I start trying to find fault with it because I want to understand what everyone has been saying, but I honestly still have trouble coming up with a good reason not to like it. :|

Yea, I'm the same for the most part except my thoughts are more like "how can someone NOT like this??" Early on, I let it get to my head that the songs were bad but I just liked them regardless, but I think that they are mostly really good songs in terms of composition, I just think that some of the accompaniments are too much, too chaotic. Some of the songs are extremely whistle-able to me and have distinct melodies. They're just not up to par with Ringo. She's more of a birdie or eagle.

That's so funny! I have Ringo's music but I haven't really had time to listen to it and I don't have much motivation other than that he was a Beat-all, so how is it? I've heard George's and didn't like it at all (can't believe he wrote I Me Mine ), Paul sounds OK although I'm not to familiar with it. Lennon's in the only one that I truly love but I still prefer the band's material.

I love Lennon's solo stuff too, but I definitely think you should give Harrison another chance. His 'All Things Must Pass' album is one of the best solo Beatles albums.

Kahimi Karie - Le cheval blanc

NUNKI is definitely a great album <3.

^ I was just going to recommend "All Things Must Pass" also. It is probably the best of all the post-break up albums, by all four, ever produced. But I will admit, much of George's music can be an acquired taste, but it does have a way of seeping in. As far as Ringo Starr's music, there are many good songs, but there are quite a few terrible ones too. If you want to give him a shot, start with his best, the 1973 album "Ringo".

CLT: Beauty C - Cocco
(Man I have a lot of songs that start with the words "Beautiful" and "Beauty".)

Btw, I also did that "let's-listen-to-Variety-after-almost-a-year" experiment and actually enjoyed it. Not in a SS kind of way, but in a way that it's cool music to have in the background. It sorta blends with it... Wait, wait, it doesn't really blend with the background (Variety jokes, stay in your room! you're grounded!). What I'm trying to say is that yeah, I kind experienced more or less what kuro_neko was talking about.

HOWEVVA. Making an album like Variety is, in my point of view, not that much of an hard task, especially for someone who already did huge things like SS. So, what I was joking about, was saying that I "Hope TJ releases another album as good as Variety", because it's really hard to do it so let's all hope they can manage to do it again. Cross your fingers guise.

CLT - Not right now, but I've been listening to SS all day. I think I heard it at least 3 or 4 times. And then 1 KZK and 1 MM. Train + Metro + Walking + Metro + Train really needs some music.

Haha, Beauty C is the best track in "Zansaian" for sure.

All Things Must Pass is one of the best solo Beatles album, and FWIW I find George to be the most "Beatle-y" of the solo Beatles.

The Killers - Everything Will Be Alright

Day & Age has happened to be their worst album, IMO... I love its three first tracks especially, tho.

CLT:
Nobuo Uematsu - To Zanarkand

Yea, I was thinking that I should give George another shot as well. I just got a really bad vibe from it the first time I heard his music, I kind of just shut it out right away and skipped through most of it. I did not hear that album, though, I only heard brainwashed, though, and was creeped out by the cover, too. Is it really different from the other albums?

I agree. When Shiina gets to writing music, I don't think she should have any problem topping Uki and Izawa. Although, having attempted writing some songs recently, I don't think it's that easy for the rest of us . I do hope, however, that the new album features equally distributed song distribution. Something like 7-9 from Ringo and 1-4 from the rest of the guys. Just to add a little variety.

Currently Listening to:

Franz Ferdinand - Tonight: Franz Ferdinand (album)

Amazon treats me really well. I pre-ordered this album, which was released today, and chose the cheapest shipping and yet they shipped Sunday and it was here when I got home. Jackpot =). I'm really digging it deep so far.
