Dummy
Portishead
Worth a listen, definitely different vibe and really interesting possibly early sample based music. Stuck a very niche chord in my brain, but overall, a good experience.

Since I Left You
The Avalanches
Initial thoughts on the first song are very positive, love the vibe and the samples! Kind of busy with all the different samples, but still pleasant 2 songs in. Not LOVING it so far, but it's chill. Lots of repetitive samples, gets a little old. 6/33 songs in and I'm not sure it's worth finishing the album, but I will power through for the sake of listening to see if the experience changes. 10 songs in and the vibe changed a bit, little more chill, but still pretty repetitive. I like the song "Electricity." 21 songs in - Frontier Psychiatrist (Mario Caldato Jr's 85% Remix) is a good song, very catchy and fun. 26 songs in, not very enthused about the album as a whole. Riding it through to the end. Getting stranger at the end here. Overall I need to be in a very specific mood to listen to this kind of music. It is certainly not horrible, but wouldn't be my goto.

The Stone Roses
The Stone Roses
3 songs in and it's giving me an Oasis meets The Cure, meets The Beatles vibe that I really dig. It has me intrigued and wanting to listen more. After the first few songs I unfortunately kinda lost interest. The last 9 songs on the record just kinda meshed into one long mediocre song.

Parallel Lines
Blondie
Classic, Fun, Poppy music. Of course you have to love "One Way Or Another" and "Heart of GlasS" but there are several certified bops on this album that do make me want to bounce around. Definitely worth a listen all the way through to get a taste of some of the other catchy tunes like "Picture This" and "I Know But I Don't Know." Perhaps it is just the big drum parts and loud doubled and panned guitars, but the instrumentals in the aforementioned songs are remarkably progressive and punky whilst still feeling very classic blues/RnR/pop/surf-rock.

Hot Rats
Frank Zappa
I have to admit that I have never listened to Frank Zappa, but the instant I played the first song on the album, I was intrigued to say the least. I genuinely feel like I'm being taken on a musical journey. Love it so far and I'm only one song in - can't wait to keep listening. After listening to the rest, I did sincerely enjoy the album. Sounded great!

Chemtrails Over The Country Club
Lana Del Rey
I am not really a fan of Lana Del Ray - In my opinion her songs are very dry and boring and they all largely share the same sound/feel. I generally find her voice unappealing. The last couple songs on this album were a little catchy, but not really something that I would find myself listening to on any regular basis. Not my favorite.

Channel Orange
Frank Ocean
Easily one of my favorite albums of all time, and I don't think I'm alone on that. I can and will listen to this entire album until I am dead in the dirt. For me it is a bittersweet and nostalgic album that will forever have a special place in my heart. Listening to Frank Ocean is a cathartic experience and Channel Orange is one of those things that, for me, makes life worth living.

I had heard the name Peter Tosh before, but never could have named any music by them, let alone told you they were a musician being that I don't typically listen to Reggae music. However, that being said, I do genuinely enjoy Reggae, and I'm glad to add this to my library as it was a pleasurable listening experience.
