Revolver by Beatles
May 16 2023

6.25/10. Decent album. Probably not a top 3 Beatles album for me though. Transcendental druggy vibe, some good songs, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine.

5/10.The R-E-S-P-E-C-T album. Aretha has a great voice, but it's not enough to overcome the samey sound of this album for me. If you like the style and genre you will enjoy this, similar to The Strokes album Is This It, where you either love it or it's not for you. This wasn't for me.

Album only on YouTube, was choppier as a result. 7/10. Great guitar, funky sounds, a bit slow for me. Ends in an edited down Maggot Brain, extended original version on the Maggot Brain album is better, listen to that album instead. I'm probably missing the cultural significance of this album.

Aja by Steely Dan
May 19 2023

7/10. The king of noodling. Just a good funky album from a funky dude. The white man's Santana, if you will.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
May 22 2023

8.5+/10. Beautiful album. Beautiful voice. So much sorrow and emotion packed into 40 minutes, what an album.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
May 23 2023

3/10. Meh album. I'm just not a big S&G fan and this is far from their best.

May 24 2023

7.5/10. Incredible voice. Iconic artist. Great soulful album. Contemporary of Aretha Franklin and The Rolling Stones and it shows.

Street Life by The Crusaders
May 25 2023

Decent jazz album, I'm just not that into jazz.

Picture Book by Simply Red
May 26 2023

2/10. Didn't even finish it. Meh jazz pop rock album.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
May 29 2023

6/10. Decent indie album. I probably liked their album Funeral more, but it's been a while.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Jun 01 2023

2.5/10. Didn't finish the album. Freeform, noisy, like jazz but rock. Wasn't for me.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Jun 02 2023

2/10. Europop synth is just not my thing.
