Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Aug 25 2025

Not very good. Some tracks later in the album we decent, but I wasn’t ready for her complete artistic liberties in some of the songs.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Aug 27 2025

I like jazz. Love Coltrane, but I know that there is so much happening in the music that I am not fully comprehending. At times it sounds like random notes, but I believe they all have meaning and are purposeful. I need to sit with some jazz aficionado to unlock the decoder ring. Sure it’s up to the listeners interpretation, but I need to know what to listen for.

Is This It by The Strokes
Aug 28 2025

Great album. Easy to listen to. Fun. Heard several of these songs on the radio. The Stokes have their own sound and cadence not following a popular trend. 3.5 stars. Only because I know that there are some other more powerful albums out there that would deserve the 4 and 5 star spots.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Sep 01 2025

Joan grew on me. Singing the blues, it to a more soulful funky beat. Great guitar player.

1999 by Prince
Sep 02 2025

The classic Prince songs were great. The more unknown ones were not great at all. Going with 2.5. Sorry Prince fans.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Sep 03 2025

I couldn’t get behind her singing. I looked at the lyrics and she has something say, but her voice killed it for me.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Sep 11 2025

I tried. Nothing grabbed me to save any of these songs.

Low by David Bowie
Sep 26 2025

Easy to listen to.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Oct 13 2025

Good voice. Didn’t like the recording.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Oct 14 2025

More balanced album. Still has her anger mixed with some good lyrics.

Oct 23 2025

Man. I remember this group. Loved them back then. Great to hear them again. 3.5.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Nov 03 2025

Excellent! Elton John has permanently stamped himself near the very top of great musicians.
