Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise

Starts and ends boring with a strong middle. This album's greatest weakness is its length. Whether a song is good or bad it goes on too long. This is background IDM music with some Dub flair. The drumming and dub are well done at points. The electronic parts I find boring, but the songs Wilmot and Tow Truck are dynamic and fun. I would have given it 3 stars if it were half its length.

So by Peter Gabriel

80s Pop, not my speed, ok for what it is

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
May 10 2024

On one hand Led Zeppelin is a competent blues rock band singing about sex with crunchy guitar riffs. On the other hand, they're myth and fantasy lyrics with English folk. When the latter is mixed with the former the band has originality, without it they are quite overrated. This album is Led Zeppelin still firmly entrenched in their blues side. For the white audience of the time, and probably much of the audience now, such a competent rendition of the former probably blew away many. As someone who loves the blues, I find the band good but a little too smug and lacking heart. If you want deeper expression the likes of Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Bukka White, and many other classic blues artists are better choices. This band follows in the footsteps of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, where a masculine posturing and attitude is front and center, throwing other emotions away in the process. Their music is higher production than Wolf, but when he goes long and indulgent he is genuine. For an example listen to Wolf's Tell Me What I've Done live at Cambridge Ma. 1966. It's on YouTube at the time of this post. What separates Zeppelin from the blues classics is their rough rock sound that crunches along thickly and the band's flashiness mixed with their solidly structured music. It is sure to attract people more attuned to rock due to the 'heavy' sound of its time, but it isn't as mind-blowing to blues lovers because while musically competent, it lacks a certain emotional oomph next to the greats of the genre they take from. The small peeks into their fantasy side in the track Ramble On is therefore the highlight for me.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
May 13 2024

Not too into this style but the album isn't bad. Enjoyed the funk bits like in the songs Shining Star and Happy Feelin'. Would never listen on my own time but fine with leaving it on.

Unappealing mix of thin 80s Pop instrumentation, detached robotic sound, and corny emotional content.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
May 20 2024

Both a good album of you like cheesy sex funk and if you want something to laugh at. The music is so cheesy, but so much passion is put into it you can't help but both laugh at it and like it. Secrets is a song about a woman's mysterious sexual techniques, yet with it's food metaphors it sounds like its also a song about Colonel Sander's secret chicken recipe. Stand Up is straight sex funk number of the album, but the rest of the songs are romantic in nature. The final song is a dud, combining religious music with usual romance and comes off like a smarmy preacher trying to make money.
