In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra · 1 likes

4/5

A lot of people have complained about their relationships, and a lot of people will continue to, but Sinatra has an earnestness that’s genuinely hard to describe.

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

3/5

An odd mix of techno and boom bap.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

4/5

Gris Gris

Dr. John

2/5

Some weird psychedelic sample based stuff that was unique but not all that coherent.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Psychedelic guitar rock at its finest. Jimi is a legend and the production on this thing is stellar.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

Some of the most ornate production on a pop record of all time. The album cover is terrible but the music itself is so joyous it hardly matters.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

Inexplicably opens with a gorgeous orchestral track and (for the most part) continues that creativity and spontaneity throughout the record.

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

2/5

Definitely needs a relisten — great lyrics, good energy, but dissonant, stripped-back, post-punk does not add up to a very enjoyable listen.

Slayed?

Slade

3/5

Alright British arena stuff.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Pleasantly orchestrated, pleasantly sung, pleasantly written, simply done, and just well made.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

Bossa Nova is king. Stan Getz’s work here is just as fantastic and smooth as his name.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

I’ve come around to goth rock and the production on this is pretty interesting but this album was quite boring overall.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

4/5

Ice Cube’s delivery and flow are iconic, and his vivid and violent lyrics suit the vibe he’s going for even if they get a bit repetitive.

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

4/5

Opens with a classic and continues with well-made chamber and synth driven pop.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

Emotional and moving alternative R’n’B. Frank Ocean’s control of orchestration and lyricism is unparalleled.

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

3/5

I’ve never heard anything that sounds like this album, odd mix of beat poetry with non-traditional instruments and insane vocal delivery.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

5/5

Pink Flag

Wire

3/5

Art-punk is a weird genre. It's not experimental enough to be called post-punk or anything, and doesn't switch up the punk formula all that much. But there's something off about it, like a longer song here and there, or some odd instrumentation. But it's still very go-ahead punk. Just a weird middle-line.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

Ray Of Light

Madonna

3/5

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

2/5

Country isn’t bad but the album felt samey and just wasn’t up my alley.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Certainly not his best but Stevie Wonder is such a joyous artist and everything he makes just exudes happiness.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

2/5

The Stones’ production and blues rock style have never really appealed to me.

Picture Book

Simply Red

4/5

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Rap in its purest, most distilled form. Impeccable bars, and a stripped back production that is so clean you could eat off of it.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

4/5

A lot of people have complained about their relationships, and a lot of people will continue to, but Sinatra has an earnestness that’s genuinely hard to describe.

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

I can appreciate how influential this group is and the talent of their rapping abilities but the production on this thing has aged like milk.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

2/5

Generic rock, unfortunately, despite the lovely Texan accent.

A Northern Soul

The Verve

3/5

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

3/5

Repetition rules but an hour of it can get a bit tiring.

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

3/5

Just a basic rock album here

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

The compositions here are very sweet but the songs are quite trite.

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

4/5

I’m very generous to psychedelic stuff and this definitely is.

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

There’s no one quite like Nirvana. Brutal yet poppy, experimental yet still rock, abstract and relatable, and teeming with creativity and energy while still being listenable to a larger audience.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

A lot better than their debut: more collaboration, better flows, slicker beats, more fun lyrics, and a wholesome energy.

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

2/5

Deserves credit for the concept alone, but this is straight up a bad album.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

A little bit of Cohen, Buckley, Dylan, and clever instrumentation definitely make up a winning formula.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

Eternally progressive.

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

Purple Rain

Prince

Kenza

Khaled

Various Artists

3/5

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

My favorite album ever. No skips, no nonsense, just pitch perfect track after track without an ounce of fat.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

5/5

A supreme collection of hard rock classics

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

3/5

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Liquid Swords

GZA

4/5

Old-school hip hop isn’t really my thing but this has a ton of personality and some very solid beats.

Me Against The World

2Pac

4/5

A bit bloated, but Pac’s flow and lyricism haven’t aged a day.

Debut

Björk

3/5

Bjork has made much better but this still has some really good tracks.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

5/5

Old-school rap is growing on me and combined with Biggie’s iconic bars and a collection of rock-solid boom bap beats this album is definitely a killer. A talent lost too soon.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Bowie is forever. The peak of what rock music can accomplish.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

As good as rap and RnB can get. Lauryn Hill really hit the jackpot and just dipped.

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

3/5

There are a lot of alt rock albums on this list and this one barely makes the par.
