Bryter Layter
Nick Drake
First time hearing a Nick Drake album, I only knew him from the Garden State soundtrack before. I always got a cozy chill out vibe from the song of his I’d heard before and this album is a lot more of the same feeling although musically there is more to a lot of the songs.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
David Bowie
So good. I need to listen through full Bowie discography, it is usually ziggy stardust or hunky dory but I need to hear the rest of ‘em too.

Automatic For The People
R.E.M.
Not bad. It feels a lot more of it’s time then I thought it would going into it, very 90’s radio rock, but I think the production helped push it that direction as much as the actual music. But still not bad, I enjoy Michael Stipe’s distinctive voice.

One Nation Under A Groove
Funkadelic
It is what I’d expect from the name of the band and the album title. Funky, groovy, some charmingly weird lyrics occasionally. It was a lot like the Parliament Funkadelic album Mothership Connection for me, enjoyable but didn’t completely hook me into the sound.

Synchronicity
The Police
There are lots of great songs on here but the album as a whole always falls off for me during the second half in the three or four times I’ve listened to it.

Amnesiac
Radiohead
That is was pretty fantastic, I hadn’t heard Radiohead’s earlier music outside of ‘Creep’ on the radio but it is easy to see how OK Computer and Kid A came from the same band that made this album.

Transformer
Lou Reed
Exceptional album. I enjoyed this thoroughly. I didn’t realize Lou Reed had so many recognizable songs from his solo career, I thought most would be tied to Velvet Underground music. But yeah, this feels like an album I will listen to repeatedly.

California
American Music Club
This wasn’t boring, but it was listenable in a more interesting way rather than in an enjoyable way? I think it just wasn’t for me is all.

The Atomic Mr Basie
Count Basie & His Orchestra
This was something different for me, I’ve never really heard much of this type of music outside of old movies. It was great, not something I’d sit down and listen to much, but it is terrific background music that kind of transports me back to the 1950’s seen in movies.

Channel Orange
Frank Ocean
I’ve listened to this album on and off since around the time it was released, although not as often the past few years. It is still excellent, its sound hasn’t aged poorly.

Nothing on this album felt overly radio friendly, none of the songs felt like filler either. Not bad.

Another Green World
Brian Eno
I loved the space like ambient sounds throughout and the songs with vocals were pretty great, except one near the middle seems to be out of place on the album. Overall still a great listen though.

Vento De Maio
Elis Regina
I’ve never heard to much non English language music before but this was not bad, it had a somewhat modernish pop or maybe slightly progressive feel to it for an album that was released in 1978.

Metallica
Metallica
I mean, what’s there really to say? One of the most popular albums ever, if you listen to any alternative rock radio station for a day you will likely hear half the songs on this album. I’m not a huge Metallica fan and I personally prefer their earlier thrash metal albums but this is still fantastic.

Born In The U.S.A.

I must be getting old because I really enjoyed this. 10 or 15 years ago I’m pretty sure I would have hated it.

If this album was an hour shorter I might like it. I appreciate it for what it is though and can see how it is considered a great album in its genre.

I liked this quite a bit, it is some pretty chill music. I actually recognize a song or two from here, I think it was on an episode of Frasier.

I didn’t care for the females voice, it was kind of nearly headache inducing on most tracks she was on. The songs the guy was singing on were more listenable and the musicianship was pretty good throughout I thought.

This was interesting, kind of old school beats but with a more 90’s rap feel to it at the same time, not what I was expecting.
