People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

Popular Reviews

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Very solid, tons of bangers, a few classics…cartoony and kind of stupid at times, but really only in short bursts. Good to listen again after a long time.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

Totally held up, remember it very well and it came right back. The songs are quick, catchy, well written, i thought it was awesome. 9-9.5/10

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

1/5

Just not for me. Don’t like his voice. Lyrics are lame and trite. Basically didn’t like anything about this one.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Loved it! Queen at their best? Bangers throughout, maybe 1 skip, maybe 0? Will revisit for sure.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Good but uninspiring personally. 1 extra star for bb’s general vibe.

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

Honestly probably not even Green Day’s best album, and Green Day has a pretty hard ceiling in terms of rating

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Weird and unique and kind of rad. Definitely gets bumped up a Star from my actual enjoyment level because it’s kind of one of a kind and definitely new to me

Fever Ray

1/5

Just not for me. DNF.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Very solid, tons of bangers, a few classics…cartoony and kind of stupid at times, but really only in short bursts. Good to listen again after a long time.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

Shockingly good. Definitely always thought of these guys as straight up one hit wonders, but this album is pretty solid all the way through and i didn’t get tired of their sound like i thought they would. Nice job Dexy, thumbs up Midnight Runners!

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

It was fine. It was Supertramp. It sounded like Supertramp all the way through and did not deviate at any point. Completely mid.

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

3/5

Pretty good, for a country album. I didn’t love her voice initially but it definitely grew on me over the course of the album. I thought the album as a whole was way stronger than the sum of its parts.

Van Halen

4/5

Not their best, not their worst, somewhere in between. Definitely didn’t have the top-to-bottom bangers that either of their first couple albums had, but good and entertaining all the way through. Definitely starting to get into more synth than i like, and DLR was kind of wearing thin at this point, but still a nice effort.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

3/5

Pretty good! Fairly one note, and it’s not like i was unfamiliar with her sound, but the album as a whole turned out to be way better and more cohesive than i thought. Still only 3 stars, but a pretty good album

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

1/5

Honestly did not listen. Expecting me to listen to an entire double album of Christina Aguilera’s more recent work is just crazy.

Talvin Singh

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Sick album. Psychadelic electronic pop concept album? Hell yeah. I hadn’t really listened to the Flaming Lips before this but will check them out more for sure. Very solid throughout with at least a few bangers just on the first couple listens.

Dog Man Star

Suede

3/5

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Absolutely amazing. A full on Zeppelin experience. A little more acoustic than their other albums, but basically wall to wall bangers. Such a great listen.
