I did not particularly like this album but I appreciate the production story behind it.

Funeral

Arcade Fire · 1 likes

4/5

Beautiful sounds that kept me interested from beginning to end. Fun fact: Rebellion is the opening theme of the popular Italian political talk show “Otto e mezzo.”

Constant craving is the only song I noticed on this pleasant but unmemorable album.

This album left me dazed and confused.

Much respect for Willie Nelson and his gentle interpretation of these songs.

Just what I needed to drag myself to the office on a freezing Friday.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

4/5

I never really considered KW, probably because I don’t like his public persona, but I thought this album was very good and enjoyed listening to it. Lots of nice collaborations, too. (SMH for the blurred George Condo cover art)

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Dead Kennedys

2/5

Giving it two stars for the social commentary, otherwise it would be one.

Beautiful sounds that kept me interested from beginning to end. Fun fact: Rebellion is the opening theme of the popular Italian political talk show “Otto e mezzo.”

Maybe it’s nostalgia but this album brought me great joy.

It ain’t Bob Marley.

Musical potpourri that didn’t speak to me. Could have done better with the cover, too.

This album grew on me the more I listened to it and recognized some of the tracks like “You can make it if you try” and “Everyday people.”

Enjoyed a couple of songs and the big band.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

4/5

It’s no wonder this man was awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature. His songs are poetry and he also happens to be a great musician.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

4/5

Indeed… but good music remains.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

It’s not my favorite kind of jazz but it was still a pleasant listen. Watermelon Man reminded me of the White Lotus season 3 opening soundtrack.

Dire Straits

5/5

Money for Nothing alone deserves a five stars for me but I also love some of the other songs on this album like Brothers in Arms and Your Latest Trick.

Girls just want to have fun and Time after time are timeless. The rest of the album is okay.

This is one album I instantly got hooked on when I listened to it at the Ricordi Mediastore in Milan (yes, we used to go to music stores to listen to albums through wall‑mounted headphones!) I also love the cover, it fits the album perfectly.
