i’m halfway through this album. it feels like one terrible long song. its repetitive and every song overstays it’s welcome. i strongly dislike it. i can’t wait for it to be over.

i could see why other people might like this… but i don’t. it’s slow and repetitive. some songs feel like good music to fall asleep to. others absolutely overstay their welcome. i’m not getting anything from it.

Raw Power

The Stooges

3/5

i kinda love the album cover. nothing on this is boring me, it’s sonically interesting. but it’s just ok overall. the screaming was kinda grating. i’m kinda feeling “i need somebody”.

seriously wondering how this album made it on this list. its not bad but i don't understand why its considered "need to listen to before you die!!!" 2.5

The Coral

2/5

felt like it was trying to hard to hit all of the sounds it did. it was ok enough to listen to but i don't see the point in coming back to it when i'm sure other people have done this sound better.

Joan Armatrading

3/5

easy listening! she has a beautiful voice.

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

2/5

boring and kinda sad.

Violator

Depeche Mode

i'm feeling the dark dancey vibes depeche mode brought to the table with this album! nothing's really standing out but i would definitely put this on again to work to. these songs feel like vampire jams.

Terence Trent D'Arby

3/5

i liked it! "seven more days", "let's go forward", & "sign your name" are nice.

The Rising

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

kinda long but really easy to listen to. i'm absolutely not mad at this. feels like "sitting outside at a big park watching the band play while drinking beer with family and friends" music. kinda nondescript.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

the album cover makes me nervous and feels like it was directly ripped from my nightmare. album was pretty good though. i love "down in a hole". the album became more depressing as i read more about the lead singer.

Pump

Aerosmith

3/5

even though "janie's got a gun" sounds like the most 1989 song ever i still enjoyed it. the voodoo song was cool too and probably my favorite on the album.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

2/5

thought the music would be more interesting because of the cover but alas... i was disappointed. another album where i wonder why it was on this list. i like the dave matthew's cover "time of the season" better! 2.5

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

3.5! good music to read to

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

2/5

the album cover and title go hard. it was easy enough to listen to but i think some songs were a little too long. i wouldnt listen to it again but i didn't hate it, 2.5

Pornography

this album really is "Total Trash".

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

3/5

its fine, i thought it was ok to listen to. some interesting sounds. didn't love the lead singer's voice. i understand punk albums can be longer bc the songs are so short but 40 tracks still coming up at an hour? and nothing on here was particularly memorable or groundbreaking to me that it should've been included on this list. still though, it was cool to listen to.

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds
