Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

4/5

Had never heard this group before. Lots to appreciate. The arrangements are interesting, the grooves feel good. What a great band. Looks like I have a lot to catch up on in their catalog!

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

5/5

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

This, for me, is "difficult... listening... hour" to quote Laurie Anderson but I listen to difficult music sometimes and appreciated this suggestion.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

5/5

Easy to love this album. She's a wonderful vocalist, the songs are beautiful, and I love a stand up bass.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

1/5

Jesus. The best thing I can say about Bob is that he is more poet than musician, though poets might take issue with that.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

I loved this album when it came out. Years later I now notice some things I don't care for, that it sounds like it was the product of many hours obssessing in a studio rather than a group of musicians collaborating and also that many of the sounds are electronic. Worthy of the list but not so much to my taste these days.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/5

Whenever I hear reggae I find myself wondering how inebriated does one have to be to enjoy this? That said, this album is better than most in the genre.

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

1/5

No melodies, no hooks, no feeling, flat lyrics, robotic rhythms... I'm curious to read the positive reviews to hear what people like about this.

Opus Dei

Laibach

4/5

A for effort. Interesting musical ideas in a symphonic/opera meets metal kinda way. I appreciate their boldness and originality. Parts of it remind me of Kate Bush's Hounds of Love from 1985.

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

4/5

Not a genre I am familiar with but I enjoyed this album. Some neat bass lines and the lyrics made me laugh.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

Jeff Lynne is a special talent. The songs on this album are masterfully composed, beautifully arranged and full of feeling.

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Hadn't previously listened to this album in its entirety. So good!

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

5/5

I can't help but love VM probably because of the time period and people I associate with his music. That aside, he is one of my favorite vocalists. Very much a soul singer, he sings just like he plays the saxophone with similar melodic lines and utilizing the full range of sounds his voice is capable of.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

2/5

Not much of musical interest for me with the exception of some of the Prince-inspired ideas.
