I really enjoyed the metal/symphony mashup of sounds and it’s music I could see myself working out to. My main issue was how long the album was. After the first hour I felt like I had a good listening experience, but I wasn’t even halfway done. Due to this I’d probably listen to a few songs again, but not the whole album.

Songs In The Key Of Life
Stevie Wonder
I enjoyed disc one and Pastime Paradise was a surprise! Disc two was kind of a slog to listen too. The length of the album wore me down and it wasn’t different enough to keep me interested the whole way.

Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan
This was my favorite of the first three albums. Especially cause it was a normal length! I really enjoyed the first track and the couple that followed. After that the tracks lost a flow for me. None of the tracks lead into each other to make a cohesive album.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Wu-Tang Clan
This isn’t my favorite genre, but I still liked it for what it was. A good amount of head bopping was had. The old school martial arts references and noises in the songs were my favorite part. Enjoyable album, but most likely won’t listen to again.

Bruce Springsteen
This was more of a stripped-back acoustic album that I could tell has a lot of meaning to it. Unfortunately, it didn’t resonate with me. Atlantic City was my favorite and one track I may come back to.

I wasn’t expecting much when I saw I had an album made in 1969. What a fool I was. I was hooked from the opening to the closing track. Each song had a unique sound to it while still being one piece of the complete puzzle. Up on Cripple Creek was extremely catchy while King Harvest was my favorite. I knew after my fourth listen of the day that this was a resounding five stars. I can’t think of a single flaw to say.

It was a chill listen. The type of music I could see playing while people are out camping and staring at the stars.

It was an okay album, but nothing caught or grabbed my attention.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head
Coldplay
The ending to Politik sets the tone for the rest of this beautiful album. The Scientist and Clocks back to back have no right being that good. A Whisper is the only track on the album that I don’t care for and would skip the next time I listen to. A Rush of Blood to the Head is haunting and another god-tier track. Coldplay has helped me get through some tough times during life and when I’m in the dumps, it’s unbeatable. For where I am in life now; I’d say it’s a great album and that’s what I’ll rate it as.

Solid Air
John Martyn
It was alright, but can’t see it being good enough to make this list. I did like how a lot of the tracks had different sounds than each other. I listened to part of the album which driving in the rain and the music did mach that ambiance.

It was cool to listen to a full album by these guys. They have a pretty interesting sound. I liked the listen for what it was and can see why it made this list.

The Dreaming
Kate Bush
I know people who LOVE this kind of music, but not for me. The kind of music I’d hear when being forced to go to the theater for a school assignment in college

It was just alright. 60’s rock which I’m sure was great at the time, but listening for the first time it didn’t feel like anything special

Repeater
Fugazi
90’s punk music that started to all blend together after a while. It was hard to distinguish between tracks and I unfortunately found myself waiting for it to end midway through.

Greetings From L.A.
Tim Buckley
It my have been my mood that day, but it was a forgettable album for me. I already forgot most of how it sounded. Wasn’t too impressed.

I thought this would be a decent album after the first few tracks. However, it quickly got very tiring and the length did not do any favors. This was my first DNF cause I couldn’t make it through the last three songs. There’s a lot going on with most of it not being good.

Sounded like a budget INXS.
