Some songs were discordant and could do with tightening up. The first song was not a great opening to the album and made me want to turn it off immediately and shove balls of broccoli in my ears. Some songs such as the second were banging and overall the album was tasty enough to garner a 3. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Violator
Depeche Mode
It's not necessarily a bad album but it is just very mild. There's nothing unique or transformational about it. The repetitive nature is prevalent throughout and even the beat is reproduced. This may be useful background music but too much of it may drive you slightly insane

The Low End Theory
A Tribe Called Quest
Smooth and perfect for what I needed right now. Flow. But more or less the same sort of rhythm throughout the album. Could've changed it up a bit. More noticeable at the start. Middle changes up a bit but honestly just slows the pace down and that it. Still soft fire tho

Nothing particularly of note. Not an album I'd put on when given the opportunity to select one myself but it was alright. Nothing terrible; nothing especially interesting

Madman Across The Water
Elton John
Calming and not headache inducing, perfect for my mood. Got a bit repetitive in tone towards the end and found myself unable to fully pay attention to the music

Same vibe the whole way through. Relaxing but lacks variety/that good spice

First got me into metal despite it being a starkly different genre- at least through the contemporary metal perception. Solid and eternal.

She's So Unusual
Cyndi Lauper
Quite the same the whole way through. One of these songs is a classic and the rest are simply repeating what worked. But why did it work? Because music had to be feel-good, preppy. It had to have a catchy chorus that was easy enough to dance to. That's all it is; nothing potent, nothing special, or particularly bitchin' enough for this girl to have fun (although she desperately does want to, so certain lyrics are at least relatable).

Could not force myself to get through it all. Absolutely not it. Some people may like it and I'm glad those people are not in my vicinity. You do you, though💲

A lot of the same type of music but surprisingly didn't get boring. Lovely background music, great to vibe to.

Exodus
Bob Marley & The Wailers
Not my usual thing. Lyrical lucidity, howbeit mostly repetitive instrumental/rhythm. Three little birds is the best song on the album and even that is coloured by my endless exposure to it, hence it's a classic. Not to say that it doesn't deserve to be, and the message is sweet, though nothing extraordinarily profound.

Hard to choose between 2 or 3. I think subjectively it's a 2 but I gotta be nice sometimes I guess

Aladdin Sane
David Bowie
Not my thing in all honesty but it has a lot of interesting components that doesn't make it as boring as it could have been. A few well appreciated tone shifts. His voice isn't exactly what I go for, but it fits the music. Therefore: 3 golden stars.

Take Me Apart
Kelela
Only thing this is good for is making you horny. Repetitive. Would listen to this solely for background sex music. Beautiful vocals though. Would just appreciate more meaningful lyrics

Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
Possibly influenced by just waking up and not being in a music mood, but this is so boring omg. It's just so uuuuuugggghhhhh. Repetitive and completely uninteresting. Monkey man was the only acceptable song

Some of these songs are sort of just a poem rather than a song, or at least it definitely pushes the limits of the definition of a song. Don, Aman reminds me of a performance I watched in a lecture about spoken word poetry. It's definitely interesting in content, but I'm not sure how I feel about it from listening once. It seems like the type of album to grow on you. Some songs have hardly no to no vocals in them and focuses solely on instrumental. Whilst you may not rock out to them, they're definitely a soundtrack to self-reflection and indulgence in meditative, creative spaces. Upon listening to it again, I love it endlessly

Songs From The Big Chair
Tears For Fears
Possibly due to listening to this album on a long car ride home and on my 20th birthday, with my life no longer ahead of me and the reaper banging on my door, but it was good. Chilled and nothing special, but it didn't have to be special. Anyway. 3 stars. Cool

Not my thing but I appreciate the vocals and the instrumentals. Alabama was the best of the album. It's all a bit too country/Christian for my taste, but still a pretty good listen

Repetitive lyrics and they're not even particularly meaningful. I don't understand why the Beatles were so big...
