From a musical quality standpoint, I find this to be the best Frank Sinatra album. The combined efforts of Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians leads to a well-constructed and captivating album. From the background vocals to the instrumentals, there is a lot to love about this record, even for those with little patriotism. Highly recommend listening to this album.

My favorite Foo Fighters album. Hard to believe the consistency that Grohl and company have shown throughout their music career, and this was just another continuation of this. Love everything about this record. Highly recommend listening to it.

The perfect ending to the story of Freddie Mercury and Queen. Oddly enough, I would consider this my favorite record in Queen's discography. Something about this record just resonated with me in a way that the other records didn't. Highly recommend listening to this album.

A fantastic, short collection from a band that I love more the more I hear them. Even with a small collection of songs, there is a ton of variety in the instrumentation and the vocals featured on each track. Highly recommend listening to this album.

Jay-Z's best album. So much to love about this album, from the features to the production. Truly cemented Jay-Z as a hip-hop legend, and rightfully so. Highly recommend listening to this album.

The worst album of Elvis Pressley's. Obviously, there is context in here that doesn't translate considering that I haven't watched the movie to go with it, not that I would want to watch that movie anyways. Even still, grading on just a musical quality, this album feels extremely weak and phoned in for an artist as talented as Elvis Pressley. Not much worth listening to off of this record.

Not much good to say about this record. With an uncharacteristically boring-sounding Kanye and Ty Dolla Sign, who seemingly just lacks the talent to carry the record on his own, this record is boring, uninteresting, and has very little replay ability. The only good thing I can say about this record is that its better than the record that would follow it. Burn is probably the only song worth listening to off of this album.

An album that seemingly confirms Kanye's downward spiral in and out of the studio. Separating the music from the racist garbage he has recently spouted, there isn't much content provided here from either Kanye or Ty Dolla Sign. With poor production uncharacteristic of West, this album feels redundant and insignificant. Wouldn't listen to this again.

Really boring album that doesn't do much to draw listeners in. It makes sense that the two are on bad terms now, considering how little chemistry they show on this record. It seemed like whenever one of them would put up a good-to-decent verse, the other would just be terrible, and more often than not that person was Drake. Not much to listen to here.

REDUX Review: Original Score: 14
Good fucking lord. To get any positives out of the way with this record, Fine China is at least a decently interesting song that I actually might want to hear again, and Ain't Livin' Right is at least somewhat refreshing from the boring slop on most of the rest of the record. There are some interesting moments on these songs as well throughout the record, so there's at least that.

With that being said, that is fucking it as far as good things I ... read more

Boz Scaggs brings a wholly unique style on to one of the best albums I've ever heard. So many great songs on one record, all with a ton of replay ability. Boz's unique vocal style is complimented by the nice piano and trumpet instrumentation. Highly recommend listening to this album.

Elvis Presley's best record, in my opinion. To me, this represented Elvis breaking away from his older style of music and branching off in to his new era, and what a great era it was. The added instrumentation, as well as the added vocal range of Elvis Presley, leads to one of the best pre 80's albums ever. Highly recommend listening to this album.

Absolute masterpiece of an album that, of the albums that I have listened to, hasn't been topped by any rap artist since. A great, poetic story told all through the voice and experiences of a man that continues to push the rap industry to its limits. Highly recommend listening to this album.

REDUX REVIEW: Original Score: 100

Still no fucking misses. No flaws in this LP whatsoever, any suggestion of such can only be described as ragebait.

Absolutely still Nas's magnum opus and an absolute benchmark in not just the history of rap, but of music all together. I mean every track here with the exception of the intro Genesis, hits like nothing you've ever heard before. N.Y. State of Mind is a hard-hitting, reality altering track that really engrosses you in the world of the ... read more

Sounds crazy, but this is probably my favorite album I've ever heard and I cannot recommend listening to this record anymore. You may not love this record as much as I do, but I can't imagine that it will be an uninteresting or boring experience. These guys have just kept elevating themselves throughout their music career, and this is the culmination of their hard work. Everything from the vocals to the instrumentation is, in my eyes, as perfect as it could be. Sad to here that ... read more
