In A Silent Way
Miles Davis
I started trying to be an analytical listener. But quickly realized that was the wrong energy for this album. Once I was able to just kinda fall into the groove it was a fun listen. Although it felt like very little actual trumpet playing went down.

A fun listen. But I kept waiting for it to kick into high gear. But overall a very strong groove. More instrumental then I expected. I think Hit It and Quit It, was my favorite song.

That's The Way Of The World
Earth, Wind & Fire
There is something really fun, about a large collection of truly excellent musicians. They have their vibe down 100%. The bass work is great in particular. And they are confident in who they are, and it rules. The album starts with what most millennials know as "the Superbad song". The album slows down a bit in the later tracks. But overall, I loved it.

The Marshall Mathers LP
Eminem
The man earned his crown as king of the angry white boys, and he proves it here. Some of the song go on a little too long for my taste. It also made me wonder, how he would have been with out all the homophobia. Because it's very prominent. I don't think he hates gay people or anything. But my God does he use it as an insult and in demeaning ways. Makes you wonder what he would have been like without it. I don't really care for the skits. But overall a good listen. I think Berserk is my favorite (big surprise there lol)

Seventeen Seconds
The Cure
The band does a great job of setting vibe. It makes total sense why this is classic Goth/wanna be vampire energy. The instrumentals could be really cool. But the vocals did nothing for me personally. Overall, this albums not for me.

Not exactly my jam, but a good listen. If I need a melancholy album, this would be a good pick. I had a album from The Cure yesterday. To me this album fills kind of that same role, but I prefer this instead. A little more energy which was cool. But I probably won't listen again.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs
Marty Robbins
I loved this album. I think it's a masterclass in story telling. The music is pretty simple, but the lyrics are unreal. I felt completely engrained in each story told. It's wild how many people are shot and killed in these songs. It has to be over 70 bodies, just unreal. Songs about being hung for crimes are haunting in the best kind of way. I don't typically like country music, but the album is a gem.
El Paso is wild. It's on the album twice, the full version is 19 seconds longer. If it was important enough to be on the album twice....why not just have the "full version" to begin with.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!
Frank Sinatra
I get why to certain people Frank Sinatra is the epitome of cool. His generally smooth but also strong voice play so well, against the backing band, where the horns can strike like lightning. The song Anything Goes makes me think, one like at Cardi B would have given Frank a stroke. Would listen to some songs again
