Solomon Burke
2/5
The guy can sing, but the music is mediocre and uninspired. In addition, some of the lyrics I managed to catch aged like a lecherous old man. Overall this album is nothing memorable, just a good singer making mediocre music with an annoyingly repetitive back-choir. It's a nice one-off listen, nothing more.

2/5
While I hear a lot that influenced later music, this was not an enjoyable listen for me. The self important yet droning vocals, the grating industrial sounds, and the kind of bland songwriting made time stretch. When I felt I just about had enough I looked at the playlist to discover that I'm only halfway through. o no, I felt. The best part of the album was a song that started with 1:30 mintues of instrumental. Once the singing resumed, so did my time dilation. Personally this is a 1 for my own taste, but i'm giving it a second star in recognition that it did have a significant influence on other artists.
