Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

Enjoyed this a lot more than expected. ‘Perfection’ was particularly cool.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

I haven’t given this a listen in a while and this was a good opportunity to do so. Love side A, side B kinda drags for me. Honestly I don’t like this as much as Darkness on the Edge of Town.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

Not at all what I was expecting and actually super enjoyable. I think people that like Glassjaw like this band. Where the fuck have I been? Surprise You’re Dead was kinda lame but otherwise I kind of enjoyed listening to this.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

3/5

Been a minute since I listened to this. Solid rock record through and through, with plenty of experimentation (off time shit, odd tunings) to keep things interesting. I dunno how much I care about Chris Cornell as a vocalist but the music’s cool.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

2/5

I historically have never given a fuck about Eric Clapton. Initially I thought this album was kinda soft, which is kinda funny now that I know that this album is mostly covers. He’s a fine guitar player and the musicians on this are solid, but it feels puddle deep. I guess I’m glad that I had the opportunity to hear this just to say I’ve heard it, but I doubt I’ll revisit this at any point.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

2/5

It sounds like Mazzy Star meets Portishead. I listened twice and got bored both times. Probably will not revisit this.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

2/5

Eh. The music’s cool but the singer sounds like he’s trying to channel Thom Yorke, Morrissey, and Chris Martin simultaneously and not in a compelling way. Blah.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

This is what I’ve been waiting for, something wild and different. Great rhythms, an actual message, and kinetic intensity. Hell yeah.

Cross

Justice

2/5

Eh. Like a way less compelling Deadmau5. I could live with never hearing this again.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

5/5

The second best Cure album after Disintegration. Fight me.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

You know, I hated the opening few songs so much that I never listened to the rest of this album and it gets progressively better as it goes. So that’s kinda cool. Better than I ever gave it credit for.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

3/5

I’ve never listened to this before. It’s cool, but I still haven’t found a way to care about hip hop. Maybe someday.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

I’ve never heard this before. Country isn’t usually my thing but this was very enjoyable. Glad my horizons were expanded a little.

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

4/5

Well this was wild. Really cool experience. I should check this out again at some point.
