Vulnicura

Björk

2/5

While I can appreciate Björk as an artist, I can't say this album did much for me. A few of the songs were interesting, but it felt like it belonged more as background music for a film or something - not great listening on its own. I ended up skipping the last two songs because they were just a little grating.

Nice, relaxing and feel-good.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

Liked a few of them, but wasn't a huge fan of the rest. Vocals were a little bit whiney for my tastes, but I can appreciate why this album is well-regarded.

Led Zeppelin

2/5

I can appreciate the musicianship here, but this album wasn't really for me.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

2/5

Aside from "The Suburbs", this was surprisingly boring to me. I liked their other album "Funeral" more. I actually didn't manage to finish this one because I just really wanted to listen to something else instead...

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

Deep Purple

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

3/5

Alright album. Reading his Wikipedia page gave some interesting context to it. Gentle enough to be decent background music but could potentially put you to sleep. Favorite track: Free Ride Album art: 4/5

Garbage

3/5

Kenya

Machito

3/5

I generally am a fan of this kind of older jazzy/big band/instrumental stuff, so this was a pretty cool album to listen to. It was very energetic but almost a little too much for me at times - "Frenzy" reminded me of the sensation of having drank too much coffee. Maybe that was the point! Overall enjoyed this one, but some of the brass sounds were a little harsh for me. Favorite track(s): None stuck out Album art: 3.5/5

Woodface

Crowded House

2/5

This one didn't really impress me much, but it was easy listening.

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

4/5

Enjoyed this one, though it did run a bit long.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

Some good songs in here and I definitely like their sound. That said, a lot of the songs sound a bit samey.

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

2/5

This was... really something. It gets two stars for being vaguely musical. Loved the creepy/weird album artwork.

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

Groovy!

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

3/5

Meh. A gentle sound that wasn't too annoying in the background but it felt kind of pretentious.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

I was not expecting to like this as much as I did! Not normally into jazz but something about her sound was very groovy to me.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

3/5

The first few songs on this album were pleasant and not what I was expecting. Towards the end though it started to get more of that random musical freestyle stuff that is cool but not really something I want to have on for 11-18 minutes at a time...

In It For The Money

Supergrass

3/5

This is a pretty solid album, but didn't wow me too much. None of the songs really tickled me, but they have a good sound for sure.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

Liked this one quite a bit! They are kind of nostalgic for me, and 1979 is one of my favorite songs. Recognized a few others, and even found a few new ones to add to my library! Cool album art too.

Nixon

Lambchop

4/5

I was not sure what to expect going into this, but I was pleasantly surprised! It had a gentle sound but the titles and lyrics seemed just a tad unhinged, which was a fascinating combo. Not sure if I will return to this artist on my own, but it was an interesting and pleasant listen.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

This was groovy and had a nice sound! Might return to it.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

I was looking forward to this one for some reason, but it disappointed me. Kind of boring - not unpleasant but didn't interest me as much as I expected.

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

I wasn't sure if I would like this one going into it, but it was actually pretty nice. Absolutely gave 80s movie vibes.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

This was really unique, I liked it. Favorite song: Five Man Army Album art: 2/5

Born To Be With You

Dion

5/5

The first few songs started off slow for me, but this album ended up having a great sound and interesting variety. Liked it more than expected.
