American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

Wish was better

Hounds Of Love

Sooo so good. One of my top 10s.

Good

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Niceee

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

This recording was an amazing listen, I found myself not caring when the first song played over again, and wound up giving it 3 full listens yesterday. It's intimate & authentic.

Berlin

Lou Reed

2/5

Sigh. I had high hopes, I like Lou Reed, I think. I thought. Currently bored though. I enjoyed Berlin, and Caroline Says II.

Dust

Screaming Trees

3/5

Fun but too much rock

Ramones

3/5

Good, once again, found myself a little bored, but maybe I wasn’t in the mood!

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

1/5

I thought this album was bland and unenjoyable

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

Fun beach listen! Enjoyed it in the kitchen with dad. A bit boring… Good, but I was waiting for something new and exciting. There were some good tracks! I liked the cover of Across the Universe. Then felt a little bad that my favorite song on the album wasn’t even his…

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

3/5

Slept for 16 of 24 hours yesterday, this was a good lullaby, I only remember the first song

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

I very much so enjoyed this album! This was a very nice study listen.

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

This one was must not my thing. Weird concept and weird execution. But I'm not one for theatrics.

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

2/5

Nice to study to, got into a groove, but didn't like it. Just not my thing. And not done in a way that would be a taste breaker.

Paul Simon

5/5

I like this one a lot! It's a classic. Good to have on speakers, I don't get bored, it's all around an enjoyable album. Some highlights include the demo for Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard, and Run that Body Down.

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

I think this was my least favorite Bowie album we've been thrown yet, it was fine, but it didn't do anything for me. I liked the last song, Wild is the Wind.

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

2/5

Feeling a bit like a negative nancy. Just boring. Could be the headache and the studying and the midterms, but this wasn't what I needed, and I'm not sure it will ever be what I need.

Among The Living

Anthrax

3/5

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

4/5

I always fold in the face of duets and country rock... secret (not so secret) weakness.

Dire Straits

3/5

Doesn't do it for me.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

4/5

Listened with Dad! This album is one I love, but have a hard time reconciling the person with the music. I love her voice, the simple and melancholic tone etc. Would be a 5. Docking her for her personality and actions.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Just not my jam. I'm a worse person because of this opinion.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Oh yes... This is an album I enjoy. Particularly loved the 7 O'Clock News/Silent Night.

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

Wouldn't listen in my free time.

Sheet Music

10cc

3/5

Honestly liked some parts a lot, really didn't enjoy others though.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

3/5

Sigh. Is it bad that I think that the Talking Heads albums are too long? Anyways, long.

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

5/5

This is so my thing and I liked it a lot!

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

This is long and I like the trumpets but grrrr...

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

I think Rock is just not my genre. This was fine.

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

This was fun -- I lost track while listening to it and tuned in like 2 hours later still listening to it.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

4/5

I like this a bunch.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

A classic, some really good tracks in here, could repeat and not get bored for a long while.

Rufus Wainwright

4/5

Surprised to like it, but that was at 2am so I may be misguided and delusional…

2/5

Meh

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

This was fun, definitely enjoyable, living room record energy.

Public Image: First Issue

Public Image Ltd.

3/5

Surprised to see it so hated-- I didn't mind it, I liked it more than most of the rock that comes through. And the song for me was an added touch.

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

2/5

Bored and kinda annoyed at this one.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

4/5

Definitely liked the first two minutes of the first song on the album. We'll see how it goes. I'm not sure I like this guy's voice. I think I do like it, and substantially more than I usually like these albums, so I'd give it a 4 and stand by it.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

5/5

This is awesome, would listen on my own time. Not one of the greats, but I'd give it the 5 on honor of being repeatable, enjoyable, and my thing.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

Rated this a 5 in the early days, but its not that.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

3/5

This is usually my thing, but I didn't love THIS thing. Thus 3.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

I like this in the end, it's on the better end of the rock that I consistently rate 2 and 3, so I'll give it a 4.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

2/5

I get that it's a classic, I hear the talent, I enjoy the listen, but I can't get past the lyrics, too much misogyny.

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

3/5

Didn't love, but liked.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Big fan, yay!

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

Mylo

4/5

I thought this was quite fun. Good to write thesis to.

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

5/5

This album was very good. I liked it more than I expected..

All Mod Cons

The Jam

3/5

Just fine, liked one song but the rest were just fine.

Mask

3/5

I will say I quite liked Mask (the song). I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the album seeing as I haven’t previously loved their stuff. Definitely a good album though, 3/5. Not a fan of Fish Cakes — 1. David Jay 2. Peter Murphy etc…

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Dwight Yoakam

3/5

Not sure I needed to listen to this before I died, but I did like it.

Franz Ferdinand

5/5

This was good and enjoyable! It is very rare for me to find something that is good and enjoyable on this album generator. Many times, things are good and I do not enjoy them. Or they are not good and I do not enjoy them.
