Pretty good. Nothing super exciting though

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

2/5

The guitar work was really good but I wasn't a big fan of the singing. It was pretty slow moving overall. Probably would never listen to album ever again but it was a nice learning experience. Kind of like a folky jazz. Definitely some jazz chords in there. I could imagine Jose Gonzalez singing all the songs and it being a lot better of an album.

The World is a Ghetto

War

4/5

Really fun album to listen to. Interesting that it came out in 1972 because it felt like Pink Floyd took some elements from this album whether it was consciously or unconsciously. Glad this one was recommended.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

1/5

Terrible. Made me like their one hit even less after putting myself through that synth pop horror.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Every CCR song is the same. Change my mind.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Pretty good album. Reminded me of Portishead. Had that dark alternative thing going on.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

Mediocre. Sloppy guitar work. No disrespect to Jack White. I'm sure it was on purpose but I'm not a fan of this album

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

5/5

Amazing album I never knew existed. Reminds me of Ty Segall or KGLW

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

3/5

Sounded like the epitome of college radio music. Music was good but lyrics were weird. Enjoyed more than disliked.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

5/5

Fun album. Dude was amazing.

Soul Mining

The The

5/5

Loved this album. Reminded me of Yeasayer. I'll listen to it again.

Sister

Sonic Youth

5/5

Good album. Interesting to hear all the elements people have copied over the years of this noise rock. I enjoyed it

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

Musicianship was great but I wasn't a fan of the repetitiveness. It was cool to hear where the Dr. Dre chronic samples came from

Dire Straits

5/5

Phenomenal. I actually got this one on vinyl from my dad but hadn't listened to it yet. Soooo gooood!

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

2/5

Not a huge fan of this style. This is about the time recordings started going digital and everything sounds like it was recorded in a black box. Musicianship is good but not big on the vocal style.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

4/5

Fun album. Reminded me of like an earlier Refused or The Bronx. Ahead of it's time. Did get redundant and repetitive though.

Ten

Pearl Jam

3/5

Not a huge fan of this album but Black is a great song. They usually have at least one great song per album

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

Fun album. I'm not big on mostly instrumental albums but this was great. Reminded me of MGMT style music.

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

TV On The Radio

4/5

One of my favorite bands but not my favorite album. Definitely a good album though. Underrated

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

5/5

Great album!

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

This was a better one of the albums. Enjoyed it.

Public Image: First Issue

1/5

Noise... Not a fan

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

One of the best albums ever made. Ahead of it's time.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

2/5

It was better than I expected but I'm not a fan of this band

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

3/5

It was pretty good for a dance album.

Sail Away

Randy Newman

3/5

Not bad. Gets bland at times but deep lyrics.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

5/5

Phenomenal!

The Blueprint

JAY Z

2/5

It got better but it's pretty bad. Sounded like he wanted to copy Eminem's Slim Shady LP. I get he's a great business man but mediocre at rap at best. The Kanye beats were legit.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

Good album, not their best but really good

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

Better than I expected.

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

Phenomenal!
