5/5

First 2 songs are super cool. I love the distorted drums and bass in Airbag. Rest of the album was very interesting and even in the slower, more depressing songs I could always enjoy something about it. Quite a neat spacey style.

Moby

2/5

Incredibly repetitive, though clearly purposely so. Also it's like 2 hours long, I didn't listen to most of it. It wasn't particularly interesting to me, but wasn't particularly bad either.

Led Zeppelin

2/5

Honestly a little disappointing to me, knowing some of Led Zeppelin's other songs. Most of it sounded more like a band just noodling around in a jam session rather than well-developed songs. Also the bluesy songs got annoying.

Brian Eno

1/5

I wanted to like it because I've heard this album referenced before and I think it was kinda new or influential for it's time. Was painfully boring for me to listen to.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Mother Stands For Comfort is probably my favorite from the album because of the weird instrument sounds. However I wasn't a fan of Waking the Witch and the songs after that.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

2/5

The songs have very full, lush arrangements, but sometimes it was too noisy for me. Definitely had some neat ideas though, such as the first song which was almost similar to a classical canon in that it kept layering more voices to the arrangement. The vocal style kinda reminded me of the Beatles. Overall not my type of music though...

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

4/5

My faavorites from the album are Stop, been Caught Stealing, and Of Course. I don't love the singers voice, but the songs are quite groovy, and I especially like the klezmer-style violin in Of Course.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

3/5

Album cover: 5/5 Grooviness: 5/5 Singing: 2/5 (I wasn't a huge fan of his voice and lyrics weren't that interesting to me) Had some nice jazzy solos and electric organ. Your Gold Teeth was my favorite song. I didn't like the second half of the album as much though.

The Poet

Bobby Womack

3/5

Has some nice slap bass. I was a bit disappointed there wasn't any electric organ and that a lot of the songs just faded out at the end, but it was still a good album overall. Games was my favorite song.

Phrenology

The Roots

1/5

I listened to a bit and it wasn't my thing. Sometimes I can appreciate rap when the background music is more interesting and I can better understand what they're actually saying, but this didn't really have that.

White Ladder

David Gray

1/5

Ugliest album cover ever. The music wasn't much better in my opinion, too slow and sad sounding

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

It has a Jiu Jitsu song (Epic)!! The nostalgia factor automatically gives it +1 point for me. The audio mixing sounds kinda odd to me and I can't hear the singing as well as I would like, and it's a bit overwhelming. Underwater Love and Epic were my favorites.

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

I liked the crunchy guitar tone and the singer's voice. There was also some cool intentional out-of-tuneness in Stop Breathin... rather creative.

Brian Eno

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

1/5

Just too weird and random. It seemed like they had to give every song some weird intro with a person talking or odd sound effects. Some of the songs were kinda groovy but a lot of the songs sounded the same and there was also 4 song covers which is a little odd.

Leftism

Leftfield

2/5

Kinda boring and repetitive. Sounded like spy techno music you hear at laser tag places.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

2/5

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

2/5

None of the songs really did anything for me. It was kinda slow and boring, and had weird, random "avante-garde" parts that I didn't like.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

I like the song Born To Run (partially just because it's the only one I kinda knew already), but I'm honestly not a huge fan of Springsteen's voice for some reason. I also like Meeting Across the River.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

Ananda Shankar

4/5

I actually enjoyed this quite a bit. Who knew sitar and synths would sound so good together?

Sea Change

Beck

3/5

I like the strings in the album. Overall a little slow but not mad.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton
