American IV: The Man Comes Around
Johnny Cash
I enjoy the way this album is able to recontextualize covers. It makes me wish I had a stronger appreciation for the originals.
Give my love to rose and Bridge over Troubled Water made me cry at 10am so thats pretty cool

Blondie
Meh. Nostalgic, and I could see it was occasionally crunchy / more than just straightforward rock, but not handsome enough to tempt me

Amy Winehouse
fun! reminded me of Eloise. Musically a nice mix of jazz / neo-soul that feels accessible -- really great to listen to. Lyrically, often snarky and judgemental.
October Song was esp fun, I like lullaby of birdland

To Pimp A Butterfly
Kendrick Lamar
Such a great album. ofc the tracks I love continue to be amazing, but I was kinda shocked by how great some of the other tracks like Hood Politics and i are. One of those albums that's just so cohesive and strong as a unit.

Musically, I think this is supposed to be adventurous (incorporating reggae / experimental elements) but it just doesn't feel like that in 2024.
Lyrically, I wasnt a fan -- anti-establishment in the most literal, obvious way, and lacking humanity imo.

James Brown Live At The Apollo
James Brown
I kind of liked it. This entire process is making me realize how much vocal mixing / balance matters to me -- the vocals are obviously the main thing here, but I don't really particularly love them. The band sounds amazing but they're constantly covered

I actually really enjoyed this. Experimental in a very tasteful way, almost whimsical. Hard to keep myself from hopping along

Keith Jarrett
didn't do much for me. good piano playing but felt kind of kitschily classical almost. I think I'd definitely like it more on a relisten though

I liked it! more rhythmically interesting than London Calling IMO. it's definitely a product of its time
