The album that actually got me interested in Supergrass. It kind of trails off towards the end, but it is otherwise some strong rocking numbers. I appreciate the way these guys can just play really tasty stuff and then completely let loose and unleash mayhem.
Highlights: Going Out, In It For the Money, Tonight, Sun Hits the Sky
7/10
In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 - Jay-Z
How can Diddy sing so off the actual key and just keep this in the track? Early Hove is fine and all, just a bit gross for me at times.
Highlights: The City is Mine, Streets is Watching, Friend or Foe '98, You Must Love Me
7/10
in my mind - The Tomboys
The usual low-budget punk rock'n roll from Kobe's favourite daughters. This one feels especially budget, thanks to the terrible guitar solos and awful singing on だいだい. Good times!
Highlights: GO MERRY GO!, 幸せであふれるように, シャララ
6.5/10
The In Sound From Way Out - Beastie Boys
This is basically a compilation of their instrumental jams on Check Your Head and Ill Communication, but with a couple of new tracks.
Highlights: Son of Neckbone, In 3's, Bobo on the Corner, Lighten Up
8/10
In the Garden - Eurythmics
So very unlike where Eurythmics headed after this; much more in the new-romantic post-punk vein, but less interesting. Not terrible, but there is nothing that holds any real emotional weight or grabs the listener the way their later releases do. This is another group's discography where I need to separate the bonus tracks to their own album and keep the original albums as they were.
Highlights: Belinda, Your Time Will Come, Le Sinestre
6.5/10
In the Name of Love [EP] - CL
CL is a goddess amongst us mere mortals. If this were an album, I would have given it album of the year honours for 2019.
Highlights: +DONE161201+, +ONE AND ONLY180228+, +I QUIT180327+, +PARADOX171115+
9/10
In The Zone - Britney Spears
There is something about Britney trying to be all sexy that I just find absolutely hilarious. Also, her singing is all sorts of terrible it makes me laugh when her fans online start all sorts of nonsense about she can sing like Christina Aguilera or whatnot. Anyways, the production on this album is a bit dated and the songs do not hold up well.
Highlights: Toxic, (I Got That) Boom Boom, The Hook Up, Everytime
6/10
Incesticide - Nirvana
I do not know if I have listened to this album since I was 16. I used to get confused by the tracklisting on side two all the time. Or maybe that was Bleach - that was missing a song that was listed. Fun fact: the first song I ever performed like in any capacity was from this album! I loved Nirvana. Kids are stupid.
Highlights: Aneurysm, Dive, Been a Son, Big Long Now
7/10
Indigo Nights - Prince
Live CD that came with the book. I think it was cobbled together from all his after-show performances. Because Prince was a madman. I, personally, find this to be super funky and an all-round great time. I read a lot of Prince fans online were super unhappy with this release, but Shizzzz I ain't afraid of you mofos! On the one!
Highlights: Alphabet St, Indigo Nights, Baby Love, 3121
8/10
Infinity - Journey
When Journey rock, they can really rock. Possibly the most enjoyable radio-rock band of the 70s and 80s that I did not listen to in the 70s or 80s.
Highlights: Wheel in the Sky, Lights, Feeling That Way, Anytime
7/10
Infinity on High - Fall Out Boy
Jay-Z with the most random and pointless cameo - he doesn't even rap, just does the musical equivalent of waving hello. I actually thought the censored version of This Ain't a Scene, It's An Arms Race was more interesting, thanks to the way it was censored.
Highlights: The Take Over The Break's Over, Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?, The (After) Life of the Party, G.I.N.A.S.F.S.
7.5/10
The Information - Beck
BECK: Congratulations, friend.
BENDER: Why, 'cause I can make annoying noises?
BECK: Exactly. I use those all the time in my music.
Highlights: Think I'm in Love, Nausea, Inside Out
