Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

5/5

This album is incredible. Thelonious is a genius and it’s on full display here. This is the type of album others strive to make. Every track is perfect. But special shoutouts to the opening track (brilliant corners) and the closing track (bemsha swing). This album fits every mood and every emotion. Top tracks Brilliant corners Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues-Are Pannonica I surrender, dear Bemsha Swing

Machito

5/5

This album is perfect. It’s a real masterpiece. A must listen. Horns, perfection. Drums, perfection. Drama - mood - life. It makes me want to think but it also makes me want to get up and get out. Wild Jungle is the perfect opening song - what an amazing track to start your album with. Run it up the guts Machito. Top tracks: Kenya Frenzy Blues in la Machito Conversation Tin tin deo

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Beautiful album. It’s like a love-child of funk and country but raised by classical. It’s soft and gentle but also thoughtful. Stevie Wonder has a perfect voice and he also has poignant lyrics. This album delivers pretty heavy stuff like love and heartbreak and rebirth and belief and faith but it’s done so lite and breezy. Stevie Wonder is a genius. Top tracks You are the sunshine of my life Big brother You and I Tuesday Heartbreak Iconic track Superstition

This was a good album - slightly above average but not great. Top tracks: You’re gonna need someone on your side Certain people I know I know it’s gonna happen someday

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

This truly is a great album. Every song goes hard. Variety of rock genres and Jack Whites voice is fire. Top tracks Hardest button to button - Hypnotize - There’s no home for you here - Black Math Iconic Track Status - Seven Nation Army

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

3/5

This is a very good album. It’s eclectic from track to track. Some tracks rock and are full of electricity and some are smooth with a tropic blend. But the one thing that was consistent was that all the tracks slapped - it’s a banger for anytime. Top tracks O Filosofo Meus Filhos, Meu Tesouro Taj Mahal Cavaleiro do Cavalo Imaculado

American Idiot

Green Day

2/5

This is not my favorite. Top tracks Holiday Wake me up when September ends

Brilliant Corners

5/5

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

This is a good album. It was a very lonely album though. It felt as though it was written in space or by someone that had just returned from space. Hug your friends. Top tracks School Dreamer If everyone was listening

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

This is a good album. It really mixes genres too - rock and like old timey sounding music - sometimes even treads on country. Freddie Mercury is outstanding. Greatest rock voice ever as well as the greatest band lead ever. Top tracks Death on two legs You’re my best friend 39 Iconic track Bohemian Rhapsody

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

1/5

This was not something I would listen to again.

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

4/5

This album is so good. It’s like fire or electricity. Every track is like a straight defibrillator to my brain. Top tracks Obsessed with you Plastic bag Oh bondage up yours
