Crime of the Century [A&M, 1974]

The claim that this is the rock-and-roll of the future depresses me in spite of the amalgamation being a (moderately) smart one. Admittedly, "Bloody Well Right" does display a gift for the killer hook. Now if only the song weren't an impassioned plea for complacency. Maybe if we close our eyes and ignore them, they'll go away. C+

Even in the Quietest Moments... [A&M, 1977]

Most progressive rock is modest background schlock that sounds good when played in the background. This is modest background schlock that sounds good when slipped in the ear. I guess we should thank Babaji, whichever one he is. B-

Breakfast in America [A&M, 1979]

I enjoy a hooky album as much as the next guy, so when this one elicited vague grunts of pleasure, I looked forward to listening in detail. But the lyrics turned out to be glib variations on the usual "Star Romances" trash, and in the absence of a vocal personality (as opposed to accurate singing) or rhythmic thrust (as opposed to a beat), I'll wait for this material to be covered by artists of substance, say Tavaris or the Doobie Brothers. C+

Everything Rocks and Nothing Ever Dies [1990s]

>tfw you wanted to be a fiction writer, but had no imagination to come up with anything interesting, so you dedicated your life to shitting on other, more creative people

I enjoy reading album reviews as much as the next guy, so when this album elicited vague grunts of pleasure, I looked forward to reading Christgau's review of it in detail. But the review turned out to be glib variations on the usual "Insult the artist for being too masculine or having a message I don't like" trash, and in the absence of a detailed critique (as opposed to giving the album a bomb or scissors), or offering any context (as opposed to using big words to cover up the lack of content), I'll wait for this album to be reviewed by critics of substance, say AllMusic or Piero Scaruffi.

Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
It's always up to you if you want to be that
want to see that
want to see that way
- you're coming along!

You were BTFO

For me lads, Crime of the Century is the best album of the 70s.
