Fisherman's Blues
The Waterboys
Very good! This was my first time listening to The Waterboys, and I liked them and this record more than I expected. Side A is more rock oriented, side B more traditional/folk, both very good and a nice contrast.
HIghlights: Fisherman's Blues, We Will Not Be Lovers, Sweet Thing, And a Bang on the Ear, When Ye Go Away

Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The high water mark for RHCP. The single's from this are all good to great. Some decent deep cuts, but a lot of this album sounds dated now, and dropping the last 6 songs would have resulted in a tighter, better record.
Highlights: Breaking the Girl, Suck My Kiss, Give It Away, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Under the Bridge

In The Wee Small Hours
Frank Sinatra
A lot of Frank singing songs about losing love. I wasn't really familiar with any of these before. Good if you're feelin' blue and want to wallow in it.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Public Enemy
Great beats, great rapping by Chuck D, and Flavor Flav adds the flavor that makes it all go down nicely! There's no filler on this album every track is good to great.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Solid Rock N' Roll album from Tom Petty in his debut. I was only familiar with Breakdown and American Girl prior to this listening. While the rest of the album is fine to good, if you've already heard those two tracks you're not missing much on the rest of the album.
This gets three stars on the strength of those two songs, otherwise it's probably a two

L.A. Woman
The Doors
This album is a lot blusier than I remember. Outside of the most well known songs on here is some really good stuff. The whole second half of this is pretty good to great
Stand out deep cuts: The Changeling, Hyacinth House, Crawling King Snake, The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)

Blue Lines
Massive Attack
Is it club music? Is it hip hop? Neither, both, but less than the sum of its parts. Underwhelming rhymes, sounds dated and very 90s but in a not great way.
That said, there's a few decent tracks on here: Blue Lines, Unfinished Sympathy and Hymn Of The Big Wheel
