Funeral

Arcade Fire

2/5

Couldn't hear lyrics, no catchy melodies or memorable songs. Interesting instrumentals.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

Created a consistent creepy vibe

The Visitors

ABBA

3/5

Less fun than ABBA’s earlier albums. Soldier was a great song. I did enjoy how many songs had overlapping melodies, and there was some cool variation towards the end where a couple songs had sparse instrumentation. Few memorable tunes.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

An excellent Elton album. First 3 tracks were rocking.

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

A solid album. Enjoyed “someday” the most.

3/5

Starman was catchy, but nothing I would really seek out or listen to again and again.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Parklife

Blur

3/5

A decent album but nothing to write home about. Not really into the Britpop scene. Oasis did it better.

2/5

Not my thing. Some songs very tough to listen to.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

4/5

First song was an absolute banger. Second song too long, but the rest of the album was really solid. I like the psychedelic rock vibe.
