Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

5/5

"Satanic Reverses" would've been a favorite of mine back when this was released. It's a damn shame I missed out on this album at the time. "Television the Drug of the Nation" is another highlight.

An excellent bridge between eras of popular music from a versatile performer.

REALLY good. I've heard the band off and on, of course, but this is the first time I've sat down and closely listened to an album as a whole.

Nick Drake is amazing, and this album is the perfect tool to level you during a stressful day.

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

The back half of the album was solid - first half was uneven aside from the two well-known hits. I was surprised by how much I liked "Hold Back the Rain" and "New Religion."

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

I quite enjoyed this. I've long avoided The Smiths because Morrissey is a cunt, and I was a little young to appreciate them when they came out, but the album as a whole was very listenable.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

Bad Company

3/5

The album sounds like classic rock radio used to sound when I was a kid. There's a reason for this, I'm sure. Bad Company had obvious influences from Led Zeppelin to Cream to Deep Purple, but they made the sound their own.

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

Jangly electronic rock. I went into this blind, knowing Blue Monday but very little else. It was fun, and I can see why this is an important album, but I wasn't in the right mood for it.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

3/5

Not really for me, but I can appreciate the artistry.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

This album is a classic. Pretty much any latter-day GenX kid had it, or had a friend with it. Listening back, I can find seven or eight songs that have been on mixtapes of mine, and at least three that have been on recent playlists (within the past few years). Definitely a whole album worth listening to.

Went into this blind and discovered an artist I'd never heard. I really recommend.

Suzanne Vega

3/5

This was nice as background music. If I had been in a different mood, it would have definitely hit better.

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

3/5

Pretty standard mid-90s rock. The songs are okay, the music is okay. Not really list-worthy.

AC/DC

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

It's okay. Kind of atmospheric Enya-esque pop. It's good background noise.

5/5

Like the Pumpkins' album I saw earlier, this one was a staple for anyone in school when I was. It's a classic, and the songs are amazing. Kim Thayil's guitar sound is unique, and Chris Cornell's voice is unmistakable.

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

4/5

Strong start with the title track, and I'd never heard their excellent version of "Wild Mountain Thyme" before. The rest of the album sounds like a Byrds album. Definitely worth listening to when you're in the right mood.

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

1/5

This sounds like the kind of horrible jangly trash that dicks who work in record stores like to recommend just because it's obscure. Some music deserves obscurity.

Woodface

Crowded House

4/5

The songs on this album are well-crafted pop music. Heck, "Four Seasons in One Day" feels very much like it could have been a Beatles song, and other highlights such as "Weather With You" and "Fall at your Feet" still holding up today.

The Rise & Fall

Madness
