This is still one of the catchiest rock albums ever. I remember discovering this one on my own around 1989 long after it was big but when heavy metal was at its height. This has all the guitars but with more melodies and harmonies. Just a great listen. A home run. Still 5 stars!

Court And Spark
Joni Mitchell
This album is an absolute masterpiece. Every song is like nothing I've ever heard before, yet undeniably beautiful. It's as if Mitchell used music to provide a glimpse into her psyche in real time. For anyone who has ever had or loved someone who suffers from social anxiety, the lyrics will take on a meaning that is therapeutic. Just an amazing album.

Incredible album. I had heard novocaine in the 90s and liked it, but never bought the album. I wish I had. The whole thing comes together in thoughtful and unusual ways. Great songs and song variety.

The Real Thing
Faith No More
I had forgotten how good this album is. I loved this album when it came out in 1989. I played it to death back then and saw the band open for GnR and Metallica. It definitely requires one to like rock/metal, but if you do, it holds up over time.

Still amazing after all these years, especially side 2. Listened to this every night to go to sleep in the fraternity house my sophomore year 1990-1991.

Black Holes and Revelations
Muse
Some moments of brilliance and then a few songs that may grow on me over time, but that don't seem at the moment to be at the same level of heights as the others. Overall, a good album, and one I had not listened to before.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Genesis
I listened to a lot of Genesis in junior high/early high school. I favored the Phil Collins stuff at the time. This album was Peter Gabriel, although he sounded just like Phil Collins. It is more progressive/experimental than the Phil Collins years. It's good, but there's not a lot of ear worms here to stay with you. Still, a good listen.

The Temptations
So many classics on one album, and I never knew The Temptations sang several of these. Definitely worth listening to, but I doubt I'll be dusting this one off to play frequently. These have become songs for movie soundtracks, but as an album, it just feels so dated.

This album feels like a combination of Radiohead, the Pretenders, a splash of Fiona Apple/Karen O/Amy Winehouse. In general, solid, but somewhat forgettable. Will I ever return to this one? I kind of doubt it.
