OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

One of my favorite albums of all time. The combination of electronic elements with the alternative punky sounds is done so well here, and I wouldn’t say they’ll get close to this level again until In Rainbows. Favorite tracks: No Surprises, Paranoid Android, Let Down

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

I would call the first half of it definitely better than the second, but still super solid. Had fun with the album, would go back and listen to the first 4 tracks again and probably Rudy and the last half of the final track. Lots of fun vocal layering, big fan of the horns, and those keys are KILLER. Really fun. Favorite tracks: School, Bloody Well Right, Hide in Your Shell, Rudy

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Really good obviously. Opening track is untouchable, I like Country Honk and the final track is a nice send off, but other than that they’re just some solid bluesy tracks to me. Very good of course, but I don’t see myself returning to it often. Favorite tracks: Gimme Shelter, Can’t Always Get What You Want, Midnight Rambler, Country Honk

Nevermind

Nirvana

3/5

Obviously good and the hits speak for themselves. However the grunge sound that was so well pioneered by then has now soured to me and many of the stretches of songs toward the end feel tired. Still many great hits.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

1/5

I didn’t know I hated this album until I was forced to listen to it here. Every song sounds the same and the mumbling and 2 riffs per song are so grating.

Face to Face

The Kinks

4/5

Very fun early album, creative in some sonic pursuits, though kind of unintentionally hilarious on occasion (the thunder sounds being so loud made me giggle) Very good. Enjoyed it much more especially after that terrible Motörhead album lol Favorite tracks: Dandy, Sunny Afternoon, Little Miss Queen of Darkness, Too Much On My Mind

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

I always forget what’s on each Beatles album and then I go “well this time I’ll get to hear deep cuts I’ve never heard!” And then I don’t cause I played Beatles RockBand. Anyway, very good. Of course.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

3/5

Very good! Gentle and pretty, though the stripped back feel felt a little one note at time. Though it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Enjoyed it.

The Specials

4/5

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

4/5

Really great and chill roots album. Lots of stuff I can see myself coming back to

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Awesome album. Very good listen. I knew Elton John well, but being able to see him show off technically in album form for the first time was great. I was hooked from the intro.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

5/5

Absolutely unexpected just how good this album is. Great story telling, very catchy, very simple, very fun. Huge fan.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

3/5

This is prime old man country. That real grandpa country. That real yeehaw bullshit.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

3/5

I thought it was alright. Pretty cinematic but nothing that kept me wanting to replay any song. A fine experience on its own though.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

It’s Springsteen, it’s great lol

World Clique

Deee-Lite

3/5

Still really fun, though it turns out I’m not as into this kind of music as I thought as it had a lot more electronic elements rather than straight up disco revival that I thought it was. Still. Solid.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

4/5

Super fun fancy and upbeat. Seems like it would be fun to get incredibly high to.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

2/5

Idk man. I just don’t think they can make songs over 4 minutes entertaining enough to justify their length.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

3/5

Solid! Enjoyed it but probably won’t revisit. Grungey sounds are always gonna go well for me

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

Leftism

Leftfield

3/5

I don’t like house, but I liked this. I’m a fan.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

A stunning album. Really great. Sad and loving at parts, but all simple and haunting. Would be a 5 if not for the replay factor.

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

3/5

3/5

Better than the 300 other British alt bands I’ve been forced to listen to that aren’t the Cure or The Smiths

Crosby, Stills & Nash

2/5

The first two songs are good but then there’s 45 minutes of album left.

Travis

2/5

sounds exactly like the music that plays during the weirdly emotional episodes of 2000s era sitcoms

3/5

Better than the other one at least. Bluesy

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

2/5

This isn’t an album we were meant to listen to at once. It should be playing in the background at a Macy’s

3/5

It’s good. It’s Metallica.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Good vibes. I’m glad this is a live album, the atmosphere helps.

The Stooges

2/5

The album was solid; but nobody told me The Stooges decided to put a weird Gregorian chant song that takes up 1/3 of the entire length of the album…
