Alabama song is incredibly grating. In fact, the whole second half of the album is less than stellar.

Pleasant, easy listening jazz

Starts with a strange mix of reggae and hip-hop. I really like the sections where it just turns into a monologue. Unfortunately, I feel it is not nearly as impactful by modern standards. Favorite Songs: Final Hour

Overall, I think the album would be more enjoyable without a lot of the vocals. The instrumentals are interesting and varied, creating an excellent atmosphere. The album grew on me the longer I listened. Favorite Songs: Um Dia Comum (Em SP), Felicidade, Abraco

Beats are fun, but the lyrics and vocals are truly awful. This solidifies my preference for east coast hip-hop.

Really grew on me as the album went along. I find the vocalist fine, but the guitars are excellent and really enhance the whole album. Favorite Song: Marquee Moon (there's a reason it's the album title, after all)

Love the Timpani throughout, but nothing much strikes me beyond that.

Nothing in here I haven't heard before. The guitar is the highlight (and sometimes the lowlight as well)

Amazing album, top to bottom. I'll never pass up an excuse to listen to this Favorite Songs: Can I Kick It?, Ham N' Eggs

I feel very conflicted on this album. I enjoy the sound of the guitars, but I don't love Liam's dragging vocals. It sounds like every other British rock album, which isn't necessarily bad, but doesn't leaving me wanting more. Favorite Song: Live Forever

Pleasant, easy listening music. Would love to hear more like this throughout. I kind of love the way they introduce the performance on the album itself. It adds to the ambience. Favorite Songs: September in the Rain, How High The Moon

This whole album kind of feels like Psycho Killer, just in different fonts. Really not that exciting. Favorite Song: Psycho Killer

A lovely album all the way through. Some may find it a little too all over the place and distracting, especially with a trumpet as the lead, but I enjoyed it Favorite Tracks: Blue in Green, All Blues

I respect this album more than I actually like it. The message and intent behind it are great, but the music itself is not for me. Favorite Songs: Fistfull of Steel, Freedom

Really enjoyed the varied instrumentation on this album. Some songs kind of lost me and just ended up feeling like Bob Dylan songs, but it really grew on me as the album progressed. Favorite Songs: Jimmy Hickey's Waltz, We Will Not Be Lovers, When Will We Be Married

Camp in its purest form. I had a great time, and there really isn't anything else like it. Some and concepts haven't aged well, but I still enjoy it for what it is. Favorite Songs: Bat Out of Hell, Paradise by the Dashboard Light

A genuinely great album. It's impact is a little diminished by everything that has come since, but it is easy to hear how they have influenced future artists. Favorite Song: Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall

At first, I thought I like this a lot. As it progressed and started to lean more heavily into the African choral arrangements, it really lost it's way. The album sounds a little too "white man discovers another culture" instead of properly celebrating and exploring this style. Favorite Song: Graceland, You Can Call Me Al
