Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

3/5

Was fun to drive and clean to this album. Felt like my own little soundtrack! I do prefer vocals vs totally instrumental, but it was a nice listen!

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

2/5

Only listened to about half. Not really my thing. Cool album cover tho.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

5/5

This album was a banger. Some familiar, some new. But you can't go wrong with Little Richard.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

3.5 - definitely a solid album! Needs a bit more of a deep dive, but I enjoyed it. 28 songs is too long tho!

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

I am familiar with this album, and four songs on it so it was great to get a listen of it all. Excellent album, all songs are good, most are great. 4.5

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

1/5

This was a musical dumpster fire. There was one semi ok song in all this nonsense. It's turned me off from exploring their vast catalouge. Great dumb band name tho.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

Solid old school country vibe. Started strong but ended up feeling more like a nice background music. 3 stars.

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

So this one was divisive for me. I'd say half I enjoyed, some were meh and I quite disliked a couple. 2.5

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

5/5

I'm already a fan but had never heard this whole thing. Love them.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

Maybe one or two songs didn t click, but some of my favorite Dylan is on this album. 4.5

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

I actually liked this for the most part - I have some Zappa on my Playlists, but the last couple songs were the Zappa I was worried this album would be.

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

2/5

What a snoozefest. Didn't resonate with this at all, but it wasn't absolutely offensive either.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

3/5

I'm sad to say this was the first one I didn't finish, not because I didn't enjoy it, but life was just busy this day!

Moon Safari

Air

2/5

I almost finished this, and while I didn't dislike it, I didn't like it much either 2 stars

Suzanne Vega

4/5

This was great. Knight moves, Marlene on the Wall, and the Queen and the soldier were standouts for me. Would relisten for sure.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

2/5

There were a couple of moments, but overall I wasn't in the mood for this, and left 8 songs or so unlistened to. 2.5

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

2/5

I felt like I wanted to like this, but it was a bit blah for me. Not offensive, and a couple songs kinda stuck out to me. But overall it was dull for me today. 2

Black Sabbath

4/5

This was a very pleasant surprise. I know thr hits but have never listened to them otherwise. It made me feel like I could actually be a fan of their stuff. Great guitar too.

Paul Simon

5/5

Love him.

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

3/5

This one was interesting. I ended up quite liking and saving a handful of songs from it, but then there were quite a few that did nothing for me, and several I disliked as well. 2.75

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

2/5

Boring, but not offensive. Just didn't care about it at all.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

2/5

Nope. Not for me.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

3/5

There's definitely some gems in here, and he has a beautiful voice and lots if talent. There were plenty of songs that just didn't grab me tho. Overall I liked it, felt long, wouldn't run to listen to the whole album. But added a few to my dance mix!

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

2/5

Given the songs I know by James Brown, I didn't expect to be this bored. Especially the 11 minute one. Yowza. I also don't usually get anything out of a live album unless i'm a huge fan.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

3/5

I enjoyed this, tho it all started to blend after awhile. Was nice to hear some hip hop without all the derogatory words! Felt positive!

Femi Kuti

2/5

Even tho I thought it sounded good, there were way too much instrumentals, the songs were way too long and it all ended up blending together. I liked the vibe but a whole album is a no.

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

2.75 -- i love his voice and hear clearly the grief. I was moved to tears at a couple points. It was however too slow for my listening tastes so I couldnt imagine reaching for the album to listen to as a whole agian. Saving a song tho.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

Was already very familiar with this one. It's beautiful and sad. And his covers of hurt, personal Jesus, and desperado are better than the originals. Amazing voice.

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

I do enjoy Abba and it's very catchy. I didn't discover much that was better than the hits though. It was a fun listen tho! 3.5

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

3.5 -- enjoyed this album! No song compares to the weight though.
