Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Superfly cruises through the city at night with the windows down. There is a lot of sugar in this medicine.

Dire Straits

3/5

Effortlessly grooves through the first third before petering out. But just when you start to drift, Sultans of Swing begins.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

The Specials

3/5

Not for me, but a worthy pitstop.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

"Take Me With You When You Go" is gorgeous. Exhilarating and expansive.

Elvis Presley

4/5

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

The gentle soundtrack to a chance meeting with an old flame at a cocktail bar in a city you've never been to before. Willing to dance if you'll lead.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

There is a lot to like about Muse, but I can't shake the feeling that the vocalist is smugly levitating the entire time.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

I listened to this while reading the wikipedia page for tiananmen square, and I think they synced up.

Stephen Stills

3/5

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Fragile

Yes

4/5

Self-indulgence never tasted so good.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

4/5

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

3/5

Third

Portishead

3/5

I feel like typically albums get boring in the middle or near the end when they've lost steam. But this one started boring and then got pretty good. I enjoyed the little run from The Rip to Machine Gun. The rest was a bit too difficult for me right now.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Damn good. I liked when he asked the fellas not to hit their ladies due to rumors.

Faith

George Michael

4/5

Every single one of these songs is too long. Great pop album. Love the song about spanking the monkey.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

3/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

What? I'm supposed to be upset that Respect is on this album twice? Get real.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

3/5

I wanted to enjoy this more. The instrumentation is too boring for the lyrics to be this inane.
