The Mothers of Invention - Absolutely Free
100

This album may not have been as influential in regards to popularity as some of Zappa's other works, mainly Hot Rats or some of the late 70s stuff, nor the peak of instrumental virtuosity like the later bands got to reach, but it surely feels like an absolutely essential step on Zappa's career.

Zappa was the kind of guy who didn't really care about his own legacy, and I tend to agree with this posture, and precisely for this reason I believe this work is somewhat underrated. It shows, for the ... read more

Frank Zappa - Jazz from Hell
85

Getting this out of the way: G-Spot Tornado is probably one of the most interesting Zappa compositions ever, up there with Brown Shoes Don't Make It, Little House I Used to Live In, and all of the Boulez Conducts Zappa album.

But this album is overall pretty great and grew a lot on me. Listening to some pieces such as the title track, I sometimes wonder what would Zappa say about stuff like videogame music in the 2010s. This album will definitely not appeal to all people, but his compositions ... read more

Bob Dylan - Rough and Rowdy Ways
90

This album is as good as I expected it to be. After the troll decision to make a 17-minute long song about events from 1963 and before (and what's the funniest - make it his first #1 on Billboard), Dylan made bold moves by releasing two more singles.

I had an amazing experience with Rough and Rowdy Ways. Nothing feels out of place, and everything seems like it was written with a purpose. It's a much more positive album than Tempest, which makes me feel better about Dylan, someone who most ... read more

Bob Dylan - False Prophet
NR

"I'm first among equals - second to none
I'm last of the best - you can bury the rest
Bury 'em naked with their silver and gold
Put 'em six feet under and then pray for their souls"

Edgy Dylan meets old Dylan. If Rough and Rowdy Ways is as good as these singles, we're gonna have another masterpiece after Tempest. Even the least interesting of the bunch, "I Contain Multitudes", has something great about it. It's amazing to live at the same time Bob Dylan does, specially ... read more

Bob Dylan - Murder Most Foul
NR

Well, JFK DID want to end the Fed.
