This album is a great blend of hip hop, funk, and sampling. The message is fantastic, the groove is there and they aren't afraid to take some risks. It's a groundbreaking album to transition out of 80s hip hop into 90s hip hop.

This recording finds the band's classic lineup at the top of the game. The mixing is solid and the performance is great.

This album was a mixed bag. There were some tracks that I really liked and some that I could have lived without. Fred's guitar playing is quite solid and his voice fits the music better in my opinion than Bob Dylan. He lands somewhere between Dylan and Johnny Cash on this album with better guitar chops than either one. The mixing is solid and it's very well written. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to this one again, but I certainly won't turn it off if someone puts it on.

Having just listened to Abbey Road yesterday, I am more inclined to pick up Rubber Soul. Still not my favorite Beatles album, but it has a lot of solid songwriting and production value as The Beatles moved away from pop standards to exploring their artistry.

Let me preface this by saying, I have always been indifferent towards The Beatles. In my 38 years of existence, I have listened to their entire catalog multiple times, not by intention. Abbey Road remains a strong entry into this list with great songwriting, producing, and musicianship. It is not my favorite Beatles album, and that's ok.

I do not like this album other than Once In A Lifetime. Otherwise, this album is forgettable to me.

A solid album of Country and Western music. Marty's voice is solid as he handles these classic tunes. The mixing is well done and I have listened to this one several times before. I have been looking for it on vinyl but I have not been able to come across it yet.

This is a fun album. I have always enjoyed jazz and instrumental music. Thelonious Monk is at the top of his game here.

This is not my cup of tea. I respect the artistry and ambient feel of the album, but I am not the biggest fan of Lou Reed in general. It's a well made album, with great production value and great songwriting, but I don't like the artist.
