Yeezus

Kanye West · 10 likes

1/5

The only good thing I can say about this album is that I found the sampling of Bound 2 to be groovy. Everything else was really bad. Like, the 'I feel gross and should shower now' kinda bad. I regret listening to this.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green · 2 likes

2/5

Wasn't my jam. Wasn't particularly bad either, just wasn't feeling this.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

I'm not huge into rock/metal, but this was okay. Felt like something that would come on the radio while driving that I'd leave on in the event of me not hooking up my aux. Smoke on the Water was a huge win of course, taking me back to pep band

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Pretty good. Reminds me of some good older tunes, but some of these I'd consider adding to a playlist

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Surprisingly better than my first impression led me to believe. One of those albums I could see myself listening to on a rainy day, walking around in a sort of trance

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

A little intense for 6am, but kinda groovy pirate music. I'd listen to a few of these again, but not the entire album in one sitting.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

3.5/5 Good music, pretty groovy, but not something I'd be in the mood for all of the time

Maxinquaye

Tricky

2/5

Not my grooves. Sounded kinda like gta v car radio and the songs were bonkers long

Sincere

Mj Cole

2/5

Very long album and its not my vibe at all. I think it was just before my time and just a little below interesting enough for me to be able to climb on board.

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

1/5

.... Are all of these songs about how much sex they are having? This could not be less interesting or fun to listen to.

Street Life

3 + 3

Just noisy

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

3/5

Some of these were okay, but it got old

Appetite For Destruction

1/5

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

It's alright. Some of these were pretty neat, others forgettable.

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

2/5

So so so so long. Some of these were good. Others felt like the throw away games on those cheap knock off 42 in 1 video game consoles. Need some filler to hit the numbers.

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

2/5

Not my taste

Viva Hate

Morrissey

3/5

An okay listen. Sometimes I forgot I was listening to it

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

2/5

The music itself is alright. I like that he doesn't hide his lyrics and voice behind a ton of noise and production. That said, the lyrics about rape, killing children, and homophobic slurs might have turned me off this one...

Queen II

Queen

3/5

Pretty good. Not my favorite that I've heard from them

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

It's alright. I can't really listen to too much psychedelic rock without getting tired of it and also tired in general. Groovy nonetheless

Live Through This

Hole

2/5

Very angsty but not in any good way
