Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The Smashing Pumpkins
I can't be objective about this. This is one of those albums from my early teens that burrowed its way inside me and became part of my DNA. I could no sooner give it a fair rating than I could rate myself, or my adolescence, or what it means to grow up.
Not every song on this album is a 5/5 -- honestly, not every song on this album is even good. Some of them seem to delight in their own ugliness. But the *variety* of music here; the ridiculous, laughable, incredible scope of it; the giddy soaring highs and the miserable vacant lows - none of the songs sounds remotely the same. I can't not give it a 5!
This is less a collection of songs and more of an album of important moments to me. And there are so many of them. The defiant battle cry of "We'll crucify the insincere tonight" from Tonight, Tonight that wouldn't be out of place in an MCR song; the escalating bridge in Here is No Why that begs you to scream along; "Destroy the mind / destroy the body / but you cannot destroy the heart," which should be melodramatic dreck but feels as essential as marching orders; "Rescue me from me," perhaps the most self-aware Billy Corgan has ever been in his life; the snarling, vicious "Love is suicide" refrain in Bodies and the jacknife whiplash of Thirty-Three's sugar-spun "I know I'll make it / Love can last forever," right after it; the, again, very self aware "Suffer my desire" from In the Arms of Sleep; 1979, kicking off the slow march to the end of the album with the kind of sun-soaked, melancholy (ha!) nostalgia for things you may not even have experienced yourself; the almost silly Beautiful and Lily (My One and Only) and what I can only call a group lullaby on the last track. God, it's crazy. I love it so much.
Unfortunately, it was also written by Billy Corgan, who by all accounts seems to be one of the most personally unpleasant people on the planet and has the political opinions to match. Maybe that's part of this album's appeal to me - I keep trying to crack the nut of how such a miserable, hateful prick could've made something so perfect. Maybe he poured out his heart and soul into this album and just... left them there. How do shitty people make good art? I don't know. It still doesn't make it less sincere to me. Whoever he is now or before, I believe every word he's saying here. It's part of the infinite fascination with the Infinite Sadness, I guess.
Anyway. It's a mess, it's pretentious, it's painfully earnest, it's so fucking good. I totally understand the 1 star reviews. I think you either get it or you don't but I really, really do.

Based on the description, I thought I was going to show this. But it was surprisingly fun and silly! It's nice to be wrong sometimes.

Warehouse: Songs And Stories
Hüsker Dü
what is this dusty, flavorless, flat soda of an album? why did i have to listen to it before I died? It made me feel like I was dying. so confused. there's nothing here. it was like a pile of dry hay blowing away in the wind.

Doolittle
Pixies
this was a pleasant surprise, and I'm equally happy to see so many positive reviews! this album has a few duds for me, so not a perfect 5, but lots of fun and crazy variety. so many iconic songs on here! the pixies don't always 100% work for me, but this album mostly does.

Live At The Regal
B.B. King
I'm never thrilled to see a live album, but I as pleasantly surprised by this one. Great energy and live performance. The audience's enthusiasm was fun too. I don't really see myself revisiting it, but I enjoyed it more than I thought it would.

Bossanova

I had Doolittle two days ago, what are the chances? This one wasn't quite as #iconic but still some good tracks on here, and I probably wouldn't have sought it out without 1001 albums!

American Idiot
Green Day
as subtle as a (ha!) hand grenade, but that's what we needed at the time, okay?
is every song on this a perfect 5/5? no, and the non-singles definitely don't have the same punch, but it's not about that. it's about the spectacle, the ridiculousness, the scope - i mean, this album is iconic for a reason. if i see any of you dadrock motherfuckers badmouthing this one, fight me in the parking lot. WHILE american idiot plays.

Slippery When Wet
Bon Jovi
i didn't expect to enjoy this one as much as I did. big cheesy energy that occasionally didn't totally hit. but overall punchy ridiculous 80s fun.

The White Album
Beatles
is it... crazy to say there's like, quite a bit of filler on here?? feels insane to say about the Beatles but there were definitely a few kills in the hits for me. full of a bajillion other iconic tracks though, so this is super hard to rate. don't be mad at me!

Back To Black
Amy Winehouse
God, what a talent. What a voice. I'd always meant to listen to this album and never got around to it. It all just works so well together. It's hard to listen knowing how her life turned out but I'm grateful we have a time capsule like this.

I mean, it was enjoyable enough, but it *did* feel like the same song 10 times if I'm being totally honest >.>

Step In The Arena
Gang Starr
this was pleasant to listen to but I don't know if it totally clicked for me - I probably should've been listening more carefully and reading the lyrics but I usually listen to these while driving or at work, so. maybe I'll revisit some of the top tracks later.

I actually quite enjoyed this. Not too much to say other than it was a pleasant surprise and very listenable and avoids some of the samey vibes of so many similar albums from this era.

Always great to get something different on 1001 albums. I liked this, though it got a bit repetitive at times. Still enjoyable!
