Melodrama

Lorde

5/5

Very good pop, well-produced throughout. Enjoyed it a lot- Liability is a nice song. 4.5/5

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

Really fantastic album, enjoyed it a lot. Kind of reminiscent of Portishead in the downtempo instrumentals with the occasional Daft Punk-esque vocoded vocals. Didn't know what to expect going in but it was excellent.

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

4/5

Good alternative rock album. Reminiscent of other early alternative/indie bands- kind of like what you'd hear on a college rock station. Very good throughout, enjoyed listening to it- She Floated Away is a cool one that almost sounds like a sea shanty.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

Enjoyed the first track a lot- great voice, and the instrumentals (especially the buildup at the end) were amazing as well. The tracks are quite long (except the third one, but that is still five minutes). The buildup is great in the last track as well- it started quite slow, but I really liked the ending.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Very good album as a whole. First two tracks were enjoyable to listen to- the title track might be a little over-saturated in standard radio/commercial play, but it's still a great song. There were some slow points in the middle in the end, but overall still liked it - solid 3.5/5. Nile Rodgers' influence is also strong throughout.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Great album- Me and Bobby McGee is a classic. I don't think I'd heard any of the other songs before, but they're also very good. Joplin's voice is great, and the backing tracks are all tight throughout. I'll be putting Me and Bobby McGee and Piece of My Heart on some of my playlists now.

Ramones

3/5

Catchy songs, but a bit repetitive throughout. 3.5/5

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

Enjoyed the album quite a bit- "I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man" had a catchy instrumental at the end. At the moment I still prefer Purple Rain to this, but this is definitely one that I'll revisit later.

No Other

Gene Clark

4/5

Liked this album a lot- the folk/country vibes mesh well with what I typically listen to, and the instrumentation is great throughout. Kind of reminiscent of Neil Young in places. I'd give it 4.5/5 if I had the option- nothing groundbreaking enough to get a five, but I'll revisit it soon.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

3/5

Pretty generic blues album, nothing really stood out to me here. The guitar work is good throughout (featuring Clapton in places). The cover of What'd I Say had a bit of a strange extended drum solo in the middle that dragged on for a bit. Overall solid, but not overly memorable.

Melodrama

Lorde

5/5

Very good pop, well-produced throughout. Enjoyed it a lot- Liability is a nice song. 4.5/5

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Good funk album, was a fan throughout. Will need to revisit it when I'm more focused. Probably 4.5/5 on initial impressions.

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

4/5

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

Good funk album, enjoyed it - more upbeat than Maggot Brain. Think I still liked maggot brain more

Beautiful Freak

Eels

3/5

Not bad at all- wasn't my favorite alt-rock album ever, but was certainly above average. Would probably give 3.5/5 if I could be more specific with my ratings.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

3/5

Not exactly the most listenable overall. I can appreciate it for the influence it had on other bands and on psychedelic rock as a whole, and there are certainly some nice songs, but probably wouldn't revisit.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Great album throughout- was very interesting hearing the banter with the audience and the prisoners. Great country album and his voice is iconic, will listen to again.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Good album, enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting. Very different vibe from Blue, more varied instrumentals and the lyrics are quite nice. Particularly liked Don't Interrupt the Sorrow.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

3/5

Solid album, there were some quite catchy songs and I appreciate the instrumentation a lot. Felt a bit too flashy at times though, probably 3.5/5

Sound Affects

The Jam

3/5

The riff on Taxman in "Start!" is interesting to hear. Another solid album- not my favorite stuff that I've heard from the band, but I do like "That's Entertainment".

Foo Fighters

3/5

Pretty generic rock- enjoyable to listen to and fun for the most part, but doesn't exactly feel like anything all that special.

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

Excellent album as a whole- big fan of Disorder, and I enjoyed the other songs I listened to more than previous listens. Solid 4-4.5.

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

5/5

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

4/5

Good indie album, solid vibes throughout. Didn't feel like anything groundbreaking but was very enjoyable and comfortable.
