Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

2/5

best track is changes, lol 1 check

Transformer

Lou Reed

2/5

✅ could see this growing on me a lil, a more grown up Lou Reed than Velvet Underground and Nico, without Cale to push him into weird shit and with Bowie around to push him towards pop.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

2/5

✅ took the whispering into the mic thing from gilberto and wrote poetry in english. lacks the melodic appeal of joni mitchell, but charming in his own right.

Achtung Baby

2/5

✅ love is blindness is a good song¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

✅✅✅ not in my edition of the book. but an absolute classic. verses from Andre 3000 and Earl Sweatshirt are highlights. always worth a revisit.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

2/5

✅ pleasant enough listen, nothing really grabs me and it feels like a long time to listen to the same, albeit very pleasant, vocal harmonies

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

✅✅ you can tell why rumors is the famous album. Sisters of the Moon is a hell of an end to disk one though. It's hard to earn a double album and im not sure Fleetwood Mac do here, but it's worth revisiting.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

3/5

✅✅ another album that isn't in my edition of the book. feels like music that ill come back to punk-ish with electronic squealing to replace some riffs. weird and fun, while also taking itself seriously.

Forever Changes

Love

2/5

✅ yup, it's from the 60's. free love!

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

2/5

✅

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

4/5

✅✅✅ fun noisy, incredible guitars, j mascis is one of the best guitarists alive

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

3/5

✅✅ great songs, kinda weird flow as an album. but uncomfortable urge is an ABSOLUTE bop

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

✅ strong one check, almost two but realistically don't see myself coming back to this one. some really poignant moments to be sure, very "dark side of the 'american dream'

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

2/5

✅ some really cool sounds that get bogged down by the uninterested psychedelic wandering. can hear how it helps lead to shoegaze but none of the pop appeal of that genre.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

3/5

✅✅ album is fun as hell. low key corny, but they've got enough charisma to power through that corniness. cool beats tho, makes me wanna listen to Tribe.

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

2/5

best song is the first track, which is a cover. cool sound, songwriting is lacking

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

✅✅ while having a fair amount of influence from Bowie, this feels distinctly punk in a way that Bowie at his most confrontational never did. It still feels fresh, the vocals in parts almost sound like something from the aughts. wildly ahead of its time. might bump to ✅✅✅ with time.

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

3/5

✅✅ what a gorgeous voice. went back and listened a second time. don't see it going three check, but immediately listened a second time.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

2/5

✅ can really hear that technology caught up to the sound prince was trying to make. the space on this recording, the production in general is fabulous. hard to earn a double album and this one wanders around a fair amount. some cool tracks, but not a solid sense of where it's going. feels like it cooked a little too long.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

2/5

✅ not in my edition. it's like if linkin park were bad.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

2/5

✅

Born To Run
