TidalFiona Apple

6/10

This was certainly way better than her newest album, I was surprised by some parts because they were really great... BUT, I am sorry, I wanted to give it a 4 but I'll stick with 3 star rating, at least for now. As a whole it wasn't that interesting and the previous Fiona Apple album I've heard unfortunetaly still left me quite a negative taste in my mouth that Tidal was not able to fully wash out, which makes my opinion on this record kindaaa blinded and maybe even stupid but hey, 3/5 is still "hey, I enjoyed it"!

Greetings From L.A.Tim Buckley

8/10

I was expecting something like Fela Kuti's live albums - but it was different. And better. I was not sure how I feel about Tim's vocals at first, but they grew on me. Greetings from L.A. offers a big range of variety in music, while still feeling like a singular artistic statement.

Since I Left YouThe Avalanches

6/10

I enjoyed it, I would be lying if I said I didn't - but this album feels... Pointless. There is no payoff, the whole thing feels like 60 minutes of - a pleasant, causeyes, it was pleasant - interlude. Plus the fact that 100% of the sounds I heard were just samples, apparently around 900. God damn, that's a lotta work, that's for sure. But that's probably what made this album feel so pointless. It sounds nice, it feels nice, but it's empty inside. Towards the end I got more interested in when it will end rather than what other samples will be creatively used in this record. It's an interesting concept, I got invested in it, but I won't be coming back to it. Quite an experience, but I think it'll stay a once-in-a-lifetime experience. At least for now.

Rock BottomRobert Wyatt

8/10

Very interesting side of 70's prog which I really love. I need to get more into this Robert Wyatt rabbit hole for sure. Very unique album.

1999Prince

8/10

Prince is one of many childhood artists of mine but I think it's the only one that I can't make myself to love in 100%. This album is really really good, but it's... Not perfect. It has its flaws. For example for some reason a lot of the tracks are on different volumes and have different mixing (???). Still, the incredible funky bass and keys shine on this record.

Post Orgasmic ChillSkunk Anansie

8/10

GOD DAMN. That is absolutely not what I expected to hear from this album - or even on this list. This is a wild discovery. Such a good album I played it again the same day. The vocalist is full of energy and has quite a good range but the instrumental part makes it so good. Groovy alt metal riffs and sick basslines are all over this album. A little bit of Deftones feel here and there. That is a band I will be getting into very soon. I'd really recommend anyone to check out this album.

AbraxasSantana

8/10

I am so glad I finally had a chance to listen to another 70s psychadelic rock artist, and even with latino and prog hints - so so so nice. Well, of course, it's not like I couldn't listen to Santana earlier - I knew quite well they existed and I was planning on listening to that monochromatic lion debut, but I never got around... And wow, Abraxas is so good. Peacefull, not intimidating, very easy listen - but not simple, braindead music. This is full of fineness. I already came back to this album more than once, and will be coming back.

TuskFleetwood Mac

6/10

It was great, some very pleasant tracks - as a whole, a very nice album. But it was not as good as I expected and I think they went into quantity over quality territory with this one.

Meat Puppets IIMeat Puppets

6/10

I enjoyed it quite a bit. Some of the songs were really nice, I am glad I had an opportunity to emerge into the world of Meat Puppets, hence I shall give this album a positive thumbs up for an easy listen, short album. It was nothing very special though.
