1/5

Holy crap this is terrible. Literal sonic garbage. I would rather go completely deaf then listen to this album again.

Brothers

The Black Keys · 9 likes

5/5

One of my favorite albums, by one of my favorite bands. It's not as rough and raw as Thickfreakness, nor is it as polished and dreamy as Turn Blue. This album is perfectly in the middle, and perfectly situated the Black Keys as one of the best rock bands in a generation.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails · 4 likes

1/5

This album is too obviously crafted to unironically contain the lyrics: "I just don't care anymore" The songs are mostly dull, build up to nowhere, and I value my hearing too much to turn it up enough to actually hear the vocals on most of them. The highlight of the album is the final song, which is only interesting because Cash covered it.

1/5

Good grief this album is boring. Slow, ambient, thoroughly unenjoyable. I can't find a single redeeming quality off this album.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys · 1 likes

2/5

Overall an entertaining album, definitely overstays it's welcome. The vocals are pretty different from most other music I've listened to but I appreciate the beat on most of the songs. Also some sick Dylan, Hendrix, and Cash references in there.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Takes me back to playing guitar in jazz band during high school. Some real classics on here as well!

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

It's the Beatles what more can I say! I haven't actually listened to this album before, but I enjoy most of the rest of their discography and this album has significantly sitar so that's a plus.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Experimental in a good way, fun piano based rock!

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

Surprisingly relaxing, I think this a good background music album. I might start listening to this as my "I need to work and focus" music!

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

2/5

I've never been a big fan of Crosby, Still, and Nash. This album hasn't really changed my mind, it was somewhat dull and doesn't flow exceptionally well. The highlight of the album is "Cowboy Movie".

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

3/5

There's some cool sounds here. Lord knows I love a good ska album. This was, overall, kind of flat unfortunately. I don't feel that the hard rock elements melded well with the other sounds on the album.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

1/5

Good grief this album is boring. Slow, ambient, thoroughly unenjoyable. I can't find a single redeeming quality off this album.

Black Sabbath

4/5

It doesn't reach the peaks of its successor, but I think this is a more consistent album throughout. The back half is surprisingly good, and includes a gosh dang jawharp. Hell it gets bluesy towards the end.

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

Ah yes. Back when pop music was basically blues based rock. Fun sounds, though not especially inspired lyrics. I can hear the echoes of this album in lots of contemporary rock music, and I thoroughly enjoyed it through!

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

I like this album a lot better than I expected to. It was far more entertaining than the Board of Canada album, while kind of treading similar water. The general atmosphere was just great.

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

4/5

There are some awesome guitar tones on this thing. I enjoyed much more than I expected to.

Follow The Leader

Korn

1/5

Holy crap this is terrible. Literal sonic garbage. I would rather go completely deaf then listen to this album again.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

4/5

This album was, to put it in layman's terms, "blinking well baffling". I love it.

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

This album is interesting in parts, boring in others, bluesy throughout. I enjoyed the front half immensely, but it did get long in the tooth.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

How have I never heard this album until now? It's so good! It's like if John Denver focused less on mountains.

Paul Simon

3/5

It's hard for me talk about Paul Simon without comparing his work to Bridge Over Troubled Water, one of my favorite albums. He maintains his normal vocal character, but none of the songs capture me as well as any single song on that other album.
