Power In Numbers
Jurassic 5
Classic J5 album that I had previously listened to. Going through a full run definitely gives me those early 2000 hip-hop vibes again. Charlie Tuna is representing once again with his unique flow. Solid beats throughout.

Talking Heads 77
Talking Heads
This was the first Talking Heads album I listened to from start to finish. I liked it. Good bass lines interesting lyrics. "No Compassion" layered song with interesting time signature. I didn't enjoy "Don't Worry About the Government". Actually, tail end of the album sort of loses it for me. Although Psycho Killer is good.

Fulfillingness' First Finale
Stevie Wonder
Hmm. Stevie Wonder. I get the appeal but overall, just not my cup of tea. Gave this a listen and pleasant but not something I'd put on randomly. Drumming is on point.

Here Are the Sonics
The Sonics
As soon as the album started, I got the grunge/punk vibe. Hard stripped-down sound. Not sure this would be my style overall, but interesting to see how it influenced later genres/bands.

...Baby One More Time
Britney Spears
I really tried to approach this one with an open mind, but after a listen it's just not for me. It definitely does capture the late 90's pop music to a T.

Brings back a lot of memories. Walking to work with this on my original iPod. I like this album, although When Sept. Ends has been played to death. I'd be fine never hearing that song again.
Overall, I really like this album.

Popping album. Not terrible, but something I probably wouldn't normally listen to. Their music sounds like a mash of a lot of different sounds, but none of them done really really well. 3 stars.

Ananda Shankar
Ananda Shankar
I get it, but also not sure this works for me. The sitar is just so unique that pairing it with songs like "Light My Fire" just sounds...not great. I appreciate the effort here, but I would have preferred Shankar to take his own spin at it vs, just intro'n the sitar to make it "different". 2 stars

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols
Sex Pistols
I was expecting to not like this album at all. Now there are definitely songs on here that are overplayed (Anarchy, God Save the Queen). I was surprised by the production quality as well as the instrumentation. I was expecting lo-fi sounds. Johnny's voice can get old, I didn't mind this one. 3 stars.

If I had to compare this to Tommy, I'd go with this album. Not a fan of rock operas overall, but this is much more listenable to me. Perhaps it's due to bias against the Who and their sound, but overall this album is better. 4 stars.

The Boatman's Call

I settled in to listen to this album, expecting something different. As someone who's not usually into slow balladry alternative rock, I found it slow-paced and lyrically important, which is commendable. However, it didn't quite hit the mark for me on a Thursday evening. Maybe it's just not the right vibe for a midweek listen
