2/5

the first song was pretty good but the rest was decidedly Weak Sauce and featured a stunning lack of conviction from the singer. 2.5

mostly great stuff but weirdly overproduced at times. fast car is perfect though obviously

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

blown away by her voice... and those arrangements!!

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

first five tracks are all time. the rest is also pretty good

Blunderbuss

Jack White

2/5

whatever man. title track and weep themselves to sleep are cool i guess but i'd honestly just rather listen to the bands he's ripping off

Dry

PJ Harvey

4/5

great stuff!! prefer how heavy Rid Of Me sounds but this is really cool too. love how the drums sound. sheela-na-gig is excellent and the folkiness of plants and rags really caught me off guard

Stephen Stills

2/5

the main problem here is that he cannot carry a song all the way through to save his life. i'm just not compelled even slightly, especially on 'Church.' i guess crosby and nash were carrying him big time. also he's mixed really really quiet, even on the one really good song ('Love the One You're With').

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

aw :) that's nice :)

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

4/5

really pretty - loved the fiddle and his voice and emmylou harris's backing vocals. $1000 wedding is an excellent song. i thought Love Hurts was annoyingly saccharine though. first side is significantly stronger (besides In My Hour of Darkness). 3.5

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

4/5

beautiful!! definitely a new favorite. got very excited when barrett told me that eno was involved with this one. i can hear some influence from his rock records in the 'Zopf' suite, but this feels a little rougher around the edges, which i enjoyed. 'The Sound of Someone You Love Who's Going Away and It Doesn't Matter' is absolutely the highlight here, but i also thought 'Chartered Flight' was incredible

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

the singles are great, obviously. enjoyed a few of the others, especially 'picture this,' which reminded me of an elvis costello song, but the second half fell a bit flat. 3.5

The Libertines

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

great album. our lips are sealed is an all-timer pop song. really good beyond the singles too! love the harmonies and the surf rock influence

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

it still blows my mind that they went from please please me to THIS in the span of two years. some days i think this might be my favorite beatles album. you can really feel how happy they were to be there - still young, still a Band, but starting very slowly to splinter apart

Whatever

Aimee Mann

3/5

before this i was really only familiar with the stuff she did for the magnolia soundtrack, which i love, especially Save Me. some really excellent songs here but there's a more than a few that just miss the mark for me. but i'm a sucker for that overproduced 90s alt rock sound. favorites were I Should've Known, Put Me On Top, and Mr. Harris. 3.5

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

okay i get it now. love billy corgan's voice despite myself, mayonaise and today are both all time incredible songs, ending of silverfuck is awesome

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

it was nice! kinda half-listened on the drive back from oklou. wild world and father & son are both such beautiful songs. don't have a lot to say about the rest but it was pleasant. 3.5

All That You Can't Leave Behind

2/5

brian eno, daniel lanois, and famous protestant singer Bono team up to make some FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! i have a real soft spot for "Beautiful Day" and "Stuck In A Moment" because i used to listen to my mom's CD copy of this in middle school but man the rest of it is just Nothing

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

4/5

first two tracks are absolutely the highlights for me. abzug feels kinda pointless
