Live At Leeds by The Who
Feb 24 2024

An iconic progressive rock band but this was not one of their better album releases. Their studio recordings coming later were much stronger.

Being There by Wilco
Feb 25 2024

Nothing special here.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Feb 29 2024
The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Mar 02 2024

Ray Charles was truly a genius. Some great songs here, but unfortunately also some very repetitive backing orchestra arrangements.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Mar 07 2024

The final track Change is a masterpiece. Too bad it took 12 songs to get there…

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Mar 08 2024

A couple of marginal hits in the mix, but the rest is aimless. Barely enough decent material for a single album much less the double release.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Mar 13 2024

Feels fresh and new with much potential.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 18 2024

Not even a little bit…

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Mar 22 2024
Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 23 2024

A mesh of music traditions and cultures from South Africa to the southern United States, this album was daring, unique and groundbreaking. Truly great music doesn’t just entertain us; it tells a story and creates awareness. Five “diamonds”.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Mar 25 2024

Not Bad, just average.

Tapestry by Carole King
Mar 26 2024

Beautiful album

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Mar 27 2024

Next!

2112 by Rush
Mar 28 2024

just 1

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Mar 29 2024

Boring…
