Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

I thought it was cool and classic, but a bit boring while actively listening…until I zoned out. Spent an hour literally rocking and rolling in my seat. Awesome

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

Listened many times before, love as always

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

So used to listening to Back to Black, where she’s cemented as this fully matured tragic character. Wild to hear her as…a girl. Just a “normal”, funny, flirty, girl.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

It rocked. I don't much get the HELL YEAH BROTHERRRR feeling that’s satisfied with simple melodies so long as they're built of power chords. So it dragged by the end. Bet a live show would set me straight.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

Good times. Happy stuff

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

So many layers of lovely. Big ol' sexy orchestra. Where's my silk robe at

I Against I

Bad Brains

2/5

The Smiths covering Metallica covering Duran Duran. I am too hungover for this shit

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

It's a bit monotonous—not every song seems part of a master plan. But a long walk in the rain put it in context. It's slow, but it's *deep*. It's simple on its face, until you hear a secret saxophone slide in. A shimmery synth line float past. A goofy lil' piano chord chirp in the back. Its layers swell and breathe. It takes its time, but when it gets there...oh man.

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

Made me feel cooler than I am. Tried this album before I really "got" rap, it was fun to fully appreciate it this time. Lyrical and smooth, groovy and chill. Not chock-full of "WOW!" moments, but a nice ride.

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

There's nothing like it. Sounds like a 30-person party. Whole album sounds like an extended outro, so it drags a bit. But extra points for creativity, and for Maggot Brain, which is up there with the best guitar solos of all time.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

Went on a trip while working. Good stuff, burnt on jazz for the moment

Parachutes

Coldplay

2/5

I thought Yellow would make me like the rest of the album. The rest of the album made me dislike Yellow.

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

Come on now

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

5/5

How did it take me so long to find the love of my life

Garbage

3/5

It was fun. Made me nostalgic for a part of the '90s I wasn't old enough to actually remember.

Pretenders

2/5

Brass In Pocket is an incredible song. Bummed to find out the rest of the album was just them dicking around until the tape ran out

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

Loretta Lynn

3/5

Nice time. No Emmylou, though! Jokes aside, just more basic and simple. Classic, but vanilla AF

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

4/5

Horrifying. I liked it. It took crazy assholes in the ‘60s a lot of acid to invent the music we like now. It felt ridiculous, but primordial! and…sick!

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

I feel like I'm supposed to rate it higher but I don't want to?

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

Good nostalgia hit. Damn those songs are long

Destroyer

KISS

3/5

Tried to let go and enjoy it, I’m sure they’re a riot live
