To date, really none have. But it's still interesting to do. You feel like your're finally giving the albums a proper chance.
Great review of "Rumours", which is, of course, one of the greatest albums ever of the period. The vocal talents of Stevie, Chrissie and Lindsey just blow you away and the album is, as you say, a mix of ballads and uptempo rockers with quite a bit of the old bluesy Fleetwood Mac in there too. And then there's the picture of a young sexy innocent looking Stevie on the back. Whooarrr!
I love the fact that you've gone total 180 on this album, and I bet your dad is happy you finally get it. Interested to see how the next reviews turn out.
Oh, and welcome to Journal Land! You're in for Sunday's update, fo' sho', as they say!   |
Thanks for the kind words! I'm actually home from college and I immediately told my dad about my new opinion of
Rumours. Needless to say, he was glad to hear it
It feels good to be a part of Journal Land now! :P Can't wait to keep posting more updates. I think instances like with
Rumours where I do a complete 180 with my opinion will be fairly rare, but I think doing this is still very worthwhile.

I'm sure any kind of music deserves a journal, especially if there isn't one already about it!

I guess the kind of music I listen to is pretty similar to everyone else on this forum, except for the fact that I'm really not a fan of Progressive Rock. I can stomach Floyd and Jethro Tull's
Aqualung is one of my favorites, but I just don't enjoy bands like Rush or Genesis. My favorite artists are The National and Elliott Smith, so I guess slow, soothing, moody indie rock type stuff are what I enjoy the most.
