2025 in 2025: Day 70

Family Affair - MC Hammer
Lots of preaching and reworking songs from Too Tight (Hammer's aborted album at Death Row). And a song by Tupac? And then some reworking of a couple of older songs. They are not as good as the originals. I like Hammer, and this is all fairly harmless, but I am still not convinced this needed to be a double-album.
Highlights: Never Without You, Praise Dance Theme Song, Unconditional Luv, Keep On, Let's Get it Started
6/10

fantasia - LAMP IN TERREN
Another band I forget are very good. I have another album from them and I always seem to listen to that more, so that makes listening to this now a timely reminder that this album is also solid and deserves more attention.
Highlights: キャラバン, 地球儀, 涙星群の夜, at (liberty), eve
7/10

Far - Regina Spektor
Comments about god and war are pretty silly coming from a staunch Zionist. By the time we got to this album, I feel like her quirkiness is overwhelming the actual good songwriting.
Highlights: Eet, Dance Anthem of the 80's
5/10

Fasterpiece - Sad Dracula
I think after his whole being cancelled, DRA should have just changed his name to Sad Dracula and released music that way. Because it suits the way he acts these days. This album is kind of decent, being that whole 80s college radio sound, but it does run out of steam.
Highlights: Starfire, California Gasoline, Lost and Found, S.O.S., Waiting for the Sun
6.5/10

The Fat of the Land - The Prodigy
Almost 30 years later and this album still kicks all the butt everywhere all the time. Punk dance music at its absolute finest (and butt kicking). That cover of Fuel My Fire is like a whole different banana.
Highlights: Smack My Bitch Up, Breathe, Narayan, Fuel My Fire
9/10

Fear of Flying - Mya
This is just Case of the Ex. Whatever happened to Mya? She was like the whole package.
8/10

"Albums" listened to so far: 558
