It's a great feeling when a band you've tried to listen to for years just clicks. What an album.

The Avalanches

5/5

Well this just shot up to the top of my rotation. Incredibly creative sampling, flows perfectly from beginning to end, and just so much fun. Favorite tracks are hard to pick based off first listen when it's such a cohesive whole, but Frontier Psychriatist stood out.

Dust

good god

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Really wonderful. I was only familiar with Son of a Preacher Man before but the whole album is full of beautiful tracks like it. Other favorites are Just A Little Lovin', Breakfast in Bed, The Windmills of Your Mind.

Pornography

The Cure

2/5

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

The acoustic-heavy back half drags this down just a bit but man that first half rocks. Every song from Immigrant Song to Out of The Tiles is killer.

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

2/5

Queen II

Queen

3/5

This is perfectly fine. Queen has been one of those "like and respect but don't love" bands for me, this album didn't change that.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

2/5

Crisp production and decent performances but these songs are very forgettable. Favorite track was Get Free I guess?

Soul Mining

6/10 Had my head nodding throughout. Some catchy grooves and I enjoy the prominent bass in the mix, but nothing wowed me here. Just a solid rock record. Favs: Tighten Up, The Only One

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

7/10 Good songwriting, and Beck is very good at creating an intimate and warm sound on his music.

Nixon

Lambchop

1/5

2/10 Nothing really works here. A sleepy, uninspired bunch of songs with a weird kind of Bowie imitation on top with the vocals.

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

MC Solaar

2/5

This one didn't get me into French rap, sorry to say. A few decent beats though. 4/10

Da Capo

Love

2/5

4/10 It was silly and fun for the first few songs, but really fell off with that last track.

Elvis Presley

3/5

6/10 It's Elvis. What's there to say.

S&M

Metallica

3/5

It's a bit of a mess. The old thrashier songs needed serious reworking to fit the orchestra, but there's glimpses of a cool thing in the post-Black Album material. I had fun watching the DVD, but don't think I'll be returning to this. 5/10

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

It's a little dated, and repetitive even for the genre. But it's still a vibe. 6/10

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

Swell.

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

3/5

It feels like Steely Dan-lite, but I like Steely Dan so it's still smooth listening. Just nothing that really stuck with me. I'll put on Aja instead.
