This is take 1. I had read it was pretty awesome, and they were right. Apart from some messing up by the guitarist, Elvis' vocal delivery is actually better in some parts. Awesome song. And if I had waited, I would have had this with my 50th Anniversary collection of the '68 Comeback Special. One day I might import that last CD in to my library...
10/10
If I Die Tomorrow - Mötley Crüe
If I remember correctly, this was the first reunion single. It is nowhere near as good as anything on Saints of Los Angeles.
6/10
If Not Now, Then When... ? - The Edge of Victory
Oh, hey, look - it is me! Yes, I have my music in my iTunes library. Because why would I make music that I do not want to listen to? I would, however, like to have better vocals on this darn thing. And less loser vibes. But I dig my bass work on this whole thing and my guitar tone was perfection.
Highlights: To, Not, Be, Time, Then
7.5/10
III - Ryan Adams
Technically, this is Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, but it was only ever credited to DRA. Because of ego, probably? Anyways, this is pretty much just 90s indie college rock stylings. And I quite enjoy it. Wasteland may well be his best non-alt country songs ever.
Highlights: Wasteland, Stop Playing With My Heart, Users
7/10
III: Temples of Boom - Cypress Hill
Such a total change of pace from their first two albums; much more chilled, musically, but lyrically they are a lot angrier. Especially when dissing Ice Cube. Dude got murderised.
Highlights: Let It Rain, Make a Move, Throw Your Set in the Air, Everybody Must Get Stoned
7/10
Ill Communication - Beastie Boys
Killer rap songs, funky samples, groovy instrumentals, hardcore punk nonsense. This album has it all. Even awesome cameos and a little bit of the Biz.
Highlights: Sure Shot, Root Down, Sabotage, Get It Together, The Scoop
8.5/10
Ill Communication (2009 Remastered Edition) - Beastie Boys
And, of course, this is the bonus disc. The remixes are cool and work because the lyrics are so good you can really focus on them, and the hardcore stuff is just the business. This why these guys were the best.
Highlights: Root Down [Free Zone Mix], Resolution Time, Heart Attack Man [Live], Mullet Head
7/10
Imagine - John Lennon
Probably Lennon's most radio-friendly solo release. And forcing that is why it is not as great as his other solo albums. Songs about peace and love and how much Paul McCartney can get these hands or something. Harrison's guitar playing is very subtle.
Highlights: Oh Yoko!, Imagine, Crippled Inside, Give Me Some Truth
7.5/10
