Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

the epitome of glam rock. it made me desperately want to watch him perform this live. the keys! the sax! his vocals! he's just oozing charisma that's funky, ostentatious, and wild, making you feel like if you had a night out on the town with him it would be the craziest and most fun night. some may say it's unfocused, but I think the disparate stories under this funky glam rock persona cater to Aladan Sane - he's dynamic, chromatic, fluid, and a bit mad.

Roxy Music

3/5

i don't want to give it a full four because there were some songs where i was like ok hmmm this is too weird for me but some of them were just weird enough where i was really enjoying it. the first half of the album was super fun and unique to listen to, they have their own sound and have fun experimenting with it. if i could give 3.5 i would, if the latter half of the album didn't go off the rails it would be 4

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

my dad thinks that people who like jefferson airplane are rich kids who dodged the war because they were rich and think they're deeper than they actually are which honestly makes sense but this album was decent

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

oscillating bw a 4 and a 5. this album is no skip primarily in the beginning but overall each song needs to be studied and jammed to on their own. the songwriting is incredible and studying each song more would definitely feel more confident giving this album a 5. polly for example is such a smart and effective way to write about women’s experience with sexual abuse and shedding light on it through music; it's terrifying, and singing as the abuser produces such an eerie and uncomfortable effect and makes you hate the abuser and feel immense sympathy for "Polly". knowing how much kurt cobain championed women and women's autonomy provides more context, but this song as a whole is so well done. ending with something in the way closes out the album so well since it starts so "angry" and active, but ends calmer while still maintaining that angst and grunge.

NEU! 75

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

good for a classic rock album, i like mix of long songs and shorter songs. they all started to mesh together though in theme, it seemed like they were trying to hard to be macho rock n rollers.

3/5

so good! but like 2-3 solid songs

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

3/5

a ton of songs that are only 2ish minutes long which i really like because rly complements the fast-paced, energetic punk rock genre so you just get spurts of different songs to rock out to, but they all kinda mesh together

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

4/5

this is the second day in a row i got wilco and i am riding this high. i really only liked the songs with jeff tweedy singing but this album was a great combo of the two - neither lost their voice but actually complemented each other.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

4/5

legend

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

3/5

her voice is angelic

Opus Dei

Laibach

1/5

tbh it sounded like nazi propaganda. there's literally a song called how the west was won

LP1

FKA twigs

4/5

she is immaculate angel sent from heaven above

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

really cool integration of classic rock with hop on a lot of the tracks, a ton of energy and personality coming from them to make it really fun to listen to lyrically and musically, some of it sounds the same from track to track but overall unique and clearly definitive of hip hop's golden age

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

he has a beautiful and calm voice and is a classic folk revivalist so his lyrics are very compelling, but overall it wasn't anything special

4/5

a classic that doesn't age

1977

Ash

3/5

Stuck because it was solid classic garage rock and there were a few great songs individually but the album didn't have a distinct vision or sound. prob 3.5 if I could

3/5

enjoyed it more than i thought i would - post punk, post industrial album with a few songs that really hit the mark. altogether, could have had shortened some of the interludes and the angsty vocals

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

3/5

i never could get into leonard cohen (although appreciate his lyricism) but this was a really cool one. the hyper 80s production didn't really age well but the album felt complete and full, not over or underdone. really felt like you could feel his character in his voice too

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall
