The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

Piano playing was very nice and some good songs, but overall felt pretty samey. Probably wouldn't listen again.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

1/5

This is music for other people.

Abraxas

Santana

2/5

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

Crazy that they sampled Kendrick on track 1! How did they go into the future like that? Lots of great stuff here but some not so great stuff too.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Had potential to be a 4 but just slightly too samey for me. Lots of good songs though

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Not at the level of TPAB but an excellent album with a lot of good music. Probably one too many skits but I think they do add to the overall vibe of the album.

Traffic

2/5

Probably incredibly forward thinking at the time and I like the idea but entirely forgettable for me.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

2/5

Quite a nothing album. Happy feeling is a certified banger though.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

2/5

Jesus wept.

All Directions

The Temptations

2/5

Nothing really interesting here.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

This is my favourite album. My girlfriend hates it. Looking at other reviews it's definitely polarising!

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Loved the really DIY sounding production - everything was better when it wasn't clean.

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Joe Ely

1/5

Why did I have to hear this before I die?

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

2/5

Neither ambient or something to pay attention to. Surely influential but not for me.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Definitely a 3½, plenty of lovely songs, second half is a bit of a miss for me. Sorry, gotta go seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night.

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

5/5

Blown away by this one. Wasn't expecting much but songs I'm excited to hear again!

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

He's good on the guitar thing but the songs aren't that good.

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

2/5

Not bad but I would never listen to this again.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

3/5

Pretty middle of the road, wore its influences on its sleeve

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Rikki Don't Lose That Number is a huge tune and the rest had something going for it but I didn't save much!

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

4/5

Basement Jaxx have been the soundtrack to a lot of my life. The maximalist production definitely isn't for everyone, but it suits me to a T. Could listen to every track on repeat except "U Can't Stop Me" and "Same Old Show"

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

Better than I'd expected!

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

4/5

A Seat at the Table

Solange

3/5

Cranes in the Sky is a 10/10.
