Birth Of The Cool
Miles Davis
For some reason I'm reminded of Looney Tunes. I liked Boplicity and Rocker lot. The last song was... off-putting.

Winter In America
Gil Scott-Heron
"I hate avant-garde music" I say and yet.... I kind of liked it. Gil Scott-Heron has a complex and compelling voice which is somehow complimented by the keyboard. At once soft and chaotic, this is losing yourself on the New York Subway, middle of the night music. "H20 Gate Blues" still feels too relevant.

Isn't Anything
My Bloody Valentine
Really enjoyed listening to this one. I can totally see how this album could have been an influence for a ton of other stuff (thinking of Smashing Pumpkins or Nirvana). My singular complaint is that the production quality is pretty shit/fuzzy (probably on purpose but I hate it) which definitely made me enjoy less. I think it would be a 5 if the recording was a little more clear, though Lose My Breath almost carried it for me.

It might have been tolerable if it was shorter, but 2 hours of mediocre old folk music is way, way too much. I didn't finish.

A couple songs were definitely a 4-5, but mostly I was neutral on this. The couple really good songs carried it. Her voice was pretty haunting- it made me wish it was raining

Not my usual thing but I find this delightful. I'd give it a 4.5 but a handful of songs were kinda weird and not fun to listen to which brought it down.

The way overused fadeaways drive me nuts, but his vocal talent is undeniable. I really hope dirty, dirty feeling is a joke... lyrical content in general brought it down to a 3, musically it's a 4.
