Alright I added them all to the list, i'll start with jackhammers albums because he was kind enough to provide me with download links.

And to the Dave, Codes In The Clouds were really sick.

I didn't care for it, it all seemed like a fairly generic rap album. Too many lyrics like "Stop kid, that hot shit you know where it come from / It's philly world-wide phenomenon" and whoever the producer of this album was, they really need to learn more about balance. Theres of errors i've noticed on this that are kind of distracting, for instance on Duck Down the drums completely drown out the horns.

I can definitely tell its Blurs guitarist, I thought it was just alright until it came up to Bittersweet Bundle Of Misery which I thought was a beautiful song, and my favorite on the album. The softer songs on the album like All Over Me are more my thing while the more rocky ones aren't, however its a solid album all in all. Its a keeper.

6.5/10

Thank's for listening Crowquill. It's not the best album ever made, but there is some interesting stuff going on. Love Travels At Illegal Speeds (his most recent) is supposed to be a marked improvement. I will have to check it out sometime.

I didn't really like this at all, it was repetitive electric guitar plucking with not too striking backing instruments and a good voice, but thats the only good thing to be honest. It would've been nicer if it was slightly more varied in pace or instrumentation, like Colors And The Kids is a decent song and so is Cross Bones Style. The end of Moonshiner when she broke out was was okay, but the part leading up to it sucked. I thought the lyrics could be the saving grace here so I read through the words and discovered they weren't. To me it just came across as its menstrual bitching about being sad placed over dull guitar parts.

Maybe the Greatest Will be better, its name implies it would be, and I hope she at least keeps her titles honest. I mean she called herself Cat Power, and her music has the power of a tiny little cat, which isn't much, but it's just enough to knock a vase over or keep you awake when you're trying to sleep.

Thats right I made a bad pun to finish my review.



The added instruments actually did wonders, however this album made me discover i'm not a fan of her voice or this blues jazz soul thing shes doing. This really isn't "The Greatest", and I have a feeling I could make another pun to finish that statement but I think one bad Cat Power pun is enough for today.
