Siamese Dream
The Smashing Pumpkins
Probably the first album on this list that I'm really into, as a big Grunge / 90s Alternative fan - though Smashing Pumpkins is not among my favourites. Today and Disarm are amazing songs, though I feel like most of their best songs were on other albums. A lot of these songs are just a bit samey to me. Still a great listen though!

Pavement
Pavement has sadly never really been my favourite 90s alt rock band. I find their sound a little off-kilter in a way that I don't really enjoy. "Harness Your Hopes", off another album is amazing, but I can't bring myself to listen to the rest of their work.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs
Marty Robbins
It was interesting to finally listen to this album in full. Like most people who've heard of Marty Robbins, we know Big Iron from the video game Fallout New Vegas, and also from the memes the song spawned. The rest of the album is a great listen, though country isn't my favourite genre. Still glad I gave it a chance though.

Mudhoney
Grunge is my favourite genre, I've been listening to every grunge band I've been able to find, ever since I was a kid. But Mudhoney has always been the one that I've never really been able to sink my teeth into. There's an artistry in pure noise and emotion, and I respect it, but I just can't listen to a dozen straight tracks of the same noise over and over. The only song of theirs I have saved on Spotify is a cover of Fang's "The Money Will Roll Right In." I like a few Green River songs, but that's where my connection to these guys ends. Wish I liked them more, but it's not for me.

I was looking at other people's reviews while listening to this. And one stuck out especially. "Bit twee." Yup. That about sums it up. I'm not British (though I do live in the UK now, but I feel like the vibe of this album doesn't quite hit the right way if you're not a nostalgic brit of a certain age.
Very catchy, and Victoria is really good, but I couldn't really move past how quaint the whole album sounds.

It's A Shame About Ray
The Lemonheads
I love an excuse to listen to The Lemonheads. Their unique brand of folksy, indie alt rock with a hint of country here and there has always been an amazing concept, and they've been one of my favourite bands from the moment I started listening to them. There's not a single bad song on this album, and there's no hesitation in me giving it 5 stars right off the bat. Their cover of Mrs. Robinson is amazing, and I prefer it to the original. The title track is absolutely perfect, and "Bit Part" is a jam too.

Did they record this album underwater? I know this came out in the late 60s, but I didn't realise they employed chimpanzees as sound engineers back then. It sounds like they recorded the whole album as a demo, and then sent it to the record label, who shot the sound engineer, and immediately sent the whole thing to production.
I like the vibe of the album, but there's something about it that feels really disjointed. There's no glue that holds the songs together.

Christina Aguilera
Before even looking, I knew the community reviews were going to be a dumpster fire. Not every album is going to be Led Zeppelin II. The whole point of using this site is to broaden your horizons. It's embarrassing seeing people reacting to this album like they're being asked to shoot the family pet.
I agree that it's not a great album. It has some of her best songs on it, but the entire album has one specific vibe to it that gets a bit old very quickly. She's a phenomenal singer, but it all feels a bit one-trick after a few songs. The backing tracks all sound a bit samey after a while too. Some of them are very sparse too. And I'm not sure that this album is as deep as she seems to think.
Still, it's not horrible. You guys are just babies.

I've never really liked the harmonica, but I don't think an album has ever made me actively hate it the way this album does. The album itself is nice, there are some really good songs here. Maybe it's just the way the album was mixed, but the harmonica was painful.

I'm 100+ albums in and I think this is the first time I've rated an album that I've never listened to 5 stars. It's easy to give 5 stars to something you are already familiar with, but it takes something very special to make you give full marks on the first listen. RIP Mr. Cohen.

I love a few Dinosaur Jr songs (none of which are on this album), but I can't help but feel that Bug would have been a lot more palatable if J Mascis could sing. It works on a few songs (again, none of which were on this album) but after a while you get VERY tired of his out-of-tune wail. I think this album would have been a lot higher rated by the community in that case. In the low 3 stars, at least.
