Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

Classic Neil young

Metallica

3/5

The transition album, I definitely like the albums before it better but you get old and you can’t play hard anymore so you make an album like this show. You can still play hard but you’re slowing down. Metallica was never my favorite band, but they’re good. I saw the tour for this album they put on an impressive show.

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

2/5

Just ok

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

5/5

Oh Mariah! Crush!

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

Cream, a supergroup, probably the first super group of modern music. Couple of hits and an album lacking cohesive sound. Even super groups need one over powering personality that drives everything. I don’t think Cream had that. Hits sure, good album no.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Nice listen

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

Distortion just how I like it!
