Appetite For Destruction
Guns N' Roses
This album is pretty darn good. Had some nice recognizable hits on it. Was fun to listen to. Here are my individual song reviews...
Welcome to the Jungle (8/10): Such a banger. The Axl Rose moans are classic.
It's So Easy (6/10): Sounds like a Guns N Roses song, but didn't have anything special to set it apart. Pretty solid but only slightly above average.
Nightrain (7.5/10): I liked the feel of this song. It was pretty upbeat and felt like more of a feel-good song.
Out Ta Get Me (5.5/10): Decent feel, didn't really stick with me in any way.
Mr. Brownstone (5.5/10): I believe this song is about some sort of drugs, so I can't really say I relate. Had a nice sound to it though.
Paradise City (9/10): TAKE ME HOMEE absolutely love this song.
My Michelle (6.5/10): I got into this one a little bit, I didn't really expect to. Pretty decent.
Think About You (7.5/10): I never heard this one before, I really thought it was kinda good actually.
Sweet Child O' Mine (8.5/10): OK yeah this one is a little overplayed but still a beautiful song. The riff on this one is a classic.
You're Crazy (8/10): This one had me up and dancing! Did not expect this so be such a banger.
Anything Goes (7/10): I liked it! Not out of this world or anything but it was a good song.
Rocket Queen (7/10): Great song!

The Seldom Seen Kid
Elbow
Never heard of this band before.
The lead singer sounds a lot like the lead singer from Coldplay, and the sounds had a lot of similarities to the early Coldplay as well. However, this album did not quite reach the level of some of those classic early Coldplay albums like Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head.
I liked the album but it isn't something I think I need to hear more than once. I love the album cover though that is very cool. 3/5 stars to this album!

Blackstar
David Bowie
Whatever this style is, I didn’t like it. The sound, the instrumentation, the rhythm, it did not fit my taste
However, I respect the fact that this was David Bowie's last album and it faces a lot of deep topics like death. So I will bump it up to 2 stars because of this. I think the whole thing just went over my head a bit, not really sure.

Highway to Hell
AC/DC
Before listening to this album today, I had only heard Thunderstruck, Back in Black, and Highway to Hell.
This album was literally 40 minutes of Highway to Hell, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, they could've been a little more creative, but what works works. What can I say. 4/5 stars easily.

Man I really wanted to rate this guy higher, but he just wasn’t at the level of my other 4s. I was surprised to get such a recent album on here. His voice was impeccable and it isn’t the style I usually listen to so it was interesting. While there are no half stars I would like to give this album a 3.5/5 for the record

Adele
Wow I am going to hate myself for doing this. I usually am NOT a pop fan. I find it generic and shallow. But I am rating this one 5/5 stars.
Is it because I haven't gotten a 5 star album yet and I really wanted one? Possibly.
Is it because I am familiar with Adele and already know her sound? Possibly.
Is it because this album was impeccable, with so much feeling and insane vocals? Possibly.
Adele, I don't know what you did, but that was an amazing album.

Screw this, I'm giving it a 4. Does it sound like children messing around with random sounds and bashing on drums? Yes, yes, it does.
