One of the best hip hop albums on this list. The game show stuff was a really fun theme throughout. Great lyrics, samples, and beats. Plus Q-tip!

This album is why I do this project! What a find! Super solid early post-punk with strong vocals and killer riffs. I'm all about it.

Great album, the intro songs kicks strong. Solid instrumentals then wraps up crisp without overstaying it's welcome. War is a lot more than just low rider.

Honestly not bad. Knocked a star off because the album is wayyy too long, could easily have been cut in half without losing anything though. Every first 30sec or so feels like it could be the intro to a late 90s/early 2000s sitcom. Tough to decipher the lyrics but I'd listen again (to half) because I feel like their could be more nuance and depth to this than can be found on a single listen.

Talk about value! 3 full hours of Ella Fitzgerald through the highs and lows. I bet in the 50's this series of albums was sought after due to the spectrum of musical moods that the album touches and the wonderful performances Ella continues to put forth with delightful instrumental work. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
