Frank Sinatra

5/5

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

50 Cent

3/5

Not relatable. The hits are still great though.

British Steel

Judas Priest

5/5

Well balanced berween metal and ballads. Would love more high tempo tracks though

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5

Can only listen to half on YouTube as album is not available on other streaming platforms

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

4/5

Very pleasant album. Not something I'd usually listen to so it's a surprise.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

4/5

Very soothing, but a bit too much fillers for my taste.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Not sure if familiarity plays a factor, but the album was phenomenal, cleverly produced and written.

The Clash

5/5

Much better than Should I stay Or Should I Go. Nonetheless I was expecting a little more oomph.

S&M

Metallica

5/5

Only had time for half the album but it was brilliant. The resonance echos works well with all the layers of instruments.

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

Was only listen to a few tracks since the majority wasn't available on Spotify. Pleasant to the ears but this genre has been overplayed recently in my area so there wasn't a surprise factor.

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

The lyrics are alright. Reminds me a little of how Taylor Swift writes. Not what I would seek out to listen to though

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

Perfect album for the holiday season. Whether by chance or not, thank you developer.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

5/5

Metallica hasn't disappoint so far. The guitar riffs are compelling.

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

4/5

Nice rock material.

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

Very nice album. May visit again some time.

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

Ehhh idk, the lyrics are clever, but, similar to the Lorde album, I'm more drawn to instrumental than words, and the mixing here has too much highs, especially in the snares that it ruins the experience.

Miriam Makeba

5/5

Sensational. Xhosa is such a beautiful language.

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

Chill vibes. A lot of cool riffs I can learn from.

Teenage Head

Flamin' Groovies

4/5

Solid album. I'm a little worn out with blues and boogie though. Still a good listen nonetheless.

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

4/5

Superb production and beats. A bit too much profanity though

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

It was alright. I know it's rock but it's also kinda cinematic

Either Or

Elliott Smith

5/5

This album stands out from an array of rock albums with some folk flare and breathy intimate vocals. Loved it.

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

The album is well written with great production. The wind instrument was a highlight. Nonetheless, I'm still hung up on previous album vocal style that i found Bowie voice just standard. I think the entire uk is coming for me

Tommy

The Who

5/5

Nice and effortless sounding album overall. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

4/5

I can see why people held this album in high regards. Classic rock. I'm still in my rock fatigue stage though so I can't give it 5 stars.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

5/5

Easy listen

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

5/5

Need to study how he wrote songs in 3/4

evermore

Taylor Swift

5/5

Not a Swiftie but this album is very well produced and balanced. Same with Lorde, i usually don't like storytelling lyrics but this album Swift doesn't grind my gears as much

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

Great feel good album. Very well produced.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

5/5

Loved loved lived the synths

5/5

Classic album that pioneers electronic music movements

5/5

Very quirky and fun album. Chaotic energy.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

Too old school for me

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

5/5

Not the most outstanding album here but I had a good time.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

5/5

Brilliant album. Vibrato is a hit or miss for me but his is stunning. His resonance is notable too. Overall the production is also well balanced and pleasing.

Exit Planet Dust

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

4/5

Quite enjoyed it

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

My only qualm is that, if you're gonna recommend the studio version of this album, why bother showing multiple live Metallica album before. It took the magic out of the listening experience.

Loved it. The jazzy vibe was fitting with what my mind needed.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

5/5

Surprisingly enjoyed it though the composition is simpler than many other albums

Cypress Hill

5/5

Great album using sampling. Usually I find it hard to vibe with album depicting black culture since there's a lot of excessive seating involved, but the lyrical content of this album is just the right balance

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Just when i thought i lost hope in rock. Zeppelin shows that there are still good albums out there.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

Solid 4. No more. No less.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

Heard a few songs before. After listening to the whole album, I find the message is powerful, but the production doesn't sound either classic or innovative.

Nina Simone

4/5

It's alright.
