Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

5/5

I love this album! super southern, a bit grungy, really really good. To be fair I am an early Kings of Leon head. The sound hits my ears just right! Whole thing hits, but especially love: Red Morning Light, Happy Alone, California Waiting, Molly's Chamber, Talihina Sky

shit is fucking fire, I wish it wasn't so early on so I could feel good about giving it a 5. Def a 4.5 for me so I guess ill go 4. Flight test and in the morning of the musicians really stood out to me. will def come back to this one since I liked it considerably more on the second listen as opposed to when Nathan first recommended it

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

3/5

too long, I liked the sound but it didn't keep me intrigued enough to listen all the way through, really liked the beginning especially crying

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

very very strong 4. songs that are so crushing should not be able to be such bangers–it's simply not fair

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

3/5

liked it way more than I was expecting too, lots of bangers. had no idea gangster's paradise was a sample either so that's cool

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

Liked this more than I was expecting to tbh, shoot to thrill was my favorite of the songs I didn't know off the top of my head. dont know how much ill come back to listen but glad I did, strong 3

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

Really really liked this, knew a few of the songs but had never listened to the album all the way through

Let It Be

The Replacements

3/5

a vibe for sure, super 80s post punk, some weird songs like Gary with a boner lmao. I see the appeal and enjoyed it a good bit.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

2/5

felt like I was being serenaded by the druken sailor. not bad, but wouldn't say I really liked it

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

2/5

eh, not a huge fan, nothing stood out to me other than sweet dreams and I don't necessarily love that either

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

was hoping to like this more but was slightly disappointed :(

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

3/5

pretty solid, don't know if I would go back and listen again tho, didn't save any but enjoyable nonetheless

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

lots of bangers, most of them I already knew

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

4/5

Ten

Pearl Jam

3/5

A little bluesy boring at times, but a lot of the slower stuff is quite nice. Really like black and Jeremy (already saved) Strong 3

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

Quite cool how they can mix super brash and really soft/pretty into single songs, some lean too brash for me tho

Risque

CHIC

5/5

Holy shit? So incredibly lush and smooth. Had Good Times liked, liked every other song off rip. Will you cry being the second least streamed song is a travesty. My first 5!

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

So crazy how raw it is, yet how good his vocals sound the entire time. Electric! Not my fav genre

Crazysexycool

TLC

2/5

Waterfalls has got to be a top 100 song of all time right? objectively Other than that, kinda boring :/ I wanted to like more than I did. Andre 3000 though!

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

For all that Stairway to Heaven has become, it is a darn good song. The big songs on this album are big for a reason. I see the appeal of Black Dog, although it isn't my favorite. Rock and Roll is simple and good. Going to California is my second favorite Led Zeppelin song. Had never heard When the Levee Breaks and it was an insta save. The rest are all kinda forgettable. Light 4 for me

Clandestino

Manu Chao

2/5

Energetic and fun but don't see myself coming back to listen, cool that he's got that tik Tok song doe!

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Snoozefest + all the homies hate Eric Clapton

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

How did they cook this up in 1969 Would be a 5 if not for Moonchild

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

These guys would have gone crazy if the Beatles weren't around

Sheet Music

10cc

3/5

Goofy album, kinda gave MGMT vibes. Didn't think I would like at first but ended up enjoying quite a bit! Fav song: Baron Samedi

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

4/5

Woah! Had to listen since CT gave a folky album a 5 and it did not disappoint. Really enjoyed, very strong 4 that I could see getting bumped with a few more listens. Insta liked all except a Sailor's life (of non bonus tracks)

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

2/5

Is Not All Who Wander are Lost ironic? I continue to think Lana is just alright. The songs I like I really like. The others I find really boring. dance till we die and let me love you good.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

3/5

Much more rock oriented than I was expecting. Very Hendrixesque. First song is incredible. Also Rill Rill sample! Pretty good but lots of the middle got lost in the shuffle.

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

5/5

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Man this is so good. It does such a good job of keeping to the 'intergalactic' theme, while being quite diverse in its sound. Really enjoyed. Liked Five years, Soul Love, Moonage Daydream, It aint easy, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette city, Rock n Roll Suicice Had Starman and Hang on to Yourself pre saved

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

2/5

I know this is super influential for a lot of current bands that I like, but this was largely sleepy for me. Liked a few songs (You aint going nowhere, nothing was delivered) but other than that pretty meh. 2.5

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

3/5

All the songs sound super similar. I happen to like the sound so it's okay, but gets pretty repetitive. Really like the horn sections in a few of the songs. Sounds like early kings of Leon were influenced by this stuff

Urban Hymns

The Verve

2/5

almost gave this a 1 but bittersweet symphony is that good. Super duper disappointed – had high hopes this would be enjoyable (similar to oasis). Instead was very boring. Lucky man is the only other song with at least an above average catchy hook.
