I was very excited to listen to this album because I have never heard of Television
This album has aged very well. You could tell me that this album either came out in 1977 or 2017 and I would believe either one
Love the pronounced bass and the 2 guitars it sounds like
I thought the song Marquee Moon ended 3 different times but it kept coming back
Really really enjoy this album I will be re-listening many times

We then went back to my apartment in Towson which I had just moved into that day and sat with Mike Myers and crushed a bag of Franzia while watching Always Sunny and playing pong. Dan thought that the bed he slept on gave him bed bugs and it almost made me move out of my apartment in one day

Just an old fashioned no nonsense techno album just like Grandpa would have liked it.
I wonder if these old techno artists ever had the thought that they would influence DJs in the 2020s to create music that would have millennials show up to Echostage while rolling harder than a wheel of cheese going do a hill in Gloucester on a brisk fall day and dance around with glowy tips on their fingers while sucking down lollipops.
I really liked that in one of the songs they took the sound of an F1 car flying by and used it on repeat as an effect.

I really wish that Seven Nation Army wasn't ruined by being played at every single sporting event because that is such an epic song.

I didn't know that it was possible to go from really weird erotica, to punk, to funk all in the same album but this insane man was able to do it.
At first I was going to have to knock the album, but honestly the creativity and uniqueness won me back by the end.
The only thing I could think in the beginning was that his voice sounded like the parody of Randy Newman from Family Guy

I see Alice in Chains, I get excite. So many of their hits on this album. Junkfuck yeahhhhhh, Junkhead into Dirt is a sneaky good combo of 2 lesser known songs. The opening bass line of Would give me the chills everytime.
Fun fact, Angry Chair in midi version was used as one of the songs in Doom 98 for computer back in the 90s. That game rules.
The grunginess of this album makes me feel like I need to take a shower after listening to it and I mean that in a great way.
The only song I don't like on this album is Sickman, but then Rooster comes after it which fixes everything.

I don't know if I have ever listened to them. They sound like if Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins merged. The way that they play guitar and drums make it seem like every one of these songs could be in Rock Band the video game.
The more that the album goes on the less I like it to be honest. I can't really tell a difference in any of the songs and the singer just doesn't seem to fit in with the style of heavy rock.

Everybody Has a Dream is such a good closing song with the slow build up into the intense choir singing then ending with the piano outro and the same whistling as The Stranger

That may have been the strongest song called "Intro" ever and got me hooked right away. VCR->Crystalised->Islands continued the jams and I thought this was going to become my new favorite album. The middle got a bit boring and repetitive. But then Night Time came on and hooked me back in.

This music is not really my jaunt but I can see where it was really good at the time I think? Just for fun I am going to take the side that he was completely overrated.

If I remember hearing correctly this is still the highest selling debut album by a band ever.
First 5 songs are all fast paced typical sounding classic rock songs highlighted by Foreplay / Long Time which is defintely the jam of this album with the long lead in. Last 3 songs slow down but still have very solid guitar solos. Something About You is lowkey a heater.
I have heard this album so many times so I don't want to be biased based on nostalgia, but this album rocks I enjoy every single song on here. There is nothing really spectacular about it but it is just completely solid all around.

Pretty standard sounding album until it got to Suburban War then it started picking up a bit. Sprawl II was probably my favorite song, it was cool that it sounded like a new singer. Pretty underwhelming compared to the Funeral album from a couple weeks ago

Electric Ladyland
Jimi Hendrix
Just the most ultimate face melting shredding possible. Voodoo Chile just keeps going and going and gets better.
Little Miss Strange confused me with the singing when it came on I thought the album was over. Then it went into Jimi doing his thing and I knew we were still on.
Some certainly trippy songs on this album which I didn't expect from Jimi. Mainly Burning of the Midnight Lamp.
1983 is absolutely a Merman he should turn to be. And by that I mean it is a certified jam session.
This is a very long album, but I am mostly ok with it because all the songs are unique and the jams just keep flowing.
All Along the Watchtower may be the greatest cover ever. Voodoo Child to end it is perfect.
I really liked this album but there are some songs that are pretty forgettable. So this is a very high 4 for me.

Two Dancers
Wild Beasts
Very solid album all the way through which I enjoyed listening to. Nothing really stood out in particular except for the different singers voices were very unique and were the focl points of the album. Through the Iron Gate at the end was probably my favorite with the nice little guitar riff that they kept repeating. Would probably need to listen to the album again to get a good appreciation for it, but thorugh first listen it was solid.

One World
John Martyn
Really funky Clapton sounds in the first song. Pink Floyd vibes in the second song
This singer has a really nice raspy funky voice
I like how you can have no idea what type of song is going to come next each song is so unique. Could be funk, rock, jazz, or trippy.
They way that Small Hours is the ending just being super peaceful with some nice ambient wave music was the perfect way to cap off the album.
This would an excellent drugs album
This is exactly what I love about this album of the day thing. I had no idea who John Martyn was going into this but now I feel like I have to learn everything about him. Absolute 5/5

All Hope Is Gone
Slipknot
This is such a great album to cut the grass to by murdering those blades of grass and head banging the entire time
Sulfur is classic slipknot singing
Psychosocial has been on my snowboarding playlist for years and is a song that I could absolutely see myself getting in a fight with a Jerry too
Didn't realize how many bangers were on this album I didnt know many of the song names. Sulfur, psychosocial, and dead memories all go so hard
The album was starting to lose me for a bit just turned into way too much metal. But Snuff brought it back that's a new song for me which was great.
The drumming on the album is definitely the highlight that man is banging some skincans hard
There were definite highs and lows on this album. The highs were just so baller that they outweighed the lows

Paint it Black and Under my Thumb are the two songs I knew on this album and they are both great songs. Every other song didn't really stand out and just sounded like pretty generic classic rock songs.

Not at all what I was expecting from Bob Dylan to start with Love Sick, but then looked and saw this album is from 1997 so a much different style.
This whole album is kind of weird sounding Bob Dylan does the 90s blues with a weird singing voice.
Cold Iron Bound is definitely my top song on this one. Other than that nothing really stood out.
I wish this was like 30 minutes shorter. They could have cut out the whole last song that seemed like it was never going to end.
Was thinking a 2 on this but the instrumentals are quite good so I'll go low 3

Kanye West
Dark fantasy is an awesome start with the choir singing.
The POWER>All of the lights section gets me so hyped I love when those songs come on while I'm snowboarding.
Monster is a crazy song but it fits so well with the outrageousness of the album.
I love the amount of people on So Appalled they were just tossing that song around and each taking a turn throwing in a verse.
The whole song of Runaway is a beautiful song but the piano outro in particular really makes the song.
The ending of Blame Game is hilarious I think that is Chris Rock which would make sense.
Such an incredible album I may have not ever listened to it all the way through which is a shame that I have waited this long. Easy 5.

Such deep dark Sabbath. I love how spooky it starts with the beginning of Black Sabbath then just goes into some face melting.
The harmonica on Wizard to follow it up is a great transition.
The remaining songs are just hard guitar riffs with Ozzys signature voice to go on top of it. NIB being the highlight of that. I like how it's only technically 5 songs but there are about 10 songs on it.

I felt like I was changing between being in a nightmare then into a good dream then back to a nightmare this whole album.

This album kept me on edge the entire time and I had no idea what was coming next. You would have to be really messed up to want to take drugs and listen to this album.
This might be the hardest album to rate so far. It was so strange but I also kind of appreciated it for what it was and found myself enjoying it in the background. I'm going to have to put this at a 3 because there were parts that I loved but then also parts I hated. Such an interesting concept to make a soundtrack for a non-existent movie.

Very unique style of music with the singer being the main focal point with his crazy change of voice. I had to look it up to make sure it wasn't two singers.
I didn't really have any standout moments on this album except for Epic which I already knew, but Woodpecker from Mars was a pretty good harsh instrumental to end it on. Those two songs earned this album a 3, but it is a low 3.
I don't think I will ever listen to another album of theirs by choice, it is just not my style.

Oar
Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Read his Wikipedia and he has a crazy backstory where he wrote and recorded this album in 7 days after being released from a mental hospital for a "delusional-driven" attempt to attack his band members. The album cover art certainly makes him look like he has some psychological problems. Skip played every instrument on this album.
Starts off sounded like a typical southern rock kind of album, but then got really trippy at War in Peace. But after that went back to what it started out as, just a bit darker.
Grey/Afro made me really uncomfortable which is probably the point. The strange drum beats and low singing voice was just straight spooky. What a way to end this incredibly dark album. I wish it was more of the War on Peace style. I cannot get over how uncomfortably weird this album was. I have never heard of Skip Spence and I probably won't listen to anything of his again. But I did enjoy this enough for a 3.

The Age Of The Understatement
The Last Shadow Puppets
Oh hell yes a supergroup featuring Alex Turner. I knew the voice sounded familiar when I started the album.
Love the strings in Stand Next to Me. Then more strings on The Chamber are also great. I love rock bands that incorporate strings.
Ok now this is just turning into a straight up symphony with Only the Truth.
Such an awesome album from a band that I did not know existed, I wish they were in my life much earlier. The orchestral instruments that they are able to blend in with the rock is one of my favorite styles of music. And with Alex Turner being the front man and this guy Miles being the backing vocals for most of the songs just creates a perfect vocal combination.
Easy 5, going to go listen to their other album right after this.

During some times in the album I was thinking of giving it a 4, but then other points were quite boring and kind of all blended together. So this is a high 3.
I did really like the last song Caught By the River that had pretty high energy and was probably the best song on the album.

The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden
I have listened to this album so many times that it is going to be very hard to give this anything other than a 5.
Starts off so strong with Invaders, it really just sets the tone for the whole album with the speed guitar and drums.
22 Acacia Avenue has some of the smoothest high-hat work during the chorus that for some reason I have always really liked in this song. Then the slow down after the first 2 times going through the chorus to just slowly melt your face, followed by it picking back up to melt your face quickly to finish the song is quintessential Maiden.
Number of the Beast is the song that introduced me to Iron Maiden becasue it was featured in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4, so no matter what I will always have a soft spot for that song.
The drumming in Run to the Hills in the very beginnning and 3/4 of the way through get me so pumped up every time I listen. Combine that with the high energy drawn out lyrics and Bruce's voice make for such a fire song.
Gangland is really the only knock I have on this album for some reason this song doesn't really do anything for me. Something about the cadence of the way he sings it just kind of throws off the album. If they would have just gone straight from Run to the Hills into one of my favorite songs of all time, Hallowed Be Thy Name, this would be a near perfect album for me.
Speaking of Hallowed Be Thy name, the bells that start it off give me serious chills every time I hear them. Then the whole song just builds up with increasing speeds to the climax of the song which is right at the very end. Perfect way to cap off such an amazing album.

Probably the trippiest rap album I've heard. Which makes sense with Thundercat featuring.
Alright if such a banger, enough said.
i really shows the range of Kendrick by just completely changing the tempo and beat from the rest of the album
This album is all over the place in a great way. I was engaged in listening the whole time cause there were no boring parts at all.
Mortal man is an extremely impressive 7 minutes of song followed by the speaking between Kendrick and someone else which is a perfect outro

Tubular Bells
Mike Oldfield
Starts off with very spooky mysterious bells and piano. Jumps around all over the place from heavy to soft. I really laughed at about 20 minutes when they started listing the instruments that were coming up. The Glockenspiel/Bass guitar combo was fire. Oh hell the "2 slightly distorted" guitars might be the best. Nevermind the mandolin takes it. It just keeps getting better and better with the new instruments I can't keep up. OH SHIT TUBULAR BELLS!!!!!!!
Part 2 sounded like some Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack where you are wandering through a wood looking for some Chocobo. Much less engaging than part 1 but still quite awesome. Woah I take that back at 12 minutes when they start speaking in tongues and the drum fill comes in.
This album was the exact opposite of Kollaps which I listened to yesterday, it is mainly instrumentals but it actually makes sense and was awesome to listen to. It is like if Pink Floyd and King Giz made a collaboration album.
The mandolin breakdown to finish off the Part 2 was a chefs kiss.
On these albums of the day I normally stop after the original tracks end and don't go into the bonus tracks. But this album was just way too enjoyable to stop so I had to listen to the single and Sailor's hornpipe to see how much more they could do. And I am glad I stuck around.
On a scale of 1 to I would take drugs and listen to this album: Please send me some mushrooms asap and hit replay.

Starts off with two classics that I have known for a long time.

The piano on Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five is mighty catchy. This song was definitely my new highlight of this album. It brought some character to the album that was lacking throughout.
This is an above average album because of the first 2 and last songs. But didn't blow me away by any means.

Such a much more raw metal sounds than other Iron Maiden albums. Haven't listened to this one in a few years and I am upset at myself that it's been so long
Prowler is just straight metal to start out.
Running free and Phantom of the Opera just really get you going with the sustained high tempos and awesome guitar.
After that the instrumentals of Transylvania and Strange world are a bit of a cool down before the finale.
Charlotte the Harlot is fun to sing along to with the matching guitars and vocals.

This sounds like if South Park were to make a parody of a punk band. The singing is just so ridiculous that I can't pay attention to anything else. And the generic ass guitar and drums makes it sound like a highschool band playing in a talent competition.
I was hoping that I would be able to start liking the album more as the songs went on, but I just absolutely hate this singer and he keeps getting worse and worse. Them having ridiculous songs like Garbageman is not helping at all.

Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry, and Purple Rain are all jams. The rest of the album really pulls the rating down though. Something about Prince screaming turns me off and the instrumentals in all of the other songs aren't as impressive to me as people make a deal of.
I'll add I Would Die 4 U on the good song list as well. Also Goose just did a cover of it at Red Rocks a couple weeks ago which they absolute crush.

Bandwagonesque
Teenage Fanclub
The Concept starts it off by with some nice guitar work and solo at the end which got me excited for the album. It then goes and starts sounding very Oasis-ey, not sure if that was just the style in the early 90s but a lot of bands sounded very similar. But it is a very generic music style that is so inoffensive that it is not impressive.
Halfway through the album and its business as usual just sounding like a very run of the mill alternative album. It really makes me wonder why albums like this are on this list of albums we have to listen to while working. There is nothing wrong with it at all and its quite nice to listen to. But it is nothing special at all.
Every single song sounds the exact same to me on this album. I have actually downgraded this from a 3 to a 2 as it went on because of how boring this album is. The longer it went on made me like it less and less.
Is This Music? to end it was alright, it at least brought something new to the album. But still a middling 2 for me.

Beck may be one of the most unique artists I have heard, just so many noises. All I can think of is the Futurama episode where Bender gets cut open by the industrial can opener and becomes paralyzed. But Beck lets him join him on stage so that he can be used as a washboard in his band to play Where It's At.
This certainly teeters on the edge of being overwhelming with noise and actually being music. But I would say that this is actual enjoyable music that he is able to make.

Ten
Pearl Jam
An album that I have listened to many times before and it is just as good as always. Alive, Black, Jeremy, and Even Flow are the first 4 songs on a playlist that I created in 2014 that I still listen to and add songs to.
My favorite thing about this album is that it is named Ten because that is the number that NBA player Mookie Blaylock (which Pearl Jam was originally called) wore. In the interview which they stated this they thought it was funny that people thought Ten had some other significant meaning to them, but it was just for the bball player.
Not a perfect album by any means but it was an great introduction into grunge to me in my early years and an album I will come back to many more times.

I think that this is two singers. And the difference in songs between who is the lead singer is hilarious they sound like 2 completely different bands.

Revelation was just 19 minutes of trippiness. So funny that it is over half the length of the whole album.
I have never heard of this band Love before but they were definitely awesome I really like this style of music. I am going to take a guess and say Kevin is going to love this band if he hasn't heard them before.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen
Pretty slow but peaceful for the first few songs. So long Marianne was a nice little pickup that song was catchy.
Kind of all sounded like one song with the quiet guitar and his singing.
The album ended with him screaming faintly and I was listening to it on a plane and I was concerned that someone on my plane was screaming.

The Man Who
Travis
Pretty good alternative album sounded very typical so nothing really stood out. Had some cool moments of guitar but other than that not too much.
I really hated the last song that had the minutes long of silence in the middle and didn't end with anything spectacular.

Fisherman's Blues
The Waterboys
This band sounds like a combination of Dave Matthews Band and Widespread Panic. I am really digging it 4 songs in.
Holy hell I just looked at their Wikipedia and they have like 75 past members.
Not sure if the album went on too long or if it just got a bit too folky for me, but the first half was much better than the second half.
Started at a sneaky 5 but fell to a 4 because I still really liked it.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo
The Byrds
This may not be true but this album sounds like it could be the invention of American folk/bluegrass. It is very solid all the way through. I believe we had another Byrds album earlier which was much more psychedelic sounding which I definitely like more. But this was a very nice early morning in Seattle while I woke up super early because of jet lag.

Are You Experienced
Jimi Hendrix
Jimi is such a king. Every time I listen to him I know exactly what to expect and that's face melting and great singing. I have loved listening to the couple albums that have come up.
For me though the whole albums are so much better than the individual songs themselves when they come up randomly.
Still this album fux in classic Jimi fashion

Larks' Tongues In Aspic
King Crimson
That first song is exactly what I would expect a Larks Tongue in Aspic to sound like, whatever the hell that is. The instrumentals all of the place kept me on my toes. I had my headphones on quite loud and there were some loud parts that scared the hell out of me.
That album was crazy with some spooky strings and crazy instrumentals i wish I played it on October. Easy money was a very cool song that reminded me of Pink Floyd a little bit.
Highly enjoyable but can't quite make it a 5.

Crocodiles
Echo And The Bunnymen
Not the worst punk album on here but nothing special. No songs stood out to me in particular and they all kind of sounded the same.
2.5 but rounding up to a 3 because it was better than all of the 2 punk albums.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Public Enemy
I know every word for Bring the Noise because of Tony Hawk 2.
Flava flav and the other singer have a great back and forth and their very different voices complement eachother very well.
The scratching background noise on a lot of the songs got old pretty quickly. This is my main gripe with early 90s rap is that all of the crazy over used sounds really throw me off.
Ah that annoying noise comes back in Rebel without a Pause
The whole album gets pretty repetitive and is a little long for my liking. Still a good album. Solid 3

Sail Away
Randy Newman
His voice is just so funny to me that it is tough not to laugh during the songs. But musically wise I do like the style.
This was also short and sweet at a cool 30 minutes.

Lust For Life
Iggy Pop
Unfairly went into this album thinking I wasn't going to like it because I thought it was going to be punky like him with the Stooges. But it's turned out to be a nice groovy album that I really liked .
Great album to run to while listening. Adding Tonight to my playlist that song was mad funky

Celebrity Skin
Hole
Rock band to start things off??
Pretty standard alternative rock album that 17 year old me would have probably liked way more. A lot of the songs sounded the exact same and I lost interest in the last quarter of the album. Malibu was probably my favorite song on here.
2.5 but I will round up because the first half of the album was pretty good

The Predator
Ice Cube
I understand the lyrics and why music like this was written in the 90s. But just purely musicly i don't really like this style of rap. Ice Cube only has one type of singing voice and the beats didn't really do it for me.

Music for the Masses
Depeche Mode
I can only picture Bo Burnham again when I hear the singer and it is really throwing me off.
The first two songs we cool but strange but, Strangelove got the funk going and got me engaged for sure.
Unfortunately that was really the peak of the album and it got pretty uneventful for me after that. I really wanted to like this album because it was a type of weird music which I like but this just didn't do it for me.
Pimpf at the end sounded like the soundtrack for End of The World in Kingdom Hearts 1

Catch A Fire
Bob Marley & The Wailers
Concrete Jungle kind of rules with the prominent bassline and shredding guitar solo to go along with Bob singing.
Wailers albums always put me in such a good mood with the slow instrumentals and calm singning. Stir It Up may be the most chill song of all time.
In Kinky Reggae I really need to know what a booga-wooga is and why it had brown suga on it.
Classic Wailers album that I could listen to all day if I didn't have 4 other albums to catch up with.

School's Out
Alice Cooper
I have known the title track for many years now and it is such a fun song to sing along with.
The album took a much different turn after that song and it seemed to change styles completely. It took me a few songs to get into it but I was pretty hooked in once it got really jazzy in Blue Turk.
Grande Finale was a cool way to end it with more instrumental big band style.
I was not fully paying attention to this album but from what I heard I really liked so I am certainly going to have to give this another play through.

Very pleasant instrumentals. I went from really liking some of the songs like Beautiful Child, to the others being a bit too slow for me.

Let It Be
The Replacements
That album had a little bit of everything. Started with some funk, followed by a couple of slightly metal songs, then a slow ballad Androgynous. The instrumental Seen your Video and then the blues song were probably my favorite part.
This album was a very pleasant surprise I was afraid going in that it would just be another cookie cutter punk album from this list. But there were times that I was thinking it would be a 5. Answering Machine let me down as the last song which is going to bring this album down to a 4.

The Score
Fugees
Pretty repetitive good beats. I didn't know Wyclef Jean was in Fugees. I like Lauryn Hill coming in to sing to complement the 2 males.
The Chinese Restaurant part was.... interesting. Got a good chuckle out of me though.
Pretty repetitive album outside of Killing me Softly. Nothing too special at all

1989
Taylor Swift
Annemarie said she would divorce me if I didn't give this a 5 and I want to show her my review so this is going to be very in depth.
Welcome to New York starts off the album with a pretty standard pop song with the clapping and repeating chorus that is most of the song.
Blank Space didn't take long before singing completely about one of her many ex-boyfriends. Another song of mostly repeating catchy chorus where when shows her vocal range.
Style comes in hot with some nice synthy rhythm going in which I really like. She then uses really choppy diction intentionally to create an ultra hooky chorus. This has been my favorite song so far.
I like the use of the heavy drums in Out of the Woods it sounds a bit like Odesza how it is mixed in with the synth. I wonder if she ever made it out of the woods? Did she make it into the clear?
All You Had to Do Was Stay is a pretty generic song that was kind of just filler. Not much to say about it.
Cool little horn section in Shake it Off. This is really upbeat can really get my booty moving to this song. Sound like this would be a perfect marching band song with the horns and snares and cymbals. Ah kind of lost me with that talking section but I guess it was a nice build up for one final chorus.
I Wish you Would is another pretty standard song but the little guitar riff on the background is pretty cool.
Bad Blood is all anger with a bunch of heavy bass drum.
Wildest dreams brings the energy back down again which was needed. It is probably her best singing song so far.
The last 3 songs are all nothing special just some more super catchy pop songs. Clean ends things on a lower tempo which I was not expecting I thought this album was going to go out on one of her singles.
I can see why this album had 7 singles. Taylor really knows how to bring the energy and use really catchy beats and singing style. Much more electronic than I was expecting. Overall I really liked this album more than I thought I was going to. I knew 3 of the songs pretty well going in, but a few more surprised me.
Favorite songs: Style, Out of the Woods, Shake it Off

1999
Prince
Everytime I listen to Prince it just sounds like he's trying to do things to my earhole non-consensually. This album was the worst case of it. This should never have been a 70 minute album.
1999 the song was pretty good. DMSR needs to be erased off of this planet.
I hated this album. I know a 31 year old white male born in 1992 probably wasn't Princes target audience for this album but I don't care.

Talking Heads 77
Talking Heads
I've listened to a lot more talking heads since our last album sometime in the spring and I have liked them a lot more. This album was pretty good but definitely not my favorite.
The book I Read and Psycho Killer are the top jams for sure.

If You're Feeling Sinister
Belle & Sebastian
A very bubbly album that was nice to have on while working while it was raining outside. Kind of faded away towards the end but still enjoyed listening to the while album.
Sounded like they used a lot of different instruments throughout the album which was cool.

Heavy Weather
Weather Report
Album Art 10/10 that is one of the most unique covers I have ever seen I want that to be the art on the deck of my next snowboard.
The sounds like the Local on the 7s from the Weather Channel back in the 90s but on steroids.
Jazz fusion may be my new favorite genre of music. Any album that is so enjoyable with only instrumentals will always be a 5 star for me.

...And Justice For All
Metallica
Been listening to this album since I was just a wee lad in 3rd or 4th grade so very biased coming into it.
Probably the grungiest of the Metallica albums and it was a great way to end their 80s albums. They definitely switched tone after this with Black album (which is still awesome) and beyond.
So many times in the album where the guitar and bass just make me put my stank face on.
Top 10 album of all time for me so no doubter of a 5

Stankonia
OutKast
The singles are so good and so is Humble Mumble, that may have actually been my favorite song.
The rest is pretty good with some nice beats and guitar sprinkled in every so often. Weird interludes sometimes though which I have learned is a huge part of early 2000s/90s hip hop albums.
Solid enough album which I wouldn't mind listening to again.

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby
Terence Trent D'Arby
Holy soul!
If You Let Me Stay sounds so familiar especially the backing baseline but I can not figure out if I know it from a cover.
That album was powerful. Such impressive singing by him and the backing choir on a few of the songs made it even more epic. The horn usage I'm a bunch of songs really added some great elements as well.
A few of the songs were a bit slow for me by themself but they added greatly to build up some of the more intense songs. This worked perfectly with the last two songs.
I was between a 4 and a 5 here but I'm going to give it the step up because I think it was a pretty special album

Van Halen
Van Halen was the first band who's entire catalog I downloaded on Limewire, and likely gave my computer a thousand viruses.
If someone were to ask me what 70s rock was I would show them this album. The distorted guitars and and screaming vocals were so unique to their time.
Far from perfect but still a great album.

Talking Timbuktu
Ali Farka Touré
Very calming album of strings, drums, and light vocals. There were some cool bluesy aspects throughout.
This was a nice album to listen to in the background while working. Probably wouldn't listen to it any different way though.
