Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

Hard nope. Could not finish this listen. Call it bad mastering, call it lack of melody, call it what you will. It’s all cymbals and drum noise covering up someone wailing on a guitar and screaming. This is not music. It’s noise.

Sebadoh

2/5

Ok. Call me picky but grunge era has a sound to it that is a little, just a hair, out of tune. But when the whole band is out of tune it sucks. Especially when they aren’t even out of tune together. Anyways, this is a no for me. Not my jam.

Leftism

Leftfield

5/5

Great electronic album. Leftfield was a pioneer in this area in my opinion. The songs stand alone just fine, yet also support listening as a full work together. This album you can focus and zone out on anywhere and still enjoy it.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

1/5

Why album generator, do you insist on giving me albums that are terrible? Punk/ska. Really? I couldn’t listen to this.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Given the circumstances behind the recording, the quality isn’t terrible. Not a huge country fan, but old school country has better depth and meaning to lyrics. Some of the cheering feels forced and noted that it was added in post. Apparently the inmates were scared to cheer or clap, and Johnny actually asks during one song “did someone just clap?” At which point the fake applause queues in. Adding applause gives the album a fake feel and for a live album almost discredits it.

Fred Neil

2/5

Wow. Not even sure what to say to this album. It started feeling Johnny Cash and ended up tripping on some good hookah. Very melodic and well composed songs, decent production as well.

B-52's

The B-52's

Not a bad album. Good background music with catchy beats.

Leftism

Leftfield

5/5

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

2/5

Album title says all. After listening to this album I want to kill someone. Myself maybe. It’s electronic noise mixed in with some decent grooves, lots of New York City stuff in between. Album had potential but I was not impressed by it.

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

3/5

Standard fare folk rock. Not my fave but not horrible.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

3/5

Brit classic rock. Never gave it a full chance before but not terrible.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

3/5

Smooth jazz. Melodic and relaxing. Not a bad album but the main theme melody seems to be in every song, making the album feel a bit repetitive.

Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

Compared to Rumors, this album is very boring to me. It’s still great on the technical end (recording, mastering) but the content does not grab me. Other than the 1 or 2 singles cut from this album, the rest is mostly forgettable.

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

5/5

Great album! Well mastered and almost every track is a good listen.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

2/5

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

4/5

Good album. Sadly a lot of the live was cut out and not all songs from the performance were included (some transitions fade out the next song in the set). That all aside, this was a good listen for classic rock and blues.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

1/5

Why album generator, do you insist on giving me albums that are terrible? Punk/ska. Really? I couldn’t listen to this.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

Come on Eileen is the best track here. They have a good sound and the tracks are unique enough but not grabby to have a bunch of good cuts from it.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Decent album but the singles cut from it were the best tracks overall.

Cross

Justice

2/5

Meh. Decent background music but not a must listen imo.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Wow, this album has some serious funky grooves and great horns. Well worth a dedicated listen.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

2/5

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

5/5

Essential electronic album with many good grooves and tracks.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Fleet Foxes

2/5

Alt folk album. Not my jam, not terrible either. Feels like they had a solid formula for song creation, but did not stray too far away from it. A lot of the songs sound "samey".

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

What a set of pipes! Also, a study in a career cut too short by tragedy.

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

Perfection. Though I wish there was more on here…great album.

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

3/5

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

Metallica

5/5

One of my favorite albums of all time. While many folks look at the "regular" cuts, the last 3 tracks on this album close it out in an amazing way! The whole album is quite the emotional roller coaster ride, dealing with anger, grief and depression; as well as happiness, joy, and determination.

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

4/5

A very pleasant ambient electronica. I can see this leading the way and influencing many, many bands. I think I may have even heard some riff's from one of the tracks in a Pink Floyd and Prodigy album somewhere....

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

Adele

5/5

Never, and I mean NEVER, date this girl. When you break up she will write a full album of songs ripping you a new one, whining how much she misses you, and finally coming to terms with your breakup. Oh, did I mention that the songs will be chart topping bangers? Yeah. Great album if you’re not the target of her writing!
