What a fantastic electronic album from ‘95. This has tracks that will be immediately going on some special playlists. 10/10 perfect for listening as an album, perfect blends between tracks for DJing into a set. Love it!

I did not care for this one. Based on the global reviews, I am an outlier but I guess I am just not a fan of the Americana folk style, though the soulful bits were nice.

A little slow, as a lot of The Beach Boys style can be. I appreciate it for the cultural impact it had but it is not my kind of music.

Very nice jazzy rock album

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

3/5

The first song was terrible but the album really blossomed after that. Decent punk album

OK Computer

Radiohead

3/5

As beloved as they are by the public, I cannot get into Radiohead without really needing to be in the right mood. This album has some definite highlights but it’s nothing I will be playing on repeat.

Love Air and this album was full of wonderful music.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

I can definitely understand the cultural impact of this album, and think I may have enjoyed it more as an angsty teenager. Some of the songs found me waiting for the album to be over, but others like Piggy and The Becoming were really interesting and I enjoyed them quite a bit. Of course, Closer, being the single from the album, was one that I already knew and enjoyed.

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

Surprisingly dull. I expected more from the Grateful Dead, tbh!

3.5 stars, I started appreciating it more in the second half of the album.
