Bone Machine
Tom Waits
Crazy experimental apocalyptic album with lots of interesting sound bites. Pretty weird honestly but wasn’t a bad listen through, as lots of the songs had unexpected variations that pulled from other genres. Sometimes the songs felt they had some folk, blues, rock, or were even like a ballad. Lots of old school folk inspiration. Wasn’t a huge fan but was interesting. Very raw.

Play
Moby
Very well diversified. I like how the album changed pace at the end and took on a slower tempo with some neat instrumentals. Good workflow jam

Natty Dread
Bob Marley & The Wailers
Classic from Bob Marley. Some of the best reggae out there of course, and you have to give credit for the context of the album (revolution). Exodus has some of Marley’s best bangers though so this can’t reach 5 stars.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God
The Pogues
Some good Irish jigs. Fun album but not much stood out to me. Had some slower songs to change the feel. Can’t say I’d go back to really listen to much of them but it was a good change of pace for a different genre to listen to. Overall, it’s mid and about a 2.5 star.

Daydream Nation
Sonic Youth
Good album, pushes the boundaries on rock. Was surprisingly well done and I enjoyed the alt/progressive take that it uses to push boundaries.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!
Frank Sinatra
Classic Sinatra. Not really many of the crazy hit classics though. Talks about love a lot.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard
Bill Evans Trio
Loved this album. The bassist is phenomenal and the drummer brings personality to drive the songs with interesting fills and beats. Great pianist with some upbeat / chill tunes. Enjoyed this with a warm apple tea at work during one of the first days of the fall season while it rained outside in NYC. Absolutely beautiful album.
