Lambchop

2/5

I get excited when I see a short album with only 10 songs. But each song averaging around 5:30min kills that excitement almost immediately. So far every song sounds like it could be used as an intro song in a Netflix/Amazon Prime/HBO Max/AppleTV Drama Series Honestly, very boring

1/5

this is easily the worst album on this entire website. It's too long and there's nothing interesting about it, just bad reggae, but I don't even know if it's reggae, it's too hard to tell couldn't finish the back half

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

1/5

It's long and honestly not great. Reminds me of songs I would hear in the original TMNT movies, but not the good ones. Like the classic early 80's songs. Couldn't finish it

Funeral

Arcade Fire

5/5

really good comic book reading album. Will probably look it up later to read to Might create a jurassic park to this album

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

slow start but the back half is like a better Beatles Not much singing, more of an atmospheric album. Very much what you expect with the album cover oops, had it on shuffle, oddly reminiscent of resident evil

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

3/5

No idea what they're saying, but I can tell they're having fun Great beats but there's a chance that what they're saying could be problematic, but I can't tell what they're saying

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

good but a little bland. Could be just a boring friday vibe for me

Close To You

Carpenters

3/5

reminds me of the jetsons Did they make a song for Willy Wonka? They did the "shalalala" thing from Hercules in Baby It's You

The College Dropout

Kanye West

5/5

classic yeezy, but not the yeezy I first heard how the hell does he have a 12 minute outro?!

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

3/5

it's good sounds like explicit versions of the beats that play in the knuckles and rouge levels in sonic adventures battle 2 DX Could totally imagine every song as the theme for Shadow the Hedgehog, straight 90's

Street Life

The Crusaders

4/5

11 minute jazz intro? Let's get it "Street Life" is some solid Funk Notes of sonic adventure casino in the rest of the album Okay definitely gets into smooth slow jazz by the end of the album

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

2/5

listened right through it very generic but not bad. I didn't feel the need to stop listening

John Prine

1/5

I really didn't want to finish this album I feel like this is the punishment for not listening yesterday Just pure old school country Didn't want to finish, it's too long

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

no thoughts, just credence clearwater, pretty nifty

Arise

Sepultura

3/5

Album art is a really good representation of what you'll get with this album. All the songs seem to blend together and I think that's the point. Solid metal, but not entirely for me

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

very classic Ray Charles. Loved that the album is actually like a vinyl and has two "sides" Wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it again, it's slow, but it's very good

Nixon

Lambchop

2/5

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

funky, I'm jamming better than most of the other albums I've listened to, and I don't even know what they're saying in this one Didn't realize it finished

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

starts strong with some iconic tracks, doesn't get lazy in the back half, stays strong the whole way through. Probably helps each track is led by 1 to 2 different MC's Express yourself is a great Dr. Dre track Does suffer what most hispanic music suffers from: It's essentially the same beat the whole way through with the same tempo, not much switching in between tracks If it wasn't for nostalgia, I probably wouldn't listen to this again though

Eternally Yours

The Saints

2/5

just really whatever early rock. It's not really that great not bad background music I guess, but it goes on forever Sort of sucked, didn't enjoy any of it, but at least got through it all

Tical

Method Man

5/5

great beats and his flow is top notch he has a way better switch of tempo compared to N.W.A. from earlier this week Probably one of the only 5 star albums where I won't add a song from it, but I can respect that this is a bomb album

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

so far very good, definitely a solid 4. The main singer adds a lot to the beats, his voice is super unique oh shit that's kurt cobain I can completely understand if someone said Nirvana was their favorite band, they're great Back half is definitely slower than the first half, probably would have helped to be more upbeat

The Cars

4/5

finally a regular classic rock album Good classic songs, but "I'm in touch with your world" is odd and not that great Sorta flew by fast, was a short album but it really did have some hits in there

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

3/5

hell yeah, haven't even listened to it yet and I know it's 5 star because I have two songs already in my liked songs from this album The last free bird was sad though because the guitarist just gives up right at the beginning It actually was like a 3 out of 5, solid classic songs in there, but the rest are mediocre. I'll give it a 4 out of 5 for freebird

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

3/5

Busta rhymes doesn't actually bust any rhymes in that intro contrary to popular belief it's weird but through albums in this time period I can really see where Sonic Adventures Battle 2 DX got it's soundtrack, especially the Knuckles and Rouges sections. This just sounds like the Rouge levels but with lyrics Does sound a bit like Persona 4's style of music It was alright, sort of generic, but didn't hate it, probs a 3 star

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

some solid classics and these guys have great voices. Very stereotypical 80's, makes me miss GLOW worried I might not remember these guys when I want to listen to just 80's because this is a solid album. Def 4 out of 5
