Nujabes / Fat Jon - Samurai Champloo Music Record: Departure
82

Both sides are phenomenal. This album is a bit overrated but its a fantastic work of ambient music overall.

Skee-Lo - I Wish
87

I had such a fun time listening to this. It isn't really spectacular in its writing, but the beats and instrumentals are colorful and plenty of fun. Skee-los satisfying delivery and flow compliment it excellently, and I like how upbeat and positive the songs are.

Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
53

I can't help but see this album as outclassed. Everything I like about bob dylan, namely his songwriting and lyrics, is done better in his later LPs. It isn't just those two, either. The vocals are notably weaker than those in the later album, as Dylan sounds like he's singing with a lump in his throat. The instrumentation is void of any percussion or electronics, aspects that only benefit Dylan's songs. It isn't as if his songs NEED those two to for me to like them, as I still like BIABH as a ... read more

The Flaming Lips - Transmissions From the Satellite Heart
68

With a handful of great songs but an equally amount of unimpressive ones, this turned out to be a really nice lp.

Travis Scott - ASTROWORLD
75

I should've listened when it came out.

Ben Folds Five - The Complete Sessions at West 54th St
87

Amazing set of live performances. Very pleased to see how good these guys are live.

Anderson .Paak - Malibu
81

The songs are undeniably good, but I can't see myself coming back to this thing.
Edit: Upon repeated listens, I was proven wrong. This album is fantastic and has incredible replay value. I love how positive it is, it's genuinely infectious.

Walter Becker - Circus Money
58

Kind of underwhelming when compared to Fagen's solo work, but it undeniably has some solid tracks. I will say that my general dislike for reggae probably prevented me from enjoying this as much as I could, but hey.

Peter Cat Recording Co. - Bismillah
77

It's really nice and smooth. Memory box is a PHENOMENAL song, and tracks like Heera, Remain in Me and Soulles friends are great too. It does undeniably get really dull at parts though.

Heart - Little Queen
74

Has some pretty tight performances. An enjoyable album if nothing else.

Samuel Purdey - Musically Adrift
88

Legitimately beautiful music. A great underground album.

Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding
80

Definitely not as good as the other Dylan albums but still a treat. I find it really quaint with how relaxed and mellow it is.

Prefab Sprout - Jordan: The Comeback
88

Very, very, very very good. There is almost nothing "wrong" with this album, and there is plenty to love. These smooth pop motifs are ones I never expected to love.
Favorites: Moon Dog, Scarlet Night
Least favorite: All Boys Believe Anything

Bryan Scary - Evil Arrows EP 2
70

Incredibly consistent, but lacks any high points.

Bryan Scary - Evil Arrows EP 3
71

Tracks 2-4 and the last track are phenomenal. Otherwise okay. A pretty damn good EP.

Bryan Scary - Evil Arrows EP 5
76

Quaint EP by bry guy the scare bry. It has some serious nuggets of genius here.

Secret Chiefs 3 - First Grand Constitution and Bylaws
48

Can't even call it a fun time. It just tries to do way too much. It has some good tracks though.

MGMT - Loss of Life
70

The second half is just so much weaker than the first. Pretty solid overall though.

Taylor Swift - folklore
50

I feel like this album could heavily benefit from a 10 minute improvisational jazz fusion piece

Jeff Beck - Wired
73

Come Dancing is genuinely phenomenal.
