Undeniable energy wants to get up and turn the stereo louder itself

Really pleasant listen even if none of the individual songs really stood out to me. The overall album experience was lovely.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Amazing recoding. Can place each of the two people in the crowd when they clap. But not the music for me

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Bit bland for my tastes

Dust

Screaming Trees

2/5

Something had to be the inspiration for all the famous dad rock out there. Didn't do it for me but they have their sound and this probably came out exactly how they wanted

Femi Kuti

5/5

That was brilliant. So much joy and diversity in each song. The liberal use of horn sections was *chef's kiss*

World Clique

Deee-Lite

4/5

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

Title track is genius. The rest is very good but not as good

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Besides Sledgehammer this is all a bit too epic for epics sake. I don't really get it

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

2/5

Urg. I'm so tired of this album, the song choices are interesting and the execution is fine but I don't get how it is seminal in any way

Electric

In It For The Money

Supergrass

4/5

Vastly better and more fun than most of the bands liked into britpop.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

3/5

Got it on the wrong day. At the right time is a brilliant slab of deep dance classics with a few more layers than the usual dance / electro fare

Os Mutantes

5/5

I loved that slab of weird. Even through all the weird it still grooves and is easily accessible

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

Very fun listen

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

Couldn't listen to it too often but it's brilliant mood matching music

The College Dropout

Kanye West

2/5

Not for me

The hits are huge but there are parts that get a bit too repititive to make the whole album infinitly listenable

I'm sure this sounds exactly how they intended it to. I find some pieces that I really enjoyed the strangeness and could see myself giving it another listen when I'm in the mood for a serious appreciation session. But as background, going about your day music it was not a hit with me
