The Clash by The Clash
Mar 03 2023

It's like Green Day from the past. I did check out their later albums and liked them better, but it's interesting to see how basic punk hasn't changed much from these roots.

Disintegration by The Cure
Mar 04 2023

The music is quite nice, gives me post-rock vibes. The lyrics are interesting, but the lead singer's voice can be irritating. Always sounds like he's straining.

Mar 05 2023

Maybe I'm biased since I heard so many of these songs growing up, but I really liked this one even though I don't usually like live albums. I did go through Sam Cooke's discography after and enjoyed most of it.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 06 2023

I was already a fan of this one, but I hadn't heard the whole album in a while. I had thought The Suburbs was my favorite Arcade Fire album, but I think I was mistaken. This one is a near masterpiece.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Mar 07 2023

Some nice chill tunes, but overall it doesn't excite me much.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Mar 09 2023

Not really my taste, but interesting to listen to once. Kinda feels like a musical at some parts.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Mar 10 2023

A bit generic for me, but pretty nice.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Mar 11 2023

A surprisingly chill album from the Rolling Stones. It's nice!

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Mar 14 2023

Solsbury Hill is so good. The rest of the album feels a bit experimental to me, but I'm glad to have heard it.

Suicide by Suicide
Mar 15 2023

An unpleasant listening experience. This is the kind of music I would play to someone if I was torturing them. I guess some people could see this as art, and at least it's different. I couldn't tell that this was made in 1977, it could have just as easily been made today.

Moon Safari by Air
Mar 16 2023

It's difficult to give this an unbiased review because I used to listen to this album repeatedly in college. I still think it's great

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Mar 20 2023

Sounds like Sonic the Hedgehog 3, in a good way

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Mar 23 2023

Not mind-blowing but pleasant enough

Document by R.E.M.
Mar 25 2023

Not mind-blowing but pleasant enough

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Mar 26 2023

It all sounds the same, but it's a nice listen.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Mar 27 2023

I wasn't sure what to expect given the title. It was an interesting listen, not something I'd return to though.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Mar 29 2023

Pretty generic and boring really.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Mar 30 2023

Hard to be unbiased when I've already heard and liked the album, but it's a great one in my opinion!

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Apr 01 2023
Orbital 2 by Orbital
Apr 02 2023

When I heard the first song, I thought the album was going to be pretentious garbage. Turns out that it was just generic loops. There are some decent concepts here, but most of it is overlong. I agree with another reviewer that stated that it sounds like someone's first day with FL studio.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Apr 05 2023

Decent background music for getting work done. Much better than some of the other electronic albums on the list.

Apr 06 2023

Decent background music for getting work done. Much better than some of the other electronic albums on the list.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 08 2023

Didn't really know what to expect having heard only the hits. I think they should have selected a handful of the best songs rather than overload the album. I found their quieter songs to be the better ones, while the "heavy" ones didn't work for me from this band .

Leftism by Leftfield
Apr 10 2023

Better than a lot of the other electronic albums on this list. Doesn't get too repetitive and songs don't overstay their welcome. I think Original is my favorite track, although I was enjoying it more before the vocals kicked in.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 12 2023

Not my favorite Radiohead album, but a good one.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Apr 13 2023

This album does not put its best foot forward with the first song, but after that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I like the instrumental interludes.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Apr 14 2023

This is not something that I would seek out, but it was worth a listen. Willie uses good storytelling techniques to keep you listening, and it all sounds pleasant enough.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Apr 18 2023

I feel like all of their songs sound the same. Not bad, just meh. Nothing stands out here.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Apr 20 2023

The fact that I know half of these songs already over 50 years after this album's release shows just how many classic hits it contains.

Nixon by Lambchop
Apr 21 2023
Copper Blue by Sugar
Apr 23 2023

Generic, inoffensive.

Pump by Aerosmith
Apr 25 2023
Vivid by Living Colour
Apr 29 2023

Rocks pretty hard in some spots. Enjoyable, and I may give it another listen in future.

May 01 2023

Reading the reviews, I didn't realize that Coldplay was so polarizing! This review is through nostalgia goggles as I used to listen to this album regularly in college. I am quite fond of The Scientist, Clocks, and Green Eyes, but the rest of the album doesn't grab me as much as it used to. The Scientist is one of a handful of songs I can play on guitar, so it has a special place in my heart.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
May 03 2023
Dog Man Star by Suede
May 04 2023

Equate brand David Bowie

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
May 09 2023

Surprised this was from 1988, it sounds ahead of its time.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
May 11 2023

Decent variety, but not memorable

Whatever by Aimee Mann
May 12 2023

Nothing jumps out to me here. If you told me it was Alanis Morissette I would believe you
