My 1001 Albums Journey

Fleet Foxes

3/5

Indie with lots of folk elements. A few songs stand out, but overall, would not listen to front to back again. 6/10.

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Very 1950s, almost sounds like it's out of a fallout game. Coffee Jazz on the instrumentals. Audio quality for a live recording made in the 1950s is very good. Sarah has a very nice voice. The instrumentals are very subdued, which is a good thing because it allows her voice to really shine as the star of the show. 6/10

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

I was already aware of this album and several songs on it. Going in, I know its a classic for a reason. It's always nice to hear a Hendrix cover as well, thought it does not compare to the original at all. The titular song, Layla, is obviously a certified banger. However, I wasn't much of a fan of the rest of the album. 6/10.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Certified banger 8/10

Elephant

The White Stripes

7/10

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

2/5

Yesterday I listened to the Alice In Chains unplugged for fun, so this has the bar set very high right after listening to one of the best live albums of all time. Recording quality is good, but the crowd can be very annoying. The vocals are really good, and instrumentation is good. You can very much tell this was an early 60s album. Overall not my thing, but I cannot deny the talent displayed on this album. That said, I probably wont listen again. I almost feel bad rating it this low, but the crowds constantly screeching ruins the album for me. 4/10.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

Yee haw. Big Iron/10

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

The orchestra is cool. 7/10.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

Sadly two songs are unavailable on Spotify in the US. I mean it's alright 5/10.
