John Lennon

2/5

Lennon is mid.

Garbage

3/5

Solid 3.5/5. Fun, upbeat, eccentric. Solid debut by Garbage. I don't think it's anything new or interesting, just a pleasant listen through.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

3/5

I can respect it, but I don't think it's anything groundbreaking.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

Terry Kath's guitar is awesome. This album is filled with unique arrangements and lots of trumpets and clean vocals. A nice mix of jazz and rock.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Not great, not bad. Kind of forgettable. There are a few notable tracks, but for the most part, compared to Electric Lady Land or Are You Experienced? this isn't Jimi's best work.

Violator

Depeche Mode

2/5

Not my style...

Killing Joke

4/5

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

It's pretty good. Some absolute bangers, but not amazing through and through.

Slipknot

4/5

My personal favorite of theirs. It's raw and angsty, without being pretentious.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

5/5

Fantastic album if you want to kill yourself!

Odelay

Beck

4/5

Beck's best album. Slacker rock at its finest.

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

It's a solid effort by Stills. The songs ebb and flow well together. There are a few standout tracks, but nothing mind blowing nor at the same level as when he's with Crosby, Nash, and Young.

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

4/5

Contains some of Tim's most accessible songs, but also breaking the barrier into his primal side with songs like Gypsy Woman.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

4/5

Solid Neil album.

Bummed

Happy Mondays

3/5

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

3/5

Kinda mid. I like Pink Floyd's early more psychedelic stuff, but not this.

California

American Music Club

5/5

Their best work. A sad, but real album, full of melancholic songs, but the occasional upbeat one. The last song is a real tear-jerker.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Solid album, not nearly as good as Paranoid or Master of Reality. Never realized "Changes" was a Sabbath song.

LP1

FKA twigs

4/5

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

4/5

Loved this. It was unique (to me), full of heart, passion, and soul.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

There was a time and place for this music. It really amped you up and feel alive at the time. Unfortunately, I just think it didn't age very well. The times have changed and so has my love for this kind of indie rock. I can see the appeal, but it isn't for me anymore.

Tom Tom Club

3/5

I think it's a solid effort. Very artsy, with some nice melodies and funky tunes. Nothing spectacular though.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Franz Ferdinand

2/5

This album is just incredibly boring. Every song sounds the same to me.

The La's

3/5

Pretty mid. One of the best and most iconic songs in \"There She Goes,\" but other than that, there is a bunch of misses.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

3/5

I can respect it, it's just not my cup of tea. Dad rock and it sounds so outdated. They can sure jam though.

Shleep

Robert Wyatt

3/5

Probably a solid 3.5. Not my favorite from Robert Wyatt, but a pleasant listen.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

2/5

I just don't love the progressive power pop genre. I can see how this could be appealing for others, but it doesn't do it for me.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

4/5

Not every song is incredible and it's a bit too long, but there are some great tracks on here. Solid 7-8/10

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

My favorite LCD Soundsystem album. It just hits all the right boxes for me. Upbeat, nostalgic, and many more.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

Solid 3. Not groundbreaking by any means. Some highlights, but mostly filler.

Country Life

Roxy Music

3/5

Solid album. Good flow. Not nearly as good as their first album though. It's lacking the originality that it had then. 3.5/5

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

Some bangers on here for sure. A lot of filler, however. I can see how this would appeal to the large markets. It's a fun listen. Nothing groundbreaking.

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

2/5

This album is pretty ass.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

3/5

I remember thinking I was super edgy listening to this when I was young. The vocals and songs are a bit too angsty for my liking now, but the musicianship wasn't bad. Solid 3.

Make Yourself

Incubus

3/5

I love this album but I don't think it's necessarily good. 3/5.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

The 80s produced some terrible music. This is a part of that. I get that some might find it enjoyable, but it was very much a time and a place kind of music. That time is not now.

2112

Rush

3/5

Not really my cup of tea. This prog/dad rock with the unoriginal and uninspiring vocals. Music was fine, some bright spots but not something I need to listen to before I die. Old heads are going to love this stuff.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

I'm not a big fan of country. These are some heartfelt and powerful songs, but I don't think the musicianship is anything to be desired. If you're going through a tough time, this album would help you through it.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

4/5

Cool jazz at its finest. Easy to listen to but interesting enough to keep me piqued throughout.

Teen Dream

Beach House

3/5

An ethereal, calm, easy to listen to album. 3.5/5.

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

5/5

A masterpiece. Just such a fun and unique album.
