TapestryCarole King

Rated 8/10

I Feel the Earth Move is just a wonderful opener. I don't feel like the rest of the album quite live up to that first song, although I did enjoy Tapestry quite a bit. Overall still a great listening experience.

ManassasManassas

Rated 8/10

Some decent rock. The album drags on a bit long, but it ends with Blues Man which sounds a lot like Treetop Flier, which I love. So I'll give it a boost to 4 stars.

The Beach Boys just don't do it for me. Most of their songs sound so similar and kind of cheesy. That said there are some classics on here. I can handle a song or two at a time and enjoy it, but a whole album is a bit much.

There was a lot I really liked about this. Great fuzzy, low key vibe, but then they would throw in the most shrill sounds. Or the track that just has someone snoring overtop of it, what is that? Also, nothing stuck with me. I hadn't even realized I was on my second listen until I heard the snoring again. It wasn't awful, but I don't see myself ever listening to it again.

Rated 6/10

This is along album and for the most part it just does not click with me. Thankfully the interludes are fairly short, but I would prefer they weren't there at all. However, So Fresh, So Clean, Ms. Jackson, and Bombs over Baghdad are just so catchy and good that I can't give it less than 3 stars.

Rated 8/10

Fun, upbeat techno. Kind of gets lost in the background for me, but that can be a good thing on occasion.

I am usually not a fan of the Beach Boy vibe, but this was kind of weird and eclectic and I was digging it.

Some decent ballads. I listened to this immediately after the Paul Simon album that was previous in the list and whenever I had to pause the album Paul Simon's songs would pop back into my head. Overall not bad, not great.

Rated 8/10

Wow, this was not the vide I was expecting when I saw Paul Simon. I did really enjoy the different feel and the african styles. Some songs weren't my favorite (Crazy Love springs to mind), but for the most part very enjoyable.

L.A. WomanThe Doors

Rated 10/10

A solid Doors album. Some straight up bluesy rock, some strange psychedelic tracks. Great stuff.
