It’s one of my favorite albums. The waves of dissonance with the monotone vocals. The immersive wall of sound is so perfectly mirrored in the album art. It’s really a treat every time I hear it

This album was boring. I like ambient beeps and boops, but these beeps and boops bored me

Really great B side. The jazz elements and cello work together really well with his folksy style

Pretty good. Not a ton to see, nice to see reggae roots

I did not really like this album. Some of the guitar work was good, but the vocals and lack of substantive lyrical content was tough for me

Last song is great. I never realized how operatic Buckley’s voice is. First side was a little slow for me

Pretty good! Not a huge Joni Mitchell fan, but nothing bad to say about the album

A bit disorienting times, but a really great listen. A bit of neutral milk hotel, a bit of nick drake, and a lot of fun!

Easy listening punk,

Easy listening punk,

Those bass lines! Little kitschy lyrics at times but the synth instrumentation and use of reprise more than makes up for it

Not my style a little too dark and dreary

Some really great tracks on the b side I liked it way more than I expected to

Some catchy tunes but I just didn’t find it that memorable overall. Maybe biased against my idea of contemporary country tho

I didn’t really like it. The songs felt kinda similar and didn’t really move me

Pretty good guitar work at points but on the whole didn’t speak to me too much

Good start but the end got a bit redundant

Really great garage band vibe. Unpretentious

Yeah idk I couldn’t find myself engaged

Pretty great album. Lots of spirit and the unplugged versions wer an interesting change of pace, I still prefer the electrified version of their hits though

Karma chameleon delivers but all of the other songs feel a bit empty

Didn’t strike the right balance of engaging and ambient. May not have been in the right headspace though

I really wanted to like this album bc I love quest but I found myself waiting for it to end

The bside is especially fantastic but overall great

Nice pink vibes. Overall pleasant to listen to but missing an x factor

Couldn’t fully get into this album. I like the generally direction of the stripped down punk but I didn’t really identify with it. Also there were just a lot of songs

A few good tracks but I’m a bit burnt out on punk

Overall a pleasant album to listen to but not super engaging like I’d go back and listen to it

I didn’t love it. The covers felt a bit uninspired and the whole album just didn’t feel like it was pushing any boundaries. Tina turner does have a great voice though. Maybe it’s just the instrumentation that felt a bit dated

Great album. I liked this one more than the prior good blend of rap hip hop and other instrumentation

It’s one of my favorite albums. The waves of dissonance with the monotone vocals. The immersive wall of sound is so perfectly mirrored in the album art. It’s really a treat every time I hear it

I was really surprised by how much I liked this album it was a bit long but overall really witty and selfaware

I was in a bit of a bad mood, so that didn’t help but I couldn’t get into it and it felt a bit repetitive

I’d give it a 3.5 if a could my feelings towards this album are better than neutral but only marginally so

I actually quite liked this album. Definitely some bob dylan elements but I liked the piano and lyrics

There were some good folksy moments but I wasn’t compelled by the lyrics

I liked this album. A slightly jazzier velvet underground. I suspect this album grows on you, but for now only four

Sheela-na-gig is a banger but otherwise not really my style

Some good songs but a little one note. I like the other styles of music that mr Charles dabbled with

It’s a five after that first bass line. This album really taught me that dissonance in jazz isn’t just meant to be pretentious and gatekeepy. The funk can’t be contained

Not sure what happened to my previous rating but I really enjoyed this just a little lomg

Solid album. Very well mixed and mastered. Smooth operator is a banger.

I initially was not excited for this album but it really grew on me.

Fantastic. Immersive in the way that Loveless or Sgt Peppers is and with beautiful restrained production and guitar work.

A bit bland I really don’t have good or bad things to say about it

Pretty good. Emmylou has a great voice and the instrumentation is fantastic. The album was a but samey though

I’ve always liked billy Joel but this album so far surpasses my expectations. He’s really like an Elliot Erwitt with his compelling narratives and playful barbs at the American condition. And then on top of that the sax rocks and there’s a random boss’s nova background band for get it right the first time. Just fantastic

I was really bored by this album. I really didn’t like any songs and it all just kinda dragged

I wanted to like it but the production was a little rough around the edges and I didn’t think the lyrics were as compelling as other Lou reed songs

There were some okay songs but on the whole I didn’t find it as intriguing as some of their other work

Kinda like Leonard cohen but without the emotional impact

Okay. Nothing really jumped out at me as being super memorable

Also just kinda bland. I think we need a palate cleanser

Definitely some interesting ideas with the industrial vibe. The depiction of sex was a bit off putting to me and I was really bugged by how hard the vocals were to depict in the mix

Nice instrumentation and blending with the electronics. But the Album is a bit too long and I found myself bored

Another 3. It’s like not bad but just palpably samey to the other rock of the day

Pretty good. Dragged at times but neat to see Proto-shoegaze

It’s basically a greatest hits album, and there are definitely some great songs. Wild, Wild horses is always great. Brown sugar is beyond problematic but at least they’ve retired that song concerts??

A good album. I didn’t love it enough to give it 5 stars but it definitely deepened my appreciation for me Bowie

I liked this album. Tim is a hard guy to judge. Not certain how much of the music is being playing straight and how much is pointed satire. Absent thinking about the lyrics though it’s a great album

Bb king is a legend. This is such a great album and it’s so benefitted from being recorded live. I haven’t listened to the blues in a while but this will always serve as an excellent reintroduction

It’s a cool album but I didn’t feel it leaving a lingering impact

Eh. I had a hard time getting into this. The instrumentation is fine but the lyrics seemed a bit needlessly pretentious

Some phenomenal tracks. Meatloaf’s mixture of sincerity and sarcasm is really nice. Some songs are just a bit long and repetitive

I’m certain this is good for the right kind of person but I was not feeling grimy electronic music so I struggled with this

Some good tracks. At times redundant but overall an interesting listen

Truly a masterclass in modern production, but it’s Kanye so the best I can do is a three

Definitely some interesting and important ideas that are communicated concisely and intelligently but the musical stylings didn’t totally do it for me

I really didn’t like everything except the last three songs, those were pretty good, but I just couldn’t get into the rest of it

I liked this album. Does it appeal to my white boy sensibilities, absolutely, but I’m not complaining. Money for nothing is so good and there are some other fun songs on the album

Of course Mariah Carey has a good voice. The production seems a bit dated though and some of the songs read as very shallow (esp that one about growing up too soon) Overall it’s not an unpleasant experience, it could just be so much more

I liked everything about the album except for Björk’s voice. I really just can’t with the operatic warbling. I’ll give it three because I believe it’s a taste that could be acquired

I like Depeche Mode but this album was just quite boring. I never realized the importance of a “single” on an album, but here I noticed that there’s no one song tie the others together

Making consent sexy since 1973. Definitely a solid album and this is more like a 4.49 for me but I guess I felt it was missing something extra to push it to a five

An important and interesting album for sure, but I struggle to really rate old school rock and roll too highly because all of the songs are so similar

Waterloo sunset comes out of nowhere as a five star song but the rest of the album is just so 60s and so British that it feels a bit too of its time

I’m a little embarrassed by how much I enjoyed this album. But a bunch of German dudes making space sounds was a great time

It just feels like an inferior version of the revolver album by the Beatles, just 30 years later

It’s pretty good. The songs are a bit samey but the overall vibe is fun

A really foundational album. It’s everything I love about grunge especially the way it doesn’t take itself too seriously. You can totally hear their influence on much later bands like grouplove. It’s very easy to listen to & fun all the while

Some great tracks but the album drags a little due to its length. I now like the Cure more than I thought I did which is neat

Soooooo looooong. Definitely some great tracks that have aged well, but the album is just so long without much justification and that holds it back for me

I honestly loved this album. Such a fun blend of Louis’s Italian heritage with his jazz/blues upbringing in NEW Orleans. The songs/lyrics are good, but the instrumentation and vocals and their mixing and mastering are phenomenal

A really witty album with lots of great tracks and great instrumentation

This has been a really important album to me that I’ve listened to be fore and I’ll listen to again, but on this listen through I didn’t find it as engaging as a I have in the past

I used to really love this album, and it’s got some good tracks but Neil young and CSN is somehow less than the individual parts combined. Good, but neither of their best work

Pretty good album. I definitely understood the smiths in my mind. I don’t have too much negative to say, it was just missing that secret sauce

I feel like this track is missing a single to tie it together. The production is great but otherwise the songs are a little bland

It’s really misogynistic so it’s hard to hear it for anything beyond that. The musicians are obviously good and the folksy moments are fun, but the lyrics are so trite and problematic that it’s a 2 for me

I had really low expectations after the last album, but this album is actually really fun! I was head banging a little bit on the train and some of the guitar solos are really novel and interesting. It’s not totally my vibe so I can’t give it a five though

A very fun early prog album that packs a lot of depth into its short runtime ((the opposite of many other prog works). I like space jazz

How can you not love the wall. Such a landmark piece of music that has such wide appeal. The guitar is great, the lyrics are great, Pink Floyd is just pretty great

Two good songs on the album but otherwise a bit bland

The well known songs are bangers, but The lyrics feel pretty dated and empty. The slurs used don’t add anything while really ruining my immersion

It’s pretty good, but I was expecting so much more. And tbh a lot of the songs reminded me of Jan from the office singing about her assistant. Smth about the whiny tone

Idk I just found this album to be really boring. There’s basically nothing remarkable that I can remember from it. It didn’t help that I never understood any of the lyrics

There are some fun moments but I don’t want to be tied to deep purple for 2 hours

I like Radiohead but this album was quite boring. There were no memorable songs and i just found myself wanting it to end

For sure a fun album just missing something I can’t put my finger on to push it to a five

I think this album is really fantastic. The production is spot on, Michael Jackson really brings unmatched energy to any track he touched

This album was boring. I like ambient beeps and boops, but these beeps and boops bored me

I don’t like prodigy really. This album is just not that great, I don’t have strong feelings about it

Maybe a 3 is a bit unfair, but I know this is not an album I’ll return to. The famous songs are good but the rest just don’t really hit for me

It’s definitely a fun album that still feels modern even today. Too bad their music doesn’t stream so I can listen to it without YouTube audio compression

We’ve had a lot of this early electronic music and it’s pretty good, just not very remarkable

This is a fun album! My favorite Bowie so far, still missing a special something that I can’t put my finger on. I dig the American though

Definitely one of the better punkish albums we’ve had. Not too self serious. Short, which is important. And well produced. Better than neutral, but not a 5 for me

This is a fantastic album. Really great synergy with the band. Super fun and nothing negative to say

2 I didn’t hate it as much as I expected to. But it’s too long to be as repetitive as it is and the nine minutes of laughing for an outro isn’t the best thing in the world

It’s fine. I’m a bit over britpop tho. I don’t have a whole lot to say

Lots of interesting ideas. Not all of them resonated with me, but you can tell this was put together with a lot of thought. Not the kind of thing I’ll relisten to, but glad I heard it

Pretty solid. I’m still not all in on the smiths but you can definitely see a lot of good ideas here

Good solid fun country music. Nothing to complain about here

Pretty good album. The through line is not as definite, but it’s basically the first concept album so I can’t ask too much of it. Also the hard left right pan is a just a bit distracting

Pretty solid album. I’ve definitely unfairly written off the beastie boys in the past, but this album is pretty good old school hiphop/rock. My only gripe is that the album is a little long for the number of ideas it’s bringing

Tainted love is fire of course but that’s the only thing saving this album from being a two. It’s boring, needlessly sexual, and not something I’ll return to

Nile rogers on guitar is always great but this is not my favorite of chic’s work

I found this album to be so boring but I think I was just in the wrong headspace. It’s probably worth another listen but it’s not the kinda album I’d crave listening to, the tracks are a bit all over the place in terms of style

Way better the previous Coldplay album we had, does this appeal to my white boy indie loving sensibilities, ye. Do I mind? No. Loved the guitar tone and the lyrics weren’t as prominent so I didn’t have to dislike them

Fantastic. It’s hard to go wrong with Sinatra but there are no duds on this album. The master is great (not always a given for these older albums) and it’s really a joy to listen to

Really solid album. It’s totally my style so I can’t go all the way to a five but really enjoyed the guitar work and the drums. I’d never listened to a Metallica album and was pleasantly surprised
