- [ ] Album: Endtroducing….. Artist: DJ Shadow Year: 1996 Genre: Instrumental Hip-Hop, Trap Hop, Lo-Fi Hip-Hop Number on list: 827 Rating: ⭐️⭐️ While some songs are relaxing to listen to, I don’t know how you can curate a 16 song long album full of songs that sound exactly the same as the last.

Album: Parklife Artist: Blur Year: 1994 Genre: BritPop Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good britpop album. First half of the album was super fun and the second half was pretty dull and I got bored. Fave song: Parklife Would I listen again? Possibly

Album: Autobahn Artist: Kraftwerk Year: 1974 Genre: Electronic Rating: ⭐️Not gonna lie when I played the first song and saw that it was 22 minutes long I was like omg. The album was ok. It felt like one 45 minute song as there wasn’t really any breaks to tell the listener that this is a new song. The mixture of random noises did nothing good for my ears, it was really confusing. A lot of the songs I thought David Bowie as Jareth in Labyrinth was going to appear at an point, gave me the creeps 😂 Favourite song: Autobahn - while it was disgustingly long, it was the only song with an actual beat to it. Would I listen again? No

Album: Bone Machine Artist: Tom Waits Year: 1992 Genre: Experimental Rock Rating: ⭐️⭐️ His voice is so interesting. I didn’t like this album as much as Rain Dogs. Some of the songs were good but not amazing Favourite song: Whistle Down The Wind Would I listen again? Unsure

Album: Arise Artist: Sepultara Year: 1991 Genre: Heavy Metal Rating: ⭐️ Didn’t like it one bit. Couldn’t understand what they were saying and the drums were too overbearing. Fave song: Subtraction I guess. Didn’t like any of them? Would I listen again? No.
