A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

A return to a great record. Its difficult to not feel that the time for "21st century schizoid man" has only really come in the present. In all it's proggy glory, In The Court Of The Crimson King is full of hooks and instantly memorable melodies.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

4/5

Quite enjoyable, not as minimalist as Either/Or that I had previously listened to a couple of time. Still haven't taken the time to go into the lyricism more deeply.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Very energetic, but also calmer gems in here. Loved listening on Headphones.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Like it for what it is.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

A classic that I Love

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

Good, probably really good, but not my favorite Dylan.

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

1/5

My first time listening to a full Marilyn Manson Album. It didn't do very much for me.

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

Really growing me. First time really paying attention to pixies lyrics. Noise pop?

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

3/5

Big throwback to playing a burned CD of this in high school. Burial is such a great track. I like the whimsy Tosh tracks less.

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

3/5

Pretty good, completely new to me.

Document

R.E.M.

1/5

Vocals are not growing on me. Probably a good album for some.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

4/5

Knew half the songs from passive exposure. Worth paying attention to!

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

2/5

Not bad! First listening to a full record.

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

Ok, on the record that features "Love fool", I did not expect multiple instances of Sabbath worship! Outside of the well known hit, this record is packed with hooks and bits of cool lines.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

Bleak and minimal, still need to listen to it more .

My Generation

The Who

3/5

Loud. Lots of hits, still deserves more listens.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

1/5

Barely bareable if you manage to ignore the vocals.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Pretty good. I am liking this way more than the last time I listened to it. Making delayed trains around Köln much smoother.

Fleet Foxes

4/5

Paying attention to this reveals a lot of finely crafted melodies. It's also not produced in an overly clean fashion like some of the following folk rock of the nest decade will be.

Excellent album. The hill I am willing to die on is that it's not nearly as revolutionary an electronic album as the discourse around it is making it up to be
