Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

Definitely good grooves and breakbeats. Recognized a few samples that I've heard previously on hip-hop songs.

Liquid Swords

GZA

4/5

At first, listening to this album for the first time in 5-10 years was a bit underwhelming. However, the more I listened, the better it got just as I remembered. I used to love this album in highschool when I first discovered hip-hop. The production, GZA's lyrical ability, the features from other Wu-Tang members and affiliates made this such a great album. RZA's production on this album is one of his best. My favorite tracks was #13, which surprisingly wasn't produced by RZA.

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

2/5

Was not a fan of the album.

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

2/5

I’m a fan of old school hip-hop, just not this old school.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Beautiful album. All of the songs are so good. Reggae has a tendency of reminding me of my childhood and putting me in a good mood. My dad would take me to work with him and sometimes reggae songs would play. Specifically Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Gregory Isaacs etc.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

1/5

Incoherent.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

The songwriting and voice are sooo boring. The instrumentals themselves weren't half bad except for the monstrosity of Running Dry and it's violin part which almost made me get tinnitus. Cinnamon Girl, Down By The River, The Losing End, and Cowgirl in the Sand were good instrumental wise. Maybe if it was someone else singing with better lyrics it would be much better.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Classic album.

The Clash

4/5

Great punk album, love the grittyness of the main singer. Had some tunes and grooves stuck in my head the whole day.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

1/5

Still not a fan of this era of shout rap.

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

MC Solaar

3/5

Great musical production and voice. Wish I knew what he was saying though.

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

3/5

Decent album.

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

3/5

beautiful voice, great production, but only a few memorable songs.

Station To Station

David Bowie

1/5

i always heard golden years at my retail job, never did i once think to my self “damn who sings this, its such a good song? i want to hear more.” his voice sounds short of nails screeching on a chalk board. not for me.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

3/5

I enjoyed tracks 1 and 4 for what they were. I could see the concept of playing this at an airport while you wait to be boarded or checking in luggage. However, the fact that track 2 and 3 used the same vox/vocal kind of annoyed me because it brought a sense of discomfort. 2.5/5

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

Didn’t mind this album. It felt like quintessential middle american music even though he’a irish.

NEU! 75

Neu!

1/5

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

I have been a fan of FO since Nostalgia, Ultra. I had not listen to this album in a long while. While not his best songwriting, it still brought so many memories. The music itself is just as good as I remember. The instrumentation is spectacular, specially Pyramids.

Homework

Daft Punk

2/5

yikes - yikes - yikes - yikes - yikes - yikes - yikes - yikes - yikes - yikes - yikes

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

3/5

beautiful voices, just not for me.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

meh, nothing special.
