Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

It was nice to revisit this album. Of course C.R.E.A.M is legendary, however several superior tracks are included: Clan in Da Front, Bring Da Ruckus, and Method Man. This album was/is a great intro to the Wu!

Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

The start of Glam Rock essentially. Walk on the Wild Side and Satellite of Love are the most recognizable songs in Lou Reed’s catalog and are easily standouts on an average album. Hangin’ Around and Goodnight Ladies were some deeper cut favorites. Recognized the Bowie influence immediately. Was unaware that the album was produced by Bowie and Mick Ronson. Since I am reviewing these albums collectively. I’m giving it a three. Great songs hidden amongst some lesser tracks.

Diamond Life

Sade

2/5

Not really my vibe. Okay album.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

I knew I was going to enjoy this album in the first 18 seconds. Greats suggestion.

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

This has been the best album collectively I’ve reviewed since taking this challenge. Up to this point I only knew the song Sour Cherry from some movie soundtrack. This whole album was well produced. Great songwriting.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

2/5

The Blueprint

JAY Z

5/5

Great album. Renegade is the highlight for me.

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

4/5

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

5/5

This was a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed this album. Tracks like Liquid Bird and Outside are standouts. Well produced.

Ananda Shankar

4/5

It’s hard to believe this album was released in 1970. With the use of synths and sitar it could also be from 2020’s. A timeless instrumental record. “Light my Fire” cover is superior to “Jumping Jack Flash”

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Greatest album in Bob Marley’s discography. Enjoyed immensely.

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

TV On The Radio

3/5

This album has highs and lows. I remember purchasing this album randomly when it dropped. “The Wrong Way” was a terrible opening track. I personally feel “Staring at the sun” or “Dreams” would have been better choices. Was going to give 2 stars but for the nostalgia I’ll give it 3.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

1/5

Nothing really to note. Pretty boring album with no particular standout tracks.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

2/5

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Imagine

John Lennon
