Remixes of Scandalous from the Batman soundtrack. One has a big extended guitar solo, one has Kim Basinger talking like Prince is trying to mack on her.
Highlights: That big guitar solo?
6.5/10
Scary Monsters - David Bowie
80s Bowie is just a lot of fun with his oddity. And funky basslines.
Highlights: Ashes to Ashes, Fashion, Kingdom Come, Teenage Wildlife
7/10
Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters
Is this gayest album of 2004? Turning Pink Floyd into a club dance song would certainly suggest that. The whole thing just constantly switches between Elton John doing 70s pop and late 90s club remixes.
Highlights: Music is the Victim, Take Your Mama Out, Filthy/Gorgeous, Laura
6.5/10
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Various Artists
Super hipster indie rock all the way, but some of it is pretty good. Especially the songs performed by the bands in the movie. I would totally go to a Sex Bob-omb concert.
Highlights: We Are Sex-Bob-omb - Sex Bob-omb, Black Sheep - Metric, Teenage Dream - T-Rex, Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl - Broken Social Scene
6.5/10
Scoundrel Days - a-ha
More of the usual from these dudes, somewhat darker? It was the mid-90s, so everyone was on that kick, but it is still kind of a mature pop thing.
Highlights: Cry Wolf, Manhattan Skyline, Scoundrel Days, The Swing of Things
7/10
Scream & Shout [Single] - will.i.am
It says Britney Spears is here, but is that her doing the British speaking voice? Repetitive trash. Which could apply to almost every song by will.i.am or Britney Spears.
4/10
Sea Change - Beck
This was the album that got me interested in Beck; it is more acoustic and introspective than anything else he had released to that point, and that was the sort of thing I saw myself doing. There are some good songs, but some of it is a bit... uninteresting. All very chill. Particularly compared to his other work.
Highlights: Sunday Sun, Lost Cause, Lonesome Tears
6/10
Second Sighting - Frehley's Comet
Nothing as catchy as the debut Frehley's Comet album, but still pretty decent Ace Frehley rock album. His style never changes. And that was a good thing. RIP Ace!!!
Highlights: Insane, It's Over Now, Loser in a Fight, Juvenile Delinquent
7/10
Secret - Ayumi Hamasaki
Big beats. Big strings. Big rock guitars. Big hooks. Big ballads. Big feels. Big anthems. If I ever met an Ayu fan that did not love this album, I would be big skeptical of them.
Highlights: Startin', Born to Be..., kiss o' kill, BLUE BIRD, Beautiful Fighters
9/10
Secret Samadhi - Live
This was Live trying to be a bit darker and edgier and just ending up being noisier and messier. And half these songs genuinely sound the same. Some really lame lyrics and even lamer guitar solos.
Highlights: Graze, Lakini's Juice, Gas Hed Goes West
6/10
SEE YOU - BiSH
Ah I missed BiSH! BiSH is OVER episode something seven? For every great month, there was a really average month. This was one of the latter.
Highlights: I am wasting my time with this marathon when I could be listening to better BiSH
6/10
Seeker Lover Keeper - Seeker Lover Keeper
Three of Australia's top indie folk women unite to make a super group of indie folk women and the result is... amazing lyrics and killer harmonies. I would say it is possibly a little underwhelming, but honestly it is pretty much what it says it is on the box. And I will always have all the heart emojis for Sarah Blasko.
Highlights: Even Though I'm a Woman, Light All My Lights, Bridges Burned, We Will Know What It Is
7/10
Send Away the Tigers - Manic Street Preachers
The most consistent rock album by the Manics. It is just straight up Summer rock, like they have been listening to ELLEGARDEN all Summer like me! Except Summer is only just beginning. And replace actual Summer lyrics with a communist manifesto.
Highlights: Your Love Alone is Not Enough, Indian Summer, The Second Great Depression, Rendition, Autumnsong
9/10
Seventeen Seconds - The Cure
Well, this sure is a change of pace. The REAL first album by The Cure. Lots of dark space and atmosphere and clean guitars.
Highlights: A Forest, Seventeen Seconds, Play For Today
7/10
SEX AND LOVE - Enrique Iglesias
Enrique and every guest artist he could find! And Pitbull just hanging around as usual. Some of this is just by the numbers, but some of it is a full on PARTY! And the ballads are pretty much all perfection.
Highlights: Bailando, There Goes My Baby, El Perdedor, Physical, Heart Attack
7/10
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
I gave a detailed review of this album waaaay back in the day! And I still maintain it is overrated.
Highlights: A Day in the Life, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, With a Little Help from My Friends, Sgt, Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
7/10
