Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X
85

My favorite trip hop album by far. I might go as far to label this one of my favorite 90's album of all time too. Every song just feels right with Kelli Ali on vocals I just don't know. Favorite tracks are "Low Place Like Home" "6 Underground" "Becoming X" "Spin Spin Sugar" "Post-Modern Sleaze" "Wasted Early Sunday Morning" and "Roll On".

Sunrise - Sunrise
79

After enough time searching through youtube for folk records, I was recommended a few songs off this record and instantly was intrigued. Searched out for the record and managed to find someone that had the mp3 files for the full album and snagged it. Only a few standout songs, but the ones that do standout are incredible. Takeaway tracks are "Blind Man's Song" "Let the Rain" and "The Forgotten War" and "If We Regarded Tomorrow".

Muddy Waters - Folk Singer
84

My go to for a stripped down acoustic delta blues album. Every song hits just right. Takeaway tracks for me were "My Home Is In The Delta" "My Captain" "Good Morning School Girl" "Cold Weather Blues" and "Country Boy"

Leaf Hound - Growers of Mushroom
82

Incredibly solid hard rock that stays interesting throughout the whole listen. Guitar is fantastic and vocals screech through with awesome power. Can easily recommend to anyone who likes rock in general. Take away tracks are "Freelance Fiend" "Sad Road to the Sea" "Work My Body" and "With a Minute to Go"

Eberhard Weber - The Colours of Chloë
80

Really interesting album with a type of sound I've never really experienced from another jazz record. The first two tracks "More Colours" and "The Colours Of Chloë" are the stand outs for sure.

Maruja - One Hand Behind the Devil
89

First time I ever heard anything from this band and I get lucky enough to have it be this song. The guitar work and vocalism is wild here. Waiting to listen to their new album when it drops in September.

Yes - Close to the Edge
89

One of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time for a reason. Explore it for yourself and find out why.

Roy Harper - Stormcock
95

One of the most impressive records I've heard, I was just coming down after listening to "Comus - First Utterance" on repeat for what felt like actual months when this album stumbled into my recommended videos on Youtube. I remember I was playing a game while listening to it, but, when I was halfway through "The Same Old Rock" I had to pause and just listen, man. Beautiful guitar work and lyricism through what I would consider Roy Harper's magnum opus ... read more

Death Grips - Exmilitary
85

Took a couple of listens for me to get into it more. The sampling and creative lyricism on this mixtape is insane though. This tape goes hard, man.

Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner
77

Listen to this one at work all the time. This album was my first introduction to Tom Waits and I have still yet to go anywhere but this album. The fact that Waits and the performers went out of their ways to make this studio album play and sound like a live record is so awesome. Very enjoyable listen overall. Favorite songs are probably "Emotional Weather Report", "On A Foggy Night", "Putnam County" and "Big Joe And Phantom 309".

The Dramatics - Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get
88

Up there with one of my all time favorite funk/soul albums. Every song kicks hard on this record man. The only track on this record I don't like might be "Fall In Love, Lady Love". All the other tracks are pure gold in my opinion.

David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name
84

What an insanely great record to listen to. I used to listen to this record on repeat while on break at my old job all the time. I don't hate any songs on this album and it's a very well-rounded listen to me.

Poe - This Road
90

I had been anticipated a release of "This Road" in full for quite awhile to be honest. After hearing the entire piece put together after playing Alan Wake II I just knew I needed it on streaming or physical release. Managed to snag the record when it went up for sale and it's been part of my heavy rotation ever since.

Michael Farneti - Good Morning Kisses
40

I just stayed for "ESP Switch" and that's about it. Very boring album overall.

Strange Boutique - The Loved One
50

Nothing really stand out on this record besides maybe "Drown" and "Black Sun". I thought their sound was alright, but very boring after you hear it over and over again personally.

Legend - Legend
84

Found this band through a random youtube recommendation. I saw the cover and was very interested by it so I put it on and was mesmerized by the voice I was hearing. Mickey Jupp is the name of the lead singer of his band "Legend". I have never heard a voice quite like his that's for sure! Incredibly well written blues/folk pieces and nice instrument work overall. Very solid record!

a-ha - The Sun Always Shines on T.V.
84

Simply put, my favorite a-ha song.

Oliver - Standing Stone
78

Unique sound from a very obscure album. Every song sounds different and offers something interesting for sure. "Trance" was the first track I heard on this album and I instantly knew I needed to hear the rest of what was to offer on this record. The guitar work is also incredible too!
Favorite tracks: "Off On A Trek" "Trance" "Instamatic" and "Where's My Motorbike"

Gustavo Santaolalla - Raconto
77

Second favorite album coming from Gustavo Santaolalla. Listened to this record quite a lot when I was just starting college and helped to speed through some assignments of mine. Having sat through this album more than a couple times I can say it's very relaxing and smooth with its transitioning between tracks.
Favorite tracks: "Abre Tu Mente" "Camino" "Sudamérica" and "Paraíso Sideral"

"I recommend the other band that both Nick and Dino are in called "Matrix". Some pretty solid stuff there too in my opinion."
