La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

3/5

decent to run to. Probably better to dance to. Like the accordion. The songs with vocals were more enjoyable.

Dog Man Star

Suede

3/5

Rock opera feel. Kind of like dream theater but. less impressive instrumentals. Back side soulful, somewhat enjoyable

Funeral

Arcade Fire

5/5

Really enjoyed this when it came out. Wake Up is one of my favorite songs.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Easy listen. Full of great tracks, Jammin’, Three Little Birds, One Love, Exodus. The rest of the album supports those hits and is calming and enjoyable.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Fun big band music

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

2/5

Musical feel. Heavy, somber. Couldn’t get into it.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

Fun and poppy. The sound just feels like the 80s. Definitely enjoy the hits. Rest of the album carries fairly well.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

Sure shot and sabotage are jams. The album is eclectic, fun. Very listenable. Didn’t appreciate the whole album when it first came around.

The Doors

4/5

I have difficulty separating the album from the movie. Break on Through is a great, quick track. Songs like light my fire and The End are still good for a listen now and again.

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

Surprised by the year on this one. Had some sounds of Rush and Crosby stills and Nash in terms of instrumentals and vocals respectively. We definitely listen to it again.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

I’m mostly surprised I hadn’t heard this album is and how many Wu-Tang references I’ve been exposed to

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

4/5

Very familiar album. Wonderwall still feels overplayed though I haven’t heard it in years. All the tracks are solid. Very good album

Spiderland

Slint

3/5

This album influenced Pavement and the similarities are clear. Interestingly in the math rock genre. The band broke up before album became critically acclaimed. It’s moody, grungy - feels like Seattle scene music but they’re from Louisville. Good album.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

4/5

Hi Jojo! It's Shaun. How ya doin?

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

2/5

Meandering. This album reveals glimpses of a band that has better songs and albums. None of the tracks here were particularly inspired.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

4/5

Liked it. Didn’t get to listen too closely though, need to hear again

Kenya

Machito

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

4/5

Sounds like Courtney Barnett, or more she sounds like her.

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

I’m familiar with Elvis Costello, only recognized one song on the track. I appreciated the variety of instruments and genres throughout the album, but his voice is not my favorite.

Really enjoyed this one.
