct 2018: HammerFall/"Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken" (2005)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/uncompromising.html

finishing a discography
the last track is everything wrong with music; good song burdened by a pretentious intro and cancerous bonus track after the cancerous gap of silence
the bonus track is also the worst thing ever

04 Oct 2018: Yngwie J. Malmsteen/"Eclipse" (1990)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/moon-men.html

05 Oct 2018: Bad Company/"Company of Strangers" (1995)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/they-make-for-bad-company.html

the new guy sounds a lot like paul rodgers so they did a better job finding a replacement than AC/DC

06 Oct 2018: Bloodbound/"Book of the Dead" (2007)

07 Oct 2018: Blind Guardian/"Imaginations from the Other Side" (1995)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/imagine-there-is-heaven.html

i reviewed somewhere far beyond last year and really liked it but i stuck the "do the next album bro" in a part of my file i rarely look at so it took me a while to get here
oops

12 Oct 2018: Brocas Helm/"Black Death" (1988)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/rip-tyrone.html

the mixing on this album is ridiculously horrible
the album is fine
nothing wrong with it
nothing particularly right about it though

13 Oct 2018: Slowdive/"Morningrise" (1991)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/get-out-of-bed-you-asshole.html

okay so i did this short one and just complained about having to use the windows XP computer but today i spent my life savings on a new computer so real reviews can resume without interruption

14 Oct 2018: Elvis Costello/"Look Now" (2018)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/oh-shit-tree.html

i love the final guitar note of adieu paris and i don't know why
(also the best song on the album is a deluxe edition-only bonus track)

15 Oct 2018: Saxon/"Metalhead" (1999)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/does-this-mean-i-need-tuneup-and-change.html

whenever i see the word "metalhead", i think of the donkey kong country cartoon

20 Oct 2018: Ace Frehley/"Spaceman" (2018)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/man-of-space.html

ace puts absolutely no emotion into these songs
rockin' with the boys is like a shitty version of beth

23 Oct 2018: Frank Sinatra/"No One Cares" (1959)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/no-one-cares-about-your-stupid-dog.html

it's really sparse; could use some more instruments
i get that that was the style at the time but it feels empty
maybe that's the point

24 Oct 2018: The Flaming Lips/"At War with the Mystics" (2006)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/fuck-mystics.html

25 Oct 2018: Toto/"Isolation" (1984)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/all-alone.html

new singer here; he's not bad
apparently any songwriting contributions he made were SUPER-important, because this is the band's best album
(shame it's the only one with this guy)

26 Oct 2018: Orden Ogan/"Gunmen" (2017)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2018/10/bang-bang-bang.html
