Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

4/5

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

The Byrds

4/5

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.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

3/5

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

Aerosmith

3/5

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

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

Moon Safari

Air

2/5

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

The B-52's

3/5

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

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

4/5

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

Ali Farka Touré

2/5

Just not my thing

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

2/5

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

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

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

Solid Air

John Martyn

4/5

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

The Charlatans

3/5

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

Bad Brains

3/5

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.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Hard to give a genius like Neil Young anything lower than a 4.

Soul Mining

The The

3/5

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

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

Nothing particularly special
