Heaven Or Las Vegas
Cocteau Twins
Solid easy listening, not too ambitious. Maybe a little over compressed. Drums seemed to lack transients, but that makes it less edgy and thus more accessible. Melodies were solid and sound design seemed in line with end of 80s synths, instrumentation, and safe mixing.

Natty Dread
Bob Marley & The Wailers
Bob always comes through. Those basslines are so sick. Never knew the name "Family Man" before having to figure out who played bass for The Wailers. This might not have many of the timeless classics but it still put me in a better mood.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I like art rock that can keep me interested, again some solid bass lines here.

Frampton Comes Alive
Peter Frampton
Not my favorite kind of music, but a few more classic hits here than I knew Frampton was responsible for.

Heartattack And Vine
Tom Waits
Great songwriting, didn't mind the voice. Too many blues progressions - but it's consistent and meets or exceeds expectations...

The Yes Album
Yes
I liked this a lot - it didn't require a ton of attention and despite being prog rock I felt it was groovy and made sense rhythmically. Lots of prog rock can throw you off the groove but I didn't get that sense listening to this. The harmonies vocally were pretty good too. But kind of an annoyingly high tenor at times. Some of the time signature changes were a bit rushed later in the album though.
