The last album recorded and by George Harrison and released a year after his death. It isn't his most exciting work, but I mean at this stage he was an old man and dying of cancer, so it's more of a chill musing on religion and just being an old man in a dumb world. And when I simplify it to that, I find that whole thing a bit relateable! George Harrison was cool.
Highlights: P2 Vatican Blues (Last Saturday Night), Looking for My Life, Brainwashed

Brand New By Tomorrow - Money Mark
Yes, that Money Mark! This is all very laid back keyboard-driven almost soul/R'n'B groovy stuff. Musically, very reminiscent of the instrumental jams Beastie Boys were known for. Which kind of makes sense, really. It's all very harmless. The song title Eyes That Ring made me think of Eyes Like Twins by Wilson Phillips, and I'm questioning why I don't have Wilson Phillips in my library. Stupid me having all the great stuff like that only on vinyl.
Highlights: Pick Up the Pieces, Black Butterfly

Brand-New Idol Shit - BiSH
BiSH's debut album is actually the last one I got; I'm not sure if it was the songs I had heard or simply the very different lineup, but I was not initially interested in this album - and this is after I became a raging fan of this wonderful group. I was missing out, because there are some insanely ridiculous tracks on here. There are a few that were re-recorded later with the next lineup (and then again with the final line-up for their final release - nice and pointless), and I legit have no idea what in the blue hell is going on with カラダ・イデオロギー. Are they imitating chickens or Muppets or Muppet chickens? Otherwise, this is a highly enjoyable album that will be rendered obsolete once I finally upload their pizza box set to my iTunes library...
Highlights: DA DANCE!!, Lonely girl, Story Brighter
7/10
Brass Knuckles - Nelly
Listening to Nelly make MySpace references is about as out of touch as I could possibly be. This is all pretty standard Nelly stuff; which LOGMAN generally enjoys. And we get a lot of cameos on this album; from LL Cool J to Snoop and Nate Dogg to Chuck D to... R Kelly. Ugh. That... does not surprise me. Anyways, this album is actually much better than I recall. It's no Nellyville, but it is groovy.
Highlights: U Ain't Him, Hold Up, L.A., Who Fuck Wit Me
6/10
Break My Stride - Unique II
I loved this song back in '98. Which is only two years after it was released - so I probably felt pretty current! This single is just 3 different version and the all sound similar, just one is shorter than the others.
6/10
Break Out - The Pointer Sisters
How do I only have two songs? I certainly know of a few more that should be here, but oh well.
Highlights: Jump, I'm So Excited
8/10
THE BREAKDOWN [Single] - Prince
Had I known this song would be released on an upcoming album, I likely wouldn't have purchased it, but it never hurts to have more Prince in your music collection.
7/10
Breakfast at Sweethearts - Cold Chisel
Conversations almost sounds like a demo, the way Jimmy's voice is so darn rough and raw. A lot of harmonica on this album. This must be Chisel's least commercial album? It's fine and all, but it does just kind of meander about and doesn't really go anywhere. A lot of songs about Sydney's nightlife. And Jimmy sure sounds like he's been up all night.
Highlights: Dresden, Goodbye (Astrid Goodbye)
6/10
The Breakfast Club (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - Various Artists
Interestingly, I only have two songs from this soundtrack. You would think I would have the whole thing. But at least it is the two most important songs from the soundtrack.
Highlights: Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds, Fire in the Twilight - Wang Chung
9/10
Breakout - Miley Cyrus
Time for some early Miley pop fun. And, funnily enough, this is the second or third album from 2008 today. This is all upbeat pop/rock and it is mostly great fun.
Highlights: Breakout, 7 Things, The Driveway, Full Circle, These Four Walls
6.5/10
Brick by Brick - Iggy Pop
Naturally, this is only the song Candy. Iggy is so terrible but Kate Pierson is so awesome it balances out and makes for a fantastic song.
8/10
Bricks Are Heavy - L7
It took me listening to the whole album to finally realise where I know Shitlist from - it's in Natural Born Killers. Very fitting. This album is like most L7 albums; heavy and dirty and big dumb fun.
Highlights: Pretend We're Dead, Everglade, Shitlist, This Ain't Pleasure
