You Want It Darker

Interesting, but I can't see actually listening to it repeatedly

Crowded House · 1 likes

3/5

Had never heard of this band before. I liked them, and they have a cool, fresh sound but it didn't wow me either. A good easy listen, but I'm not itching to revisit immediately

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

5/5

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Classic album. I love it, but it can be overly dramatic/over the top at times. Still, it is quite a journey across a complete album and has just some epic, amazing songs.

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

Enjoyed this more than I thought. A lot of the songs sound kind of the same and not all of them were super interesting, but there were some good ones and I appreciated the generally upbeat songs.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

Not really my thing, but there are some fun songs and interesting sounds in here. They definitely have a different sound which is somewhere between alt rock and punk.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

2/5

Too much

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

I can't help but feel like Bruce is a bit cheesy, maybe it is just how much his songs are played. Still, I can't deny this album 5 stars. There are at least 5 epic songs on here.

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Not my favorite Beatles album but there are some great songs - Rigby, She Said, She Said, etc. Wish I could score 4.5

Woodface

Crowded House

Had never heard of this band before. I liked them, and they have a cool, fresh sound but it didn't wow me either. A good easy listen, but I'm not itching to revisit immediately
