Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Oct 21 2023

A solid 4 for me, really enjoyed it. Quite different from their typical hits. Nice dubs and tight vocal delivery in true beastie fashion.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Oct 22 2023

To me it's a 2. I tried to like it back in the day, listened to it again but still just doesn't resonate. I appreciate musicals so it surprises me that I don't dig it. Not really sure why but it might be the Las Vegas style vocal delivery.

Fragile by Yes
Oct 23 2023

It's a really solid 3. Liked it back in the day but some of it sounds a bit dated now. Excellent musicianship all round though. Roundabout and Mood for a Day always brings a smile to my face.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Oct 24 2023

Only getting a 2 off of this one. Didn't know it back in the day. The first song had my expectations high but the rest just didn't resonate. I appreciate that it moved the genre forward with its dubs and media cuts.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Oct 25 2023

Solid 3. Love the playfully lyrics and delivery with a few classics.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Oct 26 2023

Muddy at his best. Love Johnny Winters slide and production contributions. Breathing new life into the blues in ‘77. Much respect. 4/5.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Oct 27 2023

80’s dance music for gothic cathedrals. Good stuff but sounds dated at this point. In context with the times it was fresh and exciting. 3/5

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Oct 28 2023

Angry, not to my taste, too much power chord grinding. 1/5

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Oct 31 2023

Amazing live recording. Up there with BB King at the Regal.

The Predator by Ice Cube

Nov 12 2023
