The Sensational Alex Harvey Band • 1/5
The period where musicians started talking about sex openly is just nauseating. An entire decade of manchildren caterwauling about how much they love pussy. Really embarrassing.

Fatboy Slim
5/5
All the best parts of 90s electronic rolled into one big fat burrito. I don't know why I hadn't listened to this one sooner, it's a clear inspiration for Hideki Naganuma who's one of my faves. 4.5*
The Police
3/5
Pretty good album with some clunker songs, I don't really feel much about it. Obviously "Every Breath You Take" is the highlight here but it just doesn't do much for me.
AC/DC
2/5
Album for lame dads and truck commercials
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
5/5
This one is much, MUCH more my speed. I don't even know what to write, this album just makes me feel good. 5*
Garbage
5/5
Well it's no surprise that Garbage is great, but going back to their debut album really makes me see how innovative they really were. So much of the early and mid 00s rock was taking inspiration from what Garbage was doing here. It's otherworldly. The ambient atmosphere of each song, the killer drum line, and if course Shirley Manson's incredibly unique vocal style. Everything just sounds awesome and deliberate and exactly how it should.
The Cure
5/5
Atmospheric and cool, don't know why I've never heard any of The Cure's music before now. 4.75*

Really cool synth album, given this came out in 1981 I'm willing to guess it's pretty foundational to what has become an iconic soundscape of the 80s.

One of the worst albums on the entire list. Nick Cave, The Divine Comedy, Tom Waits, all in collaboration with a lounge-singer reject? It's like someone had a premonition in 2005 and put this album in to bother me, personally. Negative infinity stars.

I understand the historical significance of Afrika Bambaataa, but a hip. hop. a hip hip hop. a hibby to the hop and ya just don't stop. My name is Lance Taylor and I'm here to say that it's time to rap in an old school way! 🤓
And I never stop being embarrassed.

Secular Christmas songs produced well. It is a wall of sound though perhaps not fury produced by an idiot, signifying nothing. Surely a beloved classic of white baby boomers settling down for their seventh child's first Christmas, in their third house which they bought for $2000 at age 24. Merry Christmas!

A lot of these other reviews stink, like unwashed ass. What kind of moron thinks every single album on the list has to be equal to Abbey Road or DSOTM (WYWH is superior anyway)? You think all 1090 albums are going to be the exact same flawless masterpiece? This album is a great listen with fun if simple production. Maybe some of yall should take a step out of your dad's garage.

Okay Tom Waits, maybe there's something to your music after all. But I still despise your vocal performance. You sound like a kid who signed up for Choir to get an easy A and who scoffs at the mere idea of singing with effort.

Some of the other reviews, man. Yall sound like clowns. Anyone who could enjoy the Cha Cha Cha song is just an idiot entertained by novelty. You would clap your hands and gape in wide-mouthed astonishment if I jingled some keys in your face, provided I told you the keys were all made by rural Estonians.

I didn't like this album, in fact I found it rather dumb with terrible lyricism, but I just wanna address the other reviews I read here. What exactly is with GenX and hating any male vocalist who can sing higher than a Low C and doesn't sound like Eddie Vedder? You sound like the worst kind of 60-year-old manchild who still acts like they're on the playground. Castratti? Got their balls stuck in a car door? I'm sure those lines would've KILLED on the playground in 1977. 2 stars to spite the spiteful.
Dexys Midnight Runners

Kevin Rowland's vocal style was iconic, oft-imitated nowadays. But the instrumentation is the star of the show for me, really cool, falls somewhere between ska and jazz I guess? I'm no music critic, I've only listened to a thousand albums by now. Maybe I could be.
