The Soft Bulletin
The Flaming Lips
Finally, the well known alternative psychadelic Flaming Lips. Iconic album of theirs too, but they ended up doing even better in their next album (*cough* Yoshimi) and is one of my favorites from the 2ks.
It's pretty good if you know what you're looking for and what to expect. This album grew on me over the years and is in my record collection as well.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend this to first listeners because of this and would've rated this lower years ago, but I can't change the past and you can't control how you feel.

As today's youts would say... "Mid". If some of them even know this album or the artist...?
Whiskey Bar > Light my fire
Wouldn't actively seek this album out but I am aware of it and the band themselves. Just not for me.

Nah but it's alright.

1999
Prince
Classic Prince and the album I personally connected with when I first heard it.
Funny that this came out in the 80s, but I like the 90s, and this is still my favorite Prince albums. I'll take his advice to heart, party like it's 1999.

Blind album and artist. Don't really have a lot to say except it's different than what I normally listen to.

White Blood Cells
The White Stripes
Easy 5, classic hits. Napoleon Dynamite is responsible for me discovering this band and album.
I'll never forget the day Jack White told me to "fuck off" after I saw him live. I kinda deserved it for bringing this album to a Solo (Jack White) show and waited outside the venue, and didn't buy VIP meet n Greet, and security already told me to leave but it was on the sidewalk in public...

Sonic Youth
A band I discovered way too late when exploring the 90s...
Another classic, but I would not recommend to 1st time listeners. This band is always an afterthought but their music is still great to me.

Blind album and artist. World music ain't for me. Has some catchy parts but could not get through it.

The Predator
Ice Cube
Know the hit, never actually dove deep into the solo works of each member of NWA aside from Dre, Sorry Ice and Eazy E... prove me wrong?
I thought the lyrics were great here, and I Learned he was the main ghostwriter for NWA which is pretty cool. Explains why I like them...
Overall a solid 4 I'd say.

Toys In The Attic
Aerosmith
HELL YES, my favorite Aerosmith album.
Toys is a classic opener, the Hits go hard, and I can't wait to see em live in January. Hopefully Steven doesn't hurt himself again screaming too loud before the show.... Dudes got froggy lips, a big mouth, and can scream like a psychopath.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Blind album and artist. I guess this is one of the albums from the modified list up to I wanna say... 2018?
I recognize the 2nd track actually, don't know from where though. This album is alright and catchy for the most part. Bit repetitive getting near in the middle. The 2nd track stuck out for sure.

Ice Cube
Another Ice Cube album... would prefer some more diversity from the random album generator.
Pretty sure this is the his 1st post NWA solo album. Definitely hear the influence and classic Ice. Not his best but decent.

Blind album, know the artist. Very prolific.
I surprisingly enjoyed this album more than I thought and I don't know why... it's was just all around great. Soothing and well rounded. Simple songs that show a lot of emotion and feeling.

So I surprisingly have seen this album cover before, but I never listened to it or even remembered the artist. So going in blind...
I definitely see the appeal of this album, but it is NOT a go to for me. I think my ears almost fell off my head from all the bass. Definitely guilty of skipping a few songs and jumping around the album. But the style and influence is there, just not for me.

Happiest Days -> Brick Pt 2 giving me the goosebumps to this day. Comfortably numb is a classic. What a concept album...
Hot take: this is THE superior Pink Floyd album. Not dark side, not division bell, not quite animals, wish you were here is close....
