Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

Pretty great chill album. 4 stars for me. Sort of reminds me of 2112 how it’s good to turn on in the dark vibing

4/5

what a start with black dog; goes a little off the rails, but then there is stairway to heaven lol, 4 stars for me

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

great, just not super my style ya know? jazzy to listen to in a dark room at night; 3 stars just because i probably won't go back to it?

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

what a voice, still not for me since other versions of some of these songs hit so much harder, 3 star since it's nice, but just not great.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Great but not the kind of thing I really enjoy? Four stars since it would be nice at night in a dark room. I feel like that’s how I categorize all of these older albums

A Seat at the Table

Solange

3/5

really nice, 3 stars

In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

throwback to when i got this for free; very atmospheric; 4 stars for me. interested to listen to more Radiohead and see their progression through albums since i haven't really explored them much before

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

green light, supercut, liability, perfect places, and the louvre are such standouts. other songs are certainly weaker. probably a 4 star for me?

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

after listening to the anthology, this is a nice overview of muddy waters; 4 stars

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

2/5

electronic; not for me, but not a total assault on my ears--2 stars?

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

Reminds me of cake a lot, I bet Pat would like this. 4 stars since I think I will go back to this

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

Sort of ashamed this is my first time listening to this album. I remember it blowing up when I was in college. Thinkin bout you is so beautiful. Feel like some of it gets a tad repetitive which knocks it down to a 5

Winter In America

Gil Scott-Heron

3/5

interesting and experimental, but probably not going to be a repeat listen for me, 3 stars, pretty crazy how the last song feels like it could be written today since so many of the issues are super present still

One World

John Martyn

1/5

i find his voice annoying and the music cheesy; my first one star? we'll see

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

4/5

4 stars; wasn't crazy about them the first time i heard the sinister album, but they've grown on me a lot. abby liked dancing to the horns with her arms up!

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

funky & soulful! really nice and easy to listen to. probably 3 stars for me since i don't know if i will go back and seek it out, but it was good

Basket of Light

Pentangle

3/5

Folksy rock, reminds me of freeze pop a little bit, enjoying it quite a bit; I def want to return to this so I’m thinking 4; the more I listen I’m thinking 3.5 rounded down

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Decent, don’t like it as much as sounds of silver 3 stars for me

Frank

3/5

What a voice and glad I got an excuse to listen to this. Her voice is incredible, but songs still leave a little to be desired

Just doesn’t seem to be doing anything particularly interesting? Very 2003 2 stars

Only By The Night
