Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

Definitely a noise pop type album with no singing really, just mumbles and moans. It's all very unpleasant to listen to. Has a very 90's sound, it has not aged well at all.

Teen Dream

Beach House

2/5

Sounds like every other pop album from the same era. Although it's mixed well and there is some quality to the craft, it is overall boring and repetitive.

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

1/5

There wasn't much to like about this one. Every song sounded the same and the singing wasn't even that good. It got very boring fast.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

A great look at the transition from classic hip hop to early 2000's style. Very solid.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Starting off as a typical Bowie rock album, I did not expect the later instrumentals at all. The slow transition from rock to Japanese-influenced melodies was an amazing experience. Only downside is the songs are a bit stretched out and repetitive.

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

1/5

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

2/5

Overall a very bland, stereotypical electronic album. Not much stuck out. Very forgetful.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

3/5

Very unexpected, kind of folk-esque psychedelic but with heavy African and Asian influence. This probably would have worked better as an instrumental album, but overall very nice.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

Solid acoustic album. Not exactly my type of music, but it is very well made. Leans more folk/country than rock.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

5/5

Exceptional album. In the context of its time, this was a very shocking, hardcore statement. One of the most essential hip hop records.

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

Definitely a noise pop type album with no singing really, just mumbles and moans. It's all very unpleasant to listen to. Has a very 90's sound, it has not aged well at all.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

4/5

Surprisingly, this is a really good album. Pop is generally boring and repetitive, but this was just enough of an outlier to feel new but familiar enough to not be annoying.

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Great album. Has a great 90's rock feel but still holds up over time.

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

4/5

This is an unusual one. Over 40 songs, but none of them are longer than 3 minutes. In fact every other song is just instrumentals; it may come off as a bit choppy, but overall a very good experience.

Teen Dream

Beach House

2/5

Sounds like every other pop album from the same era. Although it's mixed well and there is some quality to the craft, it is overall boring and repetitive.

Out of Step

Minor Threat

3/5

Pretty good punk sound. Surprisingly explicit for the time, which is fine but it's just surprising. The flow does break down into screaming and yelling at times, which is a bit of a turn off.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

Sounds a bit like Scooby Doo chase music from the mid 90's, and that's more than fine.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Great album of the era. Not really a bad song on the record, strongly recommend to anyone remotely interested in classic rock.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

Another great classic rock album, you can't get much better than this.

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

2/5

I wasn't very in to it, but fans of country could enjoy this somewhat.
