I already like Ananda Shankar so I knew I'd enjoy this album, but hearing Jumpin' Jack Flash and Light My Fire on sitar reminded me of listening to Johnny Cash sing Personal Jesus. It's not a combo I would have thought worked but somehow it does.

I didn't think I was familiar with this artist but discovered I already had a few songs on my Liked Songs playlist. I enjoyed this album and will check out others.

Rated 8/10

When I pulled this album I wasn't expecting much being a recent release (less than a year!), and I've never heard of the artist. Then reading the wiki I wasn't excited about another metal album and tried to wrap my head around the various elements mentioned in the article. Then I listened. First track I thought, "This isn't metal". Then, on the second track, "Oh, there it is" and I ended up really liking the album.

Again, his voice startles me every time I get one of his albums (I think this is the last one). His voice works better with creepy songs, and while there were a few song on this album I didn't like, most of them were okay. I didn't notice when the album ended and Spotify started playing Rain Dogs (which is another of his albums I liked). I think my rating would be 3.5 so I'll round up.
