Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

1/5

I couldn’t wait for this to be over. I get that he’s a talented musician but I don’t understand why this would be a top 1000 album.

Great, classic songs. I had no idea they were all from the same album. Maybe it’s not my style but I just didn’t think it was super interesting though.

I was surprised at how much I liked this album.

Stupid Girl is an extremely weak point in the album, but it’s otherwise solid.

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

3/5

4/5

I knew Bjork had a band called the Sugarcubes before her solo work but I never tried to find the album to listen. I now realize my mistake.

Vocal stylings are certainly dated, but instrumentals are less so. Not my style but not too bad.

Great, it’s a classic I hadn’t yet heard.

4/5

Tommy

Almost a 4 for me.

Dummy

3/5

Classic in my mind. Almost a 4 star, but it’s more of a “listen to on occasion” album rather than an “on repeat” album.

Django Django

4/5

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/5

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Probably my favorite Johnny Cash album. Certainly better than Live at San Quentin. It’s funny though that early on the bleep “shit” but a later song about going on a cocaine bender and murdering his woman is A-ok.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

Classic. And maybe underrated?
