Aretha Franklin

4/5

I really enjoyed listening to this one. I had never listened to much Aretha before. Her vocals are incredible and I was surprised at how strong the album was all the way through.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

4/5

Really cool funky album with some fusion elements.

xx

The xx

2/5

I liked the use of ambience and space but it was very lacking in dynamics and excitement.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Great album by a great band. Unique mix of punk, dance, funk, as well as rhythmic sounds from all over the world. Layers of subtle instruments. Polyrhythms on top of polyrhythms.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

4/5

I love this album and was pleasantly surprised to see it was included in this list. The Beach Boys took a darker and more psychedelic turn with a lot of the songs on this album while still doing what they do best - massive vocal harmonies. Carl Wilson (R.I.P.) in particular had some of his best work on this album (Long Promised Road and Feel Flows). I'm giving it 4 only because the consistency could be better and it's only 33 minutes long. Student Demonstration Time is pretty cringe, and there are maybe two other songs that aren't very strong. The rest of the album is excellent and some of the best work The Beach Boys ever did. Favorite song: tie between Feel Flows and Surf's Up

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

I enjoyed this for the most part and liked how aggressive it was. I'm not a fan of Flavor Flav, but Chuck D is great. I thought the use of sampling was cool and how they built rhythms off of random sounds. The song structures were cool with how the songs flowed together. I thought it got repetitive after a bit.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Enjoyed this much more on the second listen. There were a few tunes that I really liked but I wasn't blown away by most of the album and I know the Stones have much better material. Favorite tunes were Sympathy, Street Fighting Man, and Salt of the Earth.

Let It Be

The Replacements

3/5

Not bad but I wasn’t super into it. The KISS cover of Black Diamond was good and a cool surprise. Favorite song was Unsatisfied.

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

3/5

Pretty cool creative psychedelic indie rock. Definitely some good songs but not super consistent. I thought the album started slow and got better as it went along. Favorite songs were Memory Boy, Desire Lines, and Helicopter.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

I wasn't super into this other than the hits but I do appreciate the rawness of it. Jack White is a respectable guitar player - he's loud, simplistic, janky, and really gets the point across using tone, feel, and attitude without over-playing. Favorite song: Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground

1984

Van Halen

4/5

Not quite their best work, but still a great album. Eddie was such a reckless wizard on guitar. R.I.P. Favorite song: PANAMA

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

3/5

Interesting listen. Janis’ vocals are great, though a bit rough at times. I wasn’t crazy about the songwriting or the instrumentation but really enjoyed the rawness of it. Favorite track: Piece off my Heart

evermore

Taylor Swift

3/5

Pretty good overall. The album establishes a nice mood overall. The songs are simple and the instrumentation is very reserved, allowing for Taylor's voice to carry every song.

New Forms

Roni Size

2/5

Didn’t like this one very much. Was able to get through it but I just didn’t care for it. I thought it was kinda creative at times and it made me feel nostalgic for the 90s, but that’s about it.

White Light

Gene Clark

3/5

Pretty enjoyable. Solid folk album all the way through.

Debut

Björk

4/5

Unique, creative, and weird. I loved the mix of styles and the strange beautiful singing. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to Bjork before, so this was a nice surprise.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Pretty enjoyable. I liked the smooth somberness of the songwriting and the slick production. Vocals are very emotional and so is the subject matter. Cool mix of styles, from R&B to reggae.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Solid live rock album. I thought the dual guitars sounded great without sounding too crowded. Thought the album was a bit too long.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

5/5

Dark, heavy, badass, angry. I loved AIC and this album as a teenager. Bone crushing guitar work, awesome vocals, really cool use of vocal harmonies to darken the sound even more. Favorite song: Would?

Phrenology

The Roots

4/5

Really cool hip hop album. I love the use of real instruments and the creative approach of blending genres. Definitely need to listen to these guys more. Favorite song: Something In The Way of Things

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

2/5

I couldn’t get through this but respect the musicianship.

Bad Company

3/5

Very solid rock album with elements of soul and blues.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

Pretty cool. I liked the mix of rock, folk, and psychedelic.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

3/5

Solid pop album

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

3/5

Pretty solid

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Pretty cool album. Haven't listened to much Bowie before but I enjoyed this.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

4/5

Really cool album. I thought the guitar work in particular was really cool.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

I wasn’t super into this one but I thought it was good sad 80s alt rock.

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

1/5

Listening to this album made me realize how much I have completely misunderstood Kid Rock. My foolishness and ignorance had long gotten in the way of my willingness to recognize the true artistry of the Redneck Pimp. For so many years, my understanding of the lyrics to Bawitdaba was that the lyrics went like "Bawitdaba-da bang-da-bang-diggy-diggy-diggy Said the boogie-said up chuck the boogie" but the lyrics actually go "Bawitdaba-da bang-da-bang-diggy-diggy-diggy Said the boogie-said up jump the boogie". It still sucks though.

Cut

The Slits

2/5

Creative, but I wasn’t into it.

Odessa

Bee Gees

4/5

Surprisingly great. I hadn't ever listened to a Bee Gees album before and had no idea they had music that sounded like this. Love the mix of orchestral, baroque pop, country, folk, and other styles. Very rich sound and well-produced.

John Prine

5/5

Haven’t listened to much folk but this was some of the best folk music I’ve ever heard. Loved the general vibe and the lyrics.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

2/5

Not really into it but thought it was kinda interesting. I liked the blending of African and western styles.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

4/5

Wasn't expecting to hear any mathcore on this list, but here we are. I thought the guitars were really interesting in this. I appreciated how they used intricate angular guitar riffs to supplement the raw angry sound. To me, it never comes off as brutality for it's own sake, but something more intentional and musical if you listen more closely.

Kala

M.I.A.

2/5

I wasn't super into it but I appreciated the pop/hip-hop sound combined with Indian influences.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

Very cool album. Strong dynamics, lots of emotion, good sense of taste, even some interesting instrument choices.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

One of the albums that shaped the history of jazz. Not one of my absolute favorite jazz albums to listen to, but definitely a great one and incredibly important.

Gorillaz

3/5

Neat album, definitely some creative stuff. Clint Eastwood is a great song and a classic from this era. Nothing on the album stood out to me as much as that one but it's got some cool stuff.

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

I wasn't super into this but appreciated the creativity. This was an influential album in the shoegaze scene, which admittedly I know almost nothing about. Cool mix of noisy guitar textures with softer and more melodic vocals.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

3/5

Some really good stuff but just not consistent. The guitars sound so clean and crisp and perfect. Favorite was probably Mainline Florida.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

Pretty good album. I loved the contrast between the more melodic stuff and the harsh loud stuff and they blended it really well. Never listened to these guys before but I can totally see their influence on 90s bands.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Johnny Cash is a treasure and this album sums up the guy pretty well. If modern country music sounded like this, maybe I would listen to it.

The Band

4/5

Lots of good stuff on here. Emotional songwriting, great textures with the instruments, great vocals and vocal harmonies. The album really gives off a mood.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

4/5

Wack

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

4/5

Really enjoyed this. Loved the weird guitar riffs and the nasty yet warm guitar tone. Cool blending of styles from punk to indie rock to rock n roll.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

3/5

Pretty sold jazz album. Thought it had some unique flavors thrown in.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

Really good album. Solid songwriting, very mood-driven. I love the contrast between the jangly guitars and the more melancholy vocals.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

5/5

This album really challenged my perception of music when I first listened to it. Bitches Brew, while rough around the edges, is a wild experiment in musical abstraction and improvisation filled with virtuosic musicianship, focus, and vision.

System Of A Down

3/5

Definitely nostalgic for me. Had a few of these tracks on Napster back in the day. Think I still prefer Toxicity tho.

21

Adele

4/5

I’d heard a bunch of these songs before and never listened to the full album, but I really enjoyed this. Really good bluesy, soulful pop album.

Future Days

Can

3/5

Neat, chill, interesting. Def want to check out more by these guys.

Maxinquaye

Tricky

3/5

Pretty interesting album but wasn’t super consistent. Makes me want to check out more trip hop/creative hip hop.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

4/5

Pretty solid pop/rock album, good songwriting.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

4/5

Really enjoyed this. Great songwriting, really strong lead and backing vocals, guitars sound really crisp. Really strong pop/rock album with some 90s edge.

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

2/5

Not bad, but stylistically just not my thing.

Ray Of Light

Madonna

2/5

Some interesting sounds on here like the atmospheric dance stuff, but I just wasn’t into it for the most part.

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

Really weird, creative, dark, and creepy. This was a great final effort for a legend. RIP David Bowie.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

Really good hip hop album. Lyrics are extreme but I understand the context and the point he's trying to make. Big time nostalgia for me on some of the tracks.

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

Always liked these guys though I never had any of their CDs as a teenager. Really enjoyed this one. Just a great example of raw early 90s pop punk.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

2/5

Interesting listen, much different from anything I would normally listen to. Not really my thing but I thought some of it was enjoyable. Really impressive that he made the whole album on a laptop in the 90s while traveling the world.

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Great sense of rawness and emotion, very moving songwriting. I feel like I need to listen to the lyrics more closely to truly get it, but it's really effective at what it is. There aren't many songwriters that can just ditch the band for a bit and pull off this kind of album.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

4/5

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

5/5

I had never heard of these guys before and I am now a huge fan. Can't believe I've never come across these guys before. Excellent brit-power-pop that combines great songwriting and interesting song structures with a little 90s punk edge.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

5/5

Classic blues jams

The Man Who

Travis

4/5

Never listened to these guys before. Cool album.

The Grand Tour

George Jones

3/5

Pretty respectable country album to me. Vocals and vocal harmonies are really good. It's not very creative, and sounds pretty typical for an old sappy country album, but it’s really well made.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

Pretty solid for the most part. I love the gloomy sound on their early albums. Amsterdam is an incredible song.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

4/5

Connected

Stereo MC's

4/5

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

1/5

Rising Above Bedlam

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

2/5

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

3/5

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

3/5

Document

R.E.M.

5/5

Never listened to this before but I loved it. Dark and gloomy with very jangly guitars. Hits and deep tracks were great. And 1987 is the best year.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

5/5

Legendary stuff. Massively influential to a lot of great artists. Still sounds great too.

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

2/5

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

Classic Johnny Cash. I thought this was unnecessary though, as we already got the Folsom Prison one, which I think is better.

Os Mutantes

4/5

Wild, creative, and really experimental for it’s time. I don’t understand any of the lyrics and it’s kind of a mess but still interesting as heck.

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

5/5

I was surprisingly blown away by this. I love how it incorporates traditional Italian/Argentinian tango music with the really dramatic classical influence and even some jazz fusion. The dynamics are really engaging and the musicianship/composition is excellent. Totally unlike anything I would have ever come across on my own.

Fred Neil

2/5

I thought the last track with the sitar was cool but wasn't into this otherwise.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

Foo Fighters

4/5

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

1/5

Don’t tell me what to do Loretta

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

5/5

Queen fucking rules. Elaborate, fun, technical, almost absurdly dramatic. Awesome guitar work from Brian May as always. And Freddie just goes without saying.

Snivilisation

Orbital

3/5

Neat sounding background music.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

One Pink Floyd's best works and one of the greatest concept albums ever. Many of these songs had a major impact on me as a young musician. Every note of the Comfortably Numb guitar solos are imprinted in my brain.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

5/5

Excellent piano jazz.

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

5/5

Surprisingly great

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

3/5

Weird but interesting mix of rockabilly, surf, punk. Guitars are out of tune. Kinda cool, not great, but I respect the creativity.

A Northern Soul

The Verve

3/5

Pretty solid britpop album but not super consistent.

Queen II

Queen

4/5

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast

Badly Drawn Boy

4/5

Thought this was really good. Kinda reminded me of a whimsical British Elliot Smith.

S&M

Metallica

4/5

Hysteria

Def Leppard

3/5

Great sounding record, it just sounds a little too stiff and processed at times. Appreciate how they bridged the gap between glam rock and 80s pop. Harmonies are great.

Pelican West

Haircut 100

4/5

Really enjoying all these creative British bands that I had never heard of. This one was really cool, at times reminded me of Talking Heads, sometimes XTC. The horns and funky bass made it all sound so original.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

The Clash

3/5

Interesting glimpse into their early sound but not as good as their later stuff.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Aggressive, jazzy, chaotic, kinda funny all at the same time. Pretty interesting contrast.

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

4/5

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

5/5

Really long but great. I definitely liked The Love Below more. Lots of variation and genre blending. The jazz stuff was really cool and unexpected.

In It For The Money

Supergrass

5/5

I loved this. Great songwriting, really cool use of vocal harmonies and guitar. Kinda all over the place. Creative and charismatic.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Never listened to this one all the way through before. Lots of cool stuff that I wouldn't really expect from Zeppelin.

Miriam Makeba

3/5

I wasn't super into it but it's not bad. The singing is really nice.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

5/5

Can't believe I've never listened to these guys before. I loved the vocals and vocal arrangements. Lots of cool chord voicings and things like that. I just love psychedelic chamber pop stuff like this.

GREY Area

Little Simz

2/5

Neat at times and creative but I wasn't super into it.

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

Sounds really good production-wise. Love the minimalistic ambient sound.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

5/5

I loved the mix of folk with orchestral stuff. Great variety of instruments without sounding cluttered. Beautiful sound overall.

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

Interesting at times, especially with the longer song lengths. Includes some classic songs from the era. Didn't find it to be consistently great.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

3/5

Enjoyable but kinda boring. Production could be better, sounds a bit thin to me.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Pretty badass. I've listened to Machine Head before but not this one. Wasn't familiar with any of these songs. Love the sound of the guitar and organ playing together, often playing the same riff.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Perhaps my favorite album ever. Every songs sends you into another world. Sgt. Pepper is perfect in every way, whether it's writing, singing, performance, production, arrangement, musical vision, or imagination. Exceptionally ambitious for its time and still sounds incredible.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

2/5

Didn't enjoy it but thought it was good for what it is.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

3/5

Spiderland

Slint

3/5

Interesting listen. I didn't particularly like it but I appreciate that this was an early influence on indie & post rock stuff.

The Only Ones

3/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Always enjoyed this one. Not super consistent but definitely some great stuff.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Not bad overall, a few great tunes on this one.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

Sounds really dated, but interesting to listen to something so popular from such a different time. Mad respect for Buddy Holly and his impact on rock & roll music.

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

The most chaotic Beatles album. The White Album is masterful, it's ridiculous, it's sentimental, it's goofy, it's obnoxious, then it's 8 minutes of random sound effects, then it's time to say good night. The album that introduced the world to heavy metal also includes multiple classic children's songs. Every song is practically a different genre. Even the low effort songs are awesome. I named my cat Martha because of this album.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

Timeless and classic.

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

4/5

Not their best album, and definitely sounds a little dated. But this album is really well made and sounds so good. Vocals and arrangements are spectacular.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

4/5

Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera

4/5

Killer riffs, tight grooves, just incredibly brutal sounding. Dimebag was a fucking wicked guitarist. Always liked how these guys had both groove and technical skill. Usually this style of vocal is tough for me to listen to for close to an hour, but the musicality keeps it interesting.

Joan Armatrading

4/5

Really solid folky pop album with some cool funk stuff thrown in. Smooth production too. Never heard of this artist before.

Goo

Sonic Youth

3/5

Kinda cool but not very exciting to me.

Fleet Foxes

3/5

Pretty enjoyable, definitely remember liking these guys in the early 2010s.

The Undertones

3/5

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

3/5

Pretty creative and cool sounding. It was neat to hear early Bjork.

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

3/5

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

5/5

Great songwriting, great vibes all around, many classic tunes.

1989

Taylor Swift

3/5

Sounds great production and vocal wise. I think it's very well made pop music but I don't find it very interesting.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Excellent album all the way through. Amazing vocals, amazing groove, great songwriting, tons of soul, everything just sounds perfect.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

3/5

Lots of weird shit coming together here. The Elvis voice is hilarious and kinda cool. Obnoxious and dumb at times, and too long, but I respect the insanity of it.

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

3/5

Really enjoyed the musical style on this. Lots of cool melodies flying around on different instruments. It's a little out there, and the vocals got a little rough at spots, but I appreciated the creativity and mood changes.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

3/5

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

For me, this one always gets overshadowed by Rubber Soul and everything that came after. Obviously not the best of their discography, but certainly a very solid early 60s pop album and a glimpse into their early sound.

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

Pretty cool to early early lo-fi grungey stuff.

The Visitors

ABBA

2/5

Kinda interesting musically, more so than I was expecting. It gets a bit boring as it moves along. Thought the baroque pop and opera influences were cool and different.

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

Pretty nice sounding. Not super exciting or anything but just solidly pleasant to listen to.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

B.B. is a legend. Blues is all about the feel, and there are few that have ever been on his level.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

4/5

Really cool album. Never heard of these guys and had no idea who the artist of Our House even was. Can't get enough of these artsy British pop bands.

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

2/5

Some of it sounds nice but it's too sappy for me.

Crazysexycool

TLC

3/5

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

3/5

Pretty solid rock album. Sounds really crisp production-wise.

Garbage

3/5

Pretty cool sounding rock album. More varied than I was expecting.

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

I think I prefer their more structured studio stuff, but this helped me appreciate their more loose live sound.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

Such a great band. Super creative and weird. The rhythmic layering is awesome. So many influences and weird qualities all coming together.

Killing Joke

3/5

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Innovative, fearless, beautiful, reckless, soulful, and technical all at the same time. Jimi was an incredible musician who pushed so many boundaries in so many directions. GOAT

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

2/5

Some cool moments and I guess it’s unique, but the vocals are kinda unlistenable.

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

2/5

I appreciate the creativity for its time, but this is tough to listen to.

Tommy

The Who

4/5

Teen Dream

Beach House

3/5

Ramones

3/5

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

5/5

Sounds great production-wise. The guitar playing is excellent. I loved how subtle they were with embracing quietness at certain parts and not over-playing.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Really cool Stones album. Some of the best music I've heard from them. I was a little surprised at some of the musical directions they went in.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

4/5

Cool relic from my year of birth.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

It is hard to put this one into words that haven't been said before. Abbey Road is one of my all-time favorite albums. I've probably listened to it hundreds of times. Every song is its own little perfectly crafted masterpiece. The mood of the album is so diverse. You'll find some of the darkest Beatles material (Because, I Want You) as well as some of the most uplifting ones (Here Comes the Sun, Octopus's Garden). The production is completely masterful. Hard to believe they were on the verge of breakup during the whole process. It's my cat Maxwell's favorite as well :)

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

4/5

Thought this one was interesting, and a nice surprise as I had never heard of this band before. Kinda rough to listen to at times because of the hard panning.

Suzanne Vega

4/5

This is really good. I love the subtle yet effective instrumentation and how well produced it is. They did a great job at adding flavorful effects without going overboard. The guitar parts perfectly compliment the vocals.

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

4/5

Really cool sounding. It's interesting to hear the pioneers of ambient & electronic music. Definitely want to check out more of their stuff.

Melodrama

Lorde

3/5

Overall it's not something I would normally be into, but it's really well-made and the songwriting is not bad.

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

Terrific album that I have listened to many times. Excellent musicianship between all three guys without overplaying, precise songwriting, great lyrics, legendary riffs. Such a unique band and overall sound. God damn legends. R.I.P. NEIL PEART

Slipknot

3/5

Have they tried Jesus?

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

Really good album. I'm jealous of how great these guys are at making simple songs sound compelling. PHILLY REPRESENT

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

Really cool and unique artist. Solid songwriting with cool guitar parts. Elliot Smith was really clever with guitar chord voicings and throwing little surprises in. And he played all the instruments himself.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

4/5

Really interesting concept and sounds great.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

5/5

Absolutely beautiful sounding. Amazing singing and every instrument is so subtle and perfect.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

Pitchfork: 10/10 Rolling Stone: 4/5 Vecna: 0/10

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

1/5

'The Space Between Mr. Frear's Ears' but it takes place in a Nazi occupied war zone in the 1940s. So brutal sounding that it's actually interesting. Erratic mechanical noises, zero concept of melody, maniacal German screaming, songs ending out of nowhere. A compelling experiment in pure musical torture.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

5/5

Excellent stuff. Beautiful, intricate, smooth. Doesn't sound like it came out in the 60s. To me it sounds like it could be more modern. I will be listening to Nick Drake a lot more.

These guys are TIGHT. 3 guys who compliment each other really well. Every part is so perfectly precise. I don't normally care much for reggae but I love how they mix it in with rock and pop stuff. Cool subtle use of guitar effects like delay & chorus. Drumming is so good.
