The Doors

2/5

I didn’t enjoy this re-listen as much as I expected. This particular sound just feels a bit worn out. Loved it 30 years ago when I first discovered them. Now I found it a bit of a slog.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Fun, nostalgic, and clever. Love the samples and really takes me back to a specific time with this very (at the time) innovative sound. I’m taking off one star for the skits that are annoying and unfortunately influenced other rap artists.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

A few great songs amidst many mediocre ones.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

I am an absolute blues novice, but I found myself really enjoying this. One of the few live records I’ve heard that really captured the energy and enthusiasm of the crowd. Despite my lack of knowledge, it’s easy to hear what a profound influence BB King had on generations of musicians who followed him.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

3/5

Some great moments but a lot of rambling instrumentals.

Gorillaz

2/5

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Very familiar as someone who remembers when this was released. I appreciate the message, but it is just not that compelling. I prefer many of his other albums to this.

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

2/5

Evokes a very specific time and place for sure. Back to Life still hits and I also liked Feel Free. The rest is sort of forgettable now, but I’m sure it has been influential at the time.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Love the sound of this era. A lot of songs sound the same and I think the first half is much stronger than the second.

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

2/5

I enjoy balladeer Mariah more than R&B jam Mariah. There were a couple songs I really liked and Mariah always sounds amazing. But, I probably won’t revisit this one any time soon.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

3/5

Loved this one! New Wave and Post Punk are my jam apparently.

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

2/5

I find this mildly amusing. And I do get some of the cultural critique although I don’t think it’s that sharp or insightful. If anything, it made me appreciate the artistry of the Beatles and other 60’s bands even more.

Brothers

The Black Keys

2/5

I wore this out back in the day, but feel unmoved now. It’s very same-y. And reinforces my challenge in listening to albums. So much sounds the same and I get bored.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

2/5

Future Days

Can

3/5

Queen II

Queen

4/5

Like others, I’m shocked at how unfamiliar I am with this album. But I loved it and prefer it to their more well known work.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John
