…yeah, that’s what I thought. Coinciding with my trip to the far east, are a bunch of new album releases, so I thought I’d try them all during my long trip (18h) on the airplane.
\nOh what a disappoint this weekend was (I decided not to try them out later, but do a quick pre-scan of the songs).<\/p>\n
Most horrible:<\/strong><\/p>\n Usher – Here I Stand: Of the 17 songs, the 2 worthy ones I already had before the album release ! It’s much of the same R&B you’d expect.<\/p>\n Alanis Morissette – Flavors Of Entanglement: Previously doing a promo tour, visiting talk shows, she would do a nice acoustic version of Underneath. Imagine my surprise with this techno-beat heavy album. It’s worse than combining all the worst songs from Under Rug Swept and So-Called Chaos. Even the bonus CD doesn’t add anything to it.<\/p>\n Amee Mann – @#%&*! Smilers: Booooooring.<\/p>\n Jakob Dylan – Seeing Things: OMGMBS (Oh my god, more boring stuff).<\/p>\n Weezer – Weezer (Red Album): Still with the high school prank lyrics, but now without the ability to churn out a solid song (like previously A Perfect Situation), you don’t even care if the lyrics are funny or not.<\/p>\n Mediocre:<\/strong><\/p>\n Jewel – Perfectly Clear: Going hardcore country again, previous albums mixed a poppy style to it. This one is hence less easy listening but some songs seem to be up to standard.<\/p>\n Ultra-listenable:<\/strong><\/p>\n Leona Lewis – Spirit: An older album, but seems to be the summer hit album. Totally okay-ish pop. Save for a few slower boring ones, this looks like it’s going to be the album of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …yeah, that’s what I thought.
