American Pie

Don McLean

5/5

Starts off with "American Pie," which I believed is overplayed, but has an interesting history. "Vincent" is a beautiful song about Vincent Van Gogh and drew tears from me as I have contemplated the purpose of living. The rest of the album has melancholy folk tunes, with "Everybody Loves Me, Baby" throwing off the vibe a little, but resettles as the album finishes.

Honestly, despite the hits like Heart of Glass and One Way or Another, not that good of an album. Was disappointed:/

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

Has some really good songs, and overall the album is good. A nice sort of solo chill album. Not all the songs are zingers, but it is a nice length at 35 minutes.

American Pie

Don McLean

5/5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Nice concept album. Storyline focused on love with songs alternating between songs with Lauryn Hill and a classroom discussing love. One of my favorite 1990's albums so far.

The Slider

T. Rex

3/5

"Metal Guru" is an entertaining upbeat first track. Overall feel very mellow with hints of T. REX's psychedelic rock past. Reminds me some other 60's psychedelic rock group, but remember which now.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

Definitely displays Prince's range and diversity in songs. I wasn't too much a fan of the album overall, but it did have some good songs with provocative lyrics like "If I Was Your Girlfriend"

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

Very positive, yet lower-key alternative rock album. "Lovefool" is a classic from the album, but the other songs blend together nicely and have a good sound to them.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

4/5

Starts off with a sick backbeat, and the song "Allison" is great! Omg I didn't know "Watching the Detectives" was from this album! Nice quick listen with nice vibes.

Teen Dream

Beach House

3/5

Beach House is a mellow, psychedelic, vibe for stewing in the atmosphere, but not my favorite of their work. Still good, but they hadn't refined their signature musical sound quite yet.

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

A classic shoe gaze album that defined the genre. Personally not my favorite shoe gaze album (I prefer Cocteau Twins), but still overall decent to listen to.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

3/5

Crazysexycool

TLC

3/5

One of their most famous albums, but not really my type of sound. Decent to listen to, with some classics like Waterfall.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

4/5

First song is a old indie country bop, and the rest is good country songs if i am in the mood for that relaxing country
