The first theee songs sound like they could be the background to a guided meditation. Nothing special, but pleasant listening.
The next three songs erase any good will and totally shift gears. More electronic, more upbeat, more lyrics (barely).
Two halves, neither of which did anything amazing for me.

I just donβt get it. You canβt even argue the song writing elevates poor music because there are no lyrics. The music is fine but nothing special and downright weird at times. If I want to listen to a soundtrack, Iβll just listen to one.

There have been many times a songwriter-type artist has come up here. Most are fine, but I donβt attach fully to them, or the lyrics go in one ear and out the other. But every once in a while, the songwriter sticks out and totally captures me.

So I read the Wiki blurb, saw the album cover with a straight up goober, and saw it was a long one. Got busy and had to skip that day, and was always unexcited at the thought of eventually listening.

Hereβs another one of these albumsβ¦ the vocals suck, the instruments are fine but repetitive, and maybe I can mildly groove to the bass line for a bit. But if thatβs all I get, and then the vocals or dissonance brings me out of the groove, whatβs the point? Especially when thereβs at least 20+ of these albums on this list.

White Light / White Heat
The Velvet Underground
Velvet Underground has long been the band I feel like I should love, but can never fully get into. There are moments that I enjoyed this album, but on the whole, it just doesnβt click for me.

I think it finally happened. I found my first five star rap album. Maybe itβs because Iβve been exposed throughout this process and grown my appreciation. It might be the rockβnβroll influenced felt throughout this album. It might have been the catchy lyrics that land in the perfect zone of βtoughβ but not harmful. Whatever it is, I dig it.

There is just so much music like this on this list and I wonder why. I get why people might like it, but feels like every week Iβm hit with one or two noise/industrial rock albums that are a heavy beat with whateverthefuck over top of it. The beats never bad, but the rest of it usually is.

Behaviour
Pet Shop Boys
When I read βsynth-pop duo,β I instinctively rolled my eyes at yet another group that would be repetitive slosh. But, on a grey Monday morning in the Pacific Northwest, this album was perfect for my drive to work. Moody, passive, and an ever-present beat.
