Van Halen

3/5

Familiar sounds. Mostly good.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Enjoyed this one.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

3/5

Amy's vocal talent was beyond question. As for the album, I enjoy a few of the selections, but overall I find the style somewhat affected after a while. For me this album will not be one I listen to in its entirety often.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

3/5

I mostly enjoyed this. Before listening again I would want to learn more about it so I could better appreciate it. I would find a translation of the Portuguese lyrics

Roots

Sepultura

3/5

I don't know how to appreciate this variety of metal.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

I didn't really enjoy this one. Perhaps I don't understand it enough to appreciate it, or perhaps it's just not my style.

Cornershop

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

I enjoyed this, but not as much as I thought I would. I think Ray is at his best on live recordings and possibly in some later material. And the jazzy side of this is harder for me to connect with.

5/5

I had never listened to this as an entire album before now. And I didn't know a few of the songs on it. It was fantastic.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Da Capo

Love

3/5

This was interesting. I'd never heard it before, and I don't think I'd heard of the group. Some of it was catchy.

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

2/5

I did not enjoy this. There's some real vocal talent on display, but the whole is weaker than the sum of its parts. Sometimes the album seems self-important.

Cross

2/5

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Difficult. A highly-praised and immensely popular album. It's well-done; some parts sound amazing. I don't foresee coming back to it very often, though.

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

I just don't care for this. It's well done, but I won't likely listen again.

Aqualung

3/5

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin

2/5

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

3/5

Mixed feelings here. Do I love it or hate it? Sometimes this is very weird. Sometimes the rock really hums. I might give Hawkwind another try. I'll vote in the middle for now.
