Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

2/5

Underwhelming. A few good hits but I’m not really into the extra-conceptual stuff they are doing here.

I don’t know why, but this is such a good album.

Harvest

Neil Young

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

Pretty solid album, but not any good individual songs. Heat Miser might be good for Road Work. Has a really groovy cover of Light My Fire.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

2/5

Needs some brass.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

3/5

Had one song I really liked. Might have a good song for Road Work.

Exodus

Couldn’t get through it. It may have been revolutionary or something, but his voice is just too weird.

Lana Del Rey

4/5

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

5/5

Amazing Beatles-esque album. Lovely.

Go Girl Crazy

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

It’s good, not amazing.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

5/5

Got a good Coldplay sound to it. I really like this. VERY underrated album how have I never heard of this album, any of the songs, or even the band?!

Celebrity Skin

Hole

4/5

Very good grunge rock. Has one-two bad songs in the middle but overall very good.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Ok in the first half of the album, but got really good in the second half. Developed a David Bowie-type sound.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

3/5

First half of album was really good. Back half became more mellow. LISTEN TO AGAIN.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Three really good songs. The rest are pretty mellow/zone-out songs.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

Album was released on my birthday in 1977. All Revved Up With Nowhere to Go is the worst track on this album, but not horrible. Whole thing is like a musical. I love this album. It’s super good.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

3/5

Autobahn is pretty good. The rest is just background music.

Pink Flag

Wire

5/5

It’s magnificent. Basically a playlist of 21 short post-punk songs that are all just amazing.

Black Sabbath

3/5

The guitar is amazing, but the songs as a whole just aren’t special. The lyrics and other instrumentals just lack.

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

4/5

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Classic Neil Young infused with some electrifying rock and roll.

Live At Leeds

The Who

2/5

I’m not a huge fan of their live playing style, but sometimes it’s a vibe when they just keep shredding the guitar like a Crazy Horse song.

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

3/5

The songs are good, but that’s it. They are just good.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

Very Beatles. Pretty good.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

3/5

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

Kinda spooky album. Very low intensity. It’s amazing.

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Even their lesser songs are so good in a cheesy way. Classic Beatles.

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

5/5

Very good! And with a feature from Dave Matthews!

The Blueprint

JAY Z

5/5

One of the best hip-hop albums of all time.

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

It was okay, but nothing special. Just some good folk rock.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

4/5

So good for how weird it is. I would never expect an electronic album like this to be this good. Especially the back half.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

I liked it, but the album as a whole isn’t great, it just has 3 amazing songs.

Parachutes

Coldplay

5/5

Amazing.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

3/5

Weird mix between jazz, rock, and folk.

Cypress Hill

4/5

Classic 90s Hip-Hop.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

All the songs are very hit or miss.

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

4/5

Album that is very different from anything in its genre, somewhat ahead of it’s time by giving an alternative feel.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

4/5

Classic punk rock.

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

4/5

Not expected to be a good album as there are only a few songs that are good on their own, but it just works. Very Gorillaz-esque, but more powerful.

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

3/5

It was silly but as far as Morrissey goes, it was pretty good.

Dog Man Star

Suede

2/5

Not really doin it for me. It has some good songs and elements but a lot of the “hits” just feel like 70s rock filler if it was made in the 90s.

Make Yourself

Incubus

3/5

Definitely Alternative. Had Foo Fighters elements mixed with Red Hot Chili Peppers-type singing. Pretty good.

NEU! 75

Neu!

5/5

Amazing album!! Walking album. Going to become a favorite for sure. The suspenseful instrumentals combined with the nonsensical 70s rock vibes make it perfect.

Stankonia

OutKast

3/5

Better than expected. Of course there are some great tracks on there, but the b-sides shocked me. They were pretty decent. The closing track is particularly good.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

4/5

Crazy. Rock-opera type. Similar to Bat Out of Hell. I still don’t know what to think of it. Two songs stand out: the opening track and The Carpet Crawlers. Others were very good as well, but maybe not great out of context. A full album listen.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

B-sides were better than the hits. Good ole’ Mo-Town.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Classic.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

Another classic. Full album listen for sure on this one. The trial is probably the only skip.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

5/5

Another classic. I really like Bob Dylan’s sound and his lyrics just hit. Last few songs are about rain and I was listening to it while walking in the rain so it really fit. Every song was good; no skips.

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Didn’t listen to the whole thing. Songs I listened to weren’t very climactic or momentous. Just chill vibes really. Some were good.

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus

Spirit

4/5

Really good 70s rock vibes from this. Every song is a pleasure to listen to and the guitar is great.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

2/5

Typical Damon Albarn music, but on the slower side. It’s fine, but not a great album. Idk didn’t really do it for me.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

Nick Bare can have my kids after this one. Singer-songwriter vibes with godly instrumentals and bigger production.

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

3/5

She has some good songs on here but nothing special.

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

4/5

Classic 90s hip hop with some really good lyricism.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

Some really good hits, but not a coherent album.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Ethan claims it’s a classic. It is very good with lyricism and production. Definitely deserves many more listens. Some mid songs, so it’s not perfect, but it’s close.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

Not really a huge fan of yacht rock, but this album has a ton of good songs. Maybe it’s growing on me.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

4/5

Only skip is Sick Things. Amazing album all around. British Invasion type music.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

It’s Nirvana. Of course it’s going to be amazing. Honestly, The Man Who Sold the World might be better than the Bowie version. TBD.
