Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

2/5

I just don’t love all the explicit lyrics. Innuendo is sexier. I get the amazing voice. After the album Spotify gave me a duet she did on a different album. Gorgeous.

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

1/5

At the risk of sounding like the Church Lady and Tipper Gore’s best friend… are you kidding me? Wait, I can fix that. Are you fucking kidding me? What a load of garbage. I bet Brian was quite the child to raise, as Catholic school brought out the best of his oppositional disorder. It’s even worse now since everyone wants baby boy to have a gun to shoot up his enemies. Not much patience for crap from the comfy white boys looking to shock. This is a big ZILCH.

The Doors

5/5

I remember the whole album from high school. 27 seems so young now. His voice is so powerful and mature. I think his psyche was not as mature. It’s an amazing album. The End is quite dramatic, even more melodramatic to aged ears.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

5/5

This screams 1960s to me and I am absolutely certain that whatever radio I heard as a preschooler was full of Dusty. It’s lovely and makes me think of gogo boots and miniskirts and my mother’s hair teased up on the top of her head. Sweet and sweet.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Well, she’s got an amazing voice and I’m afraid a long line of breathy singers wanted to be her. I won’t remember a single song and I think that may be my lack of sophistication because it’s clear she’s thoughtful and talented and nonetheless it would be background music for me.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

5/5

Well.. yes.Each song gets better and better. Wish I had spent more time with him in the 80s

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

I need more time to sit with this but wow there’s a lot more to the Kinks than Days and Lola which are great songs. A lot harder rock than I thought. I need to listen to these narratives in the songs.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Well, I know this album well. His voice is so smooth and gorgeous, and it’s almost but not quite enough to overcome the ‘you pretty girl , I’m your man and I’ll complain if I don’t get you’. Can’t argue with the voice, have to argue with the era. But we’re on our way back to that, aren’t we?

Trio

Dolly Parton

4/5

Something purely joyous about women harmonizing and supporting in a generous way. Everyone gets their part, weaving in and out, peacefully. I don’t like country’s past tendency to mourn for men, but really it’s about the women and the sound isn’t it? Let’s not be fooled.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

2/5

I wanted to like it because Bowie’s cool. I didn’t like it. I’m sad that I didn’t.

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

It’s okay. Again, probably need more time with it. Sort of feel like I’ve heard that sound before…

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

I wouldn’t identify myself as an electronic music fan but I definitely liked this. Fun to dance around to. Lord this band worked themselves nearly to death didn’t they? I guess one did die. Lots of fun in this album!

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

Surprisingly cool. I never liked heavy metal and yet now I can hear the masterf solos on both drums and guitar. I’m going to listen again! Also reminds me of Jack Black and Spinal Tap which makes me smile!

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

Oo jazz baby. So cool, I dig your mellow tunes. Great after dinner smooth… I like it baby, bring it on in! Get your mid century on.. two weeks after my worldwide debut. I give it four stars!

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

I had no idea how young he was, how spontaneous the talent. His voice is one of the instruments. I would say his music was the earliest exposure I had to black culture of any kind. I was one of those Sesame Streeters.

2112

Rush

3/5

I just do not like Geddy Lees voice. Terrific drumming! Unbelievable guitar. I hate his voice.

Adele

3/5

Okay she is top of the pops 2010s. Lovely voice and the songs sound sort of similar to each other. Never really moved me. The lyrics are more love and loss. Okay.

Foo Fighters

4/5

I feel like if I was born in the 80s I’d love this. Some I loved, some too harsh. More please.Grohl…amazing

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

5/5

Grab a Guinness and enjoy. Dance your joyous nihilistic dance. I can see not being in the mood for it, but you are in the mood for it, aren’t you? My best friend caught one of their drumsticks; she revisits the perfect moment whenever she can.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

3/5

So… I appreciate the lyrics and the mix in of children’s voices and the old advertisements! Rap is exhausting for me. Doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

2/5

I want to like it. I like some of it. I think.

Survivor

Destiny's Child

5/5

Oh this was very cool. Amazing. Beautiful voices on dancing, boys, friends, Jesus, trauma, gratitude and joy. Pro woman. Pro female.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

3/5

Okay I did not like it, then I liked it. It’s an acquired taste unless you are a disaffected working class youth. In which case just Fuck you! Lol

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Uh oh. Under my Thumb means more than I thought. I like them but much less than the Beatles.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Everything’s been said that could be.

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

1/5

Woodface

Crowded House

5/5

I liked this very much. Clever lyrics, sweet voices, fun tunes. Ummm, I was finishing my dissertation so I missed them. More please!

Fragile

Yes

4/5

Love it. Yes, pretentious. But they’re good and pleasant to listen to.

Fleet Foxes

4/5

I really enjoyed this. The voices and the style. Pleasant and relaxing. Listened three times.

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

3/5

What was that? A sound experiment.

Kimono My House

Sparks

4/5

I liked this! Seems very ahead of its time! I bet it’s considered glam rock but it bent new wavy to me. Humorous and sharp

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

I do not have the jazz sophistication to make an informed comment. It sounds like a very hot humid day in the south where everything you want is a cold lemonade. I give it three cause I don’t know.

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

3/5

What was that? A sound experiment.
