Van Halen

3/5

Great guitar work. Poppier than I was expecting. Great vocal performances. Not earth-shattering, but maybe worth revisiting.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Velouria is a cool song. Ana is interesting. Back half drags a little. Sounds and production aren’t too interesting. I can kinda see how Weezer was influenced by them.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

3/5

Nice horns. Cool mix of prog and easy listening. Production was good. I appreciated the Beatles reference.

Garbage

2/5

Not bad, but not attention-grabbing either. Some interesting lyrics. Feels very '90s (for better or worse).

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

Nice keyboards. Last couple songs are very good. A little poppy, but some nice prog elements.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

Electropop album. Has the classic '80s production feel. Doesn't seem very memorable.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

3/5

Very nice groove. Pretty much exactly what I expected from a salsa album. Enjoyable record.

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

3/5

Cool proto-garage album. Was not expecting the horns, but they were nice. Interesting to see how punk and garage were influenced by this.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

Amazing production. Really cool use of various samples. Great groove and flow. The energy is maintained throughout the entirety of the album. Really fun listen.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

5/5

Absolutely beautiful. Reminds me of Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear. Amazing combination of strings and traditional rock instruments.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

3/5

Pleasant jazz album. Nice guitar work.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Great vocals from Ozzy. Really cool metal album with some cool lyrics.
