Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Full throated Cave. The Seeds are in their Sunday best. None of the songs got to me yet. Worth revisiting.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

5/5

Neil Young made better CSNY records without CSN. Masterpiece, got the singer songwriter 70s rolling, downhill.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

Tracy is a voice. Too beautiful for my normal rotation. Fantastic debut album. Can be one note at times. But she did what she was doing. Classic.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

4/5

This is how Deep Purple is meant to be heard, live. If you are new to the band, start here. If you are into guitar riffs, look bo further.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

And the Lord said let there be psychedelic blues rock. Classic, top shelf piece of art from the strange brew that brought the blues to white people. Jack Bruce is a beast, of course all three are beasts. Extremely British. Arguably colonial in nature.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

Historically important, but didn't have to be. The Pixies would be better if Kim Deal wrote most of their songs.

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

Decent record. One incredible classic and some other good songs.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

Bossa Nova anyone? Laid back, atmospheric, and groovy. It's like funk for runway models with no ass to shake, just a gentle bouncing swing through a cafe at dusk. Singular achievement. Total masterpiece fusing jazz and bossa nova. Just short of my heavy rotation because I'm not that chill.

Rising Above Bedlam

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

3/5

Great atmosphere record. Tribal EDM groove. Nice listen. Revist

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

Evolutionary Fugees. Good soul, probably good hip hop? Good sound, likely not for me. May revisit sometime.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

As good as Christmas music gets.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

4/5

Beautiful, subtle album. Peter Gabriel meets Bjorn. Pat Benatar uptown cousin. Recommend

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

3/5

This record has funky beats and a picture to paint. Good album I never would have found on my own. 80s hip hop was fun.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

The Stones finally figure out American music and kill the 60s all at once. Transcendent rock record. 11/10.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Fantastic album by one of the purest rock acts. Fogerty was a mad, frantic genius. Great album, not all time transcendent work of art. I'd go 4.5 if that was a thing.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

This is the goods. Singular record that would have begun a new genre if humanity was worthy of it. Flawless masterpieces aren't always that entertaining or fun. At Paul's Boutique art, fun, and innovation flow like wine.

Da Capo

Love

2/5

Average drippy hippy folk rock sap. Totally fine and forgettable.

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

3/5

Interesting listen. Smooth folk decorated with psychedelic noise. Will revisit.

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

3/5

Upbeat and positive. Excellent beats. Kinda smart and clever. Otherwise not particularly memorable. Remember to revisit.
