nice twangy album, definitely see myself coming back to this if the mood is right

i kinda get it? like it isn't the worst thing I've ever heard, but i also don't see myself revisiting it

good live album. i like bob dylan as much as the next folk enthusiast, but i don’t want to listen to him for 90 minutes straight

really enjoyed this. moody and atmospheric

i have a love hate relationship with the lead singers vocals, damn good album though

this guy sounds like his balls are being squeeze in a vise. there are some good riffs/musical moments on here, but they are few and far between. hard pass on ever listening to this again

all over the place sonically and consistency-wise. some good songs on here, but none of them are long enough to leave any lasting impression on me.

really good alt rock

hard pass on this

good jangle pop

a classic rap album. the birth of g-funk and Snoop Dogg’s rap career (Deep Cover is technically his debut but I weight this more since he wrote on a good chunk of this album)

If there’s one jazz album you should listen to, it’s Kind of Blue. This was one of the first jazz records I ever listened to in full and it will always be one of my favorites.

As many others have said, it’s an album that works in so many contexts. For a close listen, there’s so many little things to pick up on (one obvious one and my personal favorite is how the opening of Flamenco Sketches loosely resembles the opening of So What?, providing a sense of familiarity and completeness to the record.) The record also serves as excellent background noise, effortlessly setting the mood in almost any situation.

I’ve played this record more times than I can count and I’ll never tire of it, truly one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed.

solid blues album. anything that ends with “live from newport” is top notch

i can’t believe i’d never heard this album until now. incredibly unique, never heard anything quite like this. the production is moody and atmospheric; elements of hip hop and jazz scattered throughout. Beth Gibbons’ vocals are beautifully depressing, the perfect pairing for this kind of production. will be revisiting this a ton

Nice jazz album to relax to. Great horn and piano sections throughout. Inner Crisis being a personal favorite.

this was a slog to get through. neil young at his worst

been meaning to check out more shoegaze, i’ve always liked the little bit i’ve heard in passing.

loved this album, bonus points for the cover being hard as hell

Cool rock album, consistently good and doesn't overstay its welcome

never been the biggest fan of early beatles albums. it’s solid, but far from their best

a decent listen, but pretty forgettable as far as paul simon goes
