Endtroducing.....
DJ Shadow
Wanted to like this a bit more than I did; some interesting textures and I appreciate the production using samples, I always found that cool with older hip hop.
‘Number Song’ has some drive to it, cool breakdown and beats.
‘Napalm Brain’ also had a good sound to it.
Wasn’t a huge fan of much else on it. Cool listen though and glad I gave it a rip.

Kendrick Lamar
Of course Ive heard how impactful and influential this album was, and definitely heard the singles before; but it was nice to really dig in.
I love the mix of producers, jazz elements, cinematic style, and attention to detail.
Standouts: All the vocal interludes, Sherane, Backseat Freestyle, Drakes verse on Poetic Justice,

Miles Davis
Love Miles Davis, even love his newer stuff, but this was a mid album. Not a ton to really react to, a little dull.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Public Enemy
Was expecting a bit more from such a ‘seminal’ album. Beats were a bit bland and got repetitive.
I appreciate the lyrics and the aggressive style, just not my cuppa.

Live And Dangerous
Thin Lizzy
Decent production, I love live albums so it’s nice to hear these tracks live from a band like this.
Never really listened to much Thin Lizzy, but I’m digging it.

Cool to hear some of the old Blues standards from Elvis. Mixed bag production wise, fun pop. I echo others here, music wasn’t really new; just new to white folk.

Stan Getz
When there is actual jazz happening via instrumentals I like it, but too much singing and generic bossa nova to have much bite.
