The album looks like your car broke, you are lost, and the only people that can help you live in this weird mansion close to you but away from anything else. These weird guys invite you in and some kind of private party is going on inside. Everyone looks at you, checking you out as you are taken to a hot cup of tea and a landline. Next thing you know you are all sweety, smelling like smoke and cuddling with a taxidermized animal that looks oddly familiar.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
A Tribe Called Quest
Based on this album's technical and artistic achievements, it is hard to imagine that it is a debut album. But that can be explained by the experience and talent of the artists that put it together. The album is a mosaic, not a melting pot, of musical styles that come together to form a colorful, vibrant picture. A Tribe Called Quest elevated all hip-hop by dropping sounds with so much weight that it is not hard to understand why so much of the alternative hip-hop scene orbits around them.

Finley Quaye
This is not the Eels, but it is novocaine for the soul. Sunday Shining is a bright song that felt like a ray of sunshine on a particularly rainy day when I listened to it. Reggae, Soul, Jazz, and Funk are mixed to make... what? A Dance Pop album? I'm not sure, but this is probably sold close to where you find the Jamiroquai albums.

If interested, check out the article about this album in Pitchfork. Basically, the álbum is a tuned-down version of how the band sounded live. Live, it seems that their sound would melt the flesh from your bones. This album cannot do that but still shakes with tension.

Aretha Franklin
Hors concours! Giving this one five stars feels wrong, The album is in a league of its own. This is Aretha's first classic album and it did nothing less than open up a brave new world of emotional possibility for pop music.

Hot Fuss
The Killers
The Killers could not have asked for a better Las Vegas-inspired debut. Hot Fuss electrifies with dance-tinged rock anthems and brooding synth-driven tracks. However, I did just listen to The White Album, and everything else kind of pales in comparison to the Beatles (I'm biased towards the Beatles). Three stars.

Ellington at Newport
Duke Ellington
This is a historical Jazz album. I listened to the (complete) 2-hour and 7-minute version on Spotify, and it definitely does not fill that long. I loved that Duke is introduced by the Jazz Priest, Father Norman O'Connor, on track 2. The Jazz Priest comes back later because there are some conversations and introductions recorded. It helps imagine (a little) how it would be to be there.

Myths Of The Near Future
Klaxons
This is an interesting listening. The term "new rave" was coined by the band to refer to their sound in this album. The Guardian described the genre as "an in-yer-face, DIY disco riposte to the sensitive indie rock touted by bands like Bloc Party." I second that.

The United States Of America
Thiis is The United States Of America's only album. After all these years, it is still receiving praise. It is sad that disagreements between band members, particularly leader Joseph Byrd and others, about the band's future direction led to a break-up shortly after the album's release. It is also said it had limited commercial success at its time. But the album has stood the test of time for its uniqueness, to which I attribute its enduring relevance and elevation to a cult classic status.

Murmur
R.E.M.
Murmur is the debut album of Athens, Georgia jangle pop quartet R.E.M. It was released on April 12, 1983 to major critical and popular acclaim – Rolling Stone magazine named it the top album of the year and it peaked at #36 on the Billboard album chart. Michael Stipe’s enigmatic singing and mysterious lyricism coupled with Peter Buck’s Byrds-esque guitar work turned into one of the most interestingly introverted albums of the 1980s alternative rock movement. The front cover depicts a field of kudzu – “the plant that ate the South” – a weed which grows so rapidly and aggressively that it overtakes any area it grows in and kills off all other plants around it. The back cover depicts a trestle in Athens which has since become famous for its association with this album – becoming known as the “Murmur Trestle”. It was saved from demolition in 2000 and again in 2012 due to its claim to fame. Source: https://genius.com/ (accessed on June 1, 2024).
