Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Better on each listen. Some very sad lyrics. Cracking musicianship!

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz

I really enjoyed *Getz/Gilberto*. It’s chilled, innocent, and relaxing, with such a warm, easy vibe. The whole album is beautiful to unwind to, and *The Girl from Ipanema* is a true classic that never gets old.

All Directions by The Temptations

I really enjoyed *All Directions*—the funk and soul hit perfectly, and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” completely drew me in with its hypnotic groove.

Funeral by Arcade Fire

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah

21 by Adele

Adele’s 21 is the sonic equivalent of beige wallpaper: overwrought vocals, lifeless production, and faux soul for people who think volume equals emotion. Perfect for tearful latte drinkers; unbearable for anyone craving music with actual pulse or surprise.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane

The Doors slightly hippier dreamier cousin. The vocals are lovely. A few of the tracks seem a bit unnecessary and it loses its way in the middle but overall enjoyed !

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

Solid opening. Then under my thumb is a belter. Quite a lot of filler ?
