I didn’t realize how much this album had been in my life. I mean obviously Tom Sawyer kicks ass and is the go to Rush song for most people. There are so many other stars on this album though; YYZ, Limelight, and everything else. I love Rush’s obsession with clean and tight lyrics too. Every part of this album has meaning and creates a total vibe. “Neil Peart stands alone.”

Not really for me. I can get how people enjoy it, but seriously it gets far too preachy on Meat is Murder. It’s a fair point but executed pretty brutally, just like the animals are I suppose.

Goodbye And Hello
Tim Buckley
Very noisy, almost experimental. It’s definitely “good” objectively. But subjectively I find it too nebulous and lacking in substantial statement. It’s heavily veiled in metaphor like Dylan, but not as profound in my mind. You can definitely feel the sadness in his voice and the real ness of what he’s saying. Rose: the B-Side. Thorn: the A-Side.

Home Is Where The Music Is
Hugh Masekela
An interesting album with some less experimental jazz that was largely enjoyable.

Beggars Banquet
The Rolling Stones
A good album, full of violent fun sound. Not the best Stones album, not by far. But I had fun listening to it.

This Year's Model
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
For some reason Elvis Costello’s sound makes me think of Christmas. This album doesn’t have the edge the Welcome to the Working Week did, and I don’t find it as enjoyable. Still it was a pleasant listen and if I were to hear it again I wouldn’t complain.

I just find John Lennon so pretentious on his own. It’s so hard to enjoy his solo work, because he just seems like such a prick.

I mean I get it, but I think I’m finally on the side of “The Beatles are overrated.” They absolutely made insane steps that changed the music industry forever, but you know I just don’t like them that much.

Honestly a pretty good album, but it bleeds together after a while. I enjoyed it, but didn’t find it to be a true masterpiece.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim
Frank Sinatra
I thought I would enjoy this more than I did. I love Sinatra most of the time, but this was almost too mellow for me. It didn’t show off the power of his voice.

This album really kicks ass. It has a violent and heroic feel, with hints of despair and loss. Totally blew me away.

This is a great album with a really nice ambient sound. I could see this going on in the background of a chill hangout, or at a busy bar on a Wednesday. Definitely will listen again.

The Message
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
What a strange and delightful album. I enjoyed parts of it but found that most of it was not for me. Though I’m sure Flash and the Five would say it’s for everyone. I liked it in a way, but won’t mind if I don’t hear it again.

This was fantastic. Her vocals are amazing and the background is beautiful. I didn’t like the track with the guy laughing as he sang, but I’m sure that’s just personal taste.

I really enjoyed the subtle tones of this album. It feels a lot like relaxing metal with punk influences. I would totally listen to this more.

This is good, but it’s really just that. It feels soulful, but not deeply unique. I’m not sure I can describe where it’s lacking, only that it is.

The Boatman's Call
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I’m happy I gave this album a chance. I had a deep dislike of Ghosteen and Nik Cave’s sound in that album, but I find that all that album lacks is more than present here. The Boatman’s call is a fantastic album and I really loved listening to it.

This is a four star album. It has amazing breakouts, fantastic b tracks and has an astounding energy that I love. It gets five stars because of the history I share with it.

I can understand that this maybe influenced the moody indie scene of the early 2000’s, but it is definitely outpaced by its descendants.
