8/10
Traction - Supergroove
This album is so strangely mixed; they are predominantly a funk and ska band, yet the guitars are mixed WAY up the front, to the point where the vocals sound like they are behind a wall., and that snare has some seriously humongous reverb. And I cannot say I am a fan of the guitar tone at all. But the groove sure is... super. Thank you, I will be here all the time listening to my never-ending iTunes library...
Highlights: Can't Get Enough, Next Time,
7/10
Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
Talk about soul! Tales of living less than good lives; heartache, abuse, fighting for a better life and just wanting to get away from it all.
Highlights: Fast Car, Baby Can I Hold You, Talkin' Bout a Revolution, Scorpio Girls, You Gotta Know
7/10
Trampoline - The Mavericks
I have only the one song - Dance the Night Away. Pretty they really only have one song, right? People love hearing this song live, for some reason.
7.5/10
Transformers: History of Music 1984-1990 - Various Artists
This is a MASSIVE compilation of all the music used in the Japanese anime adaptations of The Transformers. Every piece of music is here, from opening and closing themes to incidental music and karaoke versions. This compilation originally included a song by PSYCHIC LOVER and was my first real introduction to Japanese pop & rock music! Basically, where I am in life now can all be traced back to watching the Headmasters & Victory anime shows... Some of the main themes are very cool and a bit funky, but I think we can all agree that some of these are completely unnecessary.
Highlights: The Headmasters, You Are A Transformer, Transformer V, Theme of Transformer Z
6.5/10
The Transformers: The Movie (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - Various Artists
I refuse there to believe there could possibly be an album that is more 80s rock than this. Vince DiCola's score is pretty darn epic, too - his use of odd time signatures is very compelling.
Highlights: The Touch - Stan Bush, Dare - Stan Bush, The Transformers (Theme) - Lion, Nothin's Gonna Stand in Our Way - Spectre General
9/10
Trash We'd Love - the HIATUS
細美さん still sounds like his ELLEGARDEN days here, vocally. Lyrically it is worlds away! But this album is still the closest kind of bridge between the two bands, while sounding very different. It goes pretty hard. My man was clearly working through some stuff, but it made for more of a serious emo kind of thing. Wow I actually forgot how intense this album gets.
Highlights: 紺碧の夜に, Silver Birch, Storm Racers, Ghost in the Rain
8.5/10
The Traveling Wilburys Collection (Deluxe Edition) - The Traveling Wilburys
These are the bonus tracks from the big re-release. They are fine, but I just do not like having them tacked onto the end of otherwise perfect albums.
Highlights: Maxine, Like a Ship
6/10
The Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1 - The Traveling Wilburys
This albums is such a fine continuation of what George Harrison and Jeff Lynne were doing on Cloud 9. Just with added input from other experts in their field. I would make a comment about them all being old men, but I am the same age now as Harrison was at the time...
Highlights: End of the Line, Heading for the Light, Tweeter and the Monkey Man, Handle with Care
8.5/10
The Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 3 - The Traveling Wilburys
Less of a polished pop rock record and more of a roots/country rock record, in my opinion. But, given the players involved, it is right in their Q-Zone and they sound like they are having a lot of fun.
Highlights: Inside Out, Poor House, Wilbury Twist, Cool Dry Place
