In A Silent Way

Miles Davis · 1 likes

4/5

I hadnt seen this album before. I liked it. The two sides were both good, but very different.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones · 1 likes

4/5

It seemed to be a bit less rambunctious than some of their albums. I enjoyed the way they used the horn section. I thought it was a good way to spend 67 minutes.

I hadn’t listened to this since the 80’s. I owned it on 8 track, album and cassette. Had forgotten how there was so much unique instrumentation on each song. Enjoyed this a lot more than I could thought I would.

4/5

I enjoyed it. It sounded very much of the era in a good way.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

4/5

I enjoyed the album. I didn’t realize they were the ones that did so many hits that I remembered from the 80’s. Besides the hits I enjoyed the synth pop sound.

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

It was okay.

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

After listening to Arrival by ABBA I can say with confidence I prefer other types. Yes, I did tap my toe at "Dancing Queen", and yes, "Knowing you, Knowing me" got stuck in my head. But they just don't do it for me. It seems from the reviews that many either love ABBA or hate them. I am neither.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

I have been listening to this album for decades. Not sure what the jazz world thinks about it, as other than a few Mile Davis albums that’s the extent of my Jazz knowledge. I really like it.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

4/5

Another album from the sixties, another album I remember fondly from me childhood. On this listen I really enjoyed all the instruments and the arrangements.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

3/5

He had a good voice. Some of the arrangements were interesting. First time I had heard of him or heard his music. Not interesting enough for me to seek out a second listen.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

4/5

I thought it was good. I good see why van morrison fans liked it. I would probably listen to it often if I was a fan.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

First hip-hop album I ever listened to in its entirety. I enjoyed it. I found the first one far more interesting than the second, but I liked both.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

3/5

I enjoyed some of the new sounds they experimented with but overall I thought the album was just so-so.

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

3/5

It was okay. Don’t feel the need to return to this.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

3/5

This was okay. Actually a bit than I expected.

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

4/5

It was only the second hip hop album I have listened to all the way through. I enjoyed it immensely. I thought it had some danceable grooves, I thought it had an interesting point of view. I thought she was funny and overall, I just had a good time listeneing to iit.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

classic rock, classic zeppelin. Heard this all the time. I think it must have been played at most parties I went to back in the 70's and early 80's. Solid.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

3/5

The title track makes it a little better than okay. But it was just okay. I grew up listening to Al Green's greatest hits. That is very good. I ldo like how so many of the bands of the early seventies had horn sections like this one. 7/10

Electric

The Cult

3/5

It’s a rock album. You could tell there influences, (ac/dc , zeppelin) but overall I didn’t feel like they had their own sound. It was just sort of vanilla

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

The only Isaac Hayes song I knew before this album was the “theme from shaft.” I still love that song. I was hoping this album would bring some of the same whatever that song had. It didn’t. It was okay.

Good Old Boys

Randy Newman

3/5

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

I like it. I have heard dozens of times over the years. I just really like it. They just had such a good band. The drumming is good, the vocals are good, the guitars are good. It just all comes together in a nice way.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

It was okay. It was as the Wikipedia stated a bit raw and gritty. I did like that about though, in this day and age when everything is so polished.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

I had only listed to his Folsom prison album. This was way different in a good way. Looking forward to listening to more of his albums.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

Love the way they incorporated sounds from rock and roll into their rap. Really like this album.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

I like reggae. I liked this album 6/10

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

The types and styles of songs seem to change from song to song. There were two with a symphony. some sounded pop, some really grabbed my attention. I can't get my head around it in one listen. Very good.

Faith

George Michael

3/5

It barely made my okay ranking. I like the two hits, but other than that it just didn’t do much for me.

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

A very listenable punk album. I always thought of it as just a good rock album until I read the preview where the band was labeled punk. Labels aside, they rock.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

It seemed to be a bit less rambunctious than some of their albums. I enjoyed the way they used the horn section. I thought it was a good way to spend 67 minutes.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

Just ok

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Seemed a little more bluesy than the others I’ve recently listened to. Very good.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

4/5

Sounded similar to the other Radiohead albums. I liked it

Damaged

Black Flag

4/5

I typically like music that sounds wonderful when it has solid electric guitar play and sounds good loud. I was surprised that Damaged met my requirements. I liked it. I thought it was fun and made me smile. That doesn’t happen with a lot things I listen to the first time.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

He has a unique voice. Reminded of the lead singer from the National. I enjoyed the album.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

3/5

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

3/5

the 70's sound will always be near and dear to my ears. but this was just okay.

The Score

Fugees

4/5

They suggested another hip hop album and it turns out to be another album I enjoyed.

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

2/5

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

Eagles

3/5

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

I owned his album Zoot Allures and enjoyed that one. I liked this better. I have already listened to it a second time.

Orbital 2

Orbital

1/5

Didn’t find enjoyable at all. Felt like someone a got a computer with garage band like software and just started to experiment with sounds to see what would annoy the roommates the most.

The Clash

4/5

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

2/5

Says it was rock, sounded more like folk to me. Wasn’t that fun.
