They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

5/5

Starts of really promising, experimental for sure. It has its lengths in sections (as is often the case with this kind of music imo), but still around 1000x more interesting and varied than all the 60s-rock/pop boringness. Would give like 3-4 stars, as I can't really pinpoint the replay value just yet and there could be more dynamic (even when it's loud and noisy it feels kind of held back), but then I remembered I've given way worse (especially way more boring and uninspired) albums 3 stars, so this gets 5.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

It's good, it's relaxed, it's easy listening. There's not a lot of of undeniable hooks, sisters of the moon is an absolute hit though. It seems like a good album for drives, as background music while not paying too much attention to it. Especially the second half really overstays its welcome, it just gets boring – personal taste, but still. 5-6/10

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

There's some good songs on this, but in general it is pretty boring. At least it's not too long.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

This is a fun album. No unnecessary lengths, no fillers, good pace. It obviously isn't perfect, but really that's not what this is about.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

It's hard and fun and obviously there's fight for your right. maybe a little bit too long? Really good album.

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Yeah, it's actually nicer than all that 60s-Rock/Pop stuff. At least more interesting in general, maybe because it's more uptempo (in general, or at least in the first couple of songs). Behind Blue Eyes gets stuck in your head, but I think, there's other songs on this album that are better.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Yes, this is nice! Lots of feeling, lots of emotion and it all flows so nicely. At times some songs fade into arbitrariness and/or cheesiness, but very rarely. Thoroughly enjoyable.
