The Beatles - Let It Be

Let It Be. The last album they made. They hated each other by the end. Aw, man. I thought these silly happy hippy fucks would cheer me up but listening to this album, thinking about their silly horseshit, it bums me out. All you need is love. They loved each other. Wasn't enough, was it? Were they ever not full of shit? I dunno man. On to the next one. Only got... half a fucking dozen left. How many albums did these assholes make? God damn. Nothing if not prolific, these well-intentioned hypocrites.

Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner

So this one cleaned up nicely and plays well. I like Tom Waits. But I like old creepy The Black Rider, Tom Waits, not young, hip, witty Tom Waits. This is cool and all and I might play it at a party for background. I don't think I'd ever play it on my own. Nice live double album though and it's in pretty good shape so that's cool. I just really prefer Tom Waits' work from after he embraced the dark side of the force. This is from before.

The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed

Every single song on this album is incredible. Every single god damned song. Is. Incredible. This may be my favorite find so far.

This is probably my favorite Stones album so it's a shame how poorly it plays. I cleaned it up and it's not warped. It doesn't have any visible scratches on it and my needle is good and clean. But it crackles a lot the whole time. Not so bad that it's not listenable. But it's noticeable the entire time. The first song, "Gimme Shelter," is probably my favorite track. The best part of that song is the backing vocal by Merry Clayton. The entire album is great though. It opens in side one with my favorite Stones song and closes side two with "You Can't Always Get What You Want," probably their most famous song. There's a county version of "Honkey Tonk Women" called "Country Honk." The title track is incredible. "Midnight Rambler." "Monkey Man." Almost every song on here belongs on a Rolling Stones greatest hits album. Most of them probably have been. I love this album.
