Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
It's a good blues sound, I do like the harmonica on it. I don't super dig the country blues style but I do like several tracks. The vibraphone on Monkey Man is great. The ending being You Can't Always Get What You Want is good. It is trying to be a big climatic song to end the album and I think it achieves it. I did not like the choir at the beginning of the track though. Overall, blues and gospel sound good just not really my thing

Tidal
Fiona Apple
I love Fiona's voice, the instruments are all really cool sounds. I especially like the piano/guitar on tracks like Criminal and Carrion. It's hard not to compare this album to Bjork's work around this time and while the similarity is there with the arrangements but where they differ is how the vocals is treated. I do like Fiona's more gentle voice on the more subdued tracks on this album versus if the tracks were more aggressive. I think the grooves that are created in tracks like Shadowboxer are really good

James Brown Live At The Apollo
James Brown
I don't normally like live albums but this is something special. The way the crowd screams is almost incorporated into the songs. It sounds like it's own instrument that James Brown uses. I like how this feels like I am a fly at the wall of a very special performance. I love the horn section. I love Brown's vocals that always feel as though they are reaching directly out the listener. The Instrumental Bridges are really cool with how they attempt to go from one song to another and each feels like they stick the landing

Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Red Hot Chili Peppers
This album feels too long, there are several songs that I think could have been cut shorter/removed. It also doesn't help that I only like the Red Hot Chili Peppers' hits. The sound overall is fine, its going for a rap/funk rock. Most of the time I just dislike how the main vocalist sounds on tracks like If You Have To Ask. I prefer the softer less heavy tracks like I Could Have Lied, Breaking the Girl, and Under the Bridge

Fear Of Music
Talking Heads
I feel as though I'm familiar with all the tools that the Talking Heads use to construct all of the music. For example I can hear the rock and disco influences that they have. The singer's voice gets on the border of what is annoying and what is stylistically fine. Overall, I find the album fine.

Dusty In Memphis
Dusty Springfield
I love the instruments from the spacious guitar licks on Don't Forget About Me to the orchestra sounds on I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore. I enjoy Dusty's voice, there is something that feels really nice hearing it. I think everything comes together to make a really good album.

My Generation
The Who
Overall, I think this album is fine, not much stands out outside of My Generation being the obvious hit

Graceland

I like the African influences on songs like Homeless. The accordian is oddly pleasant. Overall, I did really like this album.

Another Green World
Brian Eno
I love the use of vocals, their limited use really makes them stick out and it was a cool effect

1984
Van Halen
I liked the vocals and the guitars quite a bit. I think the intro going from a motorcycle into a floor tom fill on Hot for Teacher is really cool
