Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney

Cool album. The popier stuff reminded me of FKA Twigs and early Massive Attack -- which is a very high compliment. A very ecclectic album with all sorts of influences that I will return to.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds

Above average summer of love fare. Definitely influenced by superior mid 60s psychedelia like Revolver and Pet Sounds. Some cool songs though. "Renaissance Fair", "Mind Gardens," and "My Back Pages" are the stand outs. You can definitely hear some early Crosby, Stills, and Nash in some of the songs, which makes sense given that David Crosby was the Byrds' lead guitarist.

definitely some good tracks. The kind of album (like most albums) I think I would need to listen to more than once. Definitely could see myself liking it a lot after a bunch of listens.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Sep 22 2020

Never been a huge Aerosmith fan. Some decent tracks, a lot of bluesy stuff, but just not totally up my alley.

Moon Safari by Air
Sep 25 2020

Just didn't do it for me. I had somewhat high expectations and was kind of underwhelmed. The whole album was just meh.

B-52's by The B-52's
Sep 28 2020

Definitely a fun, unique group. Some very memorable songs but didn't hold my attention all the way through.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Sep 29 2020

A lot of unique textures and sounds. The good songs are really good. I definitely could see myself liking this album a lot upon further listens.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Sep 30 2020

Just not my thing

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Oct 01 2020

Just didn't do it for me. I found the music (and lyrics) kind of corny. It's the kind of music you'd hear in a trailer for a big budget action film

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Oct 02 2020

Held my attention. Not something I would really listen to again. Sort of toed the line between pretentious and interesting. 3.5

Solid Air by John Martyn
Oct 05 2020

Not half bad! A precursor to soft folk rock singer songwriters like Jack Johnson and Citizen Cope. Something I could see myself coming back to.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Oct 06 2020

Tempted to give 4 stars, but I think I have to deduct at least half a star because this band is a fairly blatant copycat of Oasis. The music isn't awful though.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Oct 07 2020

Definitely a cool sound and something I could see myself returning to. It was a little repetitive, so i'm gonna give it 3.5 with the caveat that my score could very well increase upon future listens.

Soul Mining by The The
Oct 09 2020

I had heard of this band because of their association with Johnny Marr. Didn't think this album was anything particularly special.

Bad Company by Bad Company

The song Bad Company on the album Bad Company by the band Bad Company from the movie Bad Company

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Oct 15 2020

3.5 for now but once I really have a chance to examine the lyrics that could change

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Oct 16 2020

I have a feeling i'd like this album a lot if I got a few more listens. For now it's a 3.5

Calenture by The Triffids
Oct 21 2020

not good

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Oct 22 2020

Not bad. Held my attention. Can only give it 3.5 because it's not something I really see myself going back to.

Oct 23 2020

Not bad new wave fare. 3.5 because I'm not sure it has high relistenability for me

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Oct 26 2020

I didn't find it very interesting

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Nov 30 2020
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 05 2021

An all-time classic.
