El Camino - The Black Keys
No idea where this came from. I am not sure I have listened to this or even heard a song from it in my life. Or even know who The Black Keys are. It seems fairly indie rock; short songs that all sound the same and kinda rock.
Highlights: Lonely Boy
6/10
Electric Fire - Roger Taylor
Whoever mixed this album should have been fired - could Taylor not afford someone good? Anyways, this is quite rocking and more enjoyable than I expected. Roger Taylor is such a mixed bag sometimes it is like he saved all his best material for Queen.
Highlights: Pressure On, A Nation of Haircuts, Surrender, Is It Me?, No More Fun
6.5/10
Electronic Sound - George Harrison
George's "avant-garde a clue" album. It is nice to know that a musical genius is also entertained by making silly noises on a Moog.
Highlights: Moogs are fun!
3/10
Elephant - The White Stripes
This album is bizarre and highlights the problem with Jack White; there are awesome songs on here - and they are really awesome - but there is also garbage. And it is really boring garbage. Not really sure what his deal is, but I always get the impression he thinks he is way more amazing than he actually is? I don't know.
Highlights: Seven Nation Army, There's No Home for You Here, The Air Near My Fingers
6.5/10
ELEVEN FIRE CRACKERS - ELLEGARDEN
Pizza: ready. Drink: cold. Volume: UP! This album has everything and it is all shades of awesome. I am seeing this band tonight. In 10 hours. Needless to say, I can not wait.
Highlights: Find a bad song - I dare ya!
10//10
Eliminator - ZZ Top
Every LOGMAN's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. Especially Jimmy Garvin. I'm sure this version of Legs is different to the one used in the video, but I could be wrong. What I am right about is that this album is at its best when it is really pushing the driving dance beats.
Highlights: Sharp Dressed Man, Legs, Gimme All Your Lovin', Got Me Under Pressure
6.5/10
Elixer - Bria Valente
Prince really overestimated how much sex sold, IMO. I don't think any of his 'proteges' ever really hit it big the way he expected. Pretty sure he could have put more effort in to these songs and made them much better himself.
Highlights: Another Boy, All This Love
6/10
ELLEGARDEN - ELLEGARDEN
The debut E.P. from the greatest band ever. More pizza and cold drink on hand. Is there really much difference between this and the album version of The End of the World? I actually always forget about these songs, which is silly because there are a few super fun awesome songs. Only 7 1/2 hours until the concert.
Highlights: Stupid, Punk, ナイフ
9/10
ELLEGARDEN BEST (1999-2008) - ELLEGARDEN
So the actual album was my initial introduction to ELLEGARDEN and is just the best compilation ever. Of course, this is not that; I have kept the re-recorded songs (because bah gawd I actually think I love this version of Middle of Nowhere!?!?) and then thrown on all the b-sides and whatnot to make my own compilation. And it is all very very awesome because it is ELLEGARDEN and they are awesome. But also, some of their b-sides like New Year's Day and The Autumn Song are some of their absolute best songs. In fact, two of them were already on this compilation. Weirdos. 6 hours until the concert.
Highlights: New Year's Day and Don't Trust Anyone But Us are like 7 stars out of 5
9.5/10
Without ELLEGARDEN this day would have been a terrible listening experience. I need to get my butt to the concert!
