Sail Away

Randy Newman

5/5

I absolutely loved this album, and I had never heard it before. The arrangement was so clever, the lyrics were so wonderful and touching and thought provoking. I will definitely add this to my rotation.

2/5

Respect to the pioneers. That said, it sounds a bit repetitive to 2022 ears. It’s definitely a classic and you can hear how the influence permeates the genre. Plus, the drum machines are fantastic.

The Temptations

4/5

Really good soul and funk vibes! I’d heard a few of the songs off this album before, but really enjoyed this listen!

The Doors

5/5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

3/5

Such a great album. Very familiar with it already, but always an enjoyable listen. Of all Nirvana’s albums, this is the one I return to most frequently.

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

1/5

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

2/5

I mean, it’s fine. It’s just not my thing. I get that it’s technically accomplished and it’s an interesting fusion of genres and influences. I just wouldn’t want to listen to it more than once.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

What an outstanding album. I’d never listened to it the whole way though and it’s beautiful, uplifting, wonderful.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Bitterness never sounded so sweet! It’s not my favorite Marvin Gaye album, but it’s still a Marvin Gaye album, and you can never go wrong with that.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

1/5

Eeeew. Dross! How did this even make the list?! Just no.

Caetano Veloso

High Violet

Prince

This album is a masterpiece.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

5/5

There is nothing not to like about this collection. Ella Fitzgerald is always on point.

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

I am glad that this album showed up. I’m a Bowie fan, but less familiar with his output after the 70s/80s. This album was beautiful and haunting and a fitting final work.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

2/5

I want to like this album. But it’s too much chaos for my ears and brain. For Coltrane, I’ll take the Coltrane/Ellington In A Sentimental Mood album over this every time.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

Hmmm. I enjoyed this more than expected, but apparently less than most folks. Still, really enjoyed the more chill, atmospheric bits. Then, other pieces of the sampling just sounded like a mishmash of whatever.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

This is such a great album. I still listen to it cover to cover a couple of times a year.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

It's a rocker! Here's the thing - I love rock and roll, but I don't really vibe with the blues. Even still, this album cannot be denied.

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

4/5

I’d never listened to Ryan Adams before, but I totally loved this album. Apparently Ryan Adams is a reprehensible human, but sometimes (often, actually), shitty people make great music. This is the first album thats come up that I hadn’t heard before that I’m sold on.

GREY Area

Little Simz

1/5

Nah.

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

2/5

The tracks that are bangers make this album worthwhile, but overall it’s pretty lackluster and sounds a bit dated. Keep On Movin’, Back To Life, and Jazzie’s Groove are decent though!

Sail Away

Randy Newman
