Waco Brothers & Paul Burch - Great Chicago Fire: liked

:-)

The Cars - Candy-O: 8.5 (high A-)

The Cars - The Cars: 8 (A-)

The Cars - Complete Greatest Hits: 9 (A)

Same tracks as The Definitive, released in the same year [2002], just with a different running order. Contains all tracks from Greatest Hits [1985], except "Heartbeat City."

Iggy Pop - The Idiot: 8 (A-)

Iggy Pop - Lust for Life: 8.5 (high A-)

Ijahman - Are We a Warrior: 8 (A-)

Iggy Pop - New Values: 7 (B+)

Iggy Pop - Soldier: 7 (B+)

With Glen Matlock and Ivan Kral

The Upsetters [Lee "Scratch" Perry] - Super Ape: 7 (B+)

Perhaps upped a notch for general regard. Not sure why people think this is so great.

Ustad Massano Tazi - Maroc: Musique Classique Andalouse de Fes [Ocora, 1988]: notation

Can't find this to stream anywhere. I would buy this sound unheard because it intrigues me, but the price isn't right for that. I did listen to some of this artist's other work on YouTube that I could find, which supported this decision. I hope it becomes streamable one day.

Grace Jones - The Best of Grace Jones: 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: 7.5 (high B+)

Goes on for too long. #bestof

Katie Alice Greer - Perfect Woman Sound Machine, Vol. 1: 8 (A-)

Vinyl-only. I would probably make an exception for her, but not at $30 shipped for eight songs at 26 minutes.

Montrose - Montrose: liked

Might be a 7 (B+), but none of the songs are sticking after four plays.

Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Upsetters - Cloak & Dagger: neutral

:-|

Iggy Pop - Instinct: liked

Not as bad as many people say it is. Also doesn’t seem like #69 “heavy metal” album of all time (as per Kerrang), not that I'm an expert in the genre.

Lee "Scratch" Perry and Bullwackie - Satan's Dub: liked

Dub version of Perry’s Satan Kicked the Bucket.

Tradition - Captain Ganja and the Space Patrol: liked

:-)

Eric Lou Root - Don't Worry: disliked

Getting through three plays was a chore.

Al Green - Full of Fire: 8 (A-)

Lee "Scratch" Perry - batch review

All of these have been on the shelf for many years. I don't want to grade from memory, so I'll grade them the next time I play them.

Lord God Muzick

Who Put the Voodoo 'pon Reggae

From the Secret Laboratory

Panic in Babylon

Live Maritime Hall

Hieroglyphics - 3rd Eye Vision: 7.5 (high B+)

Souls of Mischief - 93 'til Infinity: 8.5 (high A-)

Title track is one of the best hip hop songs of all time, if you ask me.

Lou Reed - Walk on the Wild Side: The Best of Lou Reed: 8 (A-)

Almost got a copy for completeness sake, but I have all tracks except for "Nowhere at All," the b-side to the single "Charley's Girl" from Coney Island Baby.

Various - Love Train: The Sound of Philadelphia: 8.5 (high A-)

I also had The Philly Sound 1966-1976: Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff & The Story of Brotherly Love, which is essentially an earlier, less comprehensive version of this.
