Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

4/5

If you ever wanted to be midway through a song and as "is that a pressure washer?" This album is for you. I was biased initially since it is so odd but it's really odd in a very good way

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

It's fine if you like every song to have the exact same sound. Lyrics are generally good and enjoyable. Will probably listen again.... But not for a while and not until I need a fix of their brand of that sound

The Predator

Ice Cube

2/5

Garbage

3/5

Good variety in sounds with an overall consistency. Would say it's "pop rock" not deep lyrically imo but not offensive.

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Lots of solid tracks for a variety of moods and feelings. Some earworms, some forgettable songs. Overall enjoyed, but wish it felt more cohesive rather than just a collection of songs.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

Really enjoyed this album, it has a good mix of toe-tappers and feels. Lyrics are worth listening to and tell stories, are humorous at times and enjoyable always. Album was cohesive and flowed from song to song.

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

One of my favorite albums, grew up listening to it

Grace

Jeff Buckley

2/5

Man has a great voice and objectively the good at the whole music thing but I'm not into the whole "every song is about lost love" type of album

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

2/5

Someone could swap the vocals between any of the tracks and nobody would notice.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

4/5

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

1/5

The "unknown pleasure" was not listening to this album. What the vocalist lacks in skill he does not make up for in passion. I'd say he needs a bucket to carry the tune but buckets aren't good at carrying keys. Instrumentals are fine but I can hear the same, similar, or (usually) better sound from any garage band or subway station one man band busker

Liquid Swords

GZA

Honestly I'm not sure what I just listened to. It was so weird. It wasn't bad! In fact it was kinda good? But so so strange I'm still not sure what it was. Give it a listen

It sounds like there is a really cool futuristic SciFi distopian film happening outside the cafe this music is playing loudly in. Points for that. Otherwise is pretty basic dude who is almost on pitch singing. 3 stars. Would be 2 except for the above

2nd track was quite good, the others were fine. By the time I get to Phoenix dragged on and on and on so I got bored and skipped it.

It sounds like it was recorded with two microphones on the opposite end of a large, abandoned warehouse from the band.

Finley Quaye

3/5

Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

I'm sure it's a good album but i'm really just not vibing with it today. I've skipped the 2nd half of every song so far. 2 stars, giving it the benefit of the doubt that it's actually good and I just don't see it
