By the time of this 1965 release, Dylan had already proven himself a lyrical master and a new legend in the folk universe. With his electrified performance at the Newport Folk Festival, and this half-electric/half-acoustic LP, he showed that he was not only far from done with pushing the envelope, but that he'd really only begun. In particular, his music and subject matter were now catching up to his revolutionary words and lyrical structures.The album opens full-bore with the blistering word-puzzle "Subterranean Homesick Blues." Backed by a vamping electric blues band Dylan is at once a protesting outsider, a sardonic social critic, and a free-associating poet. It stands on it's own as an incredible piece of rock music, but as the introduction to Dylan's fifth LP it was something of a warning shot. The electric blues return for the near-rockabilly arrangement of "Maggie's Blues" and a Chuck Berry (ala "Memphis") styled "Outlaw Blues." In between, Dylan crafted extraordinary ballads, including the acidic "She Belongs to Me" and one of his best-ever love songs, "Love Minus Zero/No Limit."
Side two (tracks 7-11) retreats to mostly acoustic presentations, but even here Dylan expanded upon his earlier work with surreal stories like "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" and the poetic folk-rock standard "Mr. Tambourine Man." The latter stretches to over 5-1/2 minutes and includes a trio of verses dropped by The Byrds in their hit cover. One of the album's most effective cuts is the 7-1/2 minute "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding," a song Dylan had been performing live for several months before recording it. Though recorded with only an acoustic guitar, the venomous lyrics spare no target in their criticism, providing as much fire as any of the electric tunes on side one.
All in all, this is as good a portrait of Dylan's inventions as can be found. It's a showcase for his brilliant writing, his evolving musical exposition and his ability to parlay his unconventional voice into some of the world's most expressive and effective vocals.

B5 The Aura"In 1975, George Duke was dabbling in R&B vocals. But instrumental jazz-fusion was still his primary focus, and he had yet to be played extensively on any of the genres' stations. When The Aura Will Prevail came out that year, no one bought the LP for its occasional R&B vocal -- the main attraction was Duke's keyboard playing. "Fools" is a melancholy soul ballad that finds him singing lead and predicts what was to come on R&B-oriented releases like Don't Let Go (1978) and Master of the Game (1979), but it isn't typical of the album on the whole.
This is a fusion effort first and foremost, and Duke has plenty of room to stretch out and improvise on instrumentals that range from the insistent "Floop de Loop" to the Brazilian-influenced "Malibu" (which shouldn't be confused with the Hole/Courtney Love gem). Two of the songs were written or co-written by Frank Zappa: the fusion instrumental "Echidna's Arf" and the gospel-minded soul item "Uncle Remus" (another tune that gives Duke a chance to sing lead). Without question, The Aura Will Prevail is among this artist's finest fusion-oriented albums." (AllMusic review by Alex Henderson)

This is considered one of the best Wu-Tang solo efforts. Produced by Wu-Tang ''Abbot'' (never wanting to be known as leader) the RZA. the sparse beats and Ol' Dirty Bastards radical vocal style make this a very entertaining and origional Hip Hop record.The intro for this record features Ol' Dirty Bastard introducing himself as Russel Jones, the now clich line of ''never before in the history of rap'' features, which always leads for me to doubt a record. His crack addiction is very prominent on this record, saying alot of things wrong, and generally slurring and stuttering his way through. He begins mock crying and singing as well. It's only really worth listening to every now and again, as the rest of the album is excellent. Good introduction for the first listen, but at almost five minutes, not worth it everytime.
''We have only 35 Chambers, there is no 36''
The instantly recognisable piano loop for Shimmy Shimmy Ya, kicks in after the obligitary Wu-Tang film sample. This track sounds like a missing song from Enter the 36 Chambers, with its sparse and heavy beats, and ODB's erratic vocal rasp grabbing the listeners attention. The line of ''Oh baby I like it raw'' will stick in your head for sure. This song is quite short, but its repetitive beat may have become too annoying if it was longer, a highlight of the album.
Baby C'mon has deeper bass, and distant guitar effects as opposed to the piano loop of single Shimmy Shimmy Ya, the deeper sound draws more attention to Ol' Dirty Basartds vocals, this is the first song on the album to recycle a line from Enter the 36 Chambers, the chant of ''Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang'' will be a treat for any fan of the origional 36 chambers. This is a great showcase of ODB's vocal style, with alot of lines starting as raps and ending up as slurred singing, in a great contrast to the steady bass lines.
The next song Brooklyn Zoo is the best track on the album, another piano loop, this time however, the loop is much more jaunted than on Shimmy Shimmy Ya, and there is more rapping than Shimmy Shimmy Ya also, with some great lines such as, ''I drop science like Cosby droppin' babies, enough to make a nigga go craaazy!'' this is a very aggressive track, with a very heavy and a fast beat, for the Wu-Tang Clan. Although, Ol' Dirty Bastard is not the greatest Hip Hop Lyricist, this is him at his best, and his delivery of his lyrics is whats important to focus on with his work. The song ends with Ol' Dirty Basard samples of ''shame on ya'' reminiscent of Shame on a Nigga from Enter the 36 Chambers.
Another piano loop introduces Hippa To Da Hoppa, which then dissapears to another sparse mixed soul beat. With guitar notes ringing in the background, with occassional electronic organs reminiscent of early New York Hip Hop. The piano loop returns to finish off this track. This is another short track, which is even shorter as there is a martial arts skit at the end. This one is mostly memorable for its chorus, this is one of the more relaxed tracks on the album.
The next track features Method Man of Wu-Tang Clan fame, this one starts with ODB's singing after a gloating introduction. Another mixed soul beat (it sounds like it is played backwards) ODB boasts about still being on welfare on this track, a design based on his welfare card adorns the cover of this record. Method Man makes a good effort on this track, although I find the repeated metions of period blood annoying for this track. ODB challenges his own namesake, by claiming that the style isnt new, its something old and dirty.
