Popular Reviews

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

4/5

What a strange conglomeration of styles and genres. Just weird, crazy music. However, I found it interesting in an odd way for me. This was certainly something ahead of its time for 1969. In retrospect, I was just 6 years old and had no clue that this stuff was out there. For the great creativity and pioneering spirit I give it 4 stars!

Abraxas

Santana

5/5

Masterful work by Carlos Santana. The true pinnacle of Classic Latin Rock for all time!

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Smooth, mellow creativity, but sad ballads in this album, which reflects his breakup with his girlfriend. Not a particular favorite of mine, but still a good work from Beck.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

The true pioneer of psychodelic rock/blues both in writing and performing. This album is the all-time classic and set the bar to which all is measured.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

A country classic! Great to hear the live dialog in between songs.

Disintegration

The Cure

3/5

Interesting long track album. Definitely deep gothic kinda techno rock. A classic of the 80's rock ballad sound as a precursor to the acid/punk rock of the 90's.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Wow, didn't know that they had some covers and interviews on the album. Still, this is a testimony of the great Isleys and the pillar of who they are. I never knew they had 11 albums at this point in their discography. Kudos to them and their accomplishments. Great classic soul of the time.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

5/5

I used to own this on vinyl and played it often back then. Another all-time classic album from the era.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

A great classic of the time from David Bowie.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

4/5

The Who is a classic '60s rock sound, which I didn't realize what I heard often back in the day. I thought they were much harder rock, so I was surprised at this album.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

I thought he sounded like Ronald Isley, but now I know who this is. A great laid-back sound of the time.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

3/5

Not my cup of tea, but a decent album.

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

5/5

Wow! Jazz, Soul, 80's Hip Hop Rap, 90's New Jack Swing, everything wrapped into one! A master work of the time.

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

4/5

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

If only 2 tracks on the entire album, it is a masterclass work by Miles Davis! Impressive work of the time. This is supposedly a fusion work but I feel like it's more jazz than anything else. I enjoyed listening to the entire record. It was flowing and relaxing while bright and dynamic all at the same time.

Ingenue

k.d. lang

3/5

A great ballad album. I didn't know she had this, but she was a fine singer. I would have like more up tempo tracks.
