that's how i describe half of swift's discography shhh......trying to trigger Segue, lol Mick

i can see that. i don't like ALL of her cute-sy pop numbers. some of them just don't land for me. they come across as ain't i just precious? you who did that too? Paul Simon. and i disliike it when he does it as well, lol Mick

Trivium-What the Dead men Say (10/10) Mick

To be fair to it. AI WAS a moment. i'd say in the US a cultural milestone. and remember GD at that point kinda fell off. popiularity had faded a bit. when rhey appeared again. we all went "i remember these guys!!!" Whether AI is perfect actually is up for debate but it's importance can't be forgotten. Mick

AI is great but i feel like it's not perfect. the last 2 songs drag it down a bit IMO. Still top 5 though, Warning is fantastic and kinda doesn't get the praise it deserves. it has fans but not near enough. i'm the only FOA mark alive. i know it but i feel like people are the loons not me, lol. i think FOA is fan-fukking-tastic. Mick

Machine Head-Catharsis (8/10) Mick

i don't like the first 2 albums at all. Saviors is good but so autopilot it's laughable. Big father fan probably the sole fan but i don't care, lol album kicks ass. I actually REALLY love Uno! Mick

ok just curious,.....which one's controversial......genuinely curious? Father of all? Warning? lol. Mick

this is my fav Taylor album. but i can see how the variety of it could make it less so for others. it is truly all over the place in style. but you have to understand this album was her starting to dip her toes in the pop arena and this was the start of her journey to superstar status. but that's why you get the Country all too well. mixed with Cute-sy pop like Stay Stay Stay and the jimmy eat world Tinged State of Grace. It's her flexing a bit more. Mick

Green Day-Dookie (10/10) Mick

I felt like ranking something today. Green Day. 1. Warning 2. 21st Century Breakdown 3. Dookie 4. Nimrod 5. American Idiot 6. Father of All..... 7. Insomiac 8. Uno! 9. Tre 10. Dos 11. Saviors (it's early but i'm just placing this here.....i've had about 5 spins) 12. Revolution Radio 13. Kerplunk 14. 39/smooth I don't really like the 2 early albums at all. and the new one i'm actually calling a disappointment. yes i even think the trilogy tops it and in actuality the trio is very uneven, lol Mick

Trivium-What the Dead Men say (10/10) Billy Ocean-Love Zone (9/10) Mick

James Taylor-That's why I'm Here (10/10) Mick

i agree. but they don'tt have near the infectious effortless confidence of the last 3. but i am a newer fan and don't have the attchment to the early albums. so take that into account. Mick

Trivium-The Sin and the Sentence (10/10) I'll say it again. Trivium is one of the few bands that could make albums in one style....in this case they're melodic metal.....over and over and i swear to you. I will Never get bored. Terrific band. Mick

Mish mash of things' Jackson Browne Trivium Dan Fogelberg Billy Ocean Lamb of God Mastodon. Mick

yup, lol it's 26 minutes and i like every song. passes my test Mick

it was so basic and basic can be good. but it was like best way to describe it......level 1 metal. down to the mythic lyrics, lol Mick

Dan Fogelberg-Phoenix (9/10) Mick

Saxon-Hell, Fire And Damnation. i've said this before and this album changes nothing.......bargain bin Priest. Not good not bad just half off of what i like, lol Mick

Green Day-Father of All......(10/10) Switched over to this. sue me it's a much better bolder record. fukk you it's a great album Mick

Green Day Saviors This is a good record but it totally reads as a response to the negativity of the last one. and not to kill anyone's buzz i felt that hearing the previews. i mean even down to getting back with Rob Cavallo. Safe. tame. apology. Not to say it's bad but.........yeeea.......meh? Mick

Meat Loaf-Dead Ringer (10/10) underrated. and just as great as the original Bat IMO. Mick

Trivium-Shogun (10/10) Jackson Browne-Hold Out (10/10) Mick

Mastodon-Once More Round the Sun (9/10) these guys always gave me heavy metal Blue Oyster cult Vibes. Mick
