The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

5/5

Oh my gosh the length! Listening one side at a time haha. (Not true actually, the album is engaging and ended up marathoning it.) In The Cage kicks ass. Also enjoyed Hairless Heart and Counting Out Time. And an incredible closer in "It". Story is wild, but would have to relisten to fully appreciate.

The Blueprint

JAY Z

2/5

Renegade was the best track by far. A lot of the lyrics fall flat here, and the production is boring.

Young Americans

David Bowie

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

All pretty enjoyable to listen to, but "Prove It Through the Night" and the title track kick ass. Wonderful ending. 3.75

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

5/5

Killing Joke

3/5

Deserving of a Relisten after learning more about punk and "post punk"

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

4/5

Every tune was grooving with a great rhythm. Really noticing the synthetic drums and very inspired by them.

Elephant

The White Stripes

Surprise! Blues album! Never thought about it but really enjoyed it.

Not for me, and didn't really enjoy. Fine singing and guitar playing for those who do though, and can hear how it's important.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

1/5

Very forgettable but also with a poor mix that was a little painful to listen to at times.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Great representation of the Basie sound with some killer solos from Lockjaw Davis. But honestly this one was probably picked for the sick album art.

4/5

I was initially put off by the title track but the rest of the album is wonderful. The repetitive lyrics sometimes work and sometimes don't but I appreciate the style.

The Velvet Underground

3/5

After hearing about the Velvet Underground for years and never listening, this was extremely disappointing as a first album. Murder Mystery was the best track by far and the only reason this isn't a 2.

1/5

Some of the drum and guitar grooves are an interesting skeleton, but then everything on top seems designed to sound as irritating as possible (singer, lead guitar tones, random extra noise). Somehow this is the worst thing Ice Cube has ever been part of, even counting Amazon's War of the Worlds.

Nice string arrangements cannot justify the absolutely repulsive concept of this record. Even the album cover is borderline CSAM. Anyone who enjoys this record should be placed on a watchlist honestly...
