needed more time in the oven
even at just 36 minutes, there isn't enough good music here to fill the runtime
the cover of amazing grace sucks

i don't know why i keep doing this to myself
i keep listening to just tonight and being like "i should do another album by these guys"
"one of them has to be good eventually"
i really need to cut that out

25 Feb 2021: Pagan Altar/"Pagan Altar" (1982)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/02/witty-retordt_25.html

it could have been better if they had focused on the music part rather than the satan part

01 Mar 2021: KISS/"KISS" (1974) [revisited]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/03/kiss-and-hotter-than-hell-revisited.html

i'd like to check if the only reason i don't have a KISS studio album rated 4/5 or higher is because when i started, i didn't want to give them one
the album is mostly filler unfortunately
there are three standout tracks, but there would have been four if they hadn't ruined black diamond with that outro
whatever onto the next one


01 Mar 2021: KISS/"Hotter Than Hell" (1974) [revisited]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/03/kiss-and-hotter-than-hell-revisited.html

opening with got to choose was a fucking weird choice
parasite is RIGHT THERE

dinosaur jr did goin blind better

hotter than hell is better than the debut and is that 4/5 i mentioned earlier


however, if KISS has released ONE album in 1974, it would have been GREAT (like a 10/10 classic)
see:
side a:
Strutter
Parasite
Goin' Blind
Hotter Than Hell
Mainline
Deuce

side b:
Let Me Go Rock 'n' Roll
All the Way
Watchin' You
Comin' Home
100,000 Years
Black Diamond (sans outro)
