5/5

I liked basically everything about this recording, from the careening vibe to the great sample work. Let's get cooooool... in the pool

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

This is the artistically and technically incredible album that isn't for me. I enjoyed listening to it enough, but I just can't connect to it on a higher level the way I see many people connecting to it. It's also neat listening to it and noticing how many different artists were informed by the wide range of sounds on the album.

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

2/5

Started really strong but fell off hard and Isle of Her almost made me cut this 36-minute album off early. It's kind of like you took that early 2000s indie rock sound but then washed it until the aesthetic faded away. The lyrics are total nonsense. Yes I know the one song is named Gravity's Rainbow but you can't just name a song after a book and have the song be about the book.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

Just a truly fun album to listen to.

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

4/5

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

I don't normally go back this far in Bowie's catalogue but I should because Hunky Dory is an excellent album. It's light, breezy, not too complicated even with the lyrics inviting you to get way too in depth about Crowley or whatever. I like the piano-driven Bowie, and of course everyone loves Life on Mars.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Adele

3/5

The Rolling Stones

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

1/5

This is awful, and now I also dislike the coconut song. None of this music needed to be recorded and it's a testament to the seventies that this urgently pointless music was tolerated. Be on the lookout for a really insightful song where a white dude asks why we can't just LISTEN to each other, man

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

4/5

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

2/5

I found this difficult to pay attention to.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

2/5

This was unremarkable.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

I enjoyed this a lot! The guitar work is immaculate and there's a certain quality to Nick's voice that makes him very easy to understand and listen to. At 28 minutes it's a good length for a collection of music like this, where you're never really tempted to tune out to what he's saying.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

3/5

I thought I would like this more than I did because I'm familiar with Black Cherry and Supernature and I liked Seventh Tree despite not being AS synthpop as those two albums. I enjoyed the listen and it gives more context to their later works but Felt Mountain is just a bit too lonely for my tastes.

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

Aside from the stone-cold classic Dancing Queen, I thought the rest of this album seemed to struggle a bit getting to that level of energy. Still, the songwriting is top notch and each song sounds distinct and has its own little twists and flairs that set it apart from a lot of other early 70s albums.

Birth Of The Cool

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

5/5

Absolute classic. I love most of the NIN discography and this is no exception. I don’t revisit it much anymore because I don’t feel the kinds of feelings that led me to it in the first place (something Trent has also spoken about) but the songwriting is still on point.

Good, honest southern rock.
