Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

5/5

Smooth and energetic all at once. The whole album is a groove from beginning to end and keeps your mind focused

Adele

4/5

Amazing, Adele at her best.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

5/5

Right here, right now: Killer beat, smooth through to the end. Skit at the end wasn't as annoying as first expected The Rockafeller Skank: Loved it until the slow down became painful. A little too long. In Heaven: Great beat, a fun listen Gangster Trippin: Love the ska influence, keeps you jamming through to the end. Build it up, tear it down: Not a huge fan of the sound of this, least favorite so far. Kalifornia: Was not expecting to like this as much as I did. Groovy Soul Surfing: Good song, the ghost in the middle pulled me out though. You're not from Brighton: Solid song, keeps me interested. Praise you: A jam, the buzzing vocal loop got a little annoying. Love Island: Another solid song. Acid 8000: Good album closer, kept me jamming to the end.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

Hard to ignore how many other rappers styles you hear from this one album since Wu-Tang brought them all up. One of the best

Was not expecting the second half to be mostly instrumental but I was pleasantly surprised.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

2/5

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

Caetano Veloso

4/5

My first foray into spanish music and it is a hit. Song after song to make you feel like you lost your lover to another man, and the songs to make you feel like you killed that man.

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

Solid all the way through. Wish there was more diversity in the songs as you don't get much shakeups in any second halfs.

Great album, however every duel song on the album was one of my least favorites first with a banger follow up.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

Amazing album, but the worms through me completely out at the end. Creepy Crawly type music

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

4/5

Welcome to the Pleasuredome the song rocks, great use of 12 minutes

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

1 of 1. Alanis Morissette gives her all the whole album. Not a single skip.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

Every song was way too long for me. Didn’t need half of the songs to be over 15 minutes

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

5/5

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

Definetly not my type of music.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

Smooth, groovy, effortless. Good to throw on when you need to feel important

Brothers

The Black Keys

2/5

Halfway through the album and I find myself jumping through the songs. too many songs sounds almost exactly the same. Jeremy Renner loved this album I bet

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Solid with only a few hickups

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Too many unfunny skits or gross out joke songs but every song that isnt one of those kills it

War

3/5

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

2/5

While i liked a few songs, Rod Stewart's voice is such a big negative i find it hard to enjoy the album as a whole

A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

4/5

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

1/5

Didn't want to even finish this album, Tainted Love carries this band, every other song i heard was boring, confusing, or seemed to be intentionally annoying.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

Perfect to listen to, feels like wind in my hair with the top down.

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Solid album, one or two times i found myself bored of the energy and instrumental but every other song kept me interested.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

Solid album but fell off at the end for me.

Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

1/5

My thoughts going into Navvy "Dude this isn't even that bad theres no way this is one of the lowest rated albums". But then, the singer kicked in with one of the most off-beat unenjoyable voices I have ever heard. The instrumental feels competent except for one or two parts per song I would change/remove, but the singer's voice and the lyrics are so offsetting, I can't find myself to come back to this album again. I can understand wanting to do something different but I feel like removing the enjoyability of the most prominent part of your song wouldn't be my first choice. Thriller! is a highlight for me just for being able to creep me out with just the music.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Fragile

Yes

4/5

Really solid album, some songs did not catch me but most of them are fun to listen to.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

4/5

You can definitely feel the fact that some of the members met during a beatles cover band. Solid album that feels uplifting, worth a listen

The Last Broadcast

Doves

3/5

Really was enjoying the first half of the album but then find myself skipping through the songs, bored. Each song feels like it could be cut by at least a minute with little to no loss. It is a shame as a lot of the songs use unique sounds that tickle my brain.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

I will agree with a lot of people on these reviews and say that the music is good, the singing is good, however when its 15 songs that sound almost the same they start to get tiring.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

Not a good start but by the 3rd song you find yourself in a great album to chill to.

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

3/5

Found the singer's voice hard to enjoy for the first half but they came swinging in the second half. The Funny Bird is one of my favorites.

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

3/5

Very odd but if you're willing to look outside conventional music you can pick a few diamonds. Love Underground

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

Really good but it's hard to ignore how much every song feels the same but at least they're all good

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

Really good album, occasionally a little too whiny but most songs are great

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

5/5

Amazing album. Throw it on and let 45 minutes melt on by. Also realized halfway through this was Chef from South Park and lost it.

Elvis Presley

4/5

Great album, loses me towards the end when the high energy elvis disappears for a bit but really good anyways

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

5/5

One of the first STRONG 5s ive gotten, keeps your attention and delivers every time. Worth a listen or two if not more

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

4/5

Really really good album, not something ill listen to a song or two of but would definetly run through again.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

5/5

Love that old school hip hop sound, gets you moving and the lyricism is creative

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Think reggae music and here it is, if you like the feeling then this is a 5 but if you don't these are all going to blend into a mess. But wow for me this is a great album

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Great album, I love the bigger focus on rock music from R.E.M. in this album

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin

5/5

Love this album, gives off a chill nighclub vibe and a few songs in the album are out of another world.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

Really wasn't a fan of this kind of singing with this kind of instrumental. Feels like two separate musical ideas.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

5/5

Amazing music,great lyrics. If Bob Dylan was missing either of these his awful way of singing would ruin the album. Instead you get a great album worth every second

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

4/5

Awesome album, love the combination of genres here. Listened to the deluxe edition and speaking in tongues is a great add on.

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

3/5

Kept my listening to only the original album and honestly, while I can hear portions of pink floyd this whole album just feels like its missing something. Barrett's voice is hit or miss every song but Golden Hair and Dark Globe are standouts.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Really good album, once or twice I was just unable to get into the vocals but overall amazing

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Amazing sound, constantly interesting. Worthy of being a legendary album

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

If you told me the 26th album of an artist would be a 5/5 no miss banger album I would tell you you're crazy. David Bowie puts an amazing performance for his final album, and the fact that he passed so shortly after the release makes me feel like this was his soul, given to the people. MUST listen

The Next Day

David Bowie

5/5

Love every song but Heat to me was not how i wanted the album to end

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

5/5

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

5/5

Albums like this make me realize I'm nothing but a honky tonk whitie. Amazing album, wish country kept some of this energy.
