The ArchAndroid
Janelle Monáe
Sounds a lot like ambient store music, or restaurant music, or music that would go in a big box office movie that I don’t want to see. Vocals are beautiful, tonally, some fun guitar riffs in the background but I have no idea of the structure of any of these songs are and I find that I just want to skip to the next song/turn it off. There are a lot of different styles blended in and I think that to me, is very overwhelming.

Love this album. I enjoy it even more as I’ve gotten older. David Gilmour just ripping that strat. So good.

Little Richard
Lots of familiar songs, upbeat, good vocals. Very blues/early rock and roll. Can definitely hear what the Beatles were influenced by.

Not a big Bowie fan, love the song heroes though. The instrumental tracks were strange

Music From Big Pink
The Band
I like this, listened to it a couple of times but not my favorite. I’d give it 3.5 stars if I could I think. Seems to be a pretty heavy album lyric wise, with more traditional, late 60s “hippie” type Americana, despite them being Canadian. Which isn’t always my favorite genre.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I suspect this is actually beautiful and makes you feel, but I simply cannot listen to an album where every album is this depressing and somber. The instrumental’s are very ethereal and well mixed, the lyrics are poetry but I’m having a very hard time listening to something so bleak, especially without being in the mood. I struggle to rate something like this because musical and lyrically It seems exceptional but my personal taste is interfering in my ability to enjoy it.

Heartbreaker
Ryan Adams
Not my cup of tea. Gave me blood on the tracks vibes, which I love, but I kept thinking I’d rather listen to Dylan. Well written lyrics, beautiful vocals but was not in the mood for a sad/slow album. Has potential but just to listen for 24 hours for the first time I didn’t resonate with me.

Sort of bland, some nice beats/instrumentals but nothing stuck out to me, nothing particularly catchy. Vocals, while being sung by different vocalists were mostly forgettable, nothing really drawing me and keeping me engaged.
