Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

Cypress Hill

2/5

I can definitely see why this was recommended and I heard some songs I recognized but I probably wouldn’t throw it on in a daily basis.

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

2/5

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

5/5

I wasn’t excited to put this in at first but it was a banger front to back. Would listen again.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

5/5

I was excited to listen because I knew their hits but had never listened to a full album of theirs. This album was great. One thing that stuck out to me was how immaculate the production was. Everything sounds so crisp and clean and every note sounded intentional. I only listened to the album one time through but I am planning to listen again on a 1001 free weekend.

Abbey Road

Beatles

3/5

I failed my assignment and didn’t listen to the whole thing and believe it or not there were a lot of songs I hadn’t heard before. I enjoyed what I did listen to, though.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

There’s definitely some nostalgia at play here for me. These songs have such somber tones and catchy melodies. This album definitely had an impact on my song writing and overall taste in music.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

3/5

Dominion/mother russia - really catchy. Love the classic 80s vibe. Flood I - also good but sounded similar to the previous track Lucretia my reflection - that fat bass riff. Love it. Wanting to throw on sunglasses during my 5am commute at this point. 1959 - bringing it down a little with some softer piano. Kind of cheesy. Piano recording quality is terrible. This corrosion - not bad but I started getting bored at this point and arrived at work. I listened to the remaining songs on the way home and although I thought they were good, nothing really stood out to me. I enjoyed this album for what it was and I was pumped to get another album from an artist I had never heard of. Loved the 80s goth vibes but the album really lost my interest after 1959. Would listen to the first three tracks again.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

3/5

Wilco is always recommended to me by Spotify and Heavy Metal Drummer is on my current playlist. I hadn’t heard an album of theirs in full before this one, though. First listen: bored to tears to be honest. The next morning I caught myself humming the chorus of Kamera so I threw the album on again and I really enjoyed it this time. Favorite tracks: Ashes of American Flags Kamera Heavy Metal Drummer Pot Kettle Black Honestly just the entire last half of the album is great. I’m still trying to figure out my personal 5 point scale but I’m giving this a 3 because I thoroughly enjoyed it but it’s not going to be on repeat.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

2/5

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

4/5

New to me. Would listen to it again.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

Beastie boys

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

"it sounds like this band played the same song in a bunch of different ways until they found one that white people would play at every event" Nah but for real I was pleasantly surprised.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

2/5

Good drum work. Really liked Then She Did… and Classic Girl. Probably wouldn’t listen again.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

1/5

Almost had to choose did not listen because I nearly fell asleep. Boring.

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

I loved this. It was very entertaining.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

2/5

Good, classic music. Really enjoyed it but didn’t absolutely love it.

Woodface

Crowded House

5/5

Already love this band’s radio hits. I had never heard this album. Absolutely loved it. The bass lines slap. Favorite songs: chocolate cake, it’s only natural, fall at your feet, weather with you, four seasons in one day, there goes god (interesting lyrics), as sure as I am. Wow what an album. Will definitely listen to this again.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

Another solid album. I love the hits on this album but it felt less cohesive overall than pretzel logic.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

Finally got around to listening to this. I’m not usually a fan of live albums but this was phenomenal.

The La's

5/5

Going in I only knew their hit. The album was really nice. Despite never having heard it, it gave me a pang of nostalgia. And the last song on the album hit me like a ton of bricks. Very glad to have listened.

Pink Flag

Wire

3/5

Loved the fact that none of the songs overstayed their welcome - made this a very easy listen. Lots of catchy Melodie’s. Great drum work and awesome vocals.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

Gorillaz

4/5

It’s no demon days, but this album is a classic.

2/5

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

4/5

Surprisingly awesome.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

1/5

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

2/5

Better than the last Jane’s addiction album we had. Still not my bag baby. I know I’m supposed to be reviewing the album and not the list itself, but why are there so many artists with multiple albums? I’d rather see an artist’s defining album and then move on.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

3/5

I love how interesting the guitar riffs are. This album has some real gems.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

3/5

Not at all what I expected but a very fun listen. Lots of catchy tunes.

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

1/5

Ok this wasn’t objectively bad but I am not sure why it was on here. The ocean was pretty good but overall this album was not memorable.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

2/5

Glad I got to hear this because without this list I wouldn’t have. Very enjoyable.

Beck

5/5

It was no Kanye west but still pretty good.

Nick Drake

5/5

Loved what this man could do with a guitar and his voice. Very comforting music. Loved it.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

I knew all the tracks but had never listened to the album front to back. It’s insane that they have so many great songs on this album. Wow.

Aja

3/5

3/5

2/5

4/5

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

4/5

Some good classics. Overall not my favorite Beatles.

Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear

5/5

Two weeks is a special song to me but I hadn’t really heard the rest of the album before. Fun fact, I actually saw them open for spoon and remember the front man saying “we just want everyone to know we have more songs than Two Weeks.” And it turns out they were right. This album was a real treat.

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

2/5

5/5
