I actually expected this album to be better. But the most well-known songs are awesome.

Amazing atmosphere all the way through. Will definitely listen again

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Good but not great. There are some interesting songs and ideas but won't keep my attention for the 41 min of runtime.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

1/5

Not really my style. The remastered version in Spotify is too bloated with alternate takes. A few good songs but mostly forgettable.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

First half is pretty good; it's fun and bouncy. Second half gets pretty spacey and drawn out. An experimental record with hits and misses.

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

2/5

There are some fun samples but otherwise didn't really click for me.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

First half is nearly unlistenable. Second half is a bit better, especially \"Feet Music\". Not my style at all.

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

3/5

Nice hip hop album, consistent and well produced.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

Great blues rock album, unexpectedly so actually.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Very fun to listen to, great holiday spirit. Merry Christmas!

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

4/5

Excellent album. Reminds me of Kate Bush sometimes. Thought it was going to be boring because of the size, but I was thankfully wrong.

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

2/5

Some good songs, and the singer singing gibberish is different and fun, but didn't quite make an impression.

Closer

Joy Division

1/5

Didn't really stick for me. I like some Joy Division songs, but they aren't on this album.

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

Very atmospheric but didn't make an impression.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

3/5

I expected more from such a decorated album. RIP Chris Cornell.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

2/5

An alright folk album with some interesting songs. Not exactly looking forward to listen again.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Fun electronic beats and some interesting ideas.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

3/5

Fun time! Cool jazzy folk vibes with a lot of personality. Enjoyable listen.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

I actually expected this album to be better. But the most well-known songs are awesome.

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Enjoyable listen. Some songs kinda sound the same, but I can't say I didn't expect that.

1977

Ash

3/5

Some cool songs, but it does get repetitive in the second half.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

2/5

Pure 80's pop. Really dig the bass lines, but otherwise unremarkable.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

Nice. "A Day at the Races" and "What's Golden" kick ass, and the rest of the songs are strong as well.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

2/5

I don't know why, but I expected more. Guess it's back to "Savoir Faire".

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

3/5

Enjoyable album, especially the first half.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

2/5

Some cool moments here and there, but otherwise unremarkable.

S&M

Metallica

2/5

A good way to experience Metallica. Too bad it's a live session.

Quiet Life

Japan

3/5

Never heard of this band before. Cool 80's sound but nothing that big of a deal?

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

One day my music taste will be refined enough that I can fully appreciate this. Today's not that day.

Paris 1919

John Cale

3/5

It took a while to pick up but I liked when it did.

Beautiful Freak

Eels

4/5

Very interesting band and album, right up my alley.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Fun listen, I might just get into reggae one of these days.

Van Halen

4/5

Great rock album. Really a classic of its genre.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

I mean... It's passable, I think? Layla and Little Wing really drive the entire album. It's baffling why Layla was left so late in the tracklist.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

It sounds like generic 80's music. The second half of the album is miles better than the first though.
