1/5

No, just no. I get that this was maybe experimental, but it was not enjoyable to listen to at all.

This is objectively terrible. I'm only on the third track and I really can't finish it. It's just bad.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

A solid blues album. I found myself not getting lost in the music though. It wasn't bad, but not really engaging either.

Straight blues. I liked the driving feel. Not too bad.

In The Wee Small Hours

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Of course this is good. Doesn't contain all the hits, but is still pretty good.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

There were a lot of hits on this album. Thriller, Beat It, PYT, Billie Jean. Hard to not rate this high.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

2/5

Not bad, but not really interesting. Seemed like some interesting background music, but not terribly interesting.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Not bad. Just kind of okay I guess.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

The great American songbook. Ella's voice is awesome. The songs are iconic. It's really great.

Picture Book

Simply Red

2/5

Not really very good. There were a couple interesting sections, but nothing that really held my attention. I did not enjoy this album, but at least I finished it.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

2/5

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

2/5

This wasn't very exciting. It wasn't bad, but some of the songs were covered better by other bands. I kept thinking that the driving blues would go somewhere but it just kind of felt stagnant. Overall, forgettable. It did have the original version of Layla on it though. Didn't realize this was a group with Eric Clapton.

Sign 'O' The Times

Classic Michael Jackson.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

1/5

I had higher expectations for Dr. John. This was actually pretty not good.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

1/5

Some interesting songs, some nice grooves, but overall not terribly exciting.

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

Some of the songs were really catchy. There were a couple tracks that had collaborating artists, like Carlos Santana or Bonnie Raitt. I thought it was a pretty decent album.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

2/5

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

1/5

Not sure what this was. It seemed to be some nice beats with little rhythmic vamps and some speeches over top. Nothing really interesting.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

3/5

Not a bad samba album. Samba isn't necessarily my favorite, but this was enjoyable.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

3/5

Fun engaging album. I was bopping to this all day long. It starts off with Apache, which is just fun. There were, weirdly, a couple random covers of songs like 'In A Gadda D Vida' and 'Wipeout'. They were surprising.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

1/5

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

Hands down, one of my favorite albums of all time. A classic.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

2/5

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

3/5

I can see why Rod Stewart went single. Still, not a bad album. It had some fun songs.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

2/5

Not too bad, but not really engaging. There were a couple tunes that were interesting, but somewhat forgettable.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

2/5

A song by Billie Holiday came on after this. I enjoyed that much better. Not a big fan of this one.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

2/5

There were some weird electronic effects that I was not a big fan of. There were a lot of electronic instruments, like someone went overboard with keyboards. The first song was Promenade, and I was pretty excited. I've been looking for a funk version of Promenade, which I thought could have come from ELP. This was not it. Overall, not bad, but not something that I want to listen to again.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

5/5

Excellent album. I had forgotten about this. Somehow listening to this album makes me nostalgic for a time or place that I never experienced. It just has that feel that makes you want to sit and watch the rain fall, or slow dance, or slow dance in the rain. Pretty excellent.

Winter In America

Gil Scott-Heron

2/5

Kind of weird political slow jams. Not really good, but I could at least sit through it.

The Poet

Bobby Womack

2/5

Ehh. This wasn't very much fun. It was okay I guess, but not something I'm going to listen to again.

All Directions

The Temptations

2/5
