Oracular Spectacular
MGMT
Liked it, but didn't love it. There's a few tracks that were already in my library, but the rest were just fine imo.

Guero
Beck
Beck is an artist's musician. That is to say there's a lot to unpack from a technical perspective, toying with different techniques and concepts, but as a casual listener I don't find it particularly interesting. If I were a musician, I could probably better appreciate the music more than just the occasional catchy track or two.
Something about the pacing of his music just doesn't do it for me. It's slower, he draws out words, it's often lacking energy that I'm looking for when actively listening, but it's fine as something to throw on in the background. Inoffensive static that won't override conversation in the room or distract you if focusing on a task.

Trans Europe Express
Kraftwerk
You can definitely tell this was the influence for much of the hater edm/electronic/synth music. It was a pleasant listen, though doubt it's one I'll revisit.

Rage Against The Machine
Rage Against The Machine
Pivotal, iconic, and hard hitting bangers from start to finish.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul
Otis Redding
Nothing to say other than it's just so many classics masterfully covered by an iconic voice. Not a single track I'd change.
4
Oct 11 2023
Come Away With Me
Norah Jones
I was so incredibly bored by this that I couldn't even finish. I skipped through the last seven tracks listening to excerpts and it was all so generic and dull. No energy, lyrics didn't strike me as particularly interesting or clever. 0 stars should be an option for albums such as this.
1
Oct 12 2023
Architecture And Morality
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Loved it. You can definitely feel it's influence in later synth pop type music. With a few exceptions, reminded me a lot of OST for the movie "Drive", which was composed by Cliff Martinez, and drew heavy inspiration of synth europop of the 80s. For sure adding this album into my library.

A Walk Across The Rooftops
The Blue Nile
Honestly was so disinterested I don't recall listening to this album. I know for a fact that I did, and the only thought I recall is "this is a lame Bowie knock off".

Grace
Jeff Buckley
Arguably has a good voice, but I didn't find any of these songs particularly deep, interesting, or enjoyable. The cover of Hallelujah was fine, but nothing to get excited about.

Selling England By The Pound
Genesis
It was pleasant, and I like the history behind the album, but the album itself as a listening experience is just so-so in my opinion.

Blood On The Tracks

It was fine. Nothing really stayed with me afterwards. It was just something that was on while I worked for a bit.

Tracy Chapman
Solid 3/5 would listen to again but wouldn't necessarily seek it out.
3
Oct 19 2023
Hybrid Theory
Linkin Park
I'm biased, because I bought this when it came out and listened to it on repeat until I knew just about every single track by heart. 10/5 amazing album from a voice we'll sadly never hear again.

Oct 22 2023
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Red Hot Chili Peppers
RHCP heavy bass-forward tracks are on full display here. Lyrically fun and entertaining, but it's the bass that ultimately carries this band for me. Must of the songs don't really hit, with a few exceptions that went on to become his such as "Under The Bridge", where there's a little more depth and vocals are less rap style.
3/5 for the nostalgia and bass.
3
Oct 23 2023
Licensed To Ill
Beastie Boys
My judgement is skewed on this one due to nostalgia. Banger. 100 out of 10. I listen to it from start to finish probably twice a year? It's just good, dumb fun. I enjoy music that's story telling, and all of these are telling stories about party life and being young shitheads, unapologetically.

I can already tell this is going to be 10/5 for me. Can't tell how much is nostalgia and how much is because it's genuinely a banger of an album.

Feast of Wire
Calexico
For me, this had a lot of the right ingredients, but somehow came out half baked. Music is solid, lyrically I wasn't feeling it. I could tell there was passion and intent, and maybe I'm just not in the mindset to appreciate it, but this was a dud for me.

Ash
I flip back and forth between liking the energetic riffs and harder rock, and disliking the vocals. First track drops like a bomb but as soon as the lyrics come in the energy disappears it seems, and I find myself disinterested. That continues throughout most of the album.
Girl From Mars is kind of nice
Kung Fu is fun, and I'm pretty sure it was used in a Jackie Chan movie during the credits/bloopers, so it gets a bonus nostalgia bump.
Overall not a terrible album, but not sure I'd put it on my 1001 must listens.

The first track is a straight up banger and a great into to the album. However, I feel things taper off, become almost repetitive, until the last track. The final track is just warbling and screeching nonsense. Sad finish.

Another album I feel without any sort of context just doesn't make any sense. Was it important to a movement or a pivotal album in a specific genre or scene? Without doing research on it, I have no clue. As it is, standing alone, contextless, it's pretty uninspiring and uninteresting.
