Os Mutantes

Fun album but unlikely I'll find myself back here again

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

4/5

First time hearing this. Insanely impressive. Recorded in one session according to Wikipedia, unreal. Was somewhat surprised to hear electric guitar, but this is a bit of a rock crossover album it seems. Miles’ work on the trumpet steals the show, it’s like listening to how a hug feels. and whoever is on sax is also incredible.

Os Mutantes

4/5

Fun album but unlikely I'll find myself back here again

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

2/5

This album made me feel stressed out. some cool moments though.

Destroyer

KISS

1/5

This album made me feel stressed out. some cool moments though. generally uninteresting musically and especially lyrically.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

Enjoyed the music and particularly the guitar. As always, Neil Young's vocals are not the bright spot.

Tracy Chapman

3/5

Fast car is obviously a classic track, but the rest of album seems to fit into the "filler" category with totally uninspiring backing music, and none of the pacing of the vocals that makes fast car so interesting. "Why?" might be somewhat of a outlier, but generally this album didn't live up to expectations.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

1/5

really hard to get through this. Hard to imagine how anyone would have ever wanted to listen to this album.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

I tend to think of zz top as gezers but they seem like they might have been pretty hip back in the 80s. pretty decent classic rock album but likely not one I'll come back to often.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

2/5

I don't understand why we need this band when we have led zeppelin tbh.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

very solid album across the board

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

very solid album across the board, but also highly nostalgic. For this genre of rock, I'd consider this a high water mark

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

3/5

First time hearing the whole album, it actually holds up well. First album I'm aware of to be basically 100% samples, which was ahead of its time

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Definitely sounds a full decade ahead of its time. I'd only heard the first song before, and it's probably the only one I'd come back to

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

This was a great album, liked it more than I thought I would

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

This album is a blast and reminds me greatly of my teenager rage. Was surprised how much I liked the handful of songs that didn't become singles from this album.

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

3/5

giving me the good old school rap vibes

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

2/5

pretty funky.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

incredible album and a truly a standout from Nirvana and this genre at large.

Moby Grape

2/5

not bad. Wonder why this band never really achieved lasting success like a lot of the similar bands of the era. probably the name was just too stupid

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

Always loved this album and James Murphy in general. Probably my favorite LCD album from start to finish

Kala

M.I.A.

2/5

I like a few songs on this album but find the rest pretty hard to listen to. in some sense it feels like it dates itself badly.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

pretty great debut album

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

probably one of the most real and honest looks at the subject of love, ever

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

I was surprised how much I liked this album and is another one that was way ahead of its time. The vocals were weak for me and prevented a 4 start rating

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

2/5

Only really liked the single from the album. not terrible to listen to though.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

certainly a classic but for me it didn't hit as hard as other hendrix material

Debut

Björk

2/5

not really for me.

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

1/5

not really for me

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

I'd consider this the quintessential Billy Joel album

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

3/5

grew on me over the course of the album

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

Some of the true classics of that era.

Protection

Massive Attack

2/5

Don't think I really get this one, but enjoyed a few of the tracks.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

true classic that completely succeeds musically and thematically

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

2/5

seemed like a relatively primitive use of computers/synthesizers in electronic music production. may have been groundbreaking in its day but lacks impact in a modern listening environment

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

2/5

didn't seem to hold up to modern listening in the electronic music category, but wasn't too painful

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

2/5

Didn't love it. I'm confused how he came out with this and lust for life in the same year. That seemed like a much greater success musically than this record.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

4/5

very fun album, tons of energy
