Court And Spark
Joni Mitchell
I want to bottle her voice up and keep it for days which I feel bad. It’s so unique and cutting, too me, almost a perfectly delicate singing voice, that’s passionate and soothing. I’ve always been privy more to how a song sounds, vs. its lyrics and meaning, but this album strikes both so well. Her other album, Blue, is also terrific which I’ve listened too. 3.7

Blur
Love me some BLUR, they’re the most British ‘sounding’ band I’ve listened to, which isn’t saying a ton cause several bands have their accents and what not. I don’t know they have a certain way with their chaotic instrumentals and lyrics that works well. 3.2

Utilizing a bunch of odd sounds. Finger snapping, clapping, spacial beats. These mixed with her unique sounding voice and vocals makes the album a bit more peculiar. Gotta say though it’s hard to make out what she’s saying a lot of the time. 2.8

Apart from a couple songs that I recognize from games like Guitar Hero (or Burnout ;)) I haven’t heard a majority of this album, partly, I’ve never been super interested in Guns N’ Roses, but I get the appeal.
