Sail Away
Randy NewmanHis voice is a little annoying, but the songs are absolute genius. You can't have everything. Political Science - prescient. It is a 5.

Frank
Amy WinehouseBack To Black is undeniably a really good album, even if it isn’t to everyone’s taste. Wonder why they gave me Frank? So far it’s ok, but honestly a 3 seems generous. Her adopted blaccent has always been very tough on my ears. Very boring album.

Dinosaur Jr.Enjoying it way more than I remember liking this album. The guitars are great - superb really. I like the songs. The lyrics are a bunch of old nonsense. That sort of, “meh, there are some words and vowels and it sounds like I’m saying something… good enough”.

Frank OceanNot liking this much. Very meta and surreal. Great singer, but a lot of the songs are very self indulgent. Sweet Life is an excellent song. Super Rich Kids is good. Pilot Jones is good. Crack Rock is on the nose and depressing, but not terrible. Pyramids is ok. Lost is ok. Think it needs to be a 2.

Stevie WonderLoved this album for decades. Love the whole trilogy so much. It has been quite a few years since I have listened to the whole album. It is so absurdly good. As many times as I have listened to it, it is still so fresh and jaw-droppingly good. The songs, the musicianship, the singing… good god…

Elton JohnThough it pains me to admit… very boring album and really crap lyrics. Tiny Dancer, great. Holiday Inn pretty good. All the Nasties, ok - sounds like a 70s Elvis song. Everything else - crap. Sorry. Never need to hear this again.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Lauryn HillBack when this came out it would have been such an enthusiastic 5. Teetered a lot, but the genius in it is just so strong a pull I’m not going to let the stars reflect the fact that the songs could very arguably be 25% shorter, but… it’s great.
