Hydra, I'm pretty sure you're the only Cher fan here. At least this is before the age of autotune, whereas now her voice sounds robotic. It's a decent pop song in the same vein as Belinda Carlisle. 7/10
My first George Jones song. His name has been mentioned in a movie or two so I'm familiar with who he is. Good country song from the good ol' days. 7.5/10
I can't tell if this is from the past or a current cover of a hit from the past. While I think it's a good song, I didn't care for the production. It sounds like there's a whole lot of reverb or something on the vocals which IMO did the song no favors. 7.3/10
I feel like I've heard that keyboard riff before somewhere. For a song that came out in '79, it has more of an early 80s vibe to it. A harbinger of things to come. 7.5/10
I knew what this music was going to sound like just by looking at the the D & D inspired album cover. This type of metal sub genre is very operatic, which makes the whole hard rock/metal thing more appealing to me, when normally it wouldn't be. 7.3/10
I detect a hint of Goth in this hard rock song. It's a bit of a darker sound, isn't it? Maybe that's what allure for me is. 7.5/10
And speaking of goth...
The standard 12-bar blues structure from long ago makes each of these songs sound a bit too similar for my taste. Nevertheless, it's a good song. 7.5/10
How about some more contemporary blues...
I love doing this one in a Karaoke bar. A fun song to sing as you can really play with it vocally like he did in some of his live concerts. One of his best. 9/10
Listening to Tom Waits makes me want to adopt a drinking habit, hang out at dimly-lit bars with red leather upholstered chairs, and flirt with seedy women. 7.8/10
This guy has a voice that's perfectly suited to sing rock and roll ballads. And the melodic guitar work also helped shape this one into a nice little torch song. 7.7/10
I like the single from theirs you posted before which had some great political lyrics to it. In fact, I even recently added it to my playlist. This one though sounds like what it is...a B-side. Not bad, but not something that I'd want to hear again. 7/10
I like the more quiet sections of the piece with different percussion instruments where it tries to create an atmosphere vs the Idontknowwhatyoucallit jazz genre where the beat is faster and the sax is blaring away the entire time. 7.3/10
Pink Floyd classic. I can appreciate the Biblical imagery in the song. In my opinion, the song's lyrics are very cryptic. But maybe they raise the question of, "Is it worth it to cut ourselves off from the horrors of the world if that means cutting ourselves off from others?" 9/10
The perfect rock song. It could not have been sung or produced any better than it was. The guitar tone sounds amazing and Brad Delp's vocals hitting those high notes is just unreal. 10/10
