Signing Off

UB40

3/5

While this album was incredibly repetitive, its biggest and glaring flaw, it was a fun listen. i thought i would like it way more when i first started it but it dragged way too much without providing enough variety. good for my playlist but i don’t know if i would revisit this as a whole album again any time soon.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

2/5

objectively this album is absolutely beautiful. i just wish it was more for me. it’s lyricism is astounding. the only song i really enjoyed was the opener. the record overall just had too much repetition and the vibrato in her voice started to irk me near the end of the albums run time. again this is absolutely very good it just couldn’t be less for me

Blondie

4/5

awesome album. so much fun in every track. banger after banger. her vocals are amazing and there’s some serious riffs here. great record

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

Really solid first half but i wasn’t too into the second half. interesting listen, i did enjoy how half way through the album it flips genres, i thought that was so cool. i just found the second half to drag a lil bit, and i did not like the song “am i blue” at all.
