Birth Of The Cool
Miles Davis
I can definitely understand why Miles Davis was so influential to Jazz. I can recognize how he has influenced even some rap artists I listen to. The opening track is stunning with what he can do on the trumpet. I like the fast, snappy pace of most of the tracks. I feel like this is something that should be listened to on vinyl; digital doesn't do it justice. You need to feel it. The trombone solo in Deception makes me miss playing trombone myself. I don't listen to jazz much because there's just so much of it and I don't know where to start, so this was very helpful. I love the genre so much and have been tapping my foot throughout the whole album. It's very noticeable that there is emotion in the songs; Miles Davis portrays it so well.

I have no idea what they're saying; this is my kind of rock. Although now this feels more like punk. To be honest, I didn't know when punk started, but in or around 1977 would not have been my guess.

I literally grew up on Mama Mia. I have loved ABBA since I was a tiny child. There are very few songs that make me shiver and Head Over Heels has now been added to that list.

It's some very classic jazz. Easy to listen to, but a little too easy. There really wasn't anything interesting about it to me.

Very funky. A genre I haven't heard before or at least can't name. There was nothing particularly exciting about it but it wasn't bad background music.

Kendrick Lamar
I am already a big fan of Kendrick, but I haven't listened to this album as of yet. So far it obviously doesn't disappoint, Kendrick is always good. I'm particularly loving Backseat Freestyle. Unfortunately though, my experience of this album has been tainted by Vine and meme culture as I can't help but think of them when I hear m.A.A.d city or Swimming Pools (Drank). However, As always, Kendrick excels lyrically and even though we've come from completely different backgrounds, I feel like I can understand.

White Blood Cells
The White Stripes
Obviously everyone knows The White Stripes because of Seven Nation Army, and I'd heard some of their other stuff like I Fell in Love With a Girl. However, this album was not what I was expecting. The mix of genres or just feels was reminiscent of why I fell in love with another band, Gorillaz. I also had no idea that We're Gonna Be Friends was by them, so that was quite a surprise.

Yknow I didn't really believe that he wanted to get it on after the first song. But I was definitely convinced by "Keep Gettin' It On" that he was gettin' it on.

Freak Out!
The Mothers Of Invention
Read that this is considered one of the first concept albums. I like concept albums. Also, Frank Zappa is in it? I would not have known without looking that up... I'm not very keen on my 60s rock. It made me look into the freak culture of the west coast in the 60s and it was so fascinating. If you don't know anything about it, look up the Hunter S. Thompson Aspen sheriff campaign. It's fascinating. Also "it doesn't bother me at all that you're only 18 baby, I've got some motherly love for you" is crazy lmaoooo. I love the silly voice they do when they're mocking someone. I'm also loving the weird use of a kazoo (?) in so many songs?? It Can't Happen Here so crazy I added it to my liked songs. I am confused though, because in "The Return Of The Son Of Monster Magnet" there are lyrics on Spotify but I'm not hearing them? Am I just stupid? I think this track is making me go crazy

I really enjoy the intro to their very first song. Instantly hooked. So far, it sounds like something my mom would like /pos. I kind of just feel like I'm in a coming-of-age movie montage while this plays. Also a lot of the more common genres of rock don't appeal to me that much, they sound kind of corny most of the time. These guys especially kind of sound like if Mordecai and Rigby had a real band. Like this is exactly the music they'd make.

My mom was a huge Genesis fan, so I'm sure she would love this album. I'm gonna have to listen again because I feel like I was a little too distracted to give an accurate rating. He's got some very interesting songs and unique style.

Pixies
I love the Pixies. Obviously, I've known Where Is My Mind? off this album for a while, my girlfriend introduced me to it. However, this whole album is a perfect little pill of indie-alt-rock. It's honestly great that it's only 33 minutes, making for a nice quick listen, but of course, I also wish it were longer at the same time. Also I can't believe this is their first album... They really hit the ground running!
