Not quite my tempo… unfortunately an all around snooze fest. I can appreciate what he may have done for the genre but me listening to it today was tough to get through. INCREDIBLE background music tho. 3/10 My Top Track: Take the “A” Train

Honestly 90s rap was also kinda corny to me, but this one actually was interesting and kept my attention. Lots of energy and catchy beats. Strong start “with when will they shoot?” And a classic in the middle with “it was a good day”. The rest of it had some vibes but was some of the commentary or story parts were a bit cringey (end sequence of “Say hi to the bad guy”). Overall had a good time with this and probably had a lot of good commentary on social issues in LA in the early 90s but I’m no historian. 7/10

Great start with Yoshimi pt1 being an absolute banger then pt2 threw away all my excitement. Thankfully this was the only bad song because the rest of the tracks were fantastic and a great outro instrumental that ties it all together. Overall a very strong cohesive gloopy album. Top tracks: Yoshimi pt1, do you realize??, Approaching Pavonis Mons

Don’t listen to reggae but a great vibe and enjoyable listen. Hate me but the title track wasn’t good but the rest of the tracks were. Best tracks were in the middle and slowly tapered back to good by the end. Strong 7/10 Top tracks: Ketchy Shuby>>>>igziabeher>why must I cry

Alternative rock made specifically to play in Macy’s. Couple of good songs but for the most part nothing too unique. Frequently had some interesting sections within songs but got let down right after (Fix Me Now’s chorus vs the rest of it…) weak 5/10. My Top Tracks: Vow, Not My Idea

A prog rock classic. I have to disclose I have nostalgia for this album because the radio in my first car didn’t work and I had two CDs, A Van Halen album and this one, so I may be biased. This album I think had a good balance of instrumental and voiced songs as well as riffs that were interesting and unique but not offensive or too experimental like other prog rock albums. An easy to listen to, fun album with some amazing drums throughout. 8/10 Top Tracks: Tom Sawyer, YYZ

Fantastic, heartfelt, and soulful. Was so into it I didn’t even check the tracks to rate them individually, and by the end I had to play it again. 10/10

This album is 1 good guitar solo and the most mid margaritaville soundtrack. There are two good songs hotel California and surprisingly the best on the album, Try and Love Again. Life in the fast lane continues to be the worst song written. Overall didn’t change my opinion of the eagles. Incredibly overrated and just okay. 5/10

Odd mix of alternative and pop elements. Mostly 70s pop feel but nothing too unique. Not sure i liked any of the songs. 4/10

Pretty solid funky jams. Superstition is a classic and You and I is a great one I’ve never heard before. 7/10

Solid album but the hits are hits and there’s a reason I haven’t heard any of the other ones. Manhattan was pretty good but 17 was weird. Overall good sound 5/10.

Maybe he needs Garfunkel after all. Maybe the lyrics make up for it but the sound is quite bland and often annoying. Allergies and Cars are Cars are absolute earsores. But hearts and bones and Rene and Georgette are quite good but really the only good ones. Overall weak album for me. 3/10
