Fear Of A Black Planet
Public Enemy
Accidentally started listening on shuffle 💀💀💀
Sound effects are sometimes a bit weird and date the sound of the music, like one of those shitty radio DJs
Quite a few instrumentals, not a fan 😬
Some of the songs are a bit too long
MESSY
Faves - Who Stole The Soul?, Welcome to the Terrordome, Fear of a Black Planet, Revolutionary Generation
No songs saved or added to playlists
Overall - not bad or unlistenable! Just v messy and a bit dated, not really for me
Would I check out their other music - probably not

Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan
Kind of elevator/hold music vibes??
Dated but in a more funky way than album 1 at least!
Jazzy Rock vibes in the first few songs
This is fully dad music but not even in a bad way?
Not super keen on the vocals/lyrics
Faves - Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Night by Night, Barrytown, Easy St Louis Toodle-oo
No songs saved or added to playlists
Overall - fun! I like the mixing of genres and there's some really cool sounding bits. Not my usual listen or the kind of music I would usually seek out myself but it was pretty refreshing!
Would I check out their other music - maybe but probably not

Brown Sugar
D'Angelo
Smoooooooth
A little bit dated, not my usual thing
Very slow, slow jams. Songs are done well this just isn't for me. A little bit repetitive/boring. Songs are a bit longer than necessary
Feels like some of these songs just don't go anywhere? All very lowkey
Great vocals!
Faves - Brown Sugar

Overall - alright music, just not really for me

Pearl Jam
Guitars sound great but this old man yelling really does not 💀💀💀
🦆🦆
I just wish this man could sing so I could actually enjoy this ðŸ˜
The actual music/instruments are really good though, just being ruined!
Faves - Even Flow, Why Go, Porch
No songs saved or added to playlists
Overall - could be a solid rock album, if only someone else sang on it ðŸ˜
Would I check out their other music - no
Rating 2/5 (the vocals COMPLETELY ruined this for me)

Ryan Adams
... It's okay?
Bit bland. Sounds older than 2001
Kind of into the harmonica use?
Very lowkey, easy listening. Lot of slow songs, slower ones are a bit dull.
Too long! Also the last few songs try too hard to be fun, would be better if they were shorter and vocals improved
Faves - Firecracker, Answering Bell, Enemy Fire
No songs saved or added to playlists
Overall - okay! Not really for me. Some fun instrumentals but also pretty dull in parts

Jack Takes the Floor
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Ugh...
This album is from 2015 so the old timey sound is on purpose and I really don't like it
It's so fake I really don't like this. Like this guy wants to be a redneck so badly and I hate it. I feel like this guy probably recorded this with a piece of wheat hanging out his mouth. Uggggghhhh
Nothing about this interests me, the music is dull and repetitive and the vocals are so fake and put on.
Okay so I've skimmed this album and skipped ahead in some of these songs and there is nothing for me in this. I'm not finishing this one
Faves - HAHA
No songs saved or added to playlists
Overall - nahhhhh

Beyond Skin
Nitin Sawhney
This is okay!
Good vocals, interesting production
Some of these songs are a bit too long
Not keen on the rapping?
These songs really do not need to be 5/6 mins 💀💀 they're repetitive enough as it is
The genre mixing is cool though!
Faves - Broken Skin
Overall - some interesting ideas, but most of the songs are just way too long and repetitive

Live And Dangerous
Thin Lizzy
Why is a live album even on this list?
Overall this is good! Songs are kind of just fine, sound pretty good but nothing stands out that much, guitars decent, good quality for a live album
This rendition of The Boys are Back in Town is a bit iffy (as are the vocals on a few other songs)
A bit repetitive in sound have had to skim through the second half
Faves - Jailbreak, Massacre
Overall - Okay! Not really into live albums but it's good quality and music's good. Musically just a bit repetitive
Rating - 3/5

The Sun Rises In The East
Jeru The Damaja
9.
There's a jump in the intro? Someone didn't edit this properly 💀
The piano is literally terrible
It just sounds incomplete and messy
They need a proper pianist so bad ðŸ˜
Vocally completely fine!
Mental Stamina could have been good if not for the weird high pitched sound throughout, makes it almost unlistenable. It also stutters a bit and it just sounds wrong???
Faves - Da Bichez, You Can't Stop The Prophet, Ain't The Devil Happy
Overall - I had to listen to half this album before getting to something even somewhat listenable...
Lyrics/vocals fine, music BAD

Cohesive but songs are all pretty different and distinct

Overall - I enjoyed this! Good solid rock music, fun to listen to

The Sounds Of India
Ravi Shankar
This appears to be an instructional album on how to play Indian music???
Did not finish because why would I want to listen to this?

Groovin'
The Young Rascals
Really not feeling this - like musically and vocally it's fine but it's so outdated?
Like a knockoff of The Beatles?
Did not finish, just not interesting to me

...And Justice For All
Metallica
First song way better than the rest
Songs are a bit long, especially the intros
Like does any song need to be almost ten minutes long? No.
After a while the songs all blend into one, nothing really stands out. Bit dull
Faves - Blackened
Overall - just fine, songs are too long and a bit boring
Rating - 2/5

The College Dropout
Kanye West
The skits 💀
All of these songs are good! Not all to my taste but solid vocals and production
Obviously I already know Jesus Walks but fuck this song is incredible!
(what went wrong Kanye 😠where did this Kanye go?!)
Okay so some of the weird in song jokes/skits are kind of funny
... could have done without the TWELVE MINUTE LONG Song at the end
Faves - All Falls Down, Spaceship, Jesus Walks, The New Workout Plan, Through The Wire
Overall - a great album! I really enjoyed this
