Elton John

5/5

a lot of deep tracks from Elton i was unaware of. Heard tiny dancer many times, but Levon right after was awesome. self titled song was great. surprised to hear indian sunset and hear the original song that 2pac sampled on Ghetto gospel. overall great start to the 1001 album endeavor.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

3/5

Ive heard a bit of depeche mode but i dont recognize any of these songs. should be a good one. My local radio station has been shilling them for a long time which has gotten annoying. keeping an open mind. its rainy today so this album is hittin different. first song was enjoyable. October+rain makes this album in good timing. Track 1 and track 3 are ones ive heard a handful of times. Album was too long

Very enjoyable and guaranteed to put you in a good mood.

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

2/5

I like the style of music. I would like this more if it was a 30 minute album and not a 1hr album. I can only handle so much. Each song seemed to be too long. Archives of pain - bass line was real nice. 6 songs in and the music is growing on me. definitely need to be in the mood and not at work on a tuesday morning. alright it was pretty good. love this challenge and getting introduced to bands and artists ive never heard of.

Hell ya good shit here. gumbo ya ya and mama roux are so sick. Kinda reminds of 'spill the wine' song. love that one

fast paced and unable to understand the lyrics. love it. feel like 2 stars is too low and 3 is slightly too high. im gonna go with 3 because of the 20 albums ive reviewed so far this one is more memorable.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

4/5

love this. listened to NOLA jazz all weekend

The Velvet Underground

2/5

liked it more than their banana album but still not my thing. the only thing making it enjoyable to me is the fact that it released in 1969

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

2/5

cant give a good review bc i had to listen to it on youtube and it was not a good experience

The Undertones

4/5

fuckin right mate

Low

David Bowie

2/5

so far i dont think its very exciting. halfway through. some cool sounds but thats pretty much all it is.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

ive passively listened to this full album maybe 10 or so times while doing chores around the house.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

4/5

great stuff. especially on a rainy day

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

3/5

Ive never purposefully listened to megadeth. I thought it was a good listen with interesting riffs and some odd time signatures here and there. The opening song was like 3 songs in one. Hangar 18 was probably my favorite and Lucretia right after that. Dave mustaine and Nick menza are a great duo

Snivilisation

Orbital

3/5

Before I listen: I've never heard of this group and have no clue what to expect. I see that its 1hr20min in duration. Could be in for a good time or a bad time. Its rainy and slow day at work so ill listen while I do some cleaning and organizing. Released in 1993 is insane. They were ahead of their time. I have been an electronic music enjoyer for about a decade. Daft Punk is my #1 artist of all time and I also enjoy Mezerg. I believe the two groups drew a lot of inspiration from Snivilisation. I love that this album is included in the 1001 albums to listen to before i die.

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

my fav greenday album

In Utero

Nirvana

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

listened to this 100000 times now

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

4/5

I started this album while I was on my way to the dmv, so my morale was very low. This album made my morning so much better despite the other thigns going on. Very influential too. Its almost a 5 star album but for me its not that replayable unless im in the mood for it, which doesnt seem like it would be often.

Stand!

Face to Face

The Kinks
