Not terrible, and some interesting sounds going on, but the singer is just so bad. Honestly this is a big pattern I've been noticing, where the instrumentalists are pretty much always solid (punk aside but that's punk) - but band's are often dragged down by subpar vocals. Like I would like this album more if you just stripped the vocals away.

Life's Too Good
The Sugarcubes
Suuper weird. Overall I found this good but not great. Some of the weirdness didn't coalesce into something I could enjoy. But some of it did! So going for a 4 star.

OK. Didn't really like the vocals. Very 80s.

Not a fan of country, but this was decently enjoyable. What a difference having a good vocalist makes. Even though I don't really like the style, and some of the songs felt overly simple, it was not a bad listen.

I'm sure I would enjoy this more if I knew French. Very passionate singing. Normally I don't like live albums but I don't mind this being live, great energy.

Never heard of them, and seems there's a good reason. This is not interesting.

Morrissey
Liking this way better than the Smiths so far. OK maybe I just liked the first song. Some parts I really enjoyed but overall it was just fine.

Old country. There's too many albums I'd rather listen to.

Youth And Young Manhood
Kings of Leon
I liked this better than the later Kings of Leon albums, it sounds much grittier. I really didn't like the vocals here though, like he wasn't enunciating at all. First song kind of pulled me in but the slow songs were awful.

This was probably the best house I've listened to. But I don't really like house.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic
King Crimson
I really liked In the Court of the Crimson King so I was excited to see King Crimson pop up again, but I didn't really enjoy this. It had some moments, but overall it didn't feel like it was really leading anywhere. The arrangement felt pretty sparse too which I didn't love. I tried it a couple times but probably won't revisit.

Definitely too long. Parts were pretty fun though! Has that very 80s sound that I don't love. Bonus points for Relax

The College Dropout
Kanye West
Better than I expected - I had only listened to one full Kanye album before and I really didn't like that. This had some great production, which makes sense, and some surprisingly good stuff from Kanye. But it definitely falls short for me. Way too long. Annoying skits. And, well, Kanye.

Morrissey
Really didn't need 3 albums by this guy. Oh jeez just checked and he has 4 solo albums on this list + 3 with the Smiths. His voice is fine and the music is ok I guess but it falls flat a bit for me like it's kind of bland.
