L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

It had great sounds but the words weren’t familiar to me so it didn’t draw me in. I’m still glad I can say I listened to it.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Surprisingly good beats- some of the lyrics were angry but sound justified. A nice throwback.

Such a fun album- really enjoyed singing to it in the car

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Pretty nice. I liked it.

1/5

I hated it, it’s just totally not my vibe. Way too noisy.

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

Even though I’m not a big fan of heavy metal, I liked the musicality of this album for the tune. It had rhythm, and lyrics- but overall I probably wouldn’t pick it unless I was feeling angry/angsty.

Vespertine

Björk

Finally a lighter album… and still I didn’t care for it. But now I can say I’ve listened to Bjork.

This is the first album not on Spotify. It was alright. I think I’d need to have a whiskey and a record player for it to feel good and relaxing. Not bad though.

If the goal of this entire project is to get me to find new music that I’d actually listen to again and again then this is it… 5 stars- super light and relaxing and fun
