My 1001 Albums Journey

Buena Vista Social Club

2/5

Sounds like something I've already heard accidentally in the background of a Mexican restaurant. Definitely joyous and fun but too repetitive for my tastes.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

2/5

Doesn't really hold up to modern listening. Overlong and unfocused. Some good moments along the way but not anything too great.

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

If you can somehow forcefully erase all Coldplay from your memory and decontextualize it, it's a pretty decent album. Inoffensive and entertaining.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Amazing album. Absolutely floored I've never listened to it. Talented all the way and just enjoyable. Creative,

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

1/5

YEEEEAAAAHHHH BOOOOIIIIIII BASS BASS BASS BASS

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

3/5

Pretty creative, easy to listen to, enjoyable album. Lyrics and themes are on the silly side but I definitely enjoyed it. Hard 3 low 4 for me.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Really good pop album. Not usually my style but this is the gold standard

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

Enjoyable listen. Pretty middle of the road album though.

Horses

Patti Smith

3/5

Really ahead of its time. Tons of sounds and concepts that are way more modern than 1975. Not really my jam overall but very interesting.

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

2/5

Really didn't enjoy this album. Not horrible or anything just dull and not particularly musical or interesting.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Enjoyable upbeat album. RHCP isn't my favorite but this is their best work I think. I don't know if it's fair for me to ding it for being overplayed but it's my ratings and I will do what I want.

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

3/5

Love the creativity and the shoegaze-esque atmosphere. Very ahead of its time. Solid album, strong 3 low 4.

Kala

M.I.A.

2/5

Really creative, super energetic and fun. Wins points for being unique. Loses points for being occasionally hard to listen to.

The Man Who

Travis

1/5

Offensively inoffensive. Definitely doesn't deserve to be on this list.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

Solid album. Really enjoyed it. I think I would have given it a 5 if it was either slightly shorter or less repetitive but great overall.

Journey Complete!
