There's No Place Like America Today
Curtis Mayfield
Initially I liked it.
The first few tracks were very pleasing, and the funky R&B with social overtones in the lyrics were well done.
As the album continued, I lost general interest. The vocals of Curtis Mayfield (although excellent) became repetitive to my ears.
Glad I listened, but probably won't listen to the full album again.
Granted I didn't give dedicated attention to the lyrics that I would upon a third or fourth listen through.

Red Headed Stranger
Willie Nelson
Great!
I'm a sucker for albums that have a story.
My only real issue is the "disjointed" nature of said story.
But still great.
The album did sound a little demo-ish, but I like the low production style with Willie Nelsons voice.

Station To Station
David Bowie
It's was okay.
Not a massive Bowie fan.
But I still liked some of the songs.

Fun House
The Stooges
Meh
It was fine, I liked some of the proto punk themes and sounds. But honestly the whole album just made me feel like I'd rather be listening to the Doors

Dummy
Portishead
Pretty solid.
I was drawn in pretty early on and like it the whole way through.
I don't think repeat listens would be quite as good, and there wasn't really any single worthy bops, for me.

Chirping Crickets
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Buddy Holly is a legend of pre-beatles music. Or so you're told. This album shows you why he was popular, and obviously music has changed a lot since then, but I still find it very enjoyable.
The songs were good, with some emotional flair. 4/5

Ambient music is fine, but cosmic ambient music is amazing!

Sheet Music
10cc
This was an interesting listen.
I hadn't heard of the band, found the music fun. Some of the riffs were very catchy, and very "cool"
I'm not sure where to rate them between 3-5....four it is I suppose. But doesn't feel right.
Give it a listen for yourself

Aladdin Sane
David Bowie
I think this goes for every Bowie album I've listened to.
Some songs are fine, some songs are good, some songs are great. None seem to be bad. But as an album experience, it never feels quite right.

Franz Ferdinand
I wanted to love this album as much as I love the track Take Me Out, and while it wasn't a bad listen, it just blended into the background for me.

Checked all the boxes for a jazz record for me.
I think this will definitely enter my short list of jazz records to replay

I'm a little torn.
I wanted to like this, hell I did like some of it, but some it was very hard to get through.

I enjoyed the album. It was an interesting listen. Not sure I'd listen to it again or if any songs would stick in my head.
