Pink Moon
Nick Drake
The definition of music is poetry. Definitely not my kind of music but a big fan. There were some songs I didn't really enjoy though, so that's why it got bumped down to 4.

The Suburbs
Arcade Fire
While the nostalgic vibes were there, I could not get into it. All of the songs sounded the same, and the lyrics which were supposed to be "hauntingly beautiful" were rather mediocre. The songs went on for too long and seemed meaningless. There are maybe 1-2 I enjoyed, and the rest fell dramatically flat. The fact that this won AOTY is shocking, as all four other albums were more deserving.
Genuine Ranking: 3.5/10

This album designates the Ramone's signature sound, fundamental punk rock, nothing fancy. While I enjoyed the listen, all of the songs started meshing. I enjoyed it, but I wish there were more originality instead of doing one sound well 14 times.

The Temptations
I was a big fan of The Temptations before listening, and I'm an even bigger fan afterward. This is more slower and relaxing compared to the other things I have heard from them, but I loved it. Lyrics were flawless, and Otis Williams is a vocal legend. Papa Was A Rolling Stone is a certified classic, and Love Woke Me Up This Morning has been in my rotation for the entire day. Amazing all around.

The Who
All the reviews that said this album is one of the best lied to you. Same with the people who said it was absolute garbage. This album is good, not amazing, not terrible, good. I hate that I'm giving this four stars because it deserves 3.5, a 7/10. It's better than a 3, but worse than a 4. All the songs were good, and I like they were willing to try different, even if the end result wasn't great in my opinion. This is an album that everyone must listen to, but it will not be an album everyone will enjoy.

This album is fucking bonkers. There's a lot going on, and Gabriel tries many different things. You can tell he's trying to find his signature sound. Some of it was fantastic (Moribund the Burgermeister), and others weren't (Humdrum). I appreciate the risk and the inventive nature of this album, but the majority of the songs fall flat after Solsbury Hill.

Five Leaves Left
Nick Drake
If music can make you feel such strong emotions, then it has done its job of moving you. Drake's debut should be considered one of the best debut albums of all time. He was a lyrical maestro whose untimely passing at 26 left the musicians' world with a gaping hole in its heart. The mystical feel of the songs transports you to a place where you never wish to leave. I wish I could listen to this album for the first time again, as it is an experience I will never forget.

People who don't like this album are the people who think rollercoasters are only for kids. They're just snobby and sticks in the mud. It's not a perfect album, but it's fun, and when you're from New Jersey, it's practically illegal to dislike Bon Jovi. That might make me a bit biased, but this album is full of stadium anthems and is the definition of a good time. Livin' On A Prayer and You Give Love A Bad Name are absolute classics, and the non-singles are great.

The one thing that I hate seeing through the reviews is when someone shows obvious bias (shown with some people's great disdain for pop, hip hop/rap, 80s, etc.) They'll say "I despise hip-hop", "all 80s music sounds the same" and never give the material a fair chance when majority of the time the music is strong. This website gives you an album a day to listen to and helps expose us to music that we otherwise would've never listened to, so we need to put out biases aside. Everyone's entitled to have their opinion, but every album's entitled to have a fair chance and just be judged it on source value only.
That being said, this is an extremely solid pop album. The latin, jazz, and R&B influences on this album are strong, and Aguilera's vocals are stellar throughout. Each song is poignant, and while they're all not perfect, they send an important message. Some of these songs will be getting a relisten, and helps show that pop music could and should be enjoyed by those of all ages. (On the sour side, this album is a little too long.)

Better Living Through Chemistry
Fatboy Slim
When I thought I was warming to electronica, Fatboy Slim made me return to my senses. Repetitive beyond belief, utter rubbish.

At Newport 1960
Muddy Waters
Waters is a LEGEND of the blues scene, and this album proves why.

Not as good as Newport 1960, but still a solid listen.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs
Marty Robbins
The storytelling and lyricism in this is absolutely great. I never thought I'd enjoy this album as much as I did; such a relaxing listen.

It's fine, kinda weird, but I like some of it, a couple of glimmers of hope.

American Idiot
Green Day
I usually don't like punk rock, but I genuinely am a slut for a concept album, so I guess this is the exception. I think the only thing about this album I don't like is the song length (not the songs with a "/," but Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming); they both could've been cut down to five minutes and have been better songs in my opinion.

The Lexicon Of Love
ABC
The instrumentals on this album are phonomenal, but I really couldn't get behind the vocals and lyricism. It worked on some of the songs, but not on the majority of them.

Vivid
Living Colour
Very strong beginning, but it fizzles out towards the middle, and then somewhat resurrects itself towards the end. Overall a great listen.

I think what makes this album for me is the guitar, it's fucking phenomenal. While the lyrics aren't always perfect in my opinion, the guitar and the other instruments always make up for it.

Heavy Weather
Weather Report
This is what your jazz band would play in high school. You'd be interested and like the performance, but you'd genuinely forget about it when you walk out of the auditorium.

The new wave influences in this were strong, and they made the album.

Something/Anything?
Todd Rundgren
With long albums, there tends to be a lack of cohesion, and I feel that to be the case with this album. While the majority of the songs I enjoyed, the lack of cohesion made this album slightly less enjoyable. This album could've been cut down to 18-20 songs and been a solid 8-9/10.

Extremely solid album, with River being the glaring star for me. Great storytelling by Mitchell.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Wu-Tang Clan
I understand the amount of albums and musicians that were inspired by the Wu-Tang Clan, and this album was good, but that's it. Everything about it was good, and they have a unique style that's rather charming.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Excellent instrumentals, excellent lyricism, and storytelling, but the vocals are fine, nothing to write home about. Some of the songs weren't my favorite either.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

Fine. Freedom! '90 is the obvious star, and everything else sort of falls flat

I would be deaf not to notice this album's impact. However, it was not my cup of tea, not in the slightest.
The lead guy was shouting the entire time, and I understand how poignant this is, so it makes me appreciate it ever so slightly. The rage was definitely there, but my enjoyment was not.
Was he trying to be different and quirky? Possibly, but this was not it. It's a big no from me, dawg.

In a word: Enlightening
This is one of the best albums this generator has given me. For how original each and every song is, this album is shockingly cohesive, which is a big accomplishment compared to some of the other albums I've reviewed.
It was such an out-of-body experience that I wish I could have again for the first time. Utter perfection.

The fact that this WAS NOT used in American Horror Story: Freak Show was insane. It's a magical, mystical ride that I wasn't expecting... but kind of enjoyed.

I understand why someone enjoys this, but it's definitely not me. This is played daily at Marshall's though.
