Los Umbrellos - Flamenco Funk: 4.5 stars

Not only am I the only person who knows of this album, I am the only who loves it. They made it just for me. A minor masterwork of kitsch.

Sonic Youth - The Walls Have Ears: 7.5 (high B+)

Decent bootleg of very good live performance. Purchased when officially released.

Thomas Mapfumo - Ndangariro: 10 (A+)

Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city: 3.5 stars

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly: 3.5 stars

Do not get the hype on this one or the prior one.

Sonic Youth - Confusion is Sex: 3.5 stars

I have the reissue with the Kill Yr. Idols EP.

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique: 10 (A+)

In my top three of all time.

Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet: 5 stars

The Goats - Tricks of the Shade: 5 stars

Murs - The End of the Beginning: 3.5 stars

Thought about ditching this, but some critics I admire grade it at A minus level, and he has connections to Aesop Rock and Slug, so I'll shelve it.
