'first strike' is a bit of a misnomer as it is the only strike

i'm not going to listen to the new pearl jam album because i really don't want to hear vedder bitch about trump (same reason i didn't listen to the new green day album)
it's a shame that so many people to this day are still obsessed

this might be the worst AOR i've ever heard
the title track is by far the worst one here

01 Apr 2020: Elvis Costello/"Armed Forces" (1979) [revisited]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2020/04/armed-forces-revisited.html

this is my lowest-rated costello album and i can't remember why
i mean it's not the best costello album but it's definitely not a 1/5

http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2020/04/angles-3-skew-hardest.html

it's been seven years since comedown machine, which was simply godawful
angles had two really good tracks (under cover of darkness and macchu pichu) but the rest sucked
the band needs a good album
this isn't it

the album opens with the adults are talking, which is simply awful
luckily, that's the worst track here
the rest are simply mediocre

http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2020/04/witty-retordt_15.html

not having reviewed this album before now is completely out of character for me

the second track features the line:
"you're a liar liar liar with your pants on fire"
maybe it's a good thing this genre died off

up all night was made with the intent to pander to me specifically (even though i wasn't born yet) and i don't give extra points for that
mad about you is legit though
