American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

Favorite of the American series. Iconic cover of Hurt, video is one of the all time best.

The Stone Roses

3/5

Enjoyed it more than I expected. Don’t agree with the high rating it gets on lists like these.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Bubble gum pop from British Invasion. Lacks the weight or grit of other bands from the time. Not a bad listen, good background music. Time of the Season still sounds fantastic. The rest varies.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Great find. I love Back to Black, but never listened to Frank before. Excellent band. Love the track order, funky, complex songs.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

2/5

Dislike. Hard to get through.

Blur

3/5

Couple good guitar riffs. Lots of extra noise. I get Blur and Sublime confused for some reason. Oasis is better than both!

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Happened to listen to Odelay and this over the last few days. It’s crazy how different they are. I like Odelay better, but there are some really solid, although somber, songs on Sea Change.

Classic. Half the tracks were monster hits. The other half were new to me. A couple clunkers which kept it from a 5. Still can’t hear Bad without thinking of Weird Al in a giant fat suit.

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Good one, especially for a Friday. Not my favorite Curtis Mayfield, but very good.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

4/5

4.5. Classic Sinatra. Doesn’t have too many of his best known songs, but they’re all good.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

More upbeat than I expected. X/O is the only Elliott Smith I heard before and that’s pretty depressing. This is a solid 3. Nothing all that memorable about it, but a decent listen.
