The Apple track you highlighted, The Outsider, has a wonderful, biting guitar running through it, as do other tracks, like Buffalo Billycan. And I'm glad you mentioned Rock Me Baby, my favourite so far. As the vocalist says, "Nice!"

I was listening to some Flying Burrito Brothers last weekend, so I was curious about Twin Engine, but a little disappointed by The Time Is Now, mainly on account of the vocals. Too much Everly Brothers and not enough Sneaky Pete imo. As for the Flying BBs themselves, I really like Hot Burrito#2, but can live without most of their material, tbh.

Anyway, I'm going to move on to some of the other intriguing-looking albums that you've covered here, so I hope you keep this journal going Neapolitan. Your reviews are concise, but very useful, especially your specific track picks.
Keep up the good work, and thanks.

Thanks for the encouragement. I still kinda started and I am not sure what direction it will go. I originally plan to include more popular bands. I just have a bad habit of putting bands I know and like on the back burner, and then I never get around to talking about them. It would probably be better to explain what I already know, and then slip in the more obscure stuff. But I am having fun exploring and discovering things I haven't heard before.

I glad you like Apple, I still have a couple of Psychedelia albums I plan to write about. I like the harmonies The Time Is Now maybe cause they sound like the Everly Brothers. I like all things Rock from the early day on.

I guess what I am going for is the "intriguing-looking albums" look. I want the thread to be sorta like a used record bin the kind at a brick and mortr record store. Where you can thumb through the album covers however here if you see something interesting just click on the album cover and give a listen.
