Sonically strong, my opinion may improve with more listens

Kendrick Lamar

Sufjan Stevens
4/5
Really cool concept album. Mix of indie rock with impressive orchestral arrangements throughout. Also has the longest song titles of any album I’ve ever seen.
The Who
3/5
Will always like The Who because they played the Super Bowl halftime the year the Saints won. Unfortunately this album doesn't have Pinball Wizard.
Parliament
5/5
Incredible funk album from start to finish. Can’t believe I hadn’t heard it before this.
Depeche Mode

Starts off strong but becomes a bit more hit and miss afterward.

5/5
It’s Jimi Hendrix. ‘Nuff said.

Jimmy Smith
3/5
I enjoyed my time at the shack. 3.5 stars
Pink Floyd
4/5
This is admittedly the first time I’ve listened to this album, and it is quite a behemoth. This one needs to sit with me for a bit. But it’s easily *at least* 4.5 stars because, despite its length, it’s a really tight album that flows together nicely for a great listening experience.
Ms. Dynamite
2/5

Hugh Masekela
4/5
Great jazz album
Jane's Addiction
4/5
honestly was a great workout album
Johnny Cash
5/5
I’ve generally been indifferent to the live albums on this list as even if the music is good I fail to see why I’d want to listen to a concert over the studio versions. But hearing the way Johnny banters and jokes with the audience and how the audience reacts to him really adds something to this. Like I feel like I’m transported to this performance in a way. Plus, it’s Johnny Cash music. Easy 5
Weather Report
3/5
Enjoyable. 3.5 stars
Louis Prima
4/5
