The rest of the review is full of more navel gazing, with almost no review of the actual music, except that he doesn't like it.oneRYMmember said:
N.E.R.D. - Seeing Sounds (2008)
I assume the album title stems from the fact that Pharrell has the condition synesthesia. I was surprised to see so many other musical talents also have it, including Billy Joel and Lady Gaga.

That sounds like a standard RYM review.Kool & the Gang - Celebrate! (1980)

Dave Douglas & Keystone - Moonshine (2007)
"Keystone" is Dave's Fender Rhodes quintet, with a DJ/turntablist added for alternative sounds and post-production effects. It's good, but it doesn't sound as different as that might imply. 95% of this could be played alongside a playlist of Jazz songs from the past 50 years and fit right in.

I can't remember the last time I listened to this mix of Rock, Funk, and NOLA styles. I can't think of an apt comparison off the top of my head, by AMG lists "similar to" and "influenced by" artists like The Kinks, Rebirth Brass Band, Tom Waits, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis - Songs From The Motion Picture "Pardners" (Capitol EP 1956)
Vinyl Rip Of The Day.
For their antepenultimate effort, Dino & Ol' Jer went out west. Wiki saves us the effort of watching:
Masked raiders led by Sam Hollis attack the "K" Ranch, where owner Wade Kingsley and partner Slim Mosley bravely defend their property after Matilda Kingsley and infant son Wade Jr. safely return east to New York, her hometown. Wade and Slim (played by Martin and Lewis) are murdered, but vow before they die that their sons someday will avenge them.
Many years later, the wealthy Matilda receives a visit from her niece Carol and cowboy Slim Mosley, Jr. (Dean Martin again), who has come to New York City to compete in a rodeo. They intend to use Slim's earnings to buy a prized bull called Cuddles and take him back west to replenish the K Ranch's stock.
Sweet but inept Wade, Jr. (Jerry Lewis again) has always wanted to be a cowboy. He goes to the rodeo, where his bungling interference costs Slim first prize. To make amends, Wade buys the bull for Slim and accompanies them back west by train.
After a while, Slim warms up to Wade and agrees to become partners, like their dads. Out west, to keep townsfolk from mocking the tenderfoot, Slim decides to introduce Wade to one and all as "Killer Jones," a tough hombre. Due to his heroic actions in stopping a runaway stagecoach, with Slim performing the actual heroics, Wade ends up being elected sheriff, impressing dance hall girl Dolly Riley.
Ranch hand Pete Rio is secretly working with banker Dan Hollis, who is every bit as corrupt as his father was. Dan's got his eyes on the K Ranch so he can sell the land to the government, which wants to build a dam. Dan tries proposing marriage to Carol, but she rejects him, so he announces that the bank will begin foreclosure proceedings against the ranch.
In disguise, Wade infiltrates the gang of masked raiders. He is caught and bound to a chair, strapped to sticks of dynamite, and when Slim comes to his rescue, Dan Hollis knocks him cold. All seems lost until the boys manage a last-second escape. Dan is dealt with accordingly, after which the pardners and their romantic partners celebrate their success.
Not the finest hour for songwriting team of Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, with the boys sharing only one of the four songs.

Einstürzende Neubauten - Alles in Allem (2020)
It's got a good beat and I can bug out to it.
Seriously, the flow on this is tremendous.
I've listened to this several more times. "Ten Grand Goldie" is the most complex and subtle song I've ever had an earworm for.

Patty Duke - Sings Songs From "Valley Of The Dolls" and Other Selections (1967)
Bye bye teeny bopper, hello soft porn sexplotation. Patty was in the film along with a lot of other luminaries of the past, present and future:
At first, all went well.
Garland filmed some costume tests for the role and successfully prerecorded the song “I’ll Plant My Own Tree”. However, after a week’s shooting, she was unable to function and was heavily dependent not only on alcohol but also Demerol. Jacqueline Susann, who was cast in a bit part in the film and was sharing Garland’s dressing room at the time, found the drug on the floor in her closet. As a result, with no footage deemed usable, Garland was fired by Fox. She begged them to give her another chance, but the studio refused.
