I understand why no one seems to like this album, but it really did something for me. At some point in the future, I will 100% be getting wine drunk and dancing around to this in my kitchen while my husband rolls his eyes.

Respectfully, two hours is a long time to listen to anything, especially if it’s not your cup of tea. There are some songs I like mixed in with a lot I didn’t.

4/5

It slaps if you’re in the mood for it.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

I never understood why my mom enjoyed Elvis Costello and I still don’t. I guess this is the shit that was exciting for people before the internet existed.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

Not sure about the choice of woodwind instruments on if you only knew. It’s giving me Degrassi vibes(the episode where Connor, Dave and Wesley made their little weird auto tune song. iykyk). That being said, I do love music from the 2000s, and this is ticking a lot of those boxes.

3/5

Ok, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be. There’s some things that were weird in like a bad way, but some of the weird worked. My husband and I have been walking around all day singing “Half shark alligator half man” to each other, so there’s that I guess.

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

2/5

I think I’d really like this if I was high, but I’m not so it’s a little bit much.

Electric

The Cult

3/5

Not bad, just kind of average. There were some good moments where I was into it, tho.

Led Zeppelin

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Dang, this thing is long. I had to listen to it in separate increments, because my pop music loving 5 year old child deemed it “too boring,” and “old people music.” However, even she liked Sir Duke and Pastime Paradise. Anyways, doesn’t matter what she thinks. I liked this boring, old people music.

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

2/5

You’re telling me there’s nothing else we could’ve put on this list in place of this shit? I listen to some absolute, hot garbage and even I hated this.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

I wish I liked jazz, but it’s just so repetitive and boring.

2/5

I think I’ll corroborate with the majority of reviews for this one : 1. I have never heard of this band. 2. I’m not sure why this is on the list, as it is neither culturally significant or innovative. 3. It is bland.

Some of it was a lot, but I respect what she’s trying to do here.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

4/5

I remember listening to this in the car with my mom as a kid in the morning on the way to school, so the nostalgia makes this album so much sweeter. I love her voice, and the chill vibes.
