Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

5/5

9/10 honestly felt some trepidation about listening to dylan for an hour straight but you get used to the voice and the songwriting is fun and mostly varied

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

5/5

Surprised I liked the slowest song ("Into You") the most here but pretty much everything is excellent. Lyrics to "P.E. Squad" are kinda funny sober but the overlapping vocals and lyrical focus would definitely turn a trip sour for me.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

10/10 (even the skits are decent!) Fave song: "Da Mystery of Chessboxin" production, vocals, lyrics, all come together in a perfectly unified front that is almost impossible to imagine 9 different people sustaining for an entire album

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

6/10 Fave song: "Running Gun" listening to a 50s country/western album about the wild west in 2023 makes for a gordian knot of (self-)mythologizing and stereotyping so i'm not even going to try to unpack the lyrics or place in culture. robbins has an amazing voice and the backing music was varied enough to keep things from getting too stale

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

7/10 (a little overrated but the highs are great) fave song: tied with "Five Years" and "Suffragette City" thought it dragged a bit in the middle (never been a huge "Starman" fan) but the concept is cool and it opens and finishes strong. "Hang on to Yourself" answers the rarely asked question, "what if David Bowie was in the Ramones?".

Parklife

Blur

2/5

britpop just not my thing

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

9/10 classic album by an all time great artist

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

3/5

6/10 interesting, with a lot of variety, but that makes it hit or miss

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

7/10 relaxing

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

8/10 odd production choices mar an otherwise excellent album (with an iconic cover) favorite song: She's Lost Control

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

3/5

5/10 i'm a casual here: the hits are good, rest is forgettable

Black Sabbath

3/5

6/10

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

1/5

2/10 generally like experimental-ish music but this mostly sounded like it should have a voice interrupting every five minutes saying "Please continue to stay on the line. We thank you for your patience."

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

9/10 my demographics contractually require me to give this no lower than 4 stars

Vulnicura

Björk

3/5

6/10 kind of hypnotizing

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

Nevermind

it's a classic for a reason, loses steam a bit towards the end
