Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

3/5

Not a bad album. It’s junk food for sure I’m not expecting it to be a life changing listen but it’s hick rock and rap. This album sounds like drinking a 30 rack of natty fishing and shooting BB guns

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

2/5

Plan and simple I didn’t care for this album the pacing sucked and the songs were just not that interesting. felt that it didn’t deserve to be on this list at all. If we’re being honest I was bored on my first listen and confused on my second listen even more. The rating was really only saved by Harry rag in my opinion. Not the easiest listen. These cats were not cooking or swinging unfortunately.

Hysteria

Def Leppard

5/5

Such a fun album to listen filled to the brim with bangers. Something you can truly appreciate after listening to an album that may not be great. The vibe I get from this album is like when you go to the bar and you’re in the perfect balance of chilling with the boys and being drunk. Just a great fun album.

Cypress Hill

2/5

It’s alright is about as much as I have to say about this album. Not really my thing, felt kinda bored listening it. I am yet again finding my self asking what makes this one of the albums I have to listen to before I kick it? Idk it’s okay, not an album that I’d listen to and immediately hit the boys up and tell them they need to listen to it. Scare the hoes music at times too.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Well it started out hot but then started to cool down after that. Album was a little long for my liking, felt like there was a ton of filler for no reason. Lotta slurs for no reason too but the songs we’re decent.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

4/5

Very good album, a lot of fun. Those cats were swinging goddamn were they cookin

Damaged

Black Flag

5/5

Very enjoyable Listen from a band I’ve been into for a minute. Really led the charge for punk music and set a trend. Like any album there was some down spots but it’s a fast paced punk rock rump. Henry Rollins has some crazy shit to say about frozen yogurt .

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

3/5

Garbage

1/5

Did not like thought it was boring.

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

2/5

Hey it wasn’t that bad there was some nifty parts and I like the running them of working on yourself and society as a whole she was spittin when she talked about beefing with folks. 2.75

Good Old Boys

Randy Newman

2/5

Wooooooah dude said the n-word kinda crazy. Idk the rest of the album was eh but like why did he have to do that? Idk Disney picked this guy and said fuck it let him cook.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

2/5

It was okay there was a couple songs I enjoyed but largely I felt like it was the same thing over and over again

Diamond Life

Sade

2/5

There was a couple of solid songs on that and I enjoyed the vibe was nifty just got lost at times and wanted to get through it

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Now here’s an album that gets the job done. Nothing but heavy hitters, this is the type of album that you expect to see on this type of list.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Fun album I can see why people like it. Now I’m Ngl there’s bias is this review because o know this man’s secrets okay I know what the fuck he’s been doing

Bert Jansch

2/5

Hey now I felt like I was kicking a cab down a dirt road and such. It was okay decent background sound.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

It was about what you expect when you hear AC/DC. Now I will say this listen came while I headed down through some adverse weather that was pretty cool. Nothing insane kinda wish it was another AC/DC album

Le Tigre

3/5

It wasn’t a life changing album but it was fun for what it was. The singer wasn’t the best but the other elements of the band were dope. If you listen to bands in this genre and expect the Beatles, Pink Floyd, or the doors you miss the point of the tunes.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

Loved it

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

The Undertones

4/5

Really solid album had a a lot of song I really enjoyed. The pace was good and I didn’t get bored of it easily.

Iron Maiden

3/5

I like Iron Maiden this album is about what I expected from them. Classic tunes they make me feel like I burning a huge pile of leaves in the fall

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Very solid album filled with bangers. Summer night type beat.

Homework

Daft Punk

1/5

There is zero reason for this album to be as long as it is. Rollin and scratchin and around the world are prime examples of songs too long for no reason. If you listen to a minute and a half of around the world and stopped that would be enough, no reason for it to be nearly 7 minutes. Repetitive and boring I guess I don’t get daft punk

Dire Straits

5/5

I’m a sucker for these old punk albums. I get why folks would like it but they still give me the vibes of an old skate video. Also the lead singers name is jello and the dude who played guitars name is east bay ray. Top tier names

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

1/5

It was okay not good tho. This shit was PlayStation 1 background music which honestly would’ve been much cooler. It was music that sounded like it was trying hard to be fine art. 1.75

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

I’ve always really enjoyed this album and feel there aren’t any skips. It has a lot of exposure and can get played out but it’s for good reason there are classics on it.

The xx
