American Idiot
Green Day
A slice of nostalgia from my days as a teenage skateboarding wannabe punk.
The opening half of the album is still great and the latter half still kind of falls flat.
Not going to find anything too deep or profound here. They knew their audience - angsty, anti-establishment teens.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Wu-Tang Clan
Iconic. Some songs are still great. Others less so. The beats definitely feel dated.

Never been a big fan of prog rock. Tom Sawyer is a good song at least

A peaceful, beautiful journey through life that ends up feeling a little disjointed with the second side

Californication
Red Hot Chili Peppers
An album I enjoyed as a teenager but one that hasn’t aged well. Not sure if it’s because songs like Scar Tissue and Californication have been played to death on every rock station across the country or if it’s the lyrics or Anthony Keidis’ voice or what but I just can’t stomach it anymore

Morrissey
If you forget the fact that Morrissey is an asshole it’s a decent album but…Morrissey is an asshole.

I’ve never listened to an entire Elvis album. I can see why he was such a hit. Very catchy pop rock

Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick’s age shows on this one. There’s some bangers for sure but it’s mostly just your typical gangster rap themes - robberies, drive bys, getting drinks etc.

I like jazz but didn’t get too excited with this album. It’s an ok album but nothing really stood out to me. Enjoyable as background jazz
