Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

All Ratings

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley

Blue Suede Shoes strong rocking up-tempo tune - I guess the kids would call it a 'banger'. Very charming vocals in the rest of the songs, which gives them a lot of life, but would feel out of place in the "clean' music of today. I doubt the rest of the songs can stand up to much of a relisten.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast

Frustrating opening number with 'Speakerboxx'. Immediately sounds very reminiscent of much newer music - as in, they sound influential, but I really don't like that influence. There's some jazziness to it, though, that might be a bit charming? First impression of the first single, GhettoMusick, is that it is horrible. The genre is alienating to me.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin

A couple of stand-out songs, but mostly 'meh'.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones

Tidal by Fiona Apple

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.

Imagine by John Lennon

This Is Hardcore by Pulp

Untitled (Black Is) by SAULT

Live At The Harlem Square Club by Sam Cooke

I'm a bit unsure how to rate it. I don't dislike anything on the album, but there is nothing that stands out. A high 2?

Guero by Beck

Mothership Connection by Parliament

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies

Scum by Napalm Death

My Generation by The Who

São Paulo Confessions by Suba

Background music; interesting enough, but no really distinct song. A big 2.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins

The album works well at setting up a mood, but there are no stand out songs. A big 2.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band

Double Nickels On The Dime by Minutemen

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead

I've had enough of these purposeless jamming sessions. You would have to take up smoking week to enjoy this.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle by Bill Callahan

Completely pointless country-folk singer/songwriter, that's all too reminiscent of the pointless country-folk singer/songwriter stuff from the sixties.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio

Since I have no idea how to judge jazz, the rating is a little arbitrary. Feels like a 2 or 3 to me; nothing special, but I don't hate it.
