Blue Lines

Massive Attack

5/5

Funny how many songs on this album I've already heard and love. Big Wheel is the perfect closer and Horace Andy's best performance with Massive

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

Did they love tom toms in every other decade as much as they did in the 90s? Opens and closes hard, full of dissonance in the middle. Gonna listen again on headphones 🎧

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

Y'all knew about Prince's pterodactyl noises and didn't say anything? The second half of this album just gets better and better

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

Somehow avoided this one for decades. Stacked with absolute bangers.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

How can you even review jazz?

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

3/5

There's a lot going on here. Knights of Cydonia will never not go hard, but you have to get through a bunch of Ford pickup truck rock to get there.

More Specials

The Specials

3/5

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

4/5

Music: 🌈 Lyrics: 💣

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Had no idea King was such a sex symbol (he was perpetually 75 in my mind) but it's undeniable that he had this crowd wrapped around his guitar neck

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

5/5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Connected

Stereo MC's

3/5

It definitely grew on me. First half comes off incredibly corny, especially with the lead track sounding like every 90s commercial. Second half had me in a groove and a little sad that it ended.

Want One

Rufus Wainwright

3/5

It doesn't slap, but it sure sways.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

5/5

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

Roots

Sepultura

5/5

Oh so THIS is where all my favorite metal tropes came from

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

4/5

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

3/5

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

5/5

A formative album for me. AF could have just repeated "you can never go home again" for 90min and it would have hit the same.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

4/5

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

5/5

I can imagine this album had a huge influence on Radiohead

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

1/5

An hour-long solo record feels so self-indulgent that it was hard to enjoy. It gets one star for teaching me that the interplay between musicians is something I need in my music. (Headphones users beware, Jarrett's foot stomps add nothing but annoying low frequency thumps when his piano mic picks up the vibrations)
