This is without a doubt his best album of the decade so far! I'm so glad I get to say that! He has made an awesome album well into the 2020s! With how melancholic the album is, it still makes me so happy.

One thing I respect about the narrative is that there's really no good guy. Everyone has cool moments and awful moments which makes it a more compelling and probable story especially for the wild west.

The second half sounds like a musical episode of Food Network's Chopped and each member was given a small batch of things to work with for their song. For Roger they felt bad and gave him a second chance.

I'm petty enough that I might use one of my 3 genie wishes to know what the heck is going on with this album. The story totally lost me, songs are great though.

Doo-Bop might be the greatest posthumous album in that it's A. an excellent album in it's own right but also B. leaves you with the sting of knowing the artist died before his time. I mean this does nothing if not prove that Miles could make music for eternity and keep finding new expressions, new collaborators, and new ways to make outstanding albums.

Bro took 1 Corinthians 10:31 and RAN WITH IT! I hope I can do the same to this extent someday.

Rock operas are just too rich for my blood.

This is Mario Kart World the album. Adding tons of new elements that have never been seen before, endless intrigue from the get go, features colorful, whimsical animals, has a big band/funky sound and of course, off the walls insane. Funk and orchestras shouldn't mix well but this album mixes the two so well while having this summery, beachy vibe. This album shouldn't work but it does so so well.

It's Billy Strings, my favorite artist, and Bryan Sutton, a Bluegrass guitar legend playing bluegrass standards. Obviously I'm going to love it. What perfects this album though, is the fact that the entire concert is featured including them talking to the small audience of veterans. It adds so much and these moments are what bluegrass was made for. All of these factors make up a excellently performed, pristinely recorded, intimate, meaningful album that I could listen to for hours on ... read more

This is like a modern "Will the circle be Unbroken" album. For those who are unaware, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band released a few albums under that title throughout the 70s and they now act a something of a time capsule of what the bluegrass and, to an extent, country scenes were like. You have one artist who's in the center of it all playing with the leaders, top dawgs (pun intended) and old masters of the tradition and in 2021, Béla Fleck has gracefully taken up the torch ... read more

Bob Dylan's lyrics this time around possess a similar intrigue as when your granddad starts telling stories from decades ago and you're like "tell. me. everything." And If this happens to be his last album of new material "Murder Most Foul" is an excellent end to it as it takes place in 1963, around the same time as the beginning of his career which creates this amazing full circle moment, not to mention it's perfect groundwork for a super poignant, reflection ... read more

This album has unavoidable sentimental value for me. It came out in the summer of '23 and around the spring of '24, it had really sunk in and I loved all of the songs. And my friends and teammates also loved the songs. That spring was a very special time for me and I'd always stream it in the car on my way to somewhere fun. It's the soundtrack to driving to an event you can't wait to go to.

Albums like these are the one's that Google was made for. Each track cites a different black woman in history as a queen and looking up the people while each song was playing was interesting though some of them were cooler than others. And the songs also happen to be fantastic.

This album goes back and forth between "smoky jazz club" and "royal ball" and on occasion the two mix but they don't repel each other which conveys a seamless quality that makes the album more fresh than it's contemporaries and will probably come to be more timeless as the years go on. And the two themes on their own are excellently performed. This is Clifford at the top of his game.
