Little River Band - Sleeper Catcher
73

Some parts underwhelming, some parts shockingly stellar. A bit of an underrated album in the grand scheme of things.

The KLF - Chill Out
87

Laying in the dead of night, eyes closed and curtains tight, distant grasslands in my sight.

Joni Mitchell - Blue
74

This needs another listen, undeniably. I wasn't ready for how earnest this was.

Piper - Summer Breeze
80

Tight. Great city pop album.

Kokonoku - Kokopuffs Taster Pack
71

Unusually enchanting. I can tell the producer had fun above anything else making these beats. I heard animal crossing samples be implemented as neat pieces of sonic texture in woodblocks, and that should say enough about what kind of album this is. There's quite some ass on this though, but also some bangers.

(rating deluxe tracks)
I gotta admit, hearing these demos, I'm glad we got the C&C we have now. That being said, Warm Socks, Junky Boy, Smooth Mover, and Dirty Money are great songs. Warm Socks ESPECIALLY

Haruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki & Tatsuro Yamashita - Pacific
79

I was expecting a bit more lyricism rather than none, but what I got didn't disappoint me.

Logan Whitehurst & The Junior Science Club - Goodbye, My 4-Track
58

I have incredibly mixed feelings. This really is the embodiment of a "geek rock" album, and while I like the musicianship in many songs, I don't in many others. It's also very tongue in cheek-- not that I'm gonna dock points for that, but still.
Favorite: Your Brain Fell Out
Least favorite: Monkeys are Bad People

Jamiroquai - Synkronized
63

Hey, honestly, this is pretty alright. It probably wasn't a great album to start with, since Canned Heat is just MILES better than everything else, but I enjoyed my time with it.

Donald Fagen - Morph the Cat
77

The first 3 tracks are genuinely fantastic, and though the rest is good, it doesn't hit the same for me. Good album overall.

Lupe Fiasco - Samurai
75

While nothing compares to the single title track, the album as a whole was a pleasant, smooth ride.
Favorites: Samurai. Outside, Cake
Least favorites: Mumble Rap, Bigfoot

Makoto Matsushita - First Light
78

With unbeatable grooves and scuffling shuffles, this is an incredible city pop album.

95

Year of the Boognish.

Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline
83

Underrated. It certainly isn't phenomenal in terms of writing, but the musicianship is still excellent.

Electric Light Orchestra - A New World Record
85

Its writing is a bit amateurish, but the compositions are legitimately flawless. The closing track is one of the best pop songs I've ever heard, with an incredible orchestral ending with the thunderous voice of a woman. Great album.

KNOWER - KNOWER FOREVER
81

Mega epic album with some orchestral pieces I very much appreciate.

2 Mello - SEEK your SOUND
56

I liked it for what it was. The guy making this has a great attitude which I respect. If he honed in on his more relaxed side of music he could make something seriously great, because the songs where he rapped aggressively were just... not that good.

Kendrick Lamar - meet the grahams
80

Someone's gonna die over this beef bro
