Electric Warrior
T. Rex
Solid album, loved the 70s sound especially the production with the horns, guitars and full sound from the guitars etc. Some songs felt very samey but clearly the album had a cohesive sound. Love Bring It On but haven't saved any other songs so give it a pass Rating.

Love when doves cry and thought the rest of the album was a vibe but wasn't obsessed. The artistry in the music is obvious!

Red Rain - love the drums and synths. good background song for driving or studying. Bit too repetitive for me.
Sledgehammer - A classicccc. Don't we all want a good sledgehammering sometimes. Also the music video is trippy af.
Don't Give Up - low key moody song, love the girls voice but it's too slow for me. Cool baseline at the end.
That Voice Again - cool hihats and drumming on this one. Like how it builds up to the chorus.
Mercy Street - very atmospheric, I liked the flutes and jungle/island sound.
Big Time - very 80s Duran Duran. It's ok
We Do What We Are Told - OK weird interlude
This Is The Picture - excellent snow, birds flying, pictures of people...right
In Your Eyes - omg he sings this song!? So good, it's like Africa by Toto 2.0
Giving it a 3 even though I did find another song I added to my favourites because the slower songs were way to repetitive and really testing me not to skip them lol

A very strange and interesting musical trip. Definitely felt like an acid trip. I am glad I listened to it. I liked the more chill songs like little umbrellas and peaches en regalia. Other songs are a bit too full on for me.

I love David Bowie so I loved the production on this album. It is actually quite whimsical I thought. Some songs were meh especially the slower ones but I loved Wagon Wheel, Hangin' Around and New York Phone Conversations.
New York Phone Conversations sounds so much like it belongs in a musical.

DJ Shadow
One of the most unique and interesting listening experiences. I think I would play this again while working, not every song but majority of them definitely need multiple listens. Just because of the ambience and complexity of the sampling I have to give it a 4.

The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
Except for Money I haven't heard the music off this album even though I knew of it. I actually really enjoyed listening to the first half up till Money. There is definitely an other worldly feel to it. Time and On the Run remind me of Tron and I wouldn't be surprised if Daft Punk drew inspiration from it.

I listened to only the first disc, this album is a lot of music! I loved the classic orchestration the big band feel and of course Ella's beautiful voice but definitely need to be in the mood to listen to the whole thing and unfortunately I wasn't this time. One day I will get through it.
