The Joshua Tree
U2
Rough start since I generally don’t like U2.
-Vibin’ with Where the Streets Have No Name
-I already knew and liked I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For and With or Without You
-Losing me with Bullet the Blue Sky
-Bringing me back with Running to Stand Still
-Not feeling Red Hill Mining Town through Mothers of the disappeared
Strong start to the album, but overall just ok. —> 3.5 stars

Kind Of Blue
Miles Davis
My jazz background is in La La Land and Soul, so don’t come for me.
-Freddie Freeloader got them Charlie Brown vibes.
-Blue in Green: *turns up collar of trench coat, lights cigarette, and walks out into the seedy streets of 1930s New York*
-Flamenco Sketches: for sippin’ whiskey with a dame who’s no good for you
Okay I like it, Picasso - 4 stars

Ill Communication
Beastie Boys
God, I can’t stand the Beastie Boys.
-Get it Together isn’t so bad, but I think it’s because someone else is on the track.
-Sabrosa is funky, I dig it.
I like the music on some of these tracks, but I can’t handle the vocals. This album ain’t for me. 2.5 Stars

Aqualung
Jethro Tull
Don’t think I’ve ever heard their music before.
-I’m feeling Mother Goose 🪿
- My God: Heck yeah brother, shred that flute
I like the mix of flute/folk style with classic rock. Not something I’d normally listen to, but it probably does deserve another listen at some point. - 3.5 Stars

Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
This album feels a little bit like a bait and switch. Gimme Shelter goes so hard, then it’s just kind of ok for the majority of the album, and then it picks back up at the end with You Can’t Always Get What You Want. Maybe I’d appreciate it more with another listen. 3.5 Stars

Golden Hour
Kacey Musgraves
A name I know, but don’t think I’ve listened to before.
Diggin: Love is a Wild Thing, Space Cowboy, Happy & Sad, and Velvet Elvis
I like her voice and I always love a good banjo. I can see myself liking the album more with another listen. 3.5 stars, but I’ll give it a 4 on here for the future potential

Now I Got Worry
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Not overly optimistic on my chances of liking this album, but I will listen nonetheless.
-not the screaming…
-not a huge fan of the vocals, but I do like the music
-love all of me and chicken dog aren’t so bad
-the vocals are either improving or growing on me
- they’re losing me again
-Why is this thing so long?? I thought i was nearing the end and i’m only halfway through?
-it would seem i was listening to bonus tracks? Idk.
This wasn’t great. 1.5 stars

Fire Of Love
The Gun Club
I lost my notes for this but I did *not* enjoy this. I think I said something about it being to samey and I didn’t like the guys voice. 1 star.

We listened in the car and technically I have a few songs left to listen to, but it was just ok for me. She does have a nice voice. 3 stars.

Viva Hate
Morrissey
Yes yes, I like this. Will listen again fo sho. 4 stars.
Apparently I wasn’t paying attention during the song about not wanting immigrants in the UK. So while I enjoyed the sound of this album and some of the songs, I have to reduce my rating. 2 Stars.

I like Michael Kiwanuka’s voice and guitar in a lot of these. You Ain’t the Problem, I’ve Been Dazed, and Hero were the standouts to me. 4 stars.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Red Hot Chili Peppers
RHCP is hit or miss for me and the majority of this album is a miss. I like the guitar and some of the vocals in I Could Have Lied, but it’s just ok. I can't express how much I hate Suck My Kiss and Give it Away. Under the Bridge is good, but not enough to save this album. 1 Star.
