Dust
Screaming TreesThe first half of this album was not my cup of tea as it sounded like generic (albeit skillful) grunge, but starting with "Sworn and Broken," the remaining songs stood out more with varying tempos, melodies, and instrumentation. My other favorites were "Witness" and "Gospel Plow."

Getz/Gilberto
Stan GetzI'm no jazz/bossa nova aficionado, but most of this album sounds like the same song. It's objectively good, but it's not an album that I'm likely to return to often.

Forever Changes
LoveI have to be in a certain mood for the weird vibe that 60s music often gives off, but this album was a bit of a surprise. Common elements of that era's musical trends are there: folksy acoustic guitar, string arrangements, and some baroque-ness, but it's all tastefully blended in a way where none of those elements are overbearing or off-putting. I didn't feel transported to Haight-Ashbury, or sense the oncoming tsunami of a Spector production, or like I'm halfway inside some 17th century music hall. Instead, this album manages to feel from the era but unique in its production. I've never (knowingly) heard the band Love before, but after reading the Wiki blurb for the album, I'm curious to listen to the band's earlier albums to see how their sound developed.

GermsIts saving grace is that most songs are under 2 minutes long. I reserve 1-star reviews for those rare entries that beg the question "what is this album even doing on this list?" I understand this one has some kind of significance as the "first full-length hardcore punk album," so 2/5 stars it is.
