Moby Grape by Moby Grape

You know there's a bit of this I really liked. I heard some CSNY or Lovin' Spoonful or Allman Brothers all kinda mixed together here. There were moments were I was like I could see me really digging this as much as I do those artists. But I didn't. In fairness the "youtube" playlist I found was frustrating too, so maybe that played a role. Anyway, 80/3.5.

Escape From Evil by Lower Dens
Very solid, sweet and melancholic alternative/art pop. A lot of rehashed 80s aesthetics which work very well. I ought to give this one some more listens in the future. 7.5/10

Aja by Steely Dan

My first Steely Dan experience. A very jazzy and smooth rock album that would be good background music. The highlights for me were Black Cow and Peg, which I was already familiar with due to MF Doom and De La Soul. I can't deny the high quality of the music, even if it was all a little too light and shiny for my taste. 3.5/5.

The Sad Return by Marble Sky

Not anything revelatory musically, but one of those nice ambient albums that you can put on at anytime and be at ease. Will listen to again.

BTW, here's another nice RYM Chart for y'all to look at full of this kind of stuff. https://rateyourmusic.com/list/nakedfla...-and-hiss/

Baystate, I love several of those, but I like Replica by OPN the most.

Blues Breakers by John Mayall & Eric Clapton

Fantastic guitar playing of course. Songwriting was ok to pretty good. It reminds me of a dude I jam with (who reminds me of the Dude) and he's always like... dude I love playing all kinds of music, except 12 bar blues... anything but that. Please. Any idea why all these white dudes started doing blues rock in the 60s? I mean nothing against it. I really dig Allman Brothers (although I see that as much blues rock as it is jam band/southern rock). Anyway, the guitar playing makes this a worthy record, but really the blues/lyrics aspect of it doesn't feel terribly believable to me. 80/3.5. Picked up the lick sounding just like "The Walk", but dunno if they credited that.

Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot by Sparklehorse

This is the first thing I have ever heard from Sparklehorse. I had never heard of him until BEA. What a great album! First of I love the sound of his voice, reminds me of Grandaddy a bit and I love his voice too. So much emotion coming through. Then the music is great from the lo-fi acoustic songs to the noisier indie rock. And good variety breaking up the sad and melancholic songs with some upbeat rockier songs. From what I could tell the lyrics were heartfelt and I look forward to discovering more of them in future listens. Overall I found this a sincerely moving album. 8.5/10, 4/36 for 1995, and I am putting it in my '90s chart at 74/100.


I would like to hear Triangle by The Beau Brummels most out of those.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels

Wow. Super glad I got the chance to check this out. Lush like I like LPs to be. Easily an alternative to S&G's Baroque pop I really dig (even if I don't think it'd ever overtake it). 4/85. Chillin' at home sick, so look forward to another soon maybe?

EDIT: Makes a lot of sense I liked this - Sly Stone helped shaped their early career (but doesn't look like he produced this album).

2. You liked Sparklehorse a lot, so double dip? (Otherwise I'd say Black On Both Sides by Mos Def), but yeah, Sparkle horse?

Nothing Was The Same by Drake
It started so good, and it quickly went to shit. Tuscan Leather may be the best thing I've heard from him, and no matter what I think of his albums and attempts at writing hits, he has several of those incredible album cuts (Marvin's Room, The Real Her...) which are fantastic. Tuscan Leather and the last song, Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2 are the examples on this album. Too Much with Sampha was nice, there were a few decent songs and some good moments on the whole thing, but overall it felt much more like Drake I knew from his singles than the Take Care album which I somewhat liked. I feel like an old fart for saying this, but I really don't dig this pop rap with prominent trap beats which is dominating Drake's music. I guess I was bound to dislike an album in this game eventually. 4/10

Edit: Don't know what I was looking at. Anyways, RoundTheBend go for Jacques Brel

Replica by Oneohtrix Point Never

Wow, this is ! Probably the best thing I've heard from Daniel Lopatin yet, and I've loved everything I've heard. He has a really outstanding talent for creating immersive, detailed soundscapes. And in this case, he's created them out of 80s and 90s commercials, which adds a cool conceptual element. Really dope album. Starting it at a high 4/5.

Run The Jewels 2 by Run The Jewels
Yeah I'm not sure how I haven't gotten around to Run The Jewels yet. Anyways it's every bit as good as it says on the internets, even though it did feel just a bit stale in the middle. But that's maybe cause I'm tired. And the feats are incredibly cool, they managed to make Zack de la Rocha sound honest when he's rapping in his 2000 dollar shirt. Also Travis Barker? Initial reaction when I saw his name written was "What in tarnations were they thinking?" And of course the song slaps. Damn I wish I listened to this earlier. Tight, fantastic production, killer lines. Goes straight to my 2010s chart after a few more listens. 8.5/10
