Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

A few bangers, very groovy. knopfler really shines here. the issue is the songwriting (outside of a few songs) doesn't do it for me all the time. also a tad too low-energy (which could be influenced by mood on my end when i listened.) biggest disappointment, though, was that the singles were the best songs on the album

Elvis Presley

3/5

groovy, too lovey dovey

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

a classic!!

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

3/5

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

5/5

one day i will find the energy to write a proper review--but for now i'll say simply that biggie was a complex man who (metaphorically) poured himself onto his page. i know he didn't really write raps and is a freak that was able to work out his poetry in his head, but this album goes to many dark places and is beautifully and masterfully performed. rip

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

4/5

apart from the ephebophilia, this album explores interesting avenues sonically (i don't know french so i can't really critique the songwriting) and is a really nice listen. again, forgetting about the lyrics, it feels artful yet fitting to listen to drinking a glass of wine or something.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

5/5

I can't believe I haven't heard this before. What an amazing sound that no doubt lays the foundation for modern indie but was also very much a product of its time: 80s dream/ambient pop full of wavy, dreamy rhythms. Loved it!!

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

5/5

cmon son that's a classic joint. only problem is it's a little too poppy. 4.5 stars. definitely listen to their earlier work for perfect works of art and music!

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Black Sabbath

5/5

this album is simply perfection

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

5/5

for folks that loved this, loveless is generally regarded as their best album. this album is such a beautiful entry into the shoegaze genre with some minor hiccups in production quality.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

4/5

smooth, groovy, accessible jazz. well done, fun live album

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

Os Mutantes

3/5

an interesting album that ultimately falls flat for me personally. but, in the context of the time i could see myself really digging them maybe with a few more listens? they're not too dissimilar to bands i'm familiar with and love from this era of alt/experimental rock

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

2/5

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

3/5

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

probably my second favorite from steely dan!! this or aja
