The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

I like the way Track B started. The middle was too frenetic/cacophonous for my taste, but ended well. I like the blend of styles in Mode D: jazz, flamenco, back to jazz, and then on to an almost cabaret style. Track C reminded me of a smoky jazz club in the 60s. Probably my favorite track. Overall, I liked some of this album but each song got too loud and frenetic. There are only 4 tracks and each one did this. Seems overdone for my taste.

War

5/5

One of my favorite U2 albums! I Will Follow is probably my favorite U2 song. Or maybe Sunday Bloody Sunday. Or perhaps, Two Hearts!…It’s hard to choose!

It was like a bad mix of David Bowie and Queen, resulting in music that sounded like bad/bizarre show tunes.
