Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

Hard to believe it was written in 1969. Dark and textured, love when you can hear more guitars than just the acoustic (which is also lovely, btw)

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

Awesome how garage-y it is. Sounds like it was recorded at home, not in a studio

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

4/5

Loved It! More funk than rap… sounded more like p-funk than outkast.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

Pretty cool. I liked how all of the songs fade out. I bet these guys can jam

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

Love it! The bass is awesome, really drives the music while the guitar layers weirdness on top. Goes downie sounds a lot like the singer.

Common

3/5

Not bad, but I’m not big into rap so…

Urban Hymns

The Verve

2/5

Meh, it’s fine but I get why they’re a one hit wonder. Oasis is better

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

Very cool, not sure why this guy isn’t more famous. Lots going on, love the “full band” sound with the backup singers and the big ensemble

Pornography

The Cure

3/5

It was cool, I can see why some people enjoy it but not really for me. Lotta noise, and songs sounds pretentious. Similar to the smiths, but I liked that one better.

Maxinquaye

Tricky

2/5

Don’t think I finished it. Not bad but not my cup of tea

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

Solid, not their best but still good

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

Where has this band been? Excellent album, I can hear the punk behind all of the synthy 80s layers

Low-Life

New Order

4/5

Didn’t listen to much, but I like what I heard. Similar to the smiths

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Cool, not really my thing but she’s still talented. Liked the parts where she improvised

Sound Affects

The Jam

3/5

It’s ok, sounds like it could be “punk” but not full-on punk. Probably won’t listen again, but I didn’t hate it

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

Can’t really remember… not as much piano as I thought there would be

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

It’s nice, easy to listen to, catchy Sounds generic, like there are lots of things that sound like it. Generic but in a good way

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

5/5

Loved it. This is what electronic music should sound like.

All Directions

The Temptations

4/5

Awesome! Funky, but with focus on the vocals. Loved it
