Fela Kuti clocking in another smooth funk masterpiece. Ginger Baker absolutely kills it on the drums.

A cool like country roots album. "I need to spend some money and it won't wait" The title track is a good groove with excellent and grabbing lyrics.

Britpop the band. yep, its brit pop alright.

Woah there is some chugga in this opening track. Velouria is a cool 90s track. Is She Weird is a real power fun example of this 90s proto alt sound. Havalina is a good closer.

How was Shame On A N***a ever given a radio friendly version? The sampling on this record is awesome. The way they break this up with different long form interviews and samples, this is more than an album. It's a manifesto. Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta Fuck Wit is the start of and a high point in the entire gangsta rap genre. Its also an incredibly DARK album, especially on the break right before M.E.T.H.O.D. Man.

That vocal just sits in the perfect spot in the mix. Dead Embryonic Cells is as heavy as any song could get get at this time. Digging the into on Desperate Cry. However this album really feels repetitive. It doesn't go anywhere. The wild solo on Subtraction could have had more room to breathe. The Orgasmatron cover puts it into the same sonic style as the rest of the album, which felt like a chore to listen to.

Baba O’Riley is a stadium shaker. And then Bargin is the two and cements this as one of the strongest opening one-twos in all of rock. The Song Is Over has the worst synth tone for a ballad. Getting In Tune strikes the right balance for a slower, more operatic feeling song. Behind Blue Eyes is great. Won't Get Fooled Again is another fanstastic stadium closer. Honestly, the strength of the Lifehouse songs on this is more than enough to merit a 5 from me.

kinda cool, never heard of an Algerian artist before. straight ahead pop with a mix of this almost bollywood style vocal sound. But then C'est La Nuit is a totally different vocal texture. Kind of a straight up cover of Imagine, but sure it's nice. Trigue Lycee is a fucking bop. This album goes a lot of places sonically. Goulalah - Dji is a prefect example. Wow what a great listen!

Its a return to the Doors blues roots. Changeling has some of that magic that brought this group to superstardom. Love Her Madly is another catchy tune. But we hit Cars Hiss By My Window and things slow waaay down. L.A. Woman is a good tune. L'America is bullshit. Snake King and WASP are bullshit. Riders Of The Storm makes no sense as to why it's as big a hit as it is.

Love that bass tone. Set The House Ablaze kicks ass. Music For The Last Couple starts way in left field. The back half of the album sort of loses its way but that was excellent!

Absolutely smashing drums. Dave grohl storming the scene. That double overdrive guitar. Sounds like the band that took over the world. Crazy to think dave recorded all the parts himself and only brought a band together to play it live.

This album is like 80s bjork and a little sarah bareilles. Suspended in Gaffa is really a wild ride. Night Of The Swallow hits its stride right at the last third of the song. Houdini is Kate Bush letting it R I P. Man what a weird art rock album. Maybe worth a relisten?

Blergh. This album is pretty boring.

Ugh can i get out of the 60s yet? Its a decade that I cant seem to hate but also cant seem to wholly love. Honestly every song has this mid tempo genre soup with that one overdrive guitar sound. the mixes are great on this album.

This is cool as a museum piece. Like looking at a fossil of rock and picking out elements in it that would be refined over and over. The songs themselves are fine but I'm pretty full of this kind of sound. the fact that its in mono is also a bummer. Shangri-La is a good track. This would be a fun concert.

This is a punk album before punk even knew what it was. Higgle-Dy-Piggle-Dy is a perfect example. Complication is a sound straight out of the 80s almost 15 years before its time. Drunken Maria is another one.

Surfside beach blues tunes. The thing about Clapton is these songs are not locked to a blues traditionalist pattern and the ornamentation is more thoughtful. Still, the songs are that consistent mid tempo dad rock that is very mood dependent for me. I Shot The Sheriff is a great tune. the back side of this record is pretty dull.

YESSSSSSS!!!!! Rise Above punches people in the face. TV Party is funny. This is a decent punk record and you can hear the seeds of something more approachable and also the start of the more modern hardcore movement. But as an album on its own? not my favorite punk record.

This is one of those rap albums that better lyrically minded listeners can parse. The album goes a lot of musical directions with its orchestration and is definetly a kitchen sink style. Definetly worth a revisit. Break You Off is so smooth.

Big Iron is a fun song. There are some actually really nice musical progressions and modulations. All the songs have these tight narratives, and are just so enjoyable. The Master's Call is christian fan fic, though a god killing 100 cattle with a lighting bolt is pretty rad. El Paso is really violent for such an upbeat song. This was a great time.
