Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Not usually big on live albums but damn what a night that must've been. That man could make a guitar sing and a stone get up and groove. Casual misogyny never went down so smooth.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

3/5

This rating makes me feel like such a ⬜. The intro pulled me in like we were old friends vibing in the basement. Then we just... never left the basement. His voice is pure sex, but Pyramids was the first time I noticed any changeup. Why see the world when you've got the beach? If I were high or rolling this be an easy 6. But sober? I stand by my rating

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Velvet voice, gutter mouth. Smoky jazz with a hangover and story to match

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

The anti-Amy Winehouse: all substance, no soul. The album screams truth from a concrete bunker. Admirable, but not loveable. "One" is a banger though

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

I think he might want to get it on

I Against I

Bad Brains

2/5

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

5/5

Fantastic

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

Parachutes

Coldplay

2/5

Pleasant, polished, and eerily artificial. Parachutes is the sound of background music giving up

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

Great stuff. I wish I liked his voice better. Also, far be it from me to give notes to Neil Young, but it felt a touch overproduced at times

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

5/5

Not generally a country boy but I enjoyed the hell out of this album. Gorgeous vocals, rich storytelling, an almost neighborly production feel. Sublime. How have I never heard of Emmylou Harris before?

Garbage

3/5

Catchy choruses and well tempered effects. I wasn't blown away by anything but an enjoyable listen overall

Pretenders

2/5

Generic retro pop punk. Not bad, just bland. This was a song that didn't need to be an album. They had some funky bass lines though

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

2/5

We get it. You’re poly. The honkin and tonkin was fun but the lines were insufferable. Have your toxic relationships but please leave us barflies in peace. https://open.spotify.com/track/4ACS8SnOb3WDwtzNTxKMUB?si=d398337010bc4969

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

3/5

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9j3heYZAk8 ^ This gag in album form. Fast and bulbous indeed.

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

2/5

Plastic cheese. This album tastes like a Norman Rockwell and reminds me why the British Invasion had to happen

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

I love Bob Dylan but remember why I rarely finish his albums. There are only so many harmonica solos a person can take

Destroyer

KISS

3/5

I may not love the trail they were blazing but can't deny were building something new. Cheesy as it is, Detroit Rock City is a fun song

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

I feel like a hypocrite rating this so high. The album was objectively monotonous, but every time the music pushed me out the lyrics pulled me back in. Also definitely got shades of The National

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

3/5

"If sex were an olympic sport we would've won the gold." Sure Jan. Just crack a window this time, we can smell the theater room from Algebra

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

Harpsichords and yazz flute? Sign me up

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

2/5

This album can’t decide what it wants to be. Are they a jug band? Blues? Easy listening? Jazz? It doesn’t do any of them badly, but without nailing any of them it feels overwrought and rudderless

Connected

Stereo MC's

1/5

"12 renditions of 'Bust a Move' but make them progressively worse" -Brit Hop Rickety Cricket

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

I enjoyed the interwoven sitar features. It broke the album up a little and added a little spice. The flow was a little scattered at times, but overall a good listen

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Just enough variation to keep it palatable, but the longer it goes the heavier it drags. Four songs? Four stars. Full album? The sludge becomes a slog

Teen Dream

Beach House

4/5

It's a vibe

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

I’m not going to justify this one. I just really like the album

Sail Away

Randy Newman

3/5

Dylanesque sounds carried by straightforward but soulful lyrics. Not something I'd typically seek out but I appreciated it while it was on

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

2/5

Fine but I'm not really the target audience here.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

No one man should have all that power
