the strokes' best album

02 Sep 2022: Slash/"Living the Dream" (2018)

03 Sep 2022: Megadeth/"The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead!" (2022)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/witty-retordt.html

megadeth's best album since the system has failed, without a doubt
police truck doesn't work without jello's manic delivery, however (and/or without ridiculous censorship)

04 Sep 2022: Two-Door Cinema Club/"Keep on Smiling" (2022)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/or-else.html

05 Sep 2022: Burning Brides/"Hang Love" (2007)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/witty-retordt_5.html

you know what annoys the shit out of me
a band with one great song and nothing else of value

06 Sep 2022: White Zombie/"Make Them Die Slowly" (1989)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/witty-retordt_6.html

may as well finish a discography
every song here overstays its welcome, but at least the album is under 40 minutes

07 Sep 2022: Protest the Hero/"Scurrilous" (2011)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/scandalous.html

08 Sep 2022: Voivod/"Killing Technology" (1987)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/the-knife-gun.html

starting an album off with a song that begins with fifty seconds of a cardiac monitor is fucking retarded
the worst part is that the song itself is very good

09 Sep 2022: Forbidden/"Forbidden Evil" (1988)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/witty-retordt_9.html

a spotify recommendation

10 Sep 2022: Ozzy Osbourne/"Patient Number 9" (2022)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/number-nine-number-nine-number-nine.html

i must say right away: i definitely prefer zakk and all the guest guitarists to gus g
gus g made me appreciate zakk

in spite of all the guests, the best songs are the zakk songs
i suppose you can't beat over 30 years of chemistry

ends on a filler track instead of the ballad for some reason
easily ozzy's best album since black rain though

11 Sep 2022: Blind Illusion/"The Sane Asylum" (1988)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/witty-retordt_11.html

the best band les claypool was ever in

16 Sep 2022: Venom/"At War with Satan" (1984)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/grammatically-ambiguous.html

the first track is twenty minutes long
also: does the title mean
A: at war against satan
B: at war alongside satan
the title is grammatically ambiguous to be sure

another spotify recommendation and i'm skeptical
it starts off well but quickly nosedives

23 Sep 2022: Weezer/"Autumn" (2022)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/09/too-much-weezer.html

spotify listed this as a triple EP
however they included Spring and Summer with it (in reverse order) so i listened to both of those again without realising i'd heard it before
(the track title "Cuomoville" did seem familiar)

SO
i am posting this as a review of Autumn, featuring revisits of Summer and Spring

Summer is much worse than i'd given it credit for the first time around
Spring is in the same boat
i'm sure that it's because i foolishly listened to all three right in a row, so i won't change my RYM rating

i also assembled a superior single EP comprised of the best songs from Spring, Summer, and Autumn
it's mostly Autumn
hopefully Winter continues the upward trend


COMBINED EP:
1. Can't Dance, Don't Ask Me
2. Get Off on the Pain
3. What Happens After You?
4. Francesca
5. Should She Stay or Should She Go
6. Wild at Heart
7. Cuomoville
8. Thank You and Good Night
