What Are You Listening To?

DAVID BOWIE  "lodger"  cd/vinyl  1979

a revisit
his thirteenth studio album
third and final installment of the "berlin trilogy"
songs range in sound from world music, rock, post-punk sounds and remain strictly Bowie sounding
my favourite of the trilogy and certainly in my top-2 of his career
album rates 2.8 from me which means
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

fave highlights his vocal range perfectly:

Supertramp Retrospectacle - an anthology of their music spanning around 30 years. I had forgotten that Breakfast in America was such a good album, even although the cracks were beginning to show within the original group by that time - they recorded a lot of their parts separately with a lot less friction as a result.  

The opener of BIA and the lead track on the second disc of Retrospectacle ...

T-REX  "electric warrior"

Spotify listen

an artist whom i have never heard a studio album by
i am familiar with the hits and think they were a great singles band.
some blues on here, acoustic tracks too but still has that glam-rock sound that i love
if i had to pick a fault it would be that the sound is same-same for the most part
it scores 2.0 for a first up listen which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

GEORGE HARRISON  "all things must pass" cd/vinyl  1970

a revisit
his third album, first post Beatles album
a triple vinyl set released in a box
a song co-written with Dylan, also a cover of Dylan's "if not for you"
first two LPs are decent, the third is basically a "jam" which is really not necessary IMO
a good album with lots of well crafted songs
album sold 20 million copies and is widely considered by experts to the best solo set by any of the Fab Four
me, i experts, dont subscribe to the same thoughts as those experts...
i think the first LP is very good, the second reasonably good and the third a waste (should have been labelled "bonus material")
album is full of acoustic guitars with a few rockers thrown in and that steel pedal slide guitar work is brilliant IMO
album would score 2.3 from me, but 2.6 without the third LP which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

lets go for this one on this occasion:
