Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

3/5

Not my usual listen but very good. A very thought provoking album. Racism, discrimination, and violence towards people of color unfortunately is still here. This is an album of hope, rising up, and overcoming.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

You can hear Bowie's influence in this album. Definitely a good lusten. Iggy deserves the following and devotion of his fans. This was the first time I've listened to this album all the way through and I must say it's much better than I thought it was going to be.

Dookie

Green Day

2/5

The band is tight. The lyrics were definitely written for a teens to early 20's audience. I can see how this album gave pop-punk a good boost. It's just not my taste.

Raw Power

The Stooges

2/5

This album really doesn't do anything special for me. A new guitarist at the time and has a few good riffs and solos. Can see how this album could be influential to those in the punk scene. The music just doesn't speak to me.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

Classic album. Day in the life is one of my favorite Beatles songs. Getting a little on the psychedelic side.
