At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

Pretty cool hearing how riled up the crowd got by Pt. 2 of Mojo. Goodbye Newport Blues is very obviously an inspiration for Zeppelin. Powerful vocals.

Low-Life

New Order

2/5

The guitar tone clashes too much with the other instruments for me to enjoy. Vocalist seems to constantly be dancing around the correct pitch. Almost sounds like someone singing karaoke. Overall a pretty unenjoyable experience.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

5/5

Very few people could make a 2 chord vamp for 20 minutes sound interesting and Keith Jarrett is certainly one of them. I've had a hard time getting into his playing in the past only because of how annoying his vocalizations are but thankfully they were very minimal in this.

Debut

Björk

4/5

I had only heard Human Behavior before but really enjoyed this album. There's More To Life Than This is very groovy. Bjork is obviously a good singer but I like how her voice is also very raw and mistakes or missed notes are left in. The female equivalent of Thom Yorke.

Metallica

4/5

I'm not a big metal fan so the album is kind of a "meh" for me. Good production and performances though. I've also heard most of the songs before.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

5/5

The combination of Ella's vocals and the arrangements is perfect.

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

3/5

Highly chaotic. The album art is a very accurate representation of the sonic landscape. I could see this being a very fun and energetic live show. Probably won't ever listen to this again though.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

I previously had only heard Time to Pretend, Kids, and Electric Feel so I was surprised by how eclectic the songwriting on this album is.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

5/5

I was blown away but this album. Very original songs and such a raw vocal performance

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

3/5

Fine. Completely forgettable

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

3/5

Good production and decent songs. Not my thing overall.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Easy 5 stars. I've listened through the album dozens of times and enjoy it equally each time. Perfect.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

I can see why this is called the Sgt Peppers of hip hop. Some iconic samples throughout. I liked how often some of the beats changed just in one song.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

American Pie

Don McLean

4/5

Street Life

The Crusaders

4/5

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

5/5

This is way more eclectic than I was thinking it'd be. Definitely can hear the influences they have on modern metal. Also lots of Zeppelin and Hendrix sounds

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

I like about half of the songs on this album. Some of the electronic heavy tracks lose me. Radiohead is one of my favorite bands though so it wasn't unbearable

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

Beautiful Freak

Eels

3/5

Music

Madonna

1/5

I hate this. Shitty club backbeats ruin most songs for me.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds
