Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen

Konnichiwa by Skepta

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington

Incredible jazz compositions. Charles Mingus gets it.

In Utero by Nirvana

A little slow, as a lot of The Beach Boys style can be. I appreciate it for the cultural impact it had but it is not my kind of music.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.

So by Peter Gabriel

Very nice jazzy rock album

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu

The first song was terrible but the album really blossomed after that. Decent punk album

OK Computer by Radiohead

As beloved as they are by the public, I cannot get into Radiohead without really needing to be in the right mood. This album has some definite highlights but it’s nothing I will be playing on repeat.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane

I’m not a fan of psych rock myself but this album had a few good, recognizable tracks

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers

Rocks by Aerosmith

3.5 stars. It’s fun for parties but I wouldn’t give it more of a serious listen over other music that I enjoy more.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce

Very chill album, reminded me of Beck in the best ways

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple

3.5, nice soft album

Kenya by Machito

Simply fantastic Latin jazz album!

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney

Moon Safari by Air

Love Air and this album was full of wonderful music.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails

I can definitely understand the cultural impact of this album, and think I may have enjoyed it more as an angsty teenager. Some of the songs found me waiting for the album to be over, but others like Piggy and The Becoming were really interesting and I enjoyed them quite a bit. Of course, Closer, being the single from the album, was one that I already knew and enjoyed.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead

Surprisingly dull. I expected more from the Grateful Dead, tbh!

Pearl by Janis Joplin

3.5 stars, I started appreciating it more in the second half of the album.
