4/5

Electric

The Cult

4/5

4/5 Loved some of the guitar solos.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

3/5

3/5 I liked some of the sounds, I imagine this is what set some of the berlin-underground-bunker vibe that would later become associated with the Matrix and other similar things.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

3/5

3/5 Some cool post rock.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

4/5

4/5

4/5 Great album, very even level, a lot of ”must play” songs for a somewhat short album.

3/5

3/5 Too same-ey and mellow for my taste. Some good songs, bur ultimately not too big a fan of the sound to like a full album of it.

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

4/5

4/5 big fan of the flow and witty lyricism of the album. Some choruses were a little bit weak, but the instrumentals more than made up for that

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

4/5

4/5 I thought this was garage rock after the first track. Then I was proven wrong. Then I thought it was stadium rock. Once again I was wrong. Incredible soundscape throughout the album, always switching it up. My personal nitpick is that the same vocal type of whisper-echo song isn’t my personal favourite, but all in all, it’s one of those albums I’m happy I listened to.
