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

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

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

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

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

Nothing too crazy in my opinion. Solid production. 3/5

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

Solid David Bowie album. 4/5

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.
