Wutang solo isn't ever as good as the whole thing. This one was fine, but similarly to when it came out I had a hard time wanting to come back to it. 2.5/5

Kind of wild that this came out in the mid(ish) 70's. Definitely ahead of its time. Enjoyed more than I expected. 3.5/5

The album always surprises me. When released, behind a glowing pitchfork review I immediately bought, and then immediately dismissed. It just didn't resonate with me at the time as a 25/26 year old. However, now I feel the album is brilliant...and I don't understand how I didn't love it from first listen. 5/5

First time I have ever taken War seriously. Low Rider is so ubiquitous it kind of drives me crazy. Funky jazz fusion. 2.5/5

Starts off as a complete 5/5 classic, but the back half wasn't quite as strong IMO. Still a solid album and I can understand while it is so historically lauded. 4.5/5

Go4 is amazing. Damaged Goods is a classic, but the rest of the album is energetic and frenetic...a great time. 4.5/5

My first real listen of late era MG. It wasn't bad, but nothing like What's going on. Probably won't return to this one. 2.5/5

Rated 6/10

Have found the Killers to be one of the most overrated bands of the past 20+ years. This one didn't hit for me when it came out (despite owning it) but I felt it was slightly better on this much later listen. Not sure if it is quite a "classic" but solid none-the-less. 3/5

This one is a bit strange as far as Smiths albums go. There isn't any standout songs when compared to the rest of their catalogue, but the album just works start to finish. More a vibe album perhaps. 4/5

Interesting stuff. Not my typical lane in Post Punk, but still a worthwhile listen. 3.5/5
