An explosion of hard-edged guitar funk. A pleasure to listen to "Mama Said" has an exceptional sound. Kravitz's songs are tuneful, unapologetically retro and he wears his influences on his sleeve;John Lennon,Curtis Mayfield,Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone are blended into a cohesive whole while making it his own. Kravitz has a chameleon like ability to slide effortless in and out of music styles. Superb arrangements, folksy feel , soulful vibes, fuzzy hard rock, deep dark grooves,sweeping strings, lush harmonies and Psychedelic sounds all add to this outstanding album.

"Dusk at Cubist Castle" incorporates a bunch of influences and textures, synthesizes them into a distinctly shimmering harmonies, guitar drones, backward tape loops, and inventive effects. This is a remarkable psychedelic tapestry, full of eccentric dreamscapes and curious spaced–out music.An unique and unforgettable album.

Ok, a 60 rating. I have a couple handfuls that you have charted. I know most but not listened to those albums. But don't know more that are on your chart.
I have added your no. One to my wishlist to listen to it. (Edited)

Great chart! Love the obvious picks like Grace and Summerteeth, but I also appreciate your inclusion of bands like Olivia Tremor Control. I've heard them but haven't really spent the time to really get into them. Maybe now's the time!

Great list, it has the goods of Grunge, and the impressive crooner metal records of Danzig, and in the end we see the noisy masterpieces of Nine Inch Nails and My Bloody Valentine!

We've got several records in common here. Of the stuff we don't have in common Apples in Stereo and Olivia Tremor Control are the only things I like that didn't make my chart.
