Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

5/5

nina i’m not nothing but when you lie on the piano i am reminded i am stupid

Nowhere

Ride

3/5

she is very gorgeous TO ME

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

2/5

It’s fine. Skin can definitely sing. I’m just bored. Doesn’t offer me anything I haven’t already heard elsewhere. Not a memorable album apart from Skin’s persona as frontwoman.

Ananda Shankar

1/5

If you like sitars you are in for a treat

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

2/5

Harmonica! Synth! Dog barks, seagulls, and sleigh bells on the same track! Quirky indie rock for white men in their forties who are a respectful amount of perverted. The slower songs (Wonderful, Troubles) make me feel like I’m dozing off in the late afternoon with a fever (not sure if this is complimentary or not).

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Sade is the perfect woman. The record definitely puts its strongest tracks at the front. There are a few snoozers in the middle and second half but the record ends on a very strong note with the closing track. Overall an incredible, classic listen, one for the music history books.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

I mean it’s JONI MITCHELL. Not my favorite record of hers but stellar nonetheless. “Help Me” is one of my favorite songs of hers. And I had never heard the closer “Twisted” before but loved the jazz elements, the humor, and her performance. A solid showing from one of the best to ever do it.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

4/5

I was already a big fan of Nothing Compares 2 U and I was really pleasantly surprised by this album. The first track started off sleepy so I was worried at first that I wouldn’t enjoy the listen and that this would be a One Hit Wonder type of scenario, but luckily that was not the case. Many of the tracks start off from a slow and unassuming place and evolve into something entirely different. Forceful, meditative, singular, at times quiet but never lacking life. I suspect I’ll keep returning to several tracks long after this initial listen. Favorite songs: I Am Stretched On Your Grave, The Emperor’s New Clothes, You Cause As Much Sorrow, The Last Day of Our Acquaintance. Rest in peace Sinéad we miss you so much

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Absolutely seminal, an essential snapshot of human history and artistry.

Tommy

The Who

2/5

i’m sure this is someone’s favorite album of all time but it is not mine

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5

one of the albums of all time
