Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

The instrumentation is awesome, but the lyrics are fairly cringe for most of it. Best track: Everything Will Be Alright

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Wow I've never sat and listened to this album all the way through and it's just incredible. The only bummer is it gets pretty country toward the back half. Favorite song: I've Seen That Movie Too

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

The Clash

4/5

Was honestly surprised how much I enjoyed this one. Not my style of music usually but this was great. Favorite song: Hate and War - caveat for the last verse

Foo Fighters

3/5

I can tell that real skill went into this, but it's just not really for me.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Some really compelling and powerful vocals, and it's clear that she's setting a precedent that will be emulated for decades to come. However, her voice does bug me a little in some of the songs.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

Incredible voice, really cool and interesting artistic choices, but kinda horny for my tastes.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

Femi Kuti

5/5

In Utero

Nirvana

1/5

Just not for me. Gave me a headache

Amnesiac

Radiohead

5/5

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Green

R.E.M.

4/5

Some really incredible guitar stuff. Best song: Orange Crush

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

5/5

Really fun! Favorite song: Twisting the Night Away

Doolittle

Pixies

2/5

Just too much wailing for me, personally.

Paul Simon

5/5

Kind of more country than I normally like but WOW that guitar is AMAZING. Favorite song: Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

3/5

This one was hard for me to rate... a lot of the sound layering was super cool, but the passive listenability is pretty low. Favorite song: The Talking Drum

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

Like two fun songs and the rest are meh. Weird lyrics but it didn't make me actively sad to listen to.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Easy to listen to. Beautiful voice, not really my preferred genre but it was a fun listen. Favorite song: Breakfast in Bed

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

What a weird album. Favorite song: Synchronicity II

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

4/5

I liked everything about this except the weird voice crack thing he does sometimes. Favorite song: Buggin'

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

1/5

Some people can cook asparagus incredibly well but I still don't want to eat it. This album is undeniably an artistic masterpiece, but I wanted to take off my headphones basically the whole time I was listening. Favorite song: Thrasher

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

What a weird album, but honestly I super loved this. Not sure about the vocalizations but everything else is A++. Favorite song: Chameleon

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

3/5

I really enjoyed the guitar and drum sections in this, and I liked the scratchy voiced vocals, but the lyrics are too irreligious for me to get into it. Favorite song: Wake Up Dead

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

Feels a little rougher around the edges than my favorite Beatles stuff but was still a really fun listen. Favorite song: Getting Better

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

1/5

These songs are way too horny for a man whose voice sounds like it's been run through a meme filter. I don't think I'd have enjoyed it anyway but that's what made this unlistenable for me.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

The instrumentation in this is awesome and I really enjoyed the sound of it if when i was a little zoned out, but if I started tuning into the lyrics I liked it a lot less.

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

I liked the instrumentals and I enjoyed her voice a lot, but a little too discordant to be something I'd come back to often. Still a lit of fun though, went by fast.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

3/5

Some of these I like but the longer ones definitely get repetitive. Some are definitely a little grating.

Technique

New Order

4/5

I liked this more than I expected. The vocals are kind of meh but otherwise I really enjoyed bopping along. Even more fun with binaural headphones.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Love the instrumentals. Lyrics felt a little goofy in a few places. Overall pretty fun but not an everyday kind of listen for me.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

Contemplative in a way I really enjoyed.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

A few songs I really liked and a few I really didn't.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

5/5

Parachutes

Coldplay

5/5

Loved Coldplay as a kid and it's even better now. 10/10

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

5/5

Honestly very fun. What a voice!

The Score

Fugees

5/5

Really different than what I normally listen to. I feel like part of what makes it so special is that it has a clear narrative aim and manages to do exactly what it's trying to do. I feel like I need more than a day to sit with it and have a fully developed opinion, but definitely a super sharp and thoughtful album.
