very country/mellow vibe with nice horns, it’s like they put Jim Croce and Simon and Garfunkel in a studio and told them to make music. Very surprised I never heard this.

Certified classic. It’s the pioneer of the gangster rap genre and brought in many different artists into the rap game. I never actually listen to the whole album because I never cared for 80s rap but I liked this more than I thought. It does show its age with the beats but they’re still great songs. I liked every track. My favorites being straight outta Compton, fuck the police, if it ain’t ruff, something like that, Compton’s N the house remix, dopeman remix

I can’t stand this album. I can’t get into this dude’s voice. He sounds like he’s trying to parody Louis Armstrong. I get what he was trying to do but it gets annoying after the third song. The love songs were some of the worst on here, it had me looking every 15 seconds to see if it was over yet. This also felt like a drag to get through even though it’s average length for an album. The reason it’s not a 1 star is that I thought the title track wasn’t that bad and in shade was a cool jam track. The album has nice guitar and organ parts and a blues style that I thought was pretty good, but it’s not enough to go back and listen to again. Overall the album would’ve been better if the singing wasn’t so jarring. Fav tracks: heart attack and vine, in shade Least fav tracks: saving all my love for you, Jersey girl, on the nickel

Wasn’t bad, it reminded me of Santana on how layered the songs are. Zombie has a political message tied to it that I didn’t catch at first listen which made me look at his bio on the wiki. Lots of different instruments that make it sound unique, but overall it didn’t really catch my attention. But enough to make me revisit the album in a couple of weeks. It’s solid background music. Fav track: Zombie Least Fav: none

I’ve actually never heard of Muddy Waters before this and damn, I enjoyed this album. It’s the blues at its finest. I don’t know much about the blues as some others probably do but this is a nice introduction to the genre. There isn’t really a miss on this album, and it’s an album I’ll probably save to go back to. Fav tracks: I’ve got my brand on you, goodbye Newport, meanest lady

Gives me punk rock vibes and little bit of weezer. The guitar work is solid. Doesn’t really stick with me though. Maybe a couple more listens but I’ve started this album multiple times now and the second half kinda blends together besides love like anthrax. Fav tracks: ether, not great men Least fav: none

Wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really stick with me. I thought the songs sounded unique but I wasn’t impressed by the vocals most of the time. At the half way point everything kinda blended in with each other besides tracks like the loneliness of a tower crane driver and one day like this. Fav tracks: starlings, grounds for divorce, the loneliness of a tower crane driver, one day like this Least Fav: the fix, the bones of you

This album got better after each listen. The riffs give me nirvana vibes and I love the tone of the album. I’ll have to do a deep dive in The Cure because I was impressed. Fav tracks: in your house, a forest, m, at night Least fav: the final sound

There’s redeeming qualities and songs to this album, but overall it felt too loose and jarring. I’ll say that repeated listens have made this album more tolerable than the first, so maybe it will grow from there. I never really liked for the female vocals, and the male vocals are either spot on or too weird. I understand that might be his style but I don’t care for it. 3/5 Fav tracks: bone machine, break my body, where is my mind Least fav: gigantic, river Euphrates, oh my golly

Solid album. The title track by far is the highlight of the album, my only problem being that it’s so long. I feel like this could have been divided into 3 separate tracks, just to make the replaying experience more enjoyable. The rest of the songs were good too, but I feel like they blend in with each other too much. Will revisit again tho. 4/5 Fav tacks: 2112, a passage to Bangkok Least fav: none

Love this album. The mood is perfect and the singing is too. I don’t have a single problem with the album. I honestly think it’s perfect. 5/5

Great album. Love going back to this one. Jimi's riffs are unforgettable and this album holds so many great songs. A nice chill rock album. Only track is didn’t care for was “she’s so fine”. 8/10 Fav tracks: Spanish castle magic, little wing, castles made of sand

Enjoyed the album, but wasn’t as big of a fan of it as Ziggy stardust. It might take some time and more listens, but right now it’s good. I enjoyed the hectic title track, and the intro felt like a powerful start to the album. The album fell off for me when it hit “the prettiest star”. But the album came back at the last track, and ended on a high note. Good album, will revisit 7/10 Fav tracks: watch that man, Aladdin sane, panic in Detroit, time Least fav: the Jean genie

Alright album. Don’t really care for the singer that much, but I love the blues influence. Most of the songs went through one ear and out the other. 4/10 Fav song: fever Least fav: mad daddy, rock on the moon

I couldn’t make it through this album. I tried but this music is just not for me. It sounds outdated and feels generic for the time. 2/10 Fav track: none Least fav: dirty robber

Love the album. Also liked the interludes in between, album flowed seamlessly. Fav tracks: mad, don’t touch my hair, borderline, junie

Probably my favorite public enemy album. Love the messages and guest features, and the beat selection. Flavor Flav kinda got annoying on their previous album, which is my only critique for that album. The news outlets’ chops and scratches were also a nice touch.
