Re: Attention Seekers - An album game for overwhelmed people

I was surprised to learn just now that Cole is the 103rd most listened to artist on Spotify, which I’d never expect from someone of his time period, save perhaps Sinatra. Maybe it’s just because I never paid him much mind myself. I guess there is some sense in it though, as this goes down so easily...

Re: Innervisions or Songs in the Key of Life?

I would say Innervisions. I generally prefer single albums that I can listen to while keeping interest the whole time, and it's hard to do that with double albums. There's almost always a few tracks that I don't care for, and when there's a couple of really stand-out tracks on that album, that diffe...

Re: Attention Seekers - A silly album game for overwhelmed people

I think Ellington Uptown is one of Ellington's better albums. In particular I love this rendition of Take the A Train, and The Mooche is well done as well. I don't know if you listened to it, but the expanded edition of the album includes songs from his Liberian Suite which was originally on a diffe...

Albums of the 70s

A few years ago I embarked upon an attempt to listen to all the albums listed on this site. I've made a post for albums of the 50s, 60s, and now 70s (I've listened to all the songs listed up to this point as well, but feel that listing them would be too long, so I shall just continue with albums lik...

Albums of the 60s

A few years ago I decided to listen to the albums from this site in chronological order. I've made a post for the 50s, and having finished listening to albums from the 60s, I'll cover them in this post. Before that though, I'll note a few changes to my methodology. First, I've stopped listening to a...

Re: Albums of 2022 Discussion Thread

Regarding the SZA album my initial reaction is moderate disappointment. CTRL was one of my favorite albums of the last decade, and any artist would struggle to follow that up. But my disappointment largely stems from the length. I'm not sure how widespread the sentiment is, but I'm pretty strongly b...
