Mothership Connection
Parliament
I'm not sure I've ever listened to an entire funk album. I liked the album cover with the afro futurism vibe from the outset.
Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication sounds like gears and lasers in the background, definitely getting a space vibe on this track. Are they constructing some robots back there?
'Give up the funk' is the one I've heard before on the radio, it's ok but it seems boring compared to some of the others from the album, but it's still catchy. This is the one that gets stuck in your head after listening.
My favorites are 'Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples' and 'Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication'.
I keep thinking, 'how are they making this sound', at certain points(in a good way), but then there is also a nice full band with an identifyable sax and piano. I really enjoyed listening to this album a few times today, but I'm not sure how much I'll go back to it. It's unique and has a fun silly theatrical vibe and I can see why it's on the list. You can feel the joy here.
3.5/5

When I listen to this album I want to be sitting in my car watching the snow slowly drift down. I get a feeling of floating from the entire album.
Idioteque is my favorite on this album.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Beatles
I do find the Beatles to be pleasant but they just donβt resonate with me much here. The album doesnβt make me feel much.
This is supposedly their attempt to move from boy band(with all girl/woman) fans to βartisticβ. I guess it worked in terms of critical review but it sort of just feels like they stole some stuff from India and did some drugs.
Maybe Iβm missing the historical significance because I wasnβt alive when it happened.

- A day in the life

- Lovely Rita

The White Album
Beatles
It's much more weird and experimental(almost prog rock) than the vision I had in my head of what the Beatles are (mostly based on the greatest hits).
I would agree with Frankie that there isn't alot of genuine emotion in most these songs; but to me some are pleasant or fun to listen to.
An exception for me is 'while my guitar gently weeps' which I think is a beautiful song. Happiness is a warm gun also has a satisfying arch/cresendo when it gets to the title stanza for me.
It could have been 8 songs IMO. but i like this one more than Sargent pepper.

Randy Newman
This is a difficult one to review. At first I thought it was overtly racist, but I do believe it's a critique of racism, after reading the lyrics. Still a white person saying the n word makes me uncomfortable, even if he's actually pointing out how racist both northern's and southerners were.
I saw someone describe this as dinner party music that will never be played at a dinner party because it will offend the dinner party. It's pretty accurate. I'm not typically seeking out that vibe. I like the vocals, I like the instrumentation ok. Has a new orlean's meets disney vibe lol. But I don't think satire works well in music. It doesn't come across as easy as in other mediums.
