Arcade Fire

5/5

I had somehow managed to never listen to an Arcade Fire song, so this was a great introduction. I really adored the color and arrpeggiation of the chords and the interweaving of various instruments and styles. The reviews really hype up the lyrics so I'll have to listen again in order to grasp them. The mixing initially bothered me, but my ears got used to it. It was just challenging to have the guitars louder than the vocals.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

3/5

I like Elton John but the album didn't capture me that much. Out if his hits, Benny and the Jets just isn't my favorite. The first track was lovely :) and the blues was fun.

This one was emotional. My friend's little sister recited "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" at his funeral last week. Funny that it popped up so soon after.

Raw Power

The Stooges

3/5

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

There was one song I really enjoyed, but the rest was kind of meh. However, I don't like the Beach Boys much at all and was still pleasantly surprised by the beginning of the album.

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

1/5

I started off really liking this, already had been a fan of the first track. But it became full of too many genres, while still being overly loud and quintessentially 80s. +1 for gender nonconformity Update: -2 for racism

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

4/5

Had never heard this but heard the lyrical influences for other songs I know

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

2/5

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

3/5

On one hand, I fucking love rock music, and I enjoyed listening to their perspective on the story of Lynyrd Skynyrd and growing up in a rural area. On the other hand, I think it kind of downplayed racism in America and the music wasn't original whatsoever. I think I would listen again though.

Hotel California

Eagles

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Picture Book

Simply Red

5/5

3/5

Surprisingly torn on this one. I remember this album fondly, but here were my thoughts - First few songs terrible - Used to not like suck my kiss, but it is a good song actually. gets to the core of their funk sound that I like. - too bad the rest of the album sounded exactly like that - with the exception of under the bridge which is an obvious masterpiece

5/5

Easily one of the best albums of the decade

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

4/5

a classic. also much more psychedelic than I expected at the end

Sincere

Mj Cole

2/5

3/5

ridiculous. yet a classic

Liquid Swords

GZA

I thought the beats were fairly boring
