I really enjoy Dark Side of the Moon and Animals. This album is overblown, too long, and boring. I couldn't finish it. Some of the songs are good, but the whole thing is too long

This album has been surpassed by the Smile Sessions release.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

I was behind in my reviews, so I reviewed two albums back to back. The other album was System of a Down. The whiplash my spirit experienced! These albums are only 41 years apart, but they sound like they are from different universes.

Solid album. Not ground-breaking.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

5/5

This was already one of my desert island discs. I've listened to this album many times. The poly-rhythmic interaction between Coltrane and the other players in his band means that I can listen to this album many, many times and never get bored. I wish that I could give this a 6.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

4/5

This album was played in every restaurant and lounge in Vancouver in 2000

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

Solid album. Anchored by Papa Was a Rolling Stone. It is strange to hear "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and the voice is so close to Roberta Flack. Also, "Do Your Thing" not the Isaac Hayes version.

Stankonia

OutKast

3/5

I am a big fan of Outkast. I own their first 3 albums. This album made them blow up, but I don’t think it is as good as the earlier albums. So Fresh and So Clean and Ms Jackson are classics
