Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Excellent album. Great showcase of Wonder’s broad and confident musical abilities on numerous instruments. Each song provides not only a unique feel but an insight to the artist’s life.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Joni has excellent vocal tone, range, and control. Strong band called accompaniment. Sounds fitting from the generation. Wouldn’t be soon sought out again, but a strong album in its own right.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

Songs were shorter than what I am used to from this style of music, but each song has a unique feel. Decent listen, but I will be adding a handful to my jazz and blues playlists.

London Calling

The Clash

2/5

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

Strong start to the album with some of the more recognizable songs, followed up with a surprisingly more orchestral, slow, and melodious ending.

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

3/5

Exceeded my initially low expectations and poor impression to provide a solid soft and easy listening album. Probably not one I seek out consistently, but would be perfect to have on in the background to end an evening or enjoy a vice or two.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

2/5

Not really for me.

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

3/5

Sounded like a weirder version of Bowie in a good way

Black Monk Time

The Monks

2/5

In short, sounded like a less musically talented version of the Doors. Started with a war time political message followed by okay music.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

Honestly, I’m surprised this album wasn’t more on my radar. Feels like it should be firmly in the classic rock rotation.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Sounds like home. Short and solid album with heavy hitters in Born on the Bayou and Proud Mary and solid jams throughout.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

3/5

Solid, competent album. Showed that Oasis had more range than I was expecting.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

Incredibly naturally yet experimental sounds from this wonderful jazz album.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

3/5

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Another great album highlighted by “You are the Sunshine of My Life” and “Superstition,” but features many of Wonder’s strong, but softer songs.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

Might be some of my favorite Thelonious Monk works I’ve heard. Strong mix of emotions and styles in a tight album. Features other musicians and stays true to the man at the center of the album.

Kimono My House

Sparks

2/5

Stuck between a 2 and 3 on this one (to avoid giving every album the same score). Decent amount to like, fun sections at times, but just not enough to move the needle for me.

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

3/5

Some high highs mixed with lower points, this was decent sample of the Flaming Lips different sounds and song offering, but probably not their strongest album front to back.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

3/5

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

3/5

I’ll start by saying it’d probably be a 2.5 if I could give partial scores, but it’s a decent funk album that’s easy to listen to. Didn’t move the needle much, but hard not to enjoy.

Trio

Dolly Parton

3/5

Strong album. Worth a 3.5, but not a 4. Highlighted by a couple strong singles, but there is not a low point in the album filled with competent country songs.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

5/5

Incredible album I’ve listened to for years. Lives up to the reputation after all this time. High points are incredibly high. Outside of interludes, hard to find a song I wouldn’t describe as at least good to great (albeit sometimes weird).
