great music but the vocalist pulls me out of the experience

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

4/5

Wow - punk well before punk was a thing

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

There are some some really powerful tracks here that show a diversity of influences and there are some self-indulgent tracks on the deluxe version.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

5/5

Thank you for reminding me of this great album

Is This It

The Strokes

2/5

A really tedious listen with the constant droning guitar chord

5/5

A Seat at the Table

Solange

5/5

Really great concept album with rich vocals

Spiderland

Slint

4/5

Awesome deep sounds that are kinda grunge but more clear. I see this a a potential soundtrack for a neo-western movie.

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Even though the album runs 39 minutes there is lots of music here. The Pixies are able to convey a real sonic landscape in a compressed manner.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Great voice and gone too soon.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

4/5

Great mellow album that has hints of other British bands.

Quiet Life

Japan

3/5

Kinda of OK for that genre of electro dance pop but not my personal fav.

Femi Kuti

4/5

Good album and other collected works - I am not that familiar with Afro-beats and this is a nice addition to my rotation.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Great album where the original is improved by a remaster where vocals are more balanced the rest of the music.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

5/5

Near perfect production value on this album - I use this album (LP) to test out new speakers and amps.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

Risque

CHIC

4/5

Might be the pinnacle of this genre and the bridge to funk.

Very focused album that while the production level is high and musicianship is strong the overall range of songs seems scattered.

Bob Dylan

5/5

I could listen to this several times in a month and it would still be fresh and relevant.

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

2/5

Not really my cup of tea

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Fantastic work

Garbage

4/5

Forgot how much I liked this album. Yes, it fits into the grunge era but is more varied and intelligent than some other music of that time.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

One of the best Americana (NOT C&W) of the 20th century.

Doolittle

5/5

Really iconic - cannot believe this was made in 1957.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Psychocandy

You have to listen to this at the correct volume - too low and the vocals are muddied and too loud the guitars overwhelm everything.

When I first saw the name and the cover it was familiar but could not recall any music from this album. Once I got two songs in I was hooked and toward the end I remembered the song Hero. Honestly did not want the album to end.

There are some really good songs on this album. Maybe it's my ears or a combination of the accent and speed but the lyrics can be difficult to make out from the lead singer.

Debut

Björk

4/5

Palo Congo

Sabu

4/5

Not knowing much about this album I listened to it on Apple Music and first impression from a piece that is over 60 years old is the quality of the recording is very good and the group itself is great.
