very excellent, if very dirty, lyrics. He has a lot to say, and it's very well done

Influential for sure, but it doesn’t belong on this list.

Probably better than the ilk of its peers, but I don’t know why this made the list. Waste of time.

I’m sure you had to be there. Three stars.

I never understood why everyone is so crazy about Nina Simone. I get it now.

Not as bad as I feared, but as overhyped as expected.

Worth listening to but not essential. It’s two songs.

I dismissed it when it came out, and never listened to it again. The Globe Sessions is a nearly perfect album, so it's surprising to see this one on the list. But this album does deserve a listen, even if it's not the best in her catalog. Four stars.

Finally an album worth being on this list.
