The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

4/5

Love when an album reminds you that music is supposed to be fun.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

If you can't handle me at my Iron Maiden (Run to the hills) then you don't deserve me at my Kate Bush (Running UP that hill.) I was shocked at how many songs from this album I knew. Loved every second. Forget 5/5. This was a 10/10.

Melodrama

Lorde

5/5

I don't even need to relisten to this to know it deserves SIX out of five stars. (But I did relisten.) (Because this is her best album.)

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

I've enjoyed what I heard from their album Mezzanine, and really enjoy Heligoland, had no idea they’d been in the game for so long. Fun to hear the clear foundation for a lot of electronic music today. Especially the music that leans toward that cinematic feel. Wish I could give half stars so I could give 4.5 instead of 4.

Headquarters

The Monkees

4/5

Very very fun. As the “I’m a believer” band I expected this to be more mindless pop and was so happy to see that if I’d been young when this came out it would’ve been on REPEAT. Love when an album just has a bunch of clips the band fucking around in the studio.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

5/5

They would make an album that was entirely dishwasher sounds and I’d still eat that shit up. 100/10

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

3/5

The music itself was fine but I’m not a huge fan of this dude’s voice.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

4/5

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

5/5

Queen II

Queen

5/5

yes

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

4/5

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

4/5

Fun! I love anything with a beat that isn't annoying or boring. Checks those boxes easily.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

5/5

Fun, iconic, timeless, etc.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

Gotta love anything that makes country music palatable.

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

4/5

For as much as I'm averse to country I fucking love relatively-contemporary folk music. Calling this genre "alternative country" is so pretentious. Just say folk you cowards.

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

3/5

I kept forgetting it was a live album until the audience applause would jump-scare me. Not a genre I'd listen to on my own but I'd be a dirty liar if I said I wasn't bouncing around and vibing hard to it.

Rio

Duran Duran

2/5

I have tried so hard to like their music over the years. I don't know what I'm missing. Maybe the part of the human brain that develops an appreciation for this particular brand of 80s synth-pop never finished cooking for me. Meh

Dry

PJ Harvey

3/5

Once again, I wish we could do half stars so I could give it 3 and a half. I've liked some stuff I've heard from her, but hadn't heard anything from this album and am a smidge disappointed with it, but it was still a good vibe.

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

3/5

It started off strong and I thought I'd have at least a 4 star review here, but I was less of a fan of the second half of the album. Every goddamn guitar strum was a 10/10 though.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

It was somehow exactly like I expected but also nothing like I expected.
