http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/11/witty-retordt_22.html

27 Nov 2021: Deep Purple/"Turning to Crime" (2021)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/11/but-i-aint-got-wings.html

rockin pneumonia is one of those songs where it starts, then three minutes later, i'm like "this shit is still going?"

there's a cover of oh well here
it doesn't sound anywhere near as cool as the original
and making it into a "hard rock" song does not work
(this track is what i assume inspired the name of the album)

another spotify recommendation
before ac/dc, bon scott did this
it's clearly not ac/dc
i believe people call this "progressive rock"
i don't know a lot of these genres are bullshit

it's a fun novelty, but no one would care if not for the connection to ac/dc and then the complete contrast from ac/dc

01 Dec 2021: Prince/"Purple Rain" (1984) [revisited]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/12/purple-rain-revisited.html

my original review of purple rain lists when doves cry as filler, so it is automatically invalid
a 0.5 for purple rain?
seriously?
what the fuck is past me's problem

it's clearly a 3/5

05 Dec 2021: Volbeat/"Servant of the Mind" (2021)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2021/12/witty-retordt_5.html
