Rated 10/10
It is difficult for me to dissociate this from Bowie's Blackstar.
Two extraordinary musicians signing off with sublime albums within months and coinciding with the darkening of the political climate.
An incredibly deep, beautiful and reflective album. The lyrics muse on religion, past relationships and his approaching passing.
The sparse strings, backing vocals and Cohen's deep baritone compliment the material perfectly.
Rated 2/10
By their third album, The Cult had become a caricature of themselves. This is tired, generic rock. Their second album, Love ,would have been a better inclusion if only for She Sells Sanctuary.
Rated 6/10
It’s the End of The World and The One I Love are great but the remainder of the album was disappointing. They were to go on to make better albums.
Rated 10/10
I had never heard of Ananda Shankar before and thoroughly enjoyed this album. The covers (Jumpin' Jack Flash and Light My Fire) were great but so were the original compositions, and even the 13 minute Sagar (The Ocean) maintained interest throughout.
A great find which I will be listening to again.
Rated 6/10
This has been the most difficult album to rate so far.
On first listen, it would veer back and forth between terrible, self-indulgent prog rock and great harmonies, often several times on the same track.
I gave it several tries and it sounded better but still not all the way through.
There were times when I could have rated this one star and others where it was closer to a 4 or a 5. I am going to settle for 3 stars.
I generally like complex albums that reward repeated listens. I am undecided whether this justifies further listens. There is too much other great music to listen to.
