Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

3/5

I thought some songs were fun but as a collective, I wasn't super impressed. It's cool how there were parts of it that strayed from the more country rock stuff into more RnB.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

5/5

Trying to forget what Kanye has been up to lately, this album is a perfect hip hop album. It feels almost like progressive hip-hop, or like a rock album with rappers on it. The deliberate production choices all added to it, like the decision to slightly saturate the whole thing.

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

4/5

This albums was a pleasant surprise. Lots of catchy songs with grand orchestras behind it. The last song on the album ‘I’m All You Need’ was one of my favorite songs I’ve heard in awhile.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

4/5

Very pretty album. I love the orchestral arrangements. I feel like the production added a lot.

The Grand Tour

George Jones

4/5

I thought it was really good. The instrumentation was beautiful. The songs are well written. I gave it a second listen after. The short length plays to its advantage.

Tommy

The Who

3/5

I’d probably rate it higher if I gave it more time. I like a lot of what it is trying to do, but there isn’t a CRAZY amount that stood out to me aside from the hits. I did like Christmas though.

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Rawk and Roll! I have nostalgic memories of me and my buddies jamming on "How Many More Times?" It is not a five because it isn't my favorite Led Zeppelin record, but it is up there!

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

I thought this album was a lot of fun. Great guitars. Janis is a great singer. Nothing is particular stood out to me, but I had a good time listening to it. Maybe if anything, I liked My Baby. I also thought Mercedes Benz was a fun track to throw in. 3.5/5

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

3/5

Fun glam punk! There were some songs on here that I really thought were fun and catchy. I really liked the opening track in particular, ‘The Age of Pamparius’. 3.5/5

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

3/5

Good! I thought it was a bit front-loaded, but the energy was consistent throughout.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

3/5

The vocal production felt weird to me at first, but once I got used to it, this was a pretty good listen. I especially liked the song ‘Black Boys on Mopeds’. Super powerful and a really good performance. However, there just wasn’t enough else that stuck out to me.

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

Love David Bowie. This was a cool album but not one of my favorites. It’s always fun to listen to Bowie get more creative and aim less for radio hits, but you definitely lose a little bit of memorability in the process.
