Just absolutely stellar production from Ye and Dilla. Easy 5.

I can definitely see why some call this one of the best albums of the 90s, not just in alt rock, but in general. An hour never passed by so quick. Pretty easy 5 to give.

Speakerboxxx: Some absolutely killer beats and raps from Big Boi and company. 4.5 bumped up to 5. The Love Below: An examination of love and how it can screw with the rest of our emotions almost every time that just so happens to be peak. Solid 5 Stars. Overall, while it is over 2 hours, that time just seems to fly on by while listening, and that's the best compliment you can give for a double album. Solid 5 Stars.

Usual P Funk goodness.

The Boss has got some good tracks.

Has some weird filler tracks, but still some decent tunes nonetheless.

Great album. Terrible stereo mix.

Amazing stuff.

More of an album that's got the strong stuff in the front, but still some decent tracks nonetheless.

For my first Neil Young album, it certainly is Something.

Some alright soul tracks.

Definitely in my ballpark.

Classic.

Coldplay beat the sophomore slump.

A pioneering classic in the burgeoning electronic genre

more of a 3.5/5 for the slow start, but still a decent album nonetheless.

An excellent debut.

One of The Albums of all time.

Way too long, but still some good DnB.

For my first Björk album, this is certainly a good way to introduce her musical style.

A pioneer of the hip-hop genre.

A wonderful transition from Eno's early work to his ambient pieces.

Has some good tracks, but otherwise kinda just in one ear and out the other.

A classic. Simple as can be.

Some good moments, but Christ, you could've cut off a few minutes, huh?

Good ass funk.

A stellar debut. Some tracks could've gone a bit shorter, but they still kick ass regardless.

Prince never fails to deliver banger after banger.

All my homies love Thundercat.

This kind of album just appeals to me, y'know?

It's the type of album that just makes you feel like you're in a specific place, taking the sites in and seeing what it has in store. It is some Good Stuff. (also Thom Yorke jumpscare on track 7 lmao)

It's alright. Really don't have anything else to put here.

Songs can be a bit samey at times, but it has heart, so i'll give it a pass. Shame about the shit 60's stereo mix, though.

A delightful collection of solo music from a key Beach Boys member.

Good background music, at least.

Goddamn, this is a good album. I'd only listened to Ghost Town and A Message To You, Rudy before this, and I gotta say I've really been sleeping on this group.

Certainly has dated production, but it still is some pretty decent pop tunes, nonetheless. And to think this dude, was part of the group that made Metal Box. A deserved glowup.

I almost cried to Where Did You Sleep Last Night. Fucking incredible.

Some standard, but good country. Love the harmony of the trio, though.

The Stones almost never disappoint, and this album is no exception.

Say something once, why say it again? Talking Heads at their simplest, but it still kicks as much ass as their later discography.

As someone who only listened to the singles from this album, the album-only tracks certainly surprised me while listening to it.

Never listened to much trip hop before, but I get why people like this. Nice vocals, varied beats, and a general chill vibe make this album a good time.

Some decent DnB. At least it's more coherent than Logical Progression.

Different from the albums most people know from the Beastie Boys, but it's another killer album from the trio.

Bob Dylan is a master of folk, whether that be acoustic or electric (Judas!).

Definitely one of the albums that was affected by the mindset of "Look how much space there is on a CD! We should use as much of it as we can!" and not realize that it just bloats out the record. There's some good tracks on here (Drive You Home), but otherwise it just sort of meanders around due to said bloating.

A high-energy burst of chunky guitar riffs, punk sensibilities, and the future sound of the Grunge scene starting to blossom make this EP and other bonus tracks a headbanging good time.

A nice, simple, and groovy collection of pop tunes that have some lovely vocals. Short, but oh so sweet.

A haunting collection of songs that tell the tale of a man who knows his end is soon.

A highly energetic and funky slice of the late 80s to early 90s Madchester scene.

Simply beautiful, especially Videotape. I do like OK Computer more, but this is certainly a close second.

Pretty much good all around, except for Mother, which gave me a chuckle thanks to the vocals.

Certainly more than what I was thinking this album was going to be. A nice guitar-based sound that has some neat surprises thrown in from time to time. While it does have the same problem as The Verve album with its nearly hour-long length, it's less of a slog here then on that album.

A quick 30ish minute burst of punk and synth-fueled tracks that give the concept of De-Evolution a sound. Great stuff.

The vocal harmonies the duo give are simply legendary. The slight jabs at Bob Dylan and the news certainly give this album a bit of a cynical edge, but it's mostly a quaint little slice of folk.

Has some highlights, but other just standard folk.

I dig this album HARD. Nice chunky guitar riffs and the vocals give this album a great mix of blues and garage rock influence.

New wave punk at its finest.

W H Y

An awesome slice of 80s synthpop. Listen is a definite highlight.

I can see how this influenced The Flaming Lips when they were making The Soft Bulletin. Simply beautiful production. The last track being a jam certainly helps this album out, also.

Listening to this just makes me want more of Bowie doing soul. Great mix, too.

Not really much to say. Just some nice country-infused pop tunes.

Wasn't expecting much when I put this on, but WOW, did it ever blow me away. The music here is simply immaculate, especially The Grave and the Constant. 50 minutes never flew by so fast.

Certainly an important milestone in 80s post punk, but it's mostly just decent all around.

I liked this more than Stand. Just some nice funk all around.

Amazing album.

Just some good ass hip-hop from Missy and the various guest artists she brought together.

Hell of a lot better than Maxinquaye. The reduced length helps, not to mention those sick beats they got going. I'd give that a 3 now in comparison to this gem.

A killer followup to Bringing It All Back Home that expands on the electric sound introduced in that album.

While the sound can be a bit sparse at places, this still is a decent album, nonetheless. I can totally see why goth kids love this group.

It's peak.

Mark Knopfler can do no wrong when it comes to making great tunes.

Psychedelic rock just has a certain energy to it, and this album is no exception.

A classic, through and through.

haha funni weed man :) (But seriously, this is an awesome distillation of what makes reggae such a compelling genre.)

This is just some basic country, with an iffy mix, and a nearly hour-long runtime to boot.

I hate the fact that I like the album this much. FUCK MORRISSEY, ALL MY HOMIES HATE MORRISSEY

Despite the usual 60s habit of not having a great stereo mix, this is a pretty good album because of its surprisingly varied sound for a 60s British pop act.

It has that certain late 80's charm, thanks to the production backing up her great vocals.

A nice and chunky-sounding blues album from the eccentric who went on to make Trout Mask Replica.

Pretty damn good folk for something that was recorded on a reel-to-reel bought for 100 pounds.

Banger after banger. This album flows so well, you would think it's a river.

An overall nice package, reminiscent of the California music scene of the 60s and 70s.

Nile Rodgers is a master of funk, and this album is just another well-crafted example of it.

*THIS REVIEW DOES NOT CONDONE THE RECENT WORDS/ACTIONS OF THE ARTIST GIVEN IN RECENT YEARS* An excellent debut, with great beats, and awesome guest features.

Pretty damn good pop for their debut record. 80's production never sounded so better.

This is a good album, but it's a bit one-sided, considering a bunch of the bigger Bowie songs are on Side 1.

Highly energetic, with a message in the lyrics that still prevails in modern times. Truly ahead of its time.

Just some good ol' Indie with electronic elements.

Man, her voice is good. Plus, the production is pretty good as well.

Like a calm sunny day, this album just a peaceful energy to its' tracklist.

A hectic, but overall nice collection of 80's Alternative. Plus, having Where Is My Mind? certainly helps, too.

While having some bright spots here and there, this just ain't it, chief.

Just a energetic hell of a ride. Some of the best britpop of the 90s.

I really don't have much of anything to say except that this is an excellent bit of 90's Alternative.

Despite its' issues with the loudness clipping and it having the Long CD Album problem of the 90s, this is still peak RHCP.

I went into this expecting it to sound similar to Exodus, but it has more of a energetic sound to it, which barely puts it above the Bob Marley record to me. Plus, it's better mixed, methinks.

For being essentially Bob Dylan's backing band during the late 60s, these are some killer tunes. Love the organ bits on Chest Fever, specifically.

Damn. Symphonic Metal goes Hard.

The Imperial Phase of the Pet Shop Boys was short, but glorious while it was going on.

Asides from Runaway Child, Running Wild, this is just your average Motown Hitsville record with the usual shitty 60s "Stereo" mix.

One of the best damn debuts you'll ever hear.

Good. Ass. Jazz. Nothing much else to say.

IDK if it's just me, but I love these sorts of albums where it's just one man and his instruments. This one gives me the feeling of a private performance in a club where it's just you and some other guests just being mesmerized by the artist.

It may only be ambient, but Eno makes it his own beast.

*THIS REVIEW STILL DOES NOT CONDONE THE RECENT COMMENTS/ACTIONS OF THE ARTIST* The comeback of the decade. Still sounds great after all this time.

Hell of a slice of early Pop Punk. Energetic and lively all the way through.

It's just kind of your standard 80's rock album. Nothing too special.

This album just has an ethereal feeling to it thanks to the lovely Indian microtones present throughout.

Has flavors of generic mid-2010s era radio pop, but the lyrics elevate it to a 4 in my book.

The Hardest Working Man in Show Business can put on one hell of a show.

While having some decent tunes in the back half, some of the tracks just feel like they'd be playing in a crappy Hobby Lobby. It's a low 3.5 for me.

I've heard great things about Fiona, and they are 100% correct. The production is simply sublime, and her voice just radiates this certain warmth to it.

This does not feel like it's from 1981. Its sound feels like its a decade ahead of the curb. Excellent stuff.

Riot GRRRL is a very underappreciated genre.

Despite her recent comments about some topics, this is still a great album.

It's just so good, man. What more is there to say?

Love me some 90s alternative.

A singer gone too soon due to her vices left some wonderful soul-filled tracks behind.

Just a simple but great collection of quick, jazzy love songs that make you want to get up and dance.

The beginning part of the legendary Berlin Trilogy shows off both Bowie and Eno's musical skills to their (at-the-time) peak.

Just kicks all of the ass throughout its runtime. The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal was a gold mine of artists.

Some good tracks, but overall, it's just decent.

What a lovely voice she has. As someone who only knew her from the Pet Shop Boys song she did, it was very interesting to hear her at this point of time.

Kinda standard stuff from these guys, but Waterloo Station definitely elevates this to a 4 for me.

A powerhouse of a debut. Only heard the title track before, so I was expecting similar tracks to that, but the way they have such variety on each of the other tracks was such a pleasent surprise.

Some classic crooning from one of the greats.

A high energy shotgun blast of an album that starts at 10 and never lets up 'til the final track.

While I'm more a fan of early R.E.M, this album still is a banger.

Kinda feels like standard U2, but that ain't a bad thing in the slightest.

RHCP at one of their many peaks. Goofy, but still funky as hell.

Every Singer-Songwriter album we've gotten has been at the very least good, and this is no exception. The mix is nice, and while there are some long tracks, they flow pretty well, and it makes the 40+ minute length manageable.

I'd heard some early U2 before this, but this album really caught me off guard by how nice it sounds.

The album has some of the most chill vibes this side of Take Five or Serge Gainsborough.

Starts at 10 and never stops. Rager of an album.

Despite the weirdness of Feedback, this is still a great live set from one of the best jam bands out there.

Led Zep almost never disappointed with their albums and how rockin' they were.

Stanky as can be.

While this album is the remnants of the much grander Lifehouse project, it's still an awesome set of tracks.

While having the usual 90s Length Problem, this is still some kickass metal.

Kinda standard new wave for the most part, but Our Lips Are Sealed and We Got The Beat do bump it up in the rating.

A nice piece of late 90s alt rock, but a little forgettable.

What a voice. And what an album.

What much more is there to say? It's Nevermind.

A haunting slice of post-punk that people only know for the shirt, which is a damn shame.

Otis is a legend of R&B, and this album helped cement it.

A lovely sounding album that holds a sinister bleakness once you learn more about the artist.

A good ol' slice of hard and glam rock from one of its biggest artists.

A little bit forgettable, but at least the orchestration is great.

One of the best damn debuts you'll hear from the hip hop genre.

Psychedelic Rock that just has so many good riffs and solos from Mr. Hendrix.

Jazz with a (at the time) current message, which also happens to have some great instrumentals.

I wasn't clicking with this album at first, but when track 3 started, I knew this album was going to be a great one.

This is one of those albums that you know shouldn't have listened to in one session. But I did it anyway, and now I regret it a little. But anyways, this is mostly just your standard vocal jazz act from the 50s but stretched out over way longer of a runtime. At least I liked The Real American Folk Song, though.

It's most likely my punk and ska loving tendencies, but I really dig the sounds on this album.

Not that much to say besides that is some decent alternative and that Use Somebody is an A-tier track. Shame they became NFT shills later down the line.

An endearing classic of the Progressive Rock genre, and in some ways still not topped since.

The first side is just a perfect piece of music to me, plus the second side has some good tunes on it as well.

Nothing much here to write about except that it's just some decent electronic tunes.

A great album from one of the best singer-songwriters. Plus, the fact that the title track and Just the Way You Are both sampled on Daft Punk's Phœnix does give it bonus points in my eyes.

A very good slice of new wave. Besides the obvious hits at the start of the album, these tracks all just have this infectious energy to them.

Did not know what I was expecting when I started this album, but that second track just fucking blew me away. These Australians can make some banger punk tunes.

This album has a feeling of a personal concert where the artist has the freedom to talk about what they have on their mind.

Pretty damn good slice of a bunch of rock genres.

This group being so good right from the gate, plus the fact that Trip Hop is such an easygoing genre elevate this album pretty high in my book.

Gothic rock at its finest.

It's a good record, plus it has Take Your Mama on it, so it's got that going for it.

The critics weren't lying. This album starts at 100 and stays there for the entire runtime.

Folk punk is a genre where you just can't help but sing along, and this album is no exception.

Killer beats plus a legitimate cause that's still prevalent in today's society have made this album age as little as possible.

The hype for this album following its' surprise release was legendary. As for the music, yeah, it lives up to the hype. Beyonce's voice is always a treat to listen to, plus the fact that some of these beats are stellar makes a very easy 5 for me.

A masterclass of various 80s pop subgenres, with an excellent mix to boot. Excluding the Big 3 tracks of Sledgehammer, Big Time, and In Your Eyes, the rest of the album just sounds lovely, including the song with Kate Bush I'd totally forgotten about 'til listening to this, and Mercy Street, which is a rare 5+ minute song that never loses steam.

Some of the best electronic tracks to come out of the 90s, bar none. Norman Cook is a genius behind the turntables.

This is the most deserving of 3 stars I've given an album. Just your standard 50s country album.

Groovy as hell world music. Great but not much to say on it.

I groove with this sort of psychedelic pop pretty decently. I'd give 4.5 but unfortunately the mix on this album is kind of atrocious in the volume department, so 4 it is.

Some pretty damn good psych rock. They could've done the stereo a bit better, but it doesn't bother me that much.

The Beach Boys almost never missed during their peak years of the late 60s-early 70s.

What an album. Highly catchy, yet also with a good dash of Alanis' personality baked into the 13 tracks (14 including the hidden acapella track).

Jesus, what a live album. This is the type of record that just makes you wanna get up and dance just because the energy of the artist is just that infectious.

Just some cool ol' jazz from one of the best to do it.

Some of the best rock tunes of the 80s, plus it's got Tom Sawyer and Limelight, so it's an easy 5 for me.

It sounds alright, and her voice is nice, but overall, it's just a 3 for me, chief.

Ein Pionier der elektronischen Musik, der mehr als nur eine Neuheit ist. Ich kann ihm ganz einfach eine 5 geben.

One of the best damn albums of the 2000s, with a message that still resonates with our modern climate. Happy 4th of July, everyone.

Wow, what an album. The light instrumentation and Norah's amazing voice just have this aura to them, like you just walked into a club and they just happened to be performing. Very easy 5 to give.

Wasn't really digging it at the start, but once Pinball Wizard showed up, it really picked up in the latter half. I'd give 5, but that slow start bumps it down to a 4 for me.

Has some nice songs, but is a little bit forgettable. It's a 3.5 but I'll bump it up to 4.

If there is a genre of rock that the average person knows about, there's a decent chance that its DNA can be traced back one of the 11 tracks in this LP. Super influential, with legendary cover art and lyrical themes that went against the usual norms of the 60s. Very easy 5 to give.

Besides some more rocking tunes here and there, this is a more acoustic side to the White Stripes' catalogue that still has those Jack White tendencies to it. 4.5 rounded down to 4.

Simple tunes with thought-provoking lyrics, and a unique voice to help sing them. 4.5 rounded down to 4.

The album that made Metallica a household name also happens to be a kickass album when you go beyond the big songs of Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters. Easy 5.

Simply just a masterpiece of 90s hip hop.

I have a feeling this may be divisive, but I'm definitely in the group that digs this album. Industrial metal may not be for everyone, but I just love this stuff.

Pretty damn good Seattle alternative.

Seattle grunge was short-lived but it produced one killer album after another, and this is no exception.

Never listened to these guys until now, but this is definitely making me consider checking out the rest of their discography.

Good country with some energetic tracks and great harmonies. 4 stars.

It kind of picked up near the back half, but this album just fells boring to me. 3 stars.

The album that showed that the Beastie Boys are more than a one album wonder, with immaculate sampling technique that could never be replicated today given modern copyright law. Easiest 5 I can give.

While just being standard 50s rock fare, the importance of Buddy Holly to the history of popular music cannot be understated, so a 4 it will get.

While long, it's still some damn good 80s pop. 4 stars.

Easy 5. (i forgot to save my review :[ )

Just absolutely stellar production from Ye and Dilla. Easy 5.

British rap is certainly interesting, but this just ain't it for me. 2.5 rounded to 3.

After my only experience with the Shoegaze genre being Loveless, this is certainly different from that seminal album, what with there being more influence from Psychedelic artists. I really groove with this one, so I'll give 4.5 rounded up to 5.

Simple rock tunes but done very well by the musical trio. Easy 4.

Straight to the point, this is just some excellent disco produced by one of the greats. 4.5 upped to 5.

This album is weird as hell, but in a fascinating sort of way. I'll just go for 3 considering it's so divided amongst the 1001 Album crowd.

A thoughtful, yet ever so soulful album with heart. 4.5 down to 4.

Just a stellar collage of various genres including some of the best triphop this side of Massive Attack. Very easy 5.

A bloated, yet excellent end to the classic era of Pink Floyd. 5 stars.

The garage rock revival should've lasted longer, cause with acts like these guys, you can't go wrong. 4.5 down to 4.

Just an absolute stellar debut record from one of the best to do it in the hip hop game. Very easy 5.

Having only really listened to This Will Be Our Year, this album really blew me away with its psychedelic instrumentation and vocal harmonies. 4.5 bumped to 5.

I just love me some good Ol' British Punk, even if it's a bit simple on this record. 4.5 down to 4.

Just some amazing instrumentation, and Kiwanuka's stellar vocals make this a pretty damn good slice of modern Soul. 4.5 bumped up to 5.

Just an absolutely stellar piece of 70s rock. Very easy 5 to give.

I really just have no words to describe how magnificent and beautiful this album is, what with its' superb production and how awe-inspiring the vocals are. Was not expecting much, but this is a very, Very, VERY easy 5 for me to give.

It's got a bit too much feedback noise for my liking, but it's mostly just some alright 2000's rock with some heavy Stooges / Iggy Pop influence. 3.5 down to 3.

Just a nice and heartly slice of bossa nova. 4 stars flat.

Kate Bush always delivers with her musical talents, and this is no exception. 4.5 down to 4.

Never listened to much of George's music asides from the big Wham! hits, but wow, this album blew me away with its', just, everything contained into 40+ minutes. Hell of a 5 to give.

I can definitely see why some call this one of the best albums of the 90s, not just in alt rock, but in general. An hour never passed by so quick. Pretty easy 5 to give.

As a fan of They Might Be Giants, I can definitely groove with this album considering they're influenced by Mr. Costello. 4.5 down to 4.

While not really familiar with the grime genre, this is a pretty good rap album (better than A Grand Don't Come For Free, at least). Straight 4 stars for me.

At first, I was thinking of giving a solid 4, but then I heard those first hard Rs by a white band, so I have to bring it down to a solid 3. Otherwise, some solid tunes from the progenitors of blues punk.

One of the greatest albums of all time, simple as. 5.

Yes, it's a relic of the nu metal phenomenon of the late 90s to early 2000s, and yes, it is kind of dumb, but it's dumb in that "turn your brain off and just enjoy the music" sort of thought bubble. 4 (chocolate) stars flat.

This album is fine, but there's not much to say since its just some decent 80's alternative. 3.5 down to 3.

Just some kick ass P-Funk from George Clinton and company (plus having a Daft Punk remix certainly helps out the stars for me). 4.5 bumped to 5.

While of course influential to the industrial genre popularized by Nine Inch Nails, to be honest, the tracks at the beginning where it's basically just a pure noise record were really making me consider giving this a 1, but thankfully it picked up in the more digestible second half. I'd give 3.5 but that first half is such a pain on the ears that I'm going down to 2.5 bumped down to 2.

As an American, this was one of those albums where, at the start, I was thinking to myself, "Who?". But once I sat down to listen to it, I really dug this one, asides from the darker tracks, but those help with the overall theme of "Music for a film that doesn't exist", so I'll give them a pass. 4.5 down to 4.

Janet should've deserved better. One of the best damn albums of the 90s. Easy 5.

While not being the groups' finest record, this is still some pretty decent 90s rock. 3.5 bumped to 4.

Beach House always has this beautifully ethereal sound on their albums, and this is no exception, even if it a bit "generic 2010s indie" in retrospect. 4.5 down to 4.

Absolutely beautiful sound that predated the indie dream pop scene, even if the lyrics are a bit incomprehensible. Easy 5.

Wasn't hitting for me in the first couple tracks, but once Piece of My Heart came on, that sentiment changed into one of "Holy fuck, this is some good ass blues rock." Janis' vocals are one of a kind, and the instrumentation is superb, 'specially on the more bluesy tracks. 4.5 bumped up to 5, despite those slower tracks at the start.

Simply just some wonderful soul from one of the greats of the genre. 4.5 down to 4.

Not too much to say, asides from it being some pretty damn good Psychedelic Rock. Solid 4 for me.

The King may have had many sides to him, but this debut shows him in his best light, as a simple musician from Memphis. 4.5 down to 4.

One of the best damn blues records you'll ever hear. Very easy 5.

Never heard of these guys 'til getting this album, but I really dig the Garage Rock Revival sound, so this is super up my alley. 4.5 bumped down to 4 for having each guitar part being on different audio channels, though.

Just some stellar ol' blues from one of the greatest to play guitar. Very easy 5 for me.

Some pretty kickass pop rock from one of the queens of music. Solid 4 for me.

Despite more recent controversial comments, this album is still pretty damn good, and a definite step up for Arular. 4.5 down to 4.

Just some pretty jazzy pop from one of the Steely Dan dudes. Solid 4.

As someone who only knew Susan's House from the track list, this is some pretty damn stellar alternative rock. 4.5 bumped to 5.

Wu Tang Clan ain't nothin' to fuck with, and even when it's a solo album from one of the members, this sentiment still stands. Easy 5.

This is just so goddamn boring. I'd give it 3 for that reason alone, but considering the artist was actually found guilty of statutory rape a couple years back, it's going all the way down to 1. Fuck this guy.

I really dig this one a bit more than Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. 4.5 down to 4.

At first, I thought, "This group is familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it", but when Brass in Pocket started playing, I just Knew who these guys were since the track plays on oldies station sometimes. Didn't expect the rest of the album to kick as much ass as it did, though. Just some absolute stellar new wave, so it's getting 5.

Just an absolutely great selection of funk, ska, and rock tracks with a message in a couple of them. Easy 5 in my book.

I really dig this singer-songwriter album that just so happens to have a full band. Of course, most people know of Van Morrison from Brown Eyed Girl so hearing what else he made besides that track makes me appreciate that song more in retrospect. 4.5 bumped up to 5.

There are mostly good tracks in this behemoth of an album, but the length of this thing can make it a bit of a hard sell, cause Jesus Christ, it's nearly 3 GODDAMN HOURS LONG. Anyways, 3.5 bumped to 4.

Just am absolutely sobering album about what it feels to just go through the worst feelings that one can go through in their life. It makes me want to not be around anymore, but I know I have to keep on trying to live through it. Phenomenal 5.

From someone who's only listened to Pink Moon, it's very fascinating hearing his style of folk with more than just guitar and his vocals. Easy 5 min my eyes.

Absolutely haunting, but in a weird sort of comforting way. I never really got the hype over Lana, but now I understand why she's so beloved. Very easy 5. (P.S. I almost cried during Wild At Heart.)

Nothing much to say. Simply just a kickass live record, so it gets 4.5 bumped down to 4.

This album's reputation is not entirely unwarranted, because this is an absolute powerhouse in the Grunge genre, alongside the likes of Nevermind and Superunknown. Very easy 5 to give.

While not as legendary as other acts from the east coast hip hop scene, this album is still a good time from front to back. 4.5 bumped to 5.

Not really much to say on this, but it's some nice soul tracks that groove nicely. 3.5 bumped to 4.

Absolutely breathtaking folk music. Easiest 5 I can give.

Garage and proto punk just scratch this part of my brain in a good way, and this is certainly no exception. 4.5 bumped to 5.

Really meshed with this one 'cause I dig Rod Stewart's work. 4.5 down to 4.

One of those albums that you can feel yourself calming down and chilling to, even with its point of unique time signatures. Solid and easy 5 for me.

Despite her more controversial side, Courtney Love can still make a mean punk album. 4.5 bumped down to 4.

Hey, at least it's better than Metal Box. Other than that obvious claim, these are still some kickass tunes, regardless. I can definitely hear how it influenced a lot of artists that became huge. Solid 4 for me.

Just some pretty damn good psychedelia altogether. 4.5 bumped up to 5.

An eclectic yet pretty damn good selection of tracks, which while including Song 2, feels like sort of a predecessor to the first Gorillaz album more so than your typical Blur tracks. Solid 5 for me.

I am just a sucker for some good ol' blues, and this definitely gets that itch scratched. Very solid 5, would listen again.

Just some absolutely exceptional tunes, which just goes to show how much Bowie was on a roll with the writing during his Golden Years (ba dum tss). A very solid 5, maybe even a low 5.5 if that was possible.

The Lips at their creative peak with just some absolutely stellar psychedelic tunes. Solid 5 for me.

One of the most important releases of all time for the evolution of music. Well-deserved 5, even though there is the inclusion of "Bodies" on the track list.

Again, at least it's better than Metal Box, eh? 3.5 bumped down to 3.

Simply a masterpiece of jazz, and worth all the hype it rightfully gets. Very good 5 in my book.

Goddamn, Carlos Santana can play a mean solo. Very Easy 5 for me.

Mother of God, It's all toilet sounds! (Just kidding, this album goes really damn hard, but the grime bass can be a little bit much at times. 4.5 down to 4.)
