This one surprised me; It's one of those albums that never seemed to fit what I was into at the time. I finally listened to this on my way through Illinois as I traveled back to Tennessee and was drawn in immediately. It feels like a musical or a soundtrack , in all that it cover,but the vocals and arrangements are spot on throughout. It made me want to move back even more than I did at that point.

The album that first introduced me to Adele. I've heard her songs countless times, even tried to sing to a few, but I usually can only go a little bit before I want to switch. She's overall just not for me musically. That said this album reminded me that she is a powerhouse. Her songs are strong on this and only a couple didn't hit for me, I'll Be Waiting and her cover of Lovesong. That

It's weird listening to an album as regarded as this for the first time completely so far past when it has come out. It's cheating in that you can already hear how it impacted artists after that; you can hear those who wanted to be Kim Deal, those who had just as much angst in them as comes out in this record. Each song is so unique, and some are accessible (Here Comes Your Man, Debaser) and some are not as much (Dead, Silver). Still knowing what I know now, this is an album I want to keep revisiting to see what reveals itself over repeat listens

I remember listening to this a few years ago, when I was really discovering Black Sabbath, and loving the album then. At that point, I gravitated to Supernaut ( after hearing the 1000 Homo DJs cover first) and Changes. This time, with my aged ears, I listened again and love different songs on top of those two mentioned. Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener and Snowblind, and Cornucopia as well all perk my ears. I'll be revisiting this one again, along with other Sabbath albums

There is something timeless about the production of this album that makes repeat listens easy. There are some songs I find myself skipping so its not without its faults, but Johnny Rotten sneer shines through and cements himself as one of the definitive punk voices.

It's not my favorite Beck album but i do love it. I forgot how well it fits together and how many differ ent directions it takes sonically.

This was really one I could not get into, primarily because of my mood. It's a slower album with a lot of beautiful melodies. I know it is one I would love to revisit on a different day to see how I feel.

I had only heard of Deerhunter through them showing up on Indie playlists. At that point in my life, the musical universe had expanded so much, as much as it continues to expand today, into highlighting bands I know nothing of. Deerhunter fell by the wayside as a I chose to follow similar sounding bands like Wilco, Band of Horses, etc. So listening to this album was familiar sound-wise, and it contains a lot of elements similar to the aforementioned bands. It is one I will revisit, especially after finding a few tracks I really like so far in Revival, Fountain Stairs, and Desire Lines. These all sandwiched between the opening and closing tracks that encapsulate this album perfectly.

This album is everything. It's a party, or at the very least it's sets the tone for a good day or night. Each song just makes you feel, makes you move, and is effortlessly cool, even with how tight they sound. It's a joy to listen to this one over and over

Quite simply, this soundtrack is great blend of funk and soul. It's too early in the morning for me to think of anything more though, so I will leave it at that.

This album was my soundtrack to my walk home from summer school after failing English junior year of high school. The whole year itself was not great, and I finally just let the album in. It was heavy and angry and I needed that at that point. After that summer school phase though, I never really went through a deep dive again of Metallica until my 30s. I went on instead to find other groups and other bands that I followed for 30 years religiously. Listening today I don't feel that angst at all, but listening to the album again I understand the lyrics better and appreciate how tight the instrumentation is, in spite of the bass being kind of hiding in the background of the album. Still, overall a great album from start to finish

I've always been aware of War, and have always wanted to like them, but have never really delve into their catalog, and this album gave me a good chance to do so. I can see how it was album of the year. That said, the problem I have with this platform, is that you get a new album each day, so I can't really get in as many listens as I want to. This is another I will revisit when I can sit with it. But for now it is a solid album

This might be my favorite Eric Clapton album, and yes I know he was in Cream as well. This album hits deep with emotion throughout, whether it is Clapton wailing with his voice throughout, filled with heartbreak from beginning to end; or with the guitars. Duane Allman and Clapton have a dynamic throughout the album where their guitars are telling their own stories without hardly any words. Then you add Bobby Whitlock in the background makes each note hit even harder.

There is a lot to like about this album: - It has a great producer in Danger Mouse, who stamps the album with hi - It has Damon Albarn, who has never been afraid to experiment with sounds and concepts. - It also has an epic closing track, the self-titled track. From what I read, this album is supposed to be a collection of songs about modern London life. The sound is cohesive throughout, with no track really overwhelming any of the others. Even the closing track, with as big as it is, isn't hardly overwhelming or mindblowing. Its a consistent album, similar to Doves Kingdom of Rust album ,where there are a lot of good songs, not a lot of great songs. It's for that I can't give it a 5 but its also another one I am saving to listen to again, so I may kick myself down the road I need delve

What can you say? Prince was the best; this is peak Prince throughout, so many timeless tracks, I don't even need to keep dabbling on

It's not the best Depeche Mode album, but I really need to delve into the catalog more. I wanted to like this one more than I did. The singles on this album are as strong as they have ever had and this really helped stamp their sound. A lot of songs on the back half fall flat for me, at least at first couple of listens.

This album grew on me with a second listen. I knew a few other songs and those were more immediate. This album has an eclectic mix of songs and it's hard to tell at first listen who they are, and then second listen through you realize it's all them. I won't give it more than 3 because i need more listens to determine if it's a 4, or maybe if it creeps into 5 territory.

What a difference a day makes. I listened yesterday to part of the album and it wasn't just clicking. Maybe it was gloomier out but something hit different when I picked up listening to it this morning. I heard it differently, and even the first opening songs that I was on the fence about sounded better. I am going to save the album for future listens.

Great album minus Graveyard Train. That song just drones on for me.
