The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill · 10 likes

2/5

I had my expectations set way too high for this one. It has some really lovely moments but you have to sit through some really boring moments to get to them. I will try revisiting when I'm stoned later and see if that changes anything.

Funeral

3/5

It sounds like if Cage The Elephant forgot how to write catchy hooks, I enjoyed a few moments alright though. Probably won’t listen again any time soon.

Somehow met the dude who played keyboard on this album at a bar the same day I got it on the generator. Weirdly cosmic.

I liked it - easy to get through with some quality bangers, a little generic in spots though

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt but I did not enjoy this album. I could see some of these songs being cool in a live setting like a festival or something but even then idk.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

Felt kinda boring at first but then I got high and it all made sense. Not sure if the second half is really that much better than the first or if the weed just made me understand it better. Either way it deserves a second listen.

The Rolling Stones

2/5

I like The Rolling Stones but I did not like this album. Generic blues does almost nothing for me.

Maxinquaye

Tricky

1/5

This album sucked

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

Obviously they know how to write good songs, still really annoying to my ears though

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

3/5

I enjoyed it more than I expected to at first but got real bored real fast, it’s basically just the same song over and over and over and over again. Still far from the worst thing on this list though.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

2/5

I didn’t really like it but it got better as it went I guess

Eileen is an all time banger. Some of the other songs were fun but a lot less memorable.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

3/5

Funny and vibey

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

I wasn't in the mood for this at first so I turned it off after three songs and saved it for later, turned out to be a banger when I listened to it again later that night

Neil Young

4/5

Another one I'm surprised I haven't heard before. I've never delved into Neil Young outside of Buffalo Springfield and CSNY so this was a great introduction to his catalogue.

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

The highs were high and the lows were low. Overall enjoyable experience though.

3/5

Really beautiful music. I wonder if this album gave her the creeps.

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

They definitely front-loaded the album with the better material. I was really vibing for like 30 minutes then it became incredibly annoying and hard to listen to. Still the best dance album I've gotten on here so far.

Kimono My House

Sparks

5/5

Easy 5 stars

Boston

3/5

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

4/5

Pyromania

Def Leppard

2/5

Not as bad as the first Def Leppard I got on this list but definitely not that good, I kind of actually enjoyed hating it in a weird way. Really overstays it's welcome after about half an hour though.

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

I feel bad demoting it a star for not liking the vocals because I feel like this is how I sound when I sing too. Still pretty solid.

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

2/5

I'm tempted to rank this higher because it's so weird and I think some of the tracks have a lot of artistic merit but it just does not sound that good most of the time. Will be revisiting soon to befuddle and disorient friends when I'm on the aux.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

3/5

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

2/5

I can’t tell how I feel about it. I liked Pick Up Your Feelings, everything else was kind of a blur.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

2/5

Vibey and boring simultaneously, almost an impressive combo. I don’t think I will listen again.

Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

4/5

These guys get it. I’m not sure if I do, but they certainly do.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

I’m sorry Bobby D I can’t seem to vibe with it like everyone else. Not even mushrooms could make this album sound cool.

E.V.O.L.

Sonic Youth

3/5

A very enjoyable 3

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

2/5

I get really excited about the ones I’ve never heard of, especially if they have cool titles and album covers. That being said this album was so boring. It’s decent enough background music but even then I found myself craving something more exciting.
