Otis Redding

4/5

The best way to start?! A fun listen. Otis is obviously a powerhouse, but the backing band is so tight. I miss professional studio-musicians from this era. Everything works. 4/5

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Good, but the album is of its time. Although Marr’s riffs are exceptional, the album can get monotonous. An average “must listen.”

Pornography

The Cure

1/5

This is boring.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

It’s not bad

Fleet Foxes

2/5

Respect the harmonies, solid musicians, but this is bland.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

Phenomenal record

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

It’s haunting , poignant, and, at times, a mess. The risks Mingus takes on this record are compelling, creative, and courageous. It’s an interesting take on redemption and mimics the mania of metanoia, but it’s too unmoored to be above a 3.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

Albums like this is why I wanted to do this! This is fantastic!

Bad Company

2/5

Boring.

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

3/5

I liked everything, except Van Morrison.

Live At Leeds

The Who

2/5

You can die not having listened to this.

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

2/5

Nice synthesizer… shame about the songs.

Roots

Sepultura

3/5

The rhythm section reminds me of some good Rage Against the Machine songs. The Brazilian percussion and chanting are the best parts. This is not for me, but I appreciate the production on this.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

Started slow, but got better.

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

4/5

Great album.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

This is not good.
