4/5

the basslines… the horn arranging… the vocals… the fucking closing track…. OH.

4/5

what a wonderful record. Best contemporary soul record i’ve heard in a bit, no thanks to the psych-rock influence at times. lush textures, heartbreaking lyrics- it’s got it all!!!

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

about as perfect as a pop record could be. it’s moody, it’s boundary pushing, it’s got that familiarity in the lyrics that change with each listen and as you grow older… it’s got it all!

Amnesiac

Radiohead

2/5

the parts that are interesting are Fine but i’d rather be listening to Kid A

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

decidedly “not my thing”, but i thought it was fine overall. ccr are a band where i’d rather listen to their hits as opposed to their actual records.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

god i love curtis so much. not my favorite project of his, but he’s a revolutionary. he tells it like it is and sounds like he’s holding nothing back. sexy but bleak!! great stuff

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

the basslines… the horn arranging… the vocals… the fucking closing track…. OH.

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

4/5

don’t even get me started on this record. jaco’s bass work on these recordings provide a firm foundation for some of the most concentrated yearning in Joni’s discography. though a record like Blue or Court & Spark i return to more often, Hejira still hits on those long late-night drives home from a show or on tour.

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

4/5

a sprawling symphonic dreampop delight! reminds me of broadcast and cold beat a bit. but it’s really its own thing, really lovely and definitely something i’ll be returning to sooner rather than later.

KIWANUKA

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

5/5

a larger than life spectacle made by one too. leonard’s vocals have never sounded better, but his bassy inflection never overshadows the instrumentation or the songwriting. a true swan song

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

Talking Heads 77
