Miles Davis
This album makes me ask the question: How do you define jazz? I haven’t listened to much jazz, but this pushes beyond what I thought it could be. Very experimental with the flavors of rock and electric instrumentation. Also for being over 90 minutes it never felt drawn out.

Him being a bad person does nothing to me as I am a Kanye West fan. Separating the art from the artist I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. 3.5 I’ll be mean and round down.

King Crimson
Some all time prog rock wankery here. Lots to love here. The plinky noises at the intro to the title track building up the explosions of noise later in the track. The reverse sounding guitars on The Book Of Saturday. The use of violin and strings throughout reminds of Jethro Tull and their flute. Bill Bruford really decided to leave Yes because Close To The Edge was laborious to show up here and do nonsense like this. It’s still amazing to me how I can love something like this yet still not love EL&P.

I mean it was alright. Very theatrical. Every song sort of felt like an intro that never went anywhere. It’s was like Rush but without the excellent musicality that makes Rush so good.

The Notorious B.I.G.
Just about every song here is a certified classic. Incredible beats and quite possibly the best flow and voice of all time. Would be an easy 5/5 if not for the sex skits, which haven’t aged well, and Diddy not ever shutting up. Who Shot Ya? Is one of the best beats ever, but half of the song is his yapping. My favorite songs were Gimme The Loot, The What, Juicy, Big Poppa, Unbelievable, and Who Shot Ya?
