Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

5/5

Queen! Not every song is a 5 but Queen is hard to beat.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

More instrumental than expected, not very familiar with Radiohead before. Reminded of Animal Collective, though softer.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Voice halfway between Thriller/Hot Summer Night narration and typical singing. Dark/religious theme lyrics. Quieter music, style gets old by the end of the album. Select listening/Halloween would be good!

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

2/5

Not very remarkable, weird lyrics "some girls are bigger than others". Personally not interesting.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

Good background, probably wouldn’t seek it out on it’s own. Decent within-album variety.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

5/5

This is great. Funky sound, interesting instrumental sections. I didn't follow lyrics closely but greatly enjoyed the sound. Album art reminds me of Flying Dog beer art.

Iron Maiden

3/5

Some songs seemed harder rock, some more classic. Overall an interesting album that I should revisit to pick a favorite or two.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Good. I should be more familiar with Hendrix!

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

3/5

Blowin in the Wind. A Classic. The rest of the album isn't varied enough to retain attention.

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

Classic Beatles album!

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

5/5

Dark Fantasy is great. Sadly I mostly know Kanye through his public persona, which is "complicated". The language in rap often makes me feel like it's not a space meant for me, but the music is enjoyable. I was also surprised at the variety and consistent freshness of album's songs.

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

Didn’t know what to expect. Quiet wistful lyrics with interesting instrumentals.

The Visitors

ABBA

4/5

Similar tone across songs, always upbeat. Classic

Me Against The World

2Pac

2/5

I don't understand West coast rap, difficulty understanding lyrics and a similar background sound made all songs sound similar to me.
