With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

Don't Bother Me - Excellent song Hold Me Tight - Beach Boys Vibe 6/10. Inoffensive. Typical Beatles. Short, with short songs.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

Tight, sharp sound. Love Norwegian Wood and I'm Looking Through You. Nowhere Man and In My Life are absolute classics. Run For Your Life is creepy.

Tapestry

Carole King

5/5

So many great songs. An amazing album start to finish.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

Brooding, deep voice. Slow Like Honey is a great track. The First Taste doesn't fit the rest of the album. OK album overall. Don't love, don't hate.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

3/5

Mirrorball is AMAZING. Rest of the album is OK. Feels like pretty generic mellow rock. Might need another listen.

Gorillaz

3/5

Interesting sound. Songs flow together well. Album is OK.

Street Life

The Crusaders

2/5

Easy listening. Sounds like hold music or what you might hear in a hotel lobby. Bold to start the album with a song lasting 11 minutes. Not the best.

Country Life

Roxy Music

3/5

Catchy glam-rock album. Good lyrics, great voice. Love "A Really Good Time".

Great grunge album. Feels a lot like Soundgarden and Silverchair.

Separating the art and the artist. Lots of amazing songs. A shame Kanye went crazy. Won't stream his music again to give him money.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

Fine rock and roll music. Nothing so special. Layla is amazing, but nothing else stands out.

Melody A.M.

2 classics (Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion), but didn't really care for anything else. Big Ten Inch Record is actually awful.
