O Monstro Precisa De Amigos by Ornatos Violeta

Emotional singing. Surely singing with eyes closed perhaps and looking slightly upwards and twisting face to monstrous positions most likely. Enjoyable throughout. If this was made by some fuckass anglosphere indie rock band it would have a 3.1-3.2 rating.

Moffou by Salif Keita

Rich. This reminds me of wealth. Typical Malian jamming and meandering that was perfected much before the time of this. An hour passes quickly when listening to this. Absolute banger at the end of the album

First Utterance by Comus

Wow... Incredible pick by genius user... A 1971 [genre], [genre-genre] album, with some [genre] and [genre] mixed in. At the time of this album the countercultural movement had blazed across every form of media in the west, with subjects like death and drugs and sexual proclivities becoming normalized especially in music. But who was truly exploring the extremities of the human condition? Only a handful few, of which Comus was most certainly a big part of. Murderous madness and rape turned out to be quite a lot less marketable than generic ballads about the Vietnam War and even the usual progressive crowd rejected this album, preferring a safer examination into themes of societal issues and alienation that bands like King Crimson and Pink Band were providing. Okay that's great and all but how does it sound? Well it is not an easy listen but it is an undeniable masterpiece... High points are the dark, folky use of fiddle and the incredible percussive work throughout the album. The singing is best in the background adjoining the rest of the instrumental soundscape in the form of melodic chants and aggressive hollering, whereas the lead vocals and lyrical reciting by Roguh Wootton are kinda poop shit fuck poop. 5 STAARS. FIVE STAAARS FOR THIS...

Excitable Boy by Warren Zevon

This fucking nerd. Music for geeks and dorks and such. Give me your lunch money four-eyes and go play your little piano. Spectacled scuttling sneaking piano boy. Smoke a cigarette maybe before you come up to me.

Jaco Pastorius by Jaco Pastorius

Didn't this guy kill his wife? Anyways this frog-looking feller is an absolute genius, this is pure heat from start to finish. Snapping my fingers and slapping my thigh to this currently. Bass sounds very good.
