Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

5/5

Screams soul from the get go. Side one has some great full arrangements. Second side closes out in the best song/story telling I've heard in a while. Great produced album.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

Odd collection of songs that sound more like an opening act to a vaudeville act than a 70s rock band.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

5/5

Screams soul from the get go. Side one has some great full arrangements. Second side closes out in the best song/story telling I've heard in a while. Great produced album.

Violent Femmes

5/5

Very punchy guitar and bass. Simple arrangement that works so well with the songs. Harmony is very nice. Nasally vocals could be off putting to some. There is a reason why most of the songs on this album are still on the radio almost 40 years later. Good use of stereo mix/recording, especially during Gone Daddy Gone.

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

5/5

Great shoe gaze album. A great full sound and great guitar.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Piano sound on "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" gives it great energy. Very nice overall flow of the album. Always has the Bruce's way of saying words that are clear and somehow mush at the same time. Backstreets closes out side one perfectly.

Paul Simon

4/5

Opening with Caribbean sound is a nice touch. Goes into a more folk sound for other songs. Albums ends with more blues numbers. It's like Paul is flexing his musical muscles and trying out more than what he has done over the last 10 years.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

3/5

A very interesting psychedelic album.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

4/5

Very powerfully vocals. Good energy thought out the album. Reason why over 20 years later this album still gets talked about. Very nice production.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Very rock punk vibe at the start and leads into a very slow beautiful sound. The slower songs are still a great listen even after almost 20 years.

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

4/5

Very nice blues album. Good quality songs.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

3/5

Very nice starting. Has the same sadness that his work with the Smiths had. Albums has some gems that have lasted the test of time like "The more that you ignore me, the closer I get". Which thinking about is kind of a creepy song.

Blur

5/5

Some of the best britpop. Love the organ on Theme from Retro.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Very nice big soul album. Each song is exciting and very well produced.

NEU! 75

Neu!

4/5

Somewhat relaxing ambient first side that mixes electronic sounds with sounds of nature in some songs. Side two starts with a more rock type sound with drum/guitar sounds. Almost a more punk sounds with 'Hero'.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

The Specials

4/5

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Very nice EDM album. Peak late nights electronic.
