G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up – 10/03/24

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection:

Bad Brains – I Against I – Rating: 3 / 5

When I read this is a punk band that began to touch on funk, soul, reggae, and heavy metal with this album, I got excited. Sadly it did not live up to that description. It was still mostly a punk album, and the touch felt more like they brushed against the other genres. It’s a good punk album, but disappointing for me when I expected more.

Junko Sakurada – 一枚の絵 – Rating: 4.25 / 5 – Vinyl/Packaging Rating: 4 / 5

Been looking to grab this album on vinyl for awhile just because I love the song “Miss Kiss”, and found it recently for about $15 in good condition. Besides “Miss Kiss” there were a couple other songs I definitely recognized while listening through. This is a really good showing for 80’s style of J-Pop, and I’m happy with my purchase. A lot of good mellow songs, along with a few more up beat pop bangers. The vinyl was in great condition, but it is the older outer sleeves, which definitely are solid, but to be expected are not as sturdy as newer releases. Came with the insert and Obi strip.

I was unable to find this particular album on an aggregate/streaming site.
