Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs
Derek & The Dominos
I've never been a big fan of Clapton, so I've never sought out his work. I've found his solo work boring and I never thought Cream lived up to the hype. Like, I seriously don't get why people thought he was the best rock guitarist. So, in listening to this in its entirety for the first time today I found it to be better than I was expecting. I got bored before it ended -- they probably could have trimmed 30 mins from the 75, but I didn't turn it off either. I doubt I'd voluntarily listening to it again, but if it was playing in the background somewhere I don't think I'd complain.

The older I get the more I appreciate (& love Steely Dan). I'm not a big fan of "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" making this album not as strong in my opinion as Aja, Countdown to Ecstacy, the Royal Scam, or Can't Buy a Thrill.

After the first 90 seconds of listening to this tripe, I felt like I was in a training montage of a 90s-00s sci-fi, action and/or thriller flick. I hated this shit at the time, and it seriously hasn't aged well. Had to turn it off after 8 minutes. Absolute garbage.

I smoked a lot of weed in high school listening to this album, but I feel like it hasn't aged as well as other hip-hop albums from the late 80s/early 90s. The beats are pretty good, but the lyrics are terrible. Couldn't make it past the 4th track. 2 stars for nostalgia. 2/5

Smile
Brian Wilson
Having grown up with Smiley Smile & various bootlegs of Smile, I was stoked to check this out when it came out in 2004, but frankly 2011’s Smile Sessions, Smiley Smile & the various bootlegs sound so much better than this re-recorded tripe. The best thing about this album is that there is a definitive track listing/sequencing, but would Smile have actually been released as a 52 minute double album in 1967? This release should be replaced in the book by the Smile Sessions.

Licensed To Ill
Beastie Boys
I was 10 years old when this album came out, & I was just branching out into developing my own music tastes beyond my parents' (Beach Boys, Beatles, Monkees) or Top 40 radio (Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Cindi Lauper). I remember there was a lot of parental anxiety over this album (& hip-hop & heavy metal in general). I can't remember if I wasn't allowed to buy it, or I had merely assumed the outcome of that conversation before it was had, so not only was it one of the first albums I acquired that was "my" music, this was the first tape that I copied off of a friend.
Since Check Your Head came out (& completely blew my mind), I have hardly listened to License to Ill. I'd say "Girls" & "Fight for Your Right" are the two weakest tracks on the album, and the deep cuts were refreshing to revisit. I'd still take Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication, & Hello Nasty over this one.
4/5 - a flawed classic.
