🎵🎵🎵 Under the sea 🎵🎵🎵

Roxy Music

3/5

The Stooges

3/5

didn't resonate with me, it's not bad except for that 10 min track but it's also not great

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

4/5

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

don't understand the hate, y'all will listen to a fat middle age man named danzig yell about his mother over and over again but this lady giving us her star trek TNG captain's log in song form is not ok for some reason

Live!

Fela Kuti

5/5

I'm a jazz nerd and a drummer this album was unfair to the competition godlike

Fred Neil

3/5

Tarantino-core but like nothing wrong with that, it's fine

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

fine

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Raekwon

5/5

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

1/5

This is my 3rd Tom waits album on this list and I have accepted by now that I will never understand it. I like a lot of music that can be dissonant, weird, borderline unprofessional, out of tune, not on beat, etc. But Tom Waits is always part mediocre folk and part garbage noises with this weird muppet sounding dude trying to sing over it, but failing because he misread the label and started swallowing chewing tobacco I can't

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

Close To The Edge

Yes

5/5

not much to say this is a masterpiece

Funeral

Arcade Fire

5/5

This album was important to me when it came out and and I still really like it today, it's part "I like it" and part "i'm a homer" but otherwise it's hard to explain it other than by saying I love pretty much everything about it. It's a shame that the legacy of this album is a bunch of shitty bands trying to recreate this sound for a decade and an original band I just don't care about whatsoever outside of this lp

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

2/5

Beyoncé has an amazing voice but this album did absolutely nothing for me, I already forgot everything about what I listened to

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

3/5

This album was alright They're edging on occult rock or early doom, but they refused to accept Satan into their heart and that was a mistake

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

Spiderland

Slint

4/5

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

It wasn't bad bad so it saves itself from a 1 star review, but man was that a whole lot of unmemorable nothing

Arrival

ABBA

2/5

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

3/5

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

3/5

The music is good but definitely not as good as I remembered, it really rubbed me the wrong way this time. This album oozes pretentiousness in ways I can't explain

Play

Moby

4/5

Moby seems like an insufferable person and i've honestly never heard anything he's made before or after this album, I legit thought he stopped making music soon after this. but trying to stay as objective as I can this album is pretty good, he got a lot of great samples and did good things with them, he made a lot of forgettable loops catchy and memorable... Most of the album is still really easy to listen to today which in itself is a massive feat compared to a lot of music from that specific era.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

2/5

Hypnotised

The Undertones

3/5

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Way too long and some songs feel like fillers, but overall a classic and a good album

Skylarking

XTC

2/5

Yeezus

Kanye West

2/5

When you copy Death Grips' homework poorly and then ask Rick Rubin to go over it before handing it over

Phrenology

The Roots

3/5

I like this album but was a little disappointed with this listen, and it's a strange pick for The Roots, they have much much better material out there

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

4/5

Surprisingly good dad rock

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

negatives: couple of songs I didn't like, notably High Plain Drifter, and a little too long... I was kinda over it 35min in so 53 min is a little too much otherwise I mean it's really good and I respect it a lot despite it not really being my style. I feel like it could grow on me even more too, to be honest

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

2/5

Started off strong, but it got old 3 songs in and it was just irritatingly Beatlesy after that

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

I don't like live albums UNLESS they bring something to the table, and this one does exactly that.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

2/5

Couple of good riffs in what is otherwise a brain numbing boring album

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

3/5

Idk dude it was fine

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

2/5

Queens of the Stone Age

4/5

I'd be lying if I didn't say it's a generous 4. I like this album fine but I can't help compare it to some of their later works which are some of my favorite albums. it's lacking a bit of punch

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

2 seems harsh, 3 is a little generous, still fairly sure Elvis Costello paid to get on this list so many times

Kala

4/5

Sincere

Mj Cole

2/5

Generic.

Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

2/5

4/5

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

This is a generous 4, I really liked that album at some point but it didn't hit me as hard this time around mrs vanderbilt still slaps

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

2/5

This album played with fire and gets a 2, but that 2 is very close to a 1 insanely boring and baffling choice, you're gonna make me point at the sign with all the obvious picks missing from the list again

Calenture

The Triffids

2/5

This book sucks man

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

4/5

Could've been a 5 if it stuck to jazz

Gris Gris

Dr. John

3/5

Weak 3

O.G. Original Gangster

Abdullah Ibrahim

4/5

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

3/5

i don't care how good the music is, it's fucking sad for you if you're out here writing love songs about your now-ended marriage, to fulfill a contractual obligation to your ex-wife, while you're already remarried. holy shit dude call a shrink or something, i'm gonna listen to one of the other 15 marvin gaye albums

2/5

real conflicted because I like a couple of songs and I have a lot of nostalgia for it, but this album aged like milk. Went in expecting to like revisiting it but the majority of the songs left me physically cringing

Superfly

great album, it lost my attention at some point but it could grow into a 5
