The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

I accidentally listened to the wall because I wanted to watch the movie version to have my first listen. I then listened to this over the wizard of oz, which was fun. I don't entirely get the hype. It's good music. That's for sure. But it's also just a vague anti-government message that can seemingly be applied to any ideology.

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

Overall this album is just super clean. The drums, guitars, basses, keyboards, are just so coherent - it's like a conversation of instruments. It's soft at times, a little oldie, but always keeps pace enough to keep you engaged, while having vocals that are eccentric, poppy, and a bit punk, as well as a leeeetle krautrock in the psychedelic repetitive kind of way. Clearly an inspiration for the Strokes. Happy I looked them up. Gave me a little context on late 70's rock as it is transitioning and experimenting.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

2/5

NGL I was bopping out about the first third of this album because it's kinda fun and the beats are good, if overdone at times as is typical of Kanye. But then you keep listening and it's just dumb, vaguely offensive, Jesusy drivel. There was one creative line in Family Business: African American Express It's also cheesy and like so dumb you have to know you're being dumb several times, which I didn't know was also true of his old stuff. Also cool how Work out for me by J Cole sampled this

4/5

This is my dad's music. Always hated it, then I listened to it after a hard day of work and it soothed the shit out of my soul. I'm listening again as I write this.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

Pretty nice vibes, but the recording was jumping all over in sound level

Enjoyable bluesey music

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

5/5

Extremely perfectly made. Harmonies are excellent. I see where the influence goes from fleetwood mac to thundercat.
