I love this album. I've never heard of her before, but I will hear a lot more from her. Great mix of jazz and Afro-pop.

Enjoyable enough bar band. Nothing revelatory in the slightest

Raising Hell is the album I'm familiar with. I think this one is better. Of course it's dated. It's literally old school.

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. There is a real sheen to the whole album. Danielle Lenois is a genius.

This was a fantastic album. Never heard of them before. Very creative. Lots of great sounds. We'll listen again.

Love the kicks. Love this album. I still put Arthur at number one Muswell hillbillies number two, and we have the Village Green Preservation Society as number three. I guess that makes something else number four. Four stars for number four.

This album had a lot of different genres mixed in together. Some of it was good, some of it was interesting, but overall I can't say any song really rose up and did it for me.

I suspect that all Curtis Mayfield is good Curtis Mayfield. So far, that's been the case, and this is no exception. He was definitely going for something bigger here than what I think he achieved, but an enjoyable listen. Regardless, and better than most things you would come across on this list or anywhere else.

Never something I would have listened to on my own. Really enjoyed the lo fiand the record scratching against the saxophone and the vocals. Will definitely listen to again.

John Lee Hooker's great This is a collaboration album that is overproduced, but some tracks—particularly the one with Bonnie Raitt—are particularly strong. The last few tracks are Hooker alone, and that sounds magnificent.

I can see how this was an influential album. So many other bands sound like Joy Division. In fact, I had no idea Joy Division came out in the late 70s, not say the mid 80s. And it's a cool sound with a cool vibe, but honestly not one I intend to listen to again.

Not as insipid as I thought it would be, but pretty darn insipid. A few grooves eventually and Karen's voice is nice, but now I know why I've always stayed away from the Carpenters.

Fun album. Don’t think I would listen again but I like the concept and some songs.

Very enjoyable.

2.5 stars. I would easily give it three if it wasn’t for those horrible skits in between, the pornography really affected the flow of the music and his flow is great as were his samples and beats.

Beautiful album

Sounded original, and that first song, I remember as being somewhat of a hit. But this genre of music is not for me. I tried reading to it, running to it, and listening to it. Kind of failed in all three accounts.

This album has it all. Jazz, great beats, flow, and fun lyrics. Really a perfect album.

Interesting, pleasant album. I didn't pick up as much as I should in the first try. Will maybe listen again in 4 years after I've listened to the other 950 albums.

Once you get past religion it’s a decent punk album. 2.5 stars.
