Paranoid
Black Sabbath
Pretty good, I remember listening to this about 10 years ago and it was definitely unlike anything I had heard before. Listening to it again in 2021, it still holds up but doesn't really sit well with me since I'm not a huge metal fan.

Oxygène
Jean-Michel Jarre
Reminds me very much of Vangelis' music. Had to listen to "Fields of Coral" by Vangelis in the middle of this.
I think since its release, there have been better version of synth instrumental albums that I've discovered before this so it's going to be an unremarkable album in my opinion.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
A Tribe Called Quest
I'm torn between giving this a 4 or a 5 because in terms of its influence on hip hop music, it's a huge milestone. In terms of comparing it in hindsight to their other albums, the Tribe was just getting started.
To review this album, it requires you do a circuit of 90s and early 2000s hip hop music before you attempt to appreciate just how well this album was produced and its lyrical content.
It's easy to get a club banger with a good producer, it's almost just as easy to find a rapper who can put out a dozen or so lyrically dense songs but it's rare to see an album with timely yet timeless classics composed of good production, great lyrics, and lasting influence.
It's easy to exempt those rating this below 4 stars are lacking in their ability to see the historical importance of a hip hop album when all you've been salivating over is heavily made up glam rock and stadium rock bands who have exhausted their audiences' eardrums to appreciate the subtle nuances of samples picked for the stereos of cheap cars.
