All Directions
The Temptations
Not my kind of music typically but come on it’s the Temptations. They blend funk and soul and even gospel so well, and this album in particular has almost a grandiose quality to it, where it uses all these different instruments almost like an orchestra. I would say it’s mid loaded, didn’t love the first song or second to last song, but it has the 12 minute version of papa was a rolling stone so it’s a 4/5 minimum

Repeater
Fugazi
I really really dislike punk music, however this album did start to win me over by the end of it. I listened to Repeater & 3 songs, just for posterities sake. I do kind of find the lead singers pronunciation grating, just cause he has that kind of punk pronunciation. Anyways as far as punk albums go I don’t mind this, and I’ve gotta respect Fugazi for being a super important influence for the indie scene. The bass lines are also incredible.

Odelay
Beck
Unfortunately I have never liked Beck even though I am a guitarist and probably should be a big fan of him, and this album just kinda reinforced that. There would be these great beats and great bass lines, but he seems obsessed with squeals and high treble dissonance that just takes me clean out of the song. Also he sings like he’s bored and then I’m bored listening. I’m sorry.

Ready To Die
The Notorious B.I.G.
Top 10 rap album ever probably. I’ve of course heard songs off of this album but listening to it all in one sitting made me feel like it’s actually a bit more intimate than I realized. Kind of a chronicle of Biggies life, at least is how I took it. 5 stars
