Iron Maiden

4/5

Not an Iron Maiden fan but this album, especially for a debut, is phenomenal!

...And Justice For All

Metallica

2/5

All these songs sound the same. Vocals are annoying. How these guys have managed to last this long is beyond me.

Black Sabbath

5/5

Something tells me these guys will be around a while...

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

3/5

This is the kind of music that makes you want to sit back, toke up and chill out to. They mixed Bowie and The Kinks with a dash of something special and the whole thing just works.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

His American grew three sizes that day

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Solid album! One song stands out among the rest.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

Masterful lyrics and a down home style Memphis blues instrumental.

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Doesn’t really work as an album. I think too many of the songs sound too much alike but any one of these songs goes hard in a playlist so 3/5 for that at least.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

3/5

Soulful and tortured we can hear the impending doom in Skip's lyrics and vocals. This seems like something Beck or Morrisey or maybe Ian Curtis listened to in their youth. Do those times match up? I don't know I'm too stoned to care.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Voice is spectacular. The music works. Jeff's tragic end just adds to the mystic Listen to this album people. Thank you Jeff.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

2/5

This guy is so freaking whiny and the beats are so jumbled with unnecessary samples.

Gorillaz

3/5

A lot of good songs, and Clint Eastwood is one for the ages, but also a lot of hallow filler. A solid debut album nonetheless!

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

4/5

Amazing album! Great fusion of country, jazz, and of course rock n roll!

John Prine

4/5

A solid, solid debut album. Soulful lyrics and a catchy country twang is what gives makes this album stand the test of time.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Holy shit this had a good chunk of her hits and alt takes. This might be one of my favorite albums. She’s the strongest singer ever and the music is phenomenal. One song sounds like early Clapton.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

2/5

This album doesn’t really do it for me. It’s very of the time but doesn’t hold up very well. Good lyrics though.
