All Ratings

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Took me by surprise how much I enjoyed it.

Forever Changes

Love

4/5

A little too mellow for my taste, but the album flowed very smoothly. Relaxing music, hadn't heard of this band before. Favorite track: Alone Again Or

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

Nice folk rock. I had only heard White Rabbit previously. Solid Album. Favorite Tracks: She Has Funny Cars, My Best Friend

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

A very interesting album. Never cared for sampling, but this album uses it well. Some very artistic songs, but my main complaint is that it sort of dragged on. Favorite songs: Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt, Midnight In A Perfect World

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

2/5

Not my kind of music, it all sort of blurred together. I'm sure I would have liked it more if I understood Spanish. Favorite Track: Plastico

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

4/5

I liked it, an interesting album. Some parts were stranger than others (particularly in the last song). It was nice to listen to as background. Favorite Song: Tubular Bells, Pt. I

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

Surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Not to judge a book by its cover, but I didn't think I'd like this album, having never heard of this group. Definitely sounds like a 90's album, giving me Green Day or Weezer vibes. Giving it 4 stars, the second side was a little more lackluster compared to the first, and the album as a whole did blur together. Favorite Songs: Cut Your Hair, Unfair, Silence Kid, Gold Soundz

Headquarters

The Monkees

4/5

Been giving a lot of albums a 4 lately, so why not. A pretty enjoyable album, had heard some songs by The Monkees but none from this album. I’m a sucker for more simple uppity songs, and though the Monkees may have never reached the artistic level of the Beatles or the Beach Boys, a solid album. Favorite songs: Forget That Girl, I Can’t Get Her Off My Mind, Randy Scouse Git, Zilch

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

3/5

Didn't stand out too much to me. The album overall sounded pretty good, but it all sort of blended together. Still some great moments though. Favorite Songs: Debonair, My Curse, Brother Woodrow

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

1/5

Juvenile for the sake of being juvenile. Feels like music for kids that don't have a taste in music yet and want to pretend they do. It all blurred together as loud without any good reason for being loud. The vocals were eh and the lyrics were worse.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

A great album, not much else to say. Hadn’t heard any of the songs from this album, but it was a good listen. Favorite Songs: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Moonlight Mile

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

I enjoyed the vocals the most, not exactly my type of music, but it was a great album. Favorite Songs: She’s Out of My Life, It’s the Falling in Love

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

Pretty ok album. Blended together a lot though. Favorite Song: Just Like Honey

Beautiful Freak

Eels

4/5

Liked it a lot, despite the cover art making me hesitant. Good vocals, and some really interesting vocals. Favorite Songs: Susan's House, Rags to Rags, Guest List

Superunknown

Soundgarden

3/5

Liked the vocals, I don't care much for grunge. Still some great parts. Had only heard Black Hole Sun before this and really enjoyed it. Favorite Songs: Black Hole Sun, The Day I Tried to Live, 4th of July.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

4/5

Impressive vocals, fun to listen to. Favorite Songs: Combination of the Two, I Need a Man to Love

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

The energy and vocals really make this a great live album. Really enjoyable. Favorite Songs: Feel It (Don't Fight It), Twistin' The Night Away, Bring It on Home to Me, Somebody Have Mercy

Hms Fable

Shack

4/5

Great album with plenty of songs I thought were really good. The album doesn't seem to be that well known, but it was surprisingly fun. Only complaint is that the second half didn't appeal to me as much as the first. Favorite Songs: Natalie's Party, Comedy, Pull Together, Beautiful, Lend's Some Dough

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

2/5

Achtung Baby

3/5

Not my type of music, but it still had some great parts. Favorite Songs: The Fly, Mysterious Ways, Acrobat

Odelay

Beck

3/5

Some good ideas, but didn't stand out much too me, and at some times was a bit much, or too boring. Favorite Songs: Devils Haircut, Where It's At, Ramshackle

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

3/5

Not bad actually. Favorite Songs: Love Song, I Just Can't Be Happy Today, "Smash It Up, Pt. 1 & 2"

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

I think Dylan's voice has grown on me, a lot of great songs, but still some that I didn't care for. Favorite Songs: Like a Rolling Stone, Ballad of a Thin Man, Queen Jane Approximately, Highway 61 Revisited.

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

3/5

The guitar is great, and the lyrics are better. Most of the songs were hit or miss, with some that are more bland then others. The story telling is the highlight of the album. Favorite Songs: Story of Isaac, A Bunch of Lonesome Heros, "Seems So Long Ago, Nancy"

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

3/5

I agree with the one review that says "Respectable, but not my type of music". It's very well done, but it's not my type of music. Favorite Songs: Couldn't You Keep That to Yourself, The Part You Throw Away, Purple Avenue, Scope J.

Hysteria

Def Leppard

2/5

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

3/5

A good album. Don't think I've ever heard of this band before. Favorite Songs: Mr. Soul, Sad Memory, Good Time Boy

that was actually really good. Listened to the deluxe edition cause that’s what it showed, which added some cool songs and alternate versions. The first song felt like one large build, and the pay off made the strange guitar parts well worth it. Didn’t care for the third song as much as the first two but overall a great album.

Love this album, probably the last great beach boys album. Don’t go near the water and long promised road are great, take a load off your feet is fun. Disney girls is nice and sweet. Student demonstration time was probably my least favorite, just felt nothing like the rest of the album and was pretty bland. A day in the life of a tree and ‘til I die are wonderful. My favorite song is probably surfs up, the lyrics and feel of it are mystical.
