At first I felt out of my element with this mid-50’s jazz album, but I’d be lying if I didn’t have a smile on my face by the end of “How High the Moon”.
-edit for future me: Apple Music only had half the album (acc. to Wikipedia track list), so this goes for tracks 1-9

*See the Sky… , Ambulance Blues*
Getting a sense of Neil Young behind the radio hits, and it is good

(4.5) over half the songs on this album still get regular airplay; like Thriller, I feel like I'm listening to a greatest hits compilation rather than a studio album.

Some spots dragged in the 2nd half, overall a great showcase for Sabu Martinez.

*Them Bones, Down in a Hole, Dirt* I'm finally starting to get Alice in Chains; in the past, I generally would switch radio stations whenever they came on. Thematically and sonically heavy. I both love and hate the "sludge metal" sound that "Dirt" helped create.

Hard to rate, beautiful yet uncomfortable to listen to

3 1/2,
In line with my year-of-Covid angst pretty well. Also nice “prequel” to ‘The Downward Spiral’

Salt of the Earth still one of my favourite RS songs

Police & Thieves cover. Garageland. And I'm So Bored With the USA

Listened at work, not properly since volume was low enough but enough to know it was a solid album

*screams endlessly, namelessly*
eh they're pretty good, this Nirvana group

good- listened to it half while cooking a steak / half right before bed

I guess you have to be in the right mood for RATM, and today I wasn’t quite in the right mood (driving soundtrack?)

I don’t know how I overlooked this album (besides WWH)
