The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

Like the sample based songs (chipmunk style). Didn’t like synth based songs.

The Coral

2/5

Not great retro-rock. Prefer much more Tame Impala and Motorpsycho.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

Nice mix of instrumental jazz tracks and pop songs. Not a big fan of brass in general, but good stuff.
