2025 in 2025: Day 191

It is Xmas time! And what better way to spend than listening to music endlessly? 

10,000 Volts - Ace Frehely
Well, it is Kissmas! So remembering the Ace man with his final album is probably the most fitting way to start the day. There is a lot of autotune on his vocals and his guitar solos are so awfully sloppy - especially on Back Into My Arms Again. That is the absolute worst attempt at a guitar solo I have ever heard Ace attempt. And I have watched numerous Kiss bootleg concerts where he was clearly bombed and playing like a drunken fool. HOWEVER, most of the songs themselves are really enjoyable and just Ace being awesome.. RIP Spaceman!!!
Highlights: Fightin' For Life, Up in the Sky, 10,000 Volts, Cosmic Heart
8/10

11 - Bryan Adams
BA moving further to the middle of the road with this one; not bad and there are a few songs that lift the intensity a bit, but overall most of it is kind of forgettable. Crazy that this is actually almost 20 years old now, and it is the most recent Bryan Adams album I own!
Highlights: She's Got a Way, The Way of the World, Broken Wings, Tonight We Have the Stars
7/10

11:11 Eleven Eleven - Regina Spektor
Ugh, it is Xmas - why am I wasting time listening to a zionist warbling about nothing? Because as great as a couple of the songs are, the rest is just super hipster folk jazz. She really was a great lyricist, though. But fuck her zionist nonsense and fuck israel, too!
Highlights: Back of a Truck, Braille, Buildings, 2.99 Cent Blues
6/10

12 Bar Blues - Scott Weiland
Ok, so this is what happens when your art rock student does not have blues rock musicians to make music with. You get a lot of weird noise and just bizarre songs. 
Highlights: Lady Your Roof Brings Me Down, Barbarella, Opposite Octave Reaction
6/10

14 Shots to the Dome - LL Cool J
This is some serious gangster stuff from Cool James. The man goes hard and lyrically still has some fire here.
Highlights: Funkadelic Relic, Pink Cookies in a Plastic Bag Getting Crushed by Buildings, Soul Survivor, Straight From Queens
7/10

And that is it for my Kissmas? I gots to go open some presents!

'Albums' listened to so far: 1925

Still 100 albums to go and only 6 days? This could be... interesting...
