Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

7/10 - Upbeat, jazzy, funky, spoken word. Some Stevie Wonder influence. Large range of styles.

Fun House

The Stooges

3/5

6/10 - Album starts strong but starts to unravel through its tracks.

Only By The Night

Kings of Leon

4/5

7/10. Feels like a well-tuned alt-rock album. The hit single "Sex on Fire" almost feels out of place compared to the early tracks.

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

4/5

7/10 - Feels like the Flaming Lips essentials. Tracks don't get too far off the rails or feel drawn out despite averaging over 4 minutes each.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

4/5

7/10 - Did not expect 90s hard-core and was completely unfamiliar with their music

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

3/5

5/10 - Didn't really grab me

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

7/10 - More familiarity than I'd realized but feels a bit played out due to heavy pop culture use.

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

2/5

4/10 - The vocals sound like a ghost moonlighting as a Thom Yorke impersonator.

Virgin Suicides

Air

4/5

7/10 - Album flew by. Makes for easy background listening and must be tightly constructed track list.
