Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos · 1 likes

4/5

Beautiful vocals by Bobby and Eric Clapton shreds the ENTIRE album. This album is so close to being perfect. There's not a single skip! The only demerit from me the lack of variety. 4.5/5

Cupid & Psyche 85

4/5

Surprisingly good album!

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

The Beastie Boys' trademarked sound exemplifies the feeling of the 90s. 4.5/5

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Q-Tip's flow and voice are unreal and instrumental in creating an incredible project. The second half of this album is truly something special. Personally, this is not my favorite A Tribe Called Quest album, but it's definitely a clear 2nd to their 2016 LP. 4/5

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

Dated raps with very important messages over a ton of very fun instrumentals.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Beautiful vocals by Bobby and Eric Clapton shreds the ENTIRE album. This album is so close to being perfect. There's not a single skip! The only demerit from me the lack of variety. 4.5/5

Good album but nothing too spectacular

Elton John

5/5

Thank you for the excuse to revisit this 5/5!

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

Sade has a beautiful voice. Nothing too crazy here though.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

I might consider Neil Young a good singer if he was my uncle in my family. I had to fight to get through every song. 2/5

Closer

Joy Division

2/5

I can see why someone would enjoy this album but it's just not my particular cup of tea. Drab vocals and bland drums. 2/5

Quiet Life

Japan

3/5

Fun 80s album

Scritti Politti

4/5

Surprisingly good album!

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

Nothing special in my opinion.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

5/5

So, so good. It would be timeless if Dave Mustaine could scream instead of that weird low voice thing... I think this album is still a 5/5 despite that though.

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

This album is awesome but falls short from being perfect due to it's lack of variety. 4/5

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

If you have ears, you know this is a 5/5 album. I've been waiting on this one to show up.

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

I really kept wanting this one to end and it's not even that long. It's just not my tune I guess. 1.5/5

Kenza

Khaled

4/5

This album is so good man. The different languages and cultures being combined here make such an interesting project. 4.5/5

Fred Neil

3/5

Fred has a very nice voice. He seems like the type of guy who has never purchased his own shoes. 3.5/5

Play

Moby

3/5

Definitely has some classics on here, but not an album I would revisit again in its entirety. Solid background music for sure. No disrespect. 3.5/5

4/5

Solid David Bowie album. 4/5

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

5/5

HEEEEEEYYYY MAAAANNN SLOW DOOOOOWWWWNNN One of my favorite albums of all time from one of my favorite bands of all time. 5/5

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin

3/5

Lovely work by Aphex Twin. I really respect their work but you have to be in the mood to listen to it. 3/5

Adele

5/5

Obviously, Adele is one of the best vocalists of this generation but the accompaniment piano, guitar, and drums compliment her performances so well throughout the album and they deserve their flowers too. 5/5

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

I wish I knew more about jazz to be able to rate this project more critically. It was very good and that's all I can say. 4/5

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Heat. Just the sort of folksy stuff I love. 4/5

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

I can't wait to read some silly review trying to say this album isn't good. The tracks are long but the music is there and there's a lot of emotion and talent in here. 4.5/5

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

3/5

Definitely not my favorite Beastie Boys project. It sounds like they were having fun for sure, but I'm not sure if I'd choose this project if I wanted to listen to Beastie Boys. 3/5

Ramones

1/5

Man I really thought I was going to like this album. I usually like rock like this but every one of the 14 songs sounded so similar that the fatigue set in quickly. 1.5/5

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

This is a certified hood classic.

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

3/5

It's a good album. I like it! It just isn't anything special or outstanding. Definitely something I could listen to on a drive somewhere nice or next to a fire. 3.5/5

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

4/5

A very influential album by Missy with extremely creative production even by today's standards. 4/5

Blunderbuss

Jack White

5/5

Jack White has such an awesome and unique voice and I've loved hearing it since I was younger. I struggled to find a reason this album isn't a 5/5. So 5/5.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

This album is pretty awesome. 4/5

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

This the type of music I would want to hear at a basement venue. Just good vibes and good music. Fun stuff. 4/5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Beautiful voice. A fun theme throughout. 4/5

Blue

Joni Mitchell

2/5

This album is very spotty! It sounds like some songs were given a lot more care and love than others. Better mastering, mixing, and singing on some songs and then none of that on other songs. 2.5/5

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

2/5

Some sick beats in there for sure but I think it's longer then I'd prefer. 2/5

The Stone Roses

3/5

I thought it was a good rock album but nothing to write home about. 3/5

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

I grew up with this album so I'm biased but I always thought that this was such a unique and fun dance album. 4/5

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

Nothingburger album. Not your stepping stone is fun but that's all that's worth bringing up. 3/5

L.A. Woman

The Doors

5/5

Before listening again I remembered this album as a 4-4.5/5 but after listening fully through over again for this list, it is so obviously a 5/5 Riders on the Storm is just so magnificent and the album as a whole is awesome and makes me feel like a weird uncle. 5/5

Guero

Beck

4/5

Definitely a great album. A good Beck album but I like odelay better. 4/5

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

This piece is so sick. 4/5

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

Now that I've had a couple albums in this vein, I can tell this one isn't as good as some of the others on this list. I was still feeling the urge to wiggle my finger though so. 3/5

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

4/5

I really enjoyed this album! It made 50 minutes in traffic fly by. 4/5

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

Such nostalgic 80s music. This album has Duran Duran's classics on it and is a joy to listen to. However, I never really find myself wanting to listen to them. I can't put my finger on it. 3.5/5

En-Tact

The Shamen

1/5

Man this was not my tune. I cannot happily sit through an hour of electronic VGM/Commercial music. 1.5/5

The College Dropout

Kanye West

5/5

A classic album that I grew up listening to. I miss the old Kanye. 5/5

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

David Bowie is fun but this album was kinda bland in my opinion.Nothing crazy except that second track which was crazy in a weird way. 3/5

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Led Zeppelin just rocks. 5/5

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Cyndi can really sing but man this music can get a bit stale after a few songs. 3.5/5

Chris

Christine and the Queens

3/5

Surprisingly better than what I expected! I love the blend of languages and it's pretty good pop! 3.5/5

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

A bunch of Beatles songs I haven't visited before. There's a reason they're one of the best bands of all time. Only note is the abrupt start to album. 4/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

I'm sick of this dude

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

4/5

Q-Tip's flow is one of the best. He just has what it takes to make you want to bob your head. 4/5

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

3/5

This album undeniably rocks. Unfortunately, there's a lack of variety throughout but I enjoyed every song. 3.5/5

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Funky. 4.5/5

Queens of the Stone Age

Queens Of The Stone Age

3/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

2/5

Not all albums with a popular song deserve to be on this list. 2/5

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Definitely not what I expected! Nothing to write home about though. 3/5

1977

Ash

4/5

I had never heard of Ash, but once Girl from Mars came on I started to get into the music and I felt like this song really propelled the rest of the album. 4/5

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

Fine album. Really just fine. 3/5
