Vol 4 by Black Sabbath
Lacking the flair of their self titled and paranoid. In this album I find the Taylor Hawkins comment to be true... Black Sabbath is like Led Zeppelin's ugly cousin. Interestingly enough both bands seem to start about very good and then trail off into boring rock. Riff rock - but ugly and sometimes that ugliness shines and sometimes meh. Cornucopia was possibly the best riff rock song. Changes is a ballad that teeters between endearing and sappy for me. Same with Laguna Sunrise. I probably wouldn't purposely listen to this again. Interesting to see some bands age like fine wine and others age quickly... it's easy to make mediocre stuff when you've already sold. I do really like Geezer's bass tone. I think it might be as simple as an open wah pedal, but it sits in the mix real nice and growls yet is fitting for some of the melodic stuff he does sometimes. 80

I enjoyed her ambient album from last year, but this is a whole different beast, in the best possible way. Incredible creativity and sound design. After one listen this is already one of my favorites of 2017 - wicked underrated. 4/5.

This is one of those albums that I am glad that I joined the canon list, because this is quite wonderful. The only complaint I would have for this album would be the high vocals on a couple of the songs. But even then, this is so good. Like a personal favorite for 2000. Grade:95

This is the most white, 70s, and British thing I think I've ever listened to... or at least it's been a very long time. And I might mean that in the worst possible way. 70. Which is sad because it started out kind of promising.
2. Because your list is suffering dearly (maybe some of the ones I don't know would be ok to listen to), the best thing I can give you is: Greatest Hits Platinum-Queen. Next it will be something I know nothing about. Also listening to all 100 albums from the year is impressive. I think I'd tap out... I might listen to 100 albums from that year, but I'd go searching within that year... HARD for better material. Kudos to you. And well, that's probably a bad prejudice, and perhaps you are having all kinds of great finds.

Another very cool album from Tap's chart. Baudelaire poetry recited over avant-garde electronic arrangements, released in 1969. The recitation is expressive, and is a perfect fit for the musical content, which is itself quite interesting. 4/5.

I'm too lazy to add the Natives In Black album at the moment, and it was also hard to listen to since I could not find a full album stream. A couple tracks I couldn't find at all, so here's the discogs page.
I haven't mentioned it thus far, but a lot of these are ridiculously priced and are hard to find an actual physical copy of, so the fact that they have all been available on line, up to this point, has been great.
This album was good and occasionally great. Sometimes it was just OK, but never bad. It's also interesting to note that this is another Boston hip hop group. It seems that Boston definitely had a scene, but the sound isn't really unique, and it seems to be borrowed from a variety of different 90s movements. This one skewed toward the hardcore (even a bit horrorcore with a "Halloween Theme" sample on a track) side.
BTW one of the members of this group is called "Rusty The Toe Jammer" which is one of the worst rap names I have ever heard.
Baystate, listen to Judee Sill.

The Mantle by Agalloch
I find Burzum's growl to be more believable. I don't mind a growl, but when it seems a bit forced/unrealistic/not tonal or cohesive to the work... it fails me. The production on this album is intriguing. It both is awesome and terrible. Awesome because it feels much more live and not over produced like many metal album suffer from. Having said that, it feels like my neighbor possibly recorded this record. It's not bad, but it is lacking... it felt like one of the fade outs was done by an unsteady hand.
So that's the negative, the positive, is this feels like a parallel universe I really like in The Smashing Pumpkins. The melancholic feel it gives. I will also say they aren't like Sigor Ros where they were able to combine many musical influences seamlessly... it felt more contrived. But still a solid record. It took me to some real places. 80-85.
2. Battlecat- Gumbo Roots (haha on the rapper name)... also are these any good or nearly shit? I mean as a whole. It seems from your last post it runs the gamut.

You know, it's funny, I really haven't listened to all that much of Kate Bush's discography, and I don't know why, because every time I listen to an album of her's that I haven't heard before, I'm reminded that I really dig Kate Bush. This was a good one, not as good as Hounds of Love for me, but better than The Dreaming I think.
Here's my list, still working with the overall for now:
488. Humbug - Arctic Monkeys
491. Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
539. The Mollusk - Ween
547. Out of the Blue - ELO
548. White Pony - Deftones
550. Tusk - Fleetwood Mac
561. Jar of Flies - Alice in Chains
565. Pretenders - The Pretenders
573. Silent Shout - The Knife
574. To Bring You My Love - PJ Harvey _________________ Progressive Rock
There's a lot to like about this album. The songwriting is good, the arrangements are pretty nice, and she has a beautiful voice. My main problem is one that I almost never have with any artist. Her vocal phrasing and her enunciation are very off-putting to me. They sound clunky and awkward, and often seem to fit poorly with the music. I had a similar problem with Heart Food, but I only started to figure out what seemed off about that one while listening to this record. Does anyone else have this problem with Judee Sill's music, or is it just me? I think this is a very good album anyway, but that's what's holding it back from being a favorite. 3.5/5.
