Ghostface Killah
I've not listened to Wu-Tang / Ghostface Killah before, and I'm surprised at how much this album reminds me, in structure, to Tenacious D -- I know it's really probably influenced the other way, but the skits and the over-the-top lewdness. Kinda fascinating. Highlights: "Kilo", "Whip You With a Strap" and "Back Like That"

Thriller
Michael Jackson
Bringing back the MEMORIES.
I didn't know that Paul McCartney sang with him on one song here. I only remember "Wanna Be Starting Something", "Thriller", "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" -- all the other songs did not jog ANY memories, but those were SERIOUS throw backs.
All in all, I don't think this is something amazing, though. 5-6 good songs, 3 of them GREAT, but the filler is pretty terrible.

Odessey And Oracle
The Zombies
First song sounds like it could be a demo of a 2010s band.
These songs sound pretty 60s. I see influence on Queen, and influences from the Beatles.
This was *surprisingly* good.
Also, doesn't sound like what I would imagine a band called "The Zombies" would ever sound like.
