Rhythm Nation 1814
Janet Jackson
Most tracks are ruined by the obnoxious, overbearing drums. Black Cat (easily the best song on the album) is the only up-tempo track that doesn’t suffer from this.
The songs are too long without really going anywhere. I like long songs, but not when they are just repeating themselves. The album is too long, as a consequence.

Californication
Red Hot Chili Peppers
I'm not a huge RHCP fan, but this is my favourite of their albums.
Like most albums since the advent of CDs, it is too long. The quality clearly drops off over the last few tracks, but there are enough good ones in the first half to make this a great album.

A fairly uninspiring collection of post-punk sameyness. Not terrible, but goes on for too long.

An interesting traditional album. Signs of increasing songwriting maturity while still certainly being "early Beatles".

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan
I've never understood the appeal of Bob Dylan. This is not a terrible album - there are a few songs I quite enjoy - but it seems like Dylan is playing a character, an impression of a country yokel. It just doesn't feel genuine.

Licensed To Ill
Beastie Boys
45 minutes of three guys yelling at me over a drum machine, is not really my thing. Some of the tracks that have actually music on them are not bad, though.
Fight For Your Right is a classic, but I can't listen to No Sleep Till Brooklyn without thinking of Morris Minor and the Majors.

Probably not fair for me to judge, as jazz is a genre that leaves me cold.
This is pleasant enough to have on in the background, but I couldn't imagine sitting down and listening to it.
