Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Blue is one of my favorite albums ever. In comparison, this one is just so... jaunty? I like it, and this is a good reminder to put it back into rotation as background music while I'm doing other things, but so far I really can't imagine sitting down for an hour and focusing all of my attention on it.

Young Americans

David Bowie

2/5

Musically and sonically it's great, and I do like its party energy, but his vocals are just so... affected? Hokey? It sounds like a parody. I'll admit that I caught myself humming along more than once, and if one of the songs came on in a bar I'm sure I'd be happy to listen to it. But when I got to the end I was just relieved that it was over.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

I like it! I don't have many reference points for hip hop, so I don't really know how to put it in any context, but I'd definitely put it on again.

Beautiful Freak

Eels

3/5

A quiet-ish listen while working earned them a full-volume listen while on the trainer, but for whatever reason it just didn't land. Feels like a "you had to be there" sort of album. *shrug*

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

5/5

Every time it ended I hit play again, and I just kept turning up the volume. (:

Suede

3/5

Enjoyed it, glad I've heard it, didn't feel inspired to listen a second time.

Bad Company

4/5

Makes me want to find a dive bar with a jukebox.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Is this song really "we're s-h-o-p-p-i-n-g, we're shopping"? Because it's adorable. Not my new favorite band or anything, but it's fun.

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

3/5

It took about half of the album for my brain to say "oh, this is campy, and that's why I want to listen to it," and from that point on I really enjoyed it.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

I think I liked it, but mostly I feel like I don't know how to listen to or appreciate disco.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

5/5

So in love. I grew up with all of these musicians and at least some of the songs, so they already had a special place in my heart.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Deserves another listen.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

This one was already special to me. It's been on my list to watch the movie again, listening to the album only made me more excited about that. (:

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Such an amazing guitar! Definitely deserves another listen.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

Sure!

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

5/5

I need more Miles Davis in my life.

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

I expected to like this one a lot more than I did. Could have been my mood on that particular day or could be some missing magic in the album.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Yup.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

3/5

Totally into it, at least through the first half. By the third half of the album I was ready to be done. (Accidentally rolled straight into the first half of the following album. Oops.)
