American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

A number of covers, which I didn't know but Cash's haunting voice always delivers

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

3/5

Old school music - beautiful voice with orchestra in the background.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

It was good, not groundbreaking by any means

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

Typical what you would expect from Traffic - nothing amazing

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

haunting songs and voice

Sound Affects

The Jam

4/5

early punk rock vibes. All songs are 3ish minutes. British. I get Clash vibes

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

2/5

Slowcore music. Jam-type, no lyrics. First song is 20 minutes - FYI. It's meh. Prob 2-3 stars. Not for me

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

Classic album from Miles Davis - first song will remind you of his talent

Maxinquaye

Tricky

3/5

I'm not totally sure how to describe him. He has some female vocals over rap-based beats. Aftermath is a good song. Almost as if you were to strip away raps and just have some sampled beats and put a soft female voice over it. 3.5-4 stars

For Your Pleasure

Not for me. Would not listen again.

New Forms

Roni Size
