Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Catchy songs. The whole album listened as well I expected to it - good stuff all around. Nothing more to say about CCR that hasn’t been said before.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

Wicked Annabelle, village green, picture book. Very British, 60s acid trip feel. Decent album. Good for a re-listen during a summer bbq.

Kid A

Radiohead

2/5

This ended up being perfect for a restless night. Listened through it in the early hours of the morning and it felt like I should have been high. Lotta synth, some sad lyrics, and overall it felt otherworldly and dull. Started it over and it put me to sleep - big yawns throughout the album. I probably won’t listen to this again.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

I liked disc 2 better than disc 1. First Ray Charles album I’ve ever listened through completely. Legend, great voice, lots of soul.

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

Prince is an icon, so is this album. Each track is great and I can re-listen anytime and anywhere. It’s amazing!

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Crazy this is 35 years old. Still holds up great - classic songs and easy to listen too. Two thumbs up!

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

3/5

Fun summer album with classic tracks. I can imagine grilling some hot dogs by the pool on a 100+ degree day. Or jamming to this on a CA roadtrip. Either way, very enjoyable.

Play

Moby

3/5

Great album! Reminded me of my youth. I remember this being one of those first cds my friends had growing up. Glad I could listen to this again. Will play it again down the road.

Beautiful Freak

Eels

3/5

Surprisingly good! I hadn’t heard of Eels before and then I recognized a few songs like ‘my beloved monster’ (thank you Shrek!). I enjoyed the listen and can see myself putting this on again.

The Coral

4/5

Damn, can’t believe I missed these guys during my youth. They’re awesome. Really fun listen and they have a new fan here.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

3/5

Classic. Beautiful voice and great songs. Nice to listen to them again, been a while.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

4/5

Way more fun and engaging than I originally expected. Listened twice. Care of cell 44, rose for Emily, this will be our year, dreaming of you, and butchers tale, were personal favs among others.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Catchy songs. The whole album listened as well I expected to it - good stuff all around. Nothing more to say about CCR that hasn’t been said before.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

Love the guitar! Wish I knew what was being said but I can feel the vibes. Very funky and smooth blending of genres. Perfect for a morning bike ride on the coast.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

Two legends making a memorable album. Plastico and Dime were standouts. Great lyrics throughout. I’m ready to dance!

808 State

3/5

A lot happening with each track. I’m not convinced it all flows smoothly enough for me to give it another full listen. Overall, very 90s house party. Never heard of 808 state before but I’m almost certain that somewhere/sometime, I’ve heard these tracks sampled in other songs.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

I’ve always enjoyed this album but honestly, didn’t expect to see it here! Great songs and such a staple of it’s time.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Classic album

Kala

M.I.A.

3/5

Mott

Mott The Hoople

4/5

Enjoyed several songs throughout the album. Wish I was your mother, honaloochie boogie, Memphis, etc. Had a classic 70s rock feel.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

3/5

Been a minute since I’ve heard this album. It’s tough for me to keep up with it but it’s still a very enjoyable listen. I still like some of Coltrane’s other records better.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Great live album! Upbeat and fun.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

4/5

Never heard of this band before and this was a fun, surprising listen! I will listen again.

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

4/5

Good album! Catchy rhythms and easy to nod along too. First time hearing Steve Earle and I will look into him further.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

2/5

Nice classics but the sound felt too familiar throughout the record. Will not listen again.

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

2/5

Maybe just wasn’t in the mood for it but I didn’t find it memorable. Next!

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

Some good songs in here (I liked shadow boxer) and there’s a blend of different feels/genres. If I could give 2.5 stars, I would.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Never listened to Bruce before but I like this album so much I listened to it twice! Don’t know if I’ll check out other albums yet but he’s gone up a notch in my book.

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

3/5

Enjoyable album and good for a run. Will have to listen again to get a better feel.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

3/5

First time hearing this band. Some fun stand out tracks like tentative decisions and don’t worry about the government.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Amazing album. One of my favorites when it was released. Crazy to see how far he’s come but this album is a classic and hits home for me. Relate-able in so many ways and such good story telling. 5 stars!

Sarah Vaughan

I found some songs interesting but overall, probably won’t listen again.
