Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

Several bangers. High degree of nostalgic enjoyment, but a great example of a category I don't love.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Fine example of a category and era I'm not really interested in--a couple songs shred.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Good vibe. Lots of the tracks didn't quite hit

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

Not historically my favorite band but I dig it

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Punchy, interesting, easy to listen to--a familiar sound on the first listen, but distinct & engaging.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Absolutely shreds

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Raekwon

5/5

Bangers only

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

Solid, relaxing vibes. A great wind down after a tough day.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

3/5

Solid. Several tracks are a good imitation of late era Beatles

Pretenders

4/5

Great energy, few low points, surprising range

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

Very prog-y, in a good way

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

A college classic

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

3/5

Not what I wanted, better than I expected

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

3/5

I didn't even think this was that cool when I was in college (and childish and on drugs)

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Doesn't really do anything for me. Not terrible

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

Not my favorite Kinks album but still great.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

4/5

Makes me want a martini

The Band

5/5

An absolute classic

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Would recommend

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

Coldplay are basically a better version of U2

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Such a great vibe

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

Excellent

Slipknot

3/5

Too 90s, too thrashy, too screamy. Still kinda slaps

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

Solid all the way through with a bunch of highlights and a crescendo through the end

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

Green Day doing a high-concept political protest album feels like being lectured by a college freshman. Several tracks bang

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

First time listen. Thoroughly enjoyed

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

Not my favorite Prince album, and too long. Come at me

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

3/5

Solid listen, enjoyed but didn’t love

Tommy

The Who

4/5

Ambitious, mostly successful, enjoyable

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

3/5

Didn't do that much for me

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

1/5

Dour, medieval gallows vibe

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

3/5

Nightswimming is such a jam. I don't really like R.E.M.

Black Monk Time

The Monks

4/5

A great new music surprise. Odd in an avant garde way at many points, way ahead of its time

With The Beatles

Beatles

5/5

If we accept that all Beatles albums are 5s (they are), this would probably be a 5.1 on a scale to 5.9. Nonetheless, several great originals (All My Loving), and while it seems insane that the Beatles would release an album with 40% covers, the covers are very solid. Could listen to on loop

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

3/5

Was kind of excited to listen to it, put it on this morning very hungover and realized that I know exactly what it's going to be and I'm not in the mood for it

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

Enjoyed. The live element was interesting but made for bad distracting focus music

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

The pinnacle of new wave evolution

Wild Gift

3/5

A fun romp. You can hear the influence in many who followed

Odelay
