Joanna Newsom

2/5

The way she sings is quite similar to Björk, and I really like Björk but in this instance I feel like it's detracting from the music immensely. I really like this project except for her vocals. It's a shame.

All That You Can't Leave Behind

1/5

I get why people hate U2 now. This is truly awful. Not a single redeemable track.

Moby

3/5

Love the piano on Honey, it is quite repetitive though Okay so I assume this album is gonna be very repetitive. Even though the music is quite strong I feel like the repetitiveness is gonna get annoying quite fast for me personally. I feel like I'll quite enjoy this album but not enough to where I'll actually listen to any of it by itself. I'm now at Everloving and I was right lol. Most of the songs now are fine but it's getting stale. Yeah I was really done with it for the final couple of songs. The repetitiveness works well for the first half or so and I assume they'll be fine to listen to when listened to on their own but a whole album is too much for me.

Bad Company

2/5

It's rock alright. It's fine but it doesn't excite me that much? Don't Let Me Down is boring. Yeah I mean it's rock alright.

Faith

George Michael

3/5

I don't think I've ever listened to Faith the song or the album. It's pop that is good but I haven't heard anything yet that makes me think damn. Yeah it's fine.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Sexy What's Going On, what's not to love?

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Didn't know this is the album You Make Me Feel came from. It's a great record, she's has an amazing vocal performance. I'm more of a fan of the groovy songs on here.

The Yes Album

Yes

It's good music, just didn't necessarily click with me sadly.

2/5

I'm not a huge fan of the vocals, which kind of ruin the project for me. I do like the instrumentals.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

2/5

There's some songs on here that I enjoy like "Sunday Shining" and "Supreme I Preme", but the rest of it is either a bit boring or doesn't make me feel much. I hate "I Need a Lover".

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

5/5

Classic.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

4/5

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

More like a 3.5 but it was a bit too same-y and for me. I can see how this could be your favourite album though!

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Different from what I would usually listen to but it's fun! I don't think I'll listen to this very often though.

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

3/5

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

Very pleasantly surprised by this one, I had seen the cover of it before and thought it looked cool but never gave it a shot. Glad it showed up in the list!

Cypress Hill

4/5

Born To Be With You

Dion

2/5

I feel like it's just kind of bland.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

2/5

Apparently it's supposed to sound bad, that doesn't mean I'll enjoy it because it still sounds bad. Had a good moment here and there.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Vespertine

Björk

5/5

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

2/5

Not necessarily bad, just extremely boring.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Not what I usually listen to, but thoroughly enjoyed it!

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

4/5

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

It's more of a 3.5, but the mix really bothers me enough to make it a 3 and not a 4.

Solid Air

John Martyn

4/5

Great for a nice evening!

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

This is really a 3.5 but it's more towards a 4 than a 3. Mostly great with some really fun moments, but I have no words for No Words.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

2/5

I already knew Supermassive Black Hole, which I actually quite liked. The rest of the album is too clean and "epic" for my taste, the lyrics also do nothing for me at all so I will probably never revisit this ever.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

The title track is obviously exceptional. The rest is also really good, but it never gets to that level again sadly. Still fun listen.

Soul Mining

The The

3/5

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Perfectly serviceable first album, but nothing that stands out to me.

Ctrl

SZA

3/5

I'm very indifferent about this album. Although I can totally get how this can be a vibe for people, it's not for me. It's more of a 2.5, but more worthy of a 3 than a 2.

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

2/5

Music was fine but not a fan of the vocals. It got especially bad on Metal Postcard.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

It's very close to being a 4. The first 4 tracks of the album are all amazing, then the middle is fine but nothing amazing and then it picks back up at the end. With the exception of Everything Will Be Alright that one I don't really care about.

Fleet Foxes

3/5

It's actually a 3.5 but I feel like it's just not varied and engaging enough to warrant a 4. I did enjoy my time with it, however I wonder how often it will be revisited with time.

Winter In America

Gil Scott-Heron

3/5

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

These songs are great, but the tracklist is also a bit bloated. I feel like it's right between good and great but a couple of songs could have been cut.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

I obviously knew Bat Out Of Hell and Paradise By The Dashboard Light but never heard the full album. While those two tracks are definitely the standout moments, It was an overall enjoyable album.

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

Virgin Suicides

Air

3/5

Connected

Stereo MC's

2/5

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

It's a good album. It's very stripped back but beautiful. I do like Blackstar more which came out in the same year and has the same themes. Actual score is a 3.5 but it's closer to a 4 than a 3 I think.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

2/5

Maybe I'm not in the right mindset for this album right now, but it's kind of like a boring Fiona Apple.

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

4/5

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

3/5

Pretty good, with some absolute standouts ("Hey Ya!" as an obvious example) but quite long and the last part of The Love Below is just not good.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

4/5

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

I did not care for this album at all. Maybe I just don't get it yet.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

Yes it's dad rock. But I enjoy dad rock so.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

The xx

2/5

I've never heard of this group so to see the intro having more than half a billion streams on Spotify and a lot of other 100+ million I was quite excited to listen to it. I was sorely disappointed. The only thing that is keeping me from giving this a 1 is the instrumentation which at points is quite nice and I do like the intro.

Death In Vegas

3/5

Loved Dirge. I loved the instrumentals, though the vocal performances did ruin some songs. The back half is not as interesting as the front half.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

3/5

It's fine. Very inoffensive but nothing that stood out.

Me Against The World

2Pac

3/5

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

Skiba bedepaboo jazz

Germs

2/5

The first album where I was genuinely debating if I should give it a 1. I absolutely cannot stand the vocals here. I'm sure it was very influential for its time and it's amazing if you're really into the genre, but it's sadly not for me.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

If you took hip hop and reduce it for a couple of hours this album would be the result.

2/5

The first half had some pretty decent songs in it. I really liked the opener Terrapin, but after Octopus it went downhill really quickly with If It's in You being the worst offender.

Paul's Boutique

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

I was ready to hate this album after the first 4 songs. Luckily, after that the songs got better and overall I did enjoy the rest of it.

Here Come The Warm Jets

More of a 3.5. On Some Faraway Beach is beautiful.

Not bad, just proper bland.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

3/5

The Beastie Boys are just not for me. I see the influence and I don't hate their songs, just their rapping style is not for me.

I can tell it's good, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. It's a 4 because it's a classic but it's somewhere between a 3 and a 4 for me.

Rapture

Anita Baker

3/5

This is far from terrible but I don't really get it's placement on the list. The songs are all 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 but apart from Mystery there wasn't another song that I thought was great.

3.5. I've only listened to The Bends fully and a bit of Pablo Honey and A Moon Shaped Pool. I did quite enjoy The Bends but I haven't quite connected with their other material. This album is quite hit or miss.
