25 Mar 2023: Fall Out Boy/"So Much for Stardust" (2023)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2023/03/witty-retordt_25.html

the band said this album would be a return to rock n roll after they completely and utterly failed to save rock n roll with their dumb pop music
more accurately, it combines their early era and later era pretty effectively
you can definitely tell the band has been through both eras; they haven't simply time warped back to 2005
some songs lean more toward the pop era, like heaven iowa

http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2023/03/witty-retordt_29.html

a couple of years ago, saxon released a bad covers album
now they've released another for some reason

the cover of man on the silver mountain is fine but like
why would i ever listen to it sung by anyone other than dio

http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2023/04/ritchie-blackmores-rainbow-revisited.html

this is the only one of the dio-era Rainbow albums i didn't give a 4.5 to on RYM, instead giving it a 3
it deserves that rating
aside from man on the silver mountain, they hadn't gotten it together yet

http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2023/04/remember-that-embarrassing-thing-you.html

the title track starts with a guy with a deeper voice singing, and it's not very good
which is a shame because the rest of the song is great

another spotify recommendation
when the dude starts doing the higher-pitched yell-singing in the first track, it's just bad

starting the album off with by far its worst track was a bold move, considering the fact that i almost turned it off right there and went to find something else

12 Apr 2023: Panic! At the Disco/"Viva Las Vengeance" (2022)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2023/04/witty-retordt_12.html

finishing a panic! at the discography
the fifth track might be the band's best song in spite of its horrible name
