Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

A staple of the nu metal genre, I have heard of it, but never listened to it besides the radio hits, was an interesting listen, that although it feels like 2000’s music, that doesn’t make it a knock on it, if anything it’s stood the test of time.

Live!

Fela Kuti

Phenomenal Drumming by Ginger Baker, and I can’t imagine how this helped expand his drumming for future projects, it’s a good introduction to African rooted music, and the last track on the album was by far the best. (16 min Drum Duet)

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

I can understand the appeal, and some songs were good, but never been a fan of ZZ Top, so this was a personal preference rather than objective.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

A legendary album in the history of metal, and a benchmark for a new era. Arguably Maiden's best album and it has one of my top 5 songs on it being its closer "Hallowed Be Thy Name." I am heavily biased for this opinion, but it maintains as a 5/5 album that anyone who listens to metal should listen to.

I love this album, very biased, the only knock I have on it are the shorter songs (interludes?) are a bit tough to listen to, but still a favorite that gets played frequently.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

I haven't listened to much Simon & Garfunkel besides the radio hits. This was a pleasant album and listening experience and I was impressed with how good the imagery was on the album, and how smooth the songs were when telling stories, instead of rhyming.

As many others have said in the reviews, due to the cultural and language barrier, I feel my ability to appreciate this is lessened, I get the idea, and appeal, but can’t fully get with it.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

Very biased, but love Steely Dan, and while I don’t think this album scratches their top 3, it could be a top 3 album for any other band that would’ve made it (wouldn’t be the same though)

I'd like to think if I had heard this album in the time period it was in, maybe I could see it's influence and gravity a bit more, but it's just so sluggish at times, and at others it's beautiful.

As I've done this project, I've changed the bar for a 5, only giving them if I truly love the album/would relisten. But as someone who hasn't been able to grasp onto punk or the genres spanning from it, this was an incredibly good album, and is deserving of it, even if I maybe wouldn't hold it as high as other 5s

Illmatic

Nas

(Incredibly biased opinion) There's often a question posed in regards to music, across all genres, that is "If you got rid of the entire genre, but had one album, what could rebuild it?" Just like in the wikipedia, I firmly believe this is one of, if not THE album that could do it. Truly one of the greatest rap albums of all time, and my personal all time favorite hip-hop album, and sometimes outright favorite. Nas managed to put out his magnum opus on his debut at a young age, and although he's never really quite hit that high again, he's still putting out albums well into his 50's. This would be one of the first albums I'd recommend anyone wanting to survey into the hip-hop genre. NY State of Mind is also IMO the best hip-hop song ever made.

This is the second Pogues album I have gotten, and both time's it's been a unique case of good idea, good execution, but just not for me. There are 1 star albums I have rated that I got through easier than this. I still respect the musicianship though, and on the right day, it would probably be a fun listen.

I enjoy a lot of Steely Dan, so I was sure I'd enjoy this one, but was surprised to find I didn't as much I wanted to. It's hard to give a 3 vs a 4, because my knock on it is "The Steely Dan sounds like Steely Dan" which is obvious in a solo career, but was hoping for more. It is very reminiscent of Gaucho (release 2 years earlier) and besides I.G.Y and New Frontier sounding semi different I wouldn't be able to tell this was a solo project.

This is my personal all-time favorite album, and normally I would think that's a bias, but I truly think this deserves a 5, regardless of where I hold it. Normally I don't look at reviews, so I can form my own opinion without being swayed. I had an outline of what I was going to write regarding the milestones this album contributed to, and everything in between, but one of the top reviews said almost everything i had to say and more. I would reccomend reading that, because I wholeheartedly agree. (The review starting with 2/14/2022)

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

This album I think is by far the hardest I’ve had to rate so far a little over 500 albums in. I don’t usually look at reviews until I’ve made mine, but this one helped me put thoughts I had into words. Despite only being 4 years ago, this feels like a timepiece in the fact that it would’ve been much more powerful during the time it was made for. That being said, I really flip-flopped throughout this album, because for as much good instrumentation and creativity, there is just as much repetitiveness and not-so-blunt delivery. There have been albums on this list, whether it be Beyoncé, Fela Kuti, Grandmaster Flash or even my last album the day before this MIA, and also artists that I haven’t gotten/aren’t on the list, range in decent to great delivery of their messages, and mantain their musical proficiency. I agree with the sentiment that Wildfire is the best song out of this album, and would be most listenable, removed from the context of the album. I don’t have a problem with the overall idea of the album, even though at times it feels lazy in the way it’s put to the listener, I just feel there are a lot better ways to convey Black Excellence/empowerment , especially with how rich the history of music is, and how much of it is owed to African/African-American artists. A great example in modern times is GREY AREA- Little Simz, another album on this list released 1 year earlier, (and one of my biggest regrets of giving a lower rating than it deserves.)

There aren't many albums on this list that I have personal negative bias towards, but this is one. I've had 1 star albums that were easier to get through than this. I enjoy the instrumental sound they have, but man this is one of the top examples of vocals absolutely killing a band for me.
