Got some reviews, only a few this time tho
>Dicks - Dicks Hate the Police / Lifetime Problems / All Night Fever (1980)
Wow, rym reviewers hold this release in very high regards. Like, they’re right, but since when is rym right about punk singles?
>8/10
>Dicks - Kill From the Heart (1983)
The slight blues edge heard on the single really comes out in force on their debut full length. Every member of this four piece makes the crazed, pounding sound work so well, but Gary Floyd’s vocal contribution is irreplaceable. The last track goes on for about 10 minutes too long though.
>8-/10
>The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses (1989)
Cool mix of 80s UK indie rock, funk, and disco. There are so many iconic songs here.
>7+/10
>Crimpshine - Sleep, What’s That? (1988)
Man, the drums are so weird and shitty on the first song, and mixed so loudly too. And did he the bass player just sneak in the melody from Take On Me in the middle of the song? I should listen to more Bay Area pop punk.
>7-/10
>JPEGMAFIA - Veteran (2018)
The production is the real star attraction here. “Peggy” creates all sorts of highly creative, high-frequency, twitchy, fractured beats—equal parts genius and garbage. The rapping is a lot more variable in quality, and usually doesn’t work too well with the beats. When it does, though, it’s great.
>6+/10
>New Order - Substance (1987)
“Ceremony”, “Temptation,” (especially) “Blue Monday,” “Bizarre Love Triangle,” and “True Faith” are some of the best songs ever written—with little exaggeration, so it’s no wonder that even other charting hits like “Shellshock” and “State of the Nation” seem trite by comparison.
>8+/10
>Joy Division - An Ideal for Living (1978)
Wow, their punk was almost as good as their post-punk.
>7-/10
