Back In Black
AC/DC
Good, fun listen. Although I have heard many of these songs to death it was still fresh listening. Not the most complex lyrically, but the guitar riffs and solos were incredible and straight-up cool. Favorite song is either Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution or Let Me Put My Love in You. I wouldn't say any song is bad, but You Shoot Me All Night Long and Back in Black were definitely somewhat annoying after listening to them for so long. TLDR fun, easy listening classic rock album, will revisit when in the mood, 6/8.

Rush
Fuck Tom Sawyer is a good song. Fuck Red Barchetta is a good song. Carried by the first half of the album, although I enjoyed Witch Hunt. I wouldn't say the bottom of the album is bad, but it just starts so fucking strong with Tom Sawyer and Barchetta that it is hard for the rest of the album to match in quality. It's Rush, what can I say. Drums are fucking spectacular and riffs are clean as hell. Lyrics are great as the band comments on fame and societal pressure throughout the album. Favorite song Red Barchetta/Tom Sawyer. Least favorite The Camera Eye, goes on for too long for what it is. Overall 7/8.

Fucking loved it, Green River was great and Bad moon rising. Yeah, they're the biggest hits off the album but they are too fucking good. The whole project was great and, blending my love of folk and rock music. I am definitely biased here as this is my favorite era of rock, but it's my rating so who gives a fuck. I don't think it is perfect, but 5 stars because of the limitations of the rating system on the website. I will return to this in the future, 7.5/8.

Born In The U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen
I feel like a 60-year-old dad and it's great. Born in the USA is a classic, but a little too worn for me. I'm on Fire was Still nice, and refreshingly relaxed. The whole album is a fucking vibe I don't know what to say. I don't think it does anything particularly special, it just does everything well. No surrender/Glory Days are probably my favorites. Not perfect, but enjoyable as all hell, will be revisiting this, 7/8.

While this project is massive in size, the song length and variety makes it an immensely pleasant listen. The album touches on topics like the Vietnam war, and at some points seems like a mix of soft metal, soft punk, punk, jazz and the combination of all of it. Probably my favorite listen so far. The diversity of the album makes me want to re listen to it over and over again. 8/8! favorite songs Corona, Dr.Wu.

Enjoyed it, definitely a classic, but not my cup of tea. The weird miss of slow, grand songs with acoustics really threw me off, especially with something like Nothing Else Matters.

Liked it decently, nice to have it as one of the first hip-hop albums on the list. Feels find ahead of its time but weren't really what I was looking for. The slow vocal samples and delivery on songs like Pumpkin really didn't do it for me. Hell is Round the Corner has a classic beat, but the content wasn't really there. Didn't enjoy my listen and just wanted to get on to the next album.
