I understand that this album was groundbreaking in its time and place, and in my opinion the blending of electronic, rap, and reggae among other genres kind of works. However, this album is absolutely not to my taste and the vocals do almost nothing for me. 2.3 stars

I don’t normally listen to blues/jazz but this was an amazing live album. It must’ve been an absolute blast to see this live especially given that it was probably the first time a lot of white people heard blues. 4.0

Amazing live album. I love how it delivers to you a slice of history. I even watched several of the songs from the performance on YouTube and am blown away. Not a huge fan of the country twang by any means, but his vocals are perfection and very complimentary for this kind of music. 4.4 stars

I’m not sure what genre to classify this as. It was obviously heavily jazz influenced but I got a bit of a Yes vibe to some of the tracks as well coupled with blues/soul. Glad was a fun track, dug the jazz flute on Freedom Rider, the guitar and organ were fun all the way through. Pleasantly surprised! 3.5

Very repetitive songs and there isn’t a huge difference between the tracks. I think there is a very special place in music hell for songs that use the sound of kids in their tracks. I wanted to like this album way more than I did, and I think that is because of how dated it sounds. Oh did I mention it was repetitive? 2.1

The first three tracks sound like James Bond opening songs. And that’s not a bad thing! The vocals are beautiful and the music is interestingly weird and haunting. I really liked ‘Human’ and ‘Utopia’. The electro sound can definitely be interesting when paired with good vocals like this. 3.6 stars

Paranoid
Black Sabbath
This is easily both the best heavy metal album of all time and the most influential heavy metal album of all time. War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron Man are obviously beyond legendary tracks, but tracks like Electric Funeral still absolutely rip and I’m still surprised by how they got away with putting a mellow track like Planet Caravan between Paranoid and Iron Man while still maintaining a coherent sound. The music and vocals are top fucking tier coupled with the genre defining sound and aesthetic that kicked off a whole generation of metal. Not to mention the ironclad tearing down of pro-war sentiments. This is truly one of the most perfect albums of all time for me. 4.8 stars

Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
The album starts off on a really high note with Gimme Shelter which is an all timer for me. Unfortunately, it quickly loses most of its momentum and never really builds it back until You Can't Always Get What You Want on the very last track. I sincerely hated the country songs and a lot of their bluesy ones seem inauthentic and boring. The Stones are legendary, but I’m just not really a huge fan of most of their work. 3.4 stars leaning heavily on their two massive hits.

Too much of a good thing with the harmonies, make this album mostly sound dated and boring. California Dreamin’ is a fantastic song (take a moment to go listen to the Bobby Womack version) but there’s not much else here except a couple of other songs that sounded okay. Listening to this album made me want put on the Beach Boys or the early Beatles instead. I’m sure it was a little edgy for the time, but it seems very tame, repetitive, and milquetoast today. 2.5 stars
