Melodrama

Lorde

5/5

This and pure heroine are automatic 5’s. Lorde doesn’t not get enough credit for literally created the bedroom pop sound

White Light

Gene Clark

5/5

+1 for Album cover I wouldn’t call this country. I really love this vibe. Acoustic 70’s never disappoints.

I would sample this but wouldn’t listen. Love the vibes but ironically not vibing this

It’s 5 material but I give out 5’s lightly so it’s a 4

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Right off the bat I’m adding a star to my rating just because it’s awesome. Not completely my style and doesn’t really evolve but I can see it. I’d probably add a song to a playlist but not listening to the album again

Horses

Patti Smith

2/5

Just the female bob dylan? Music is alright but could not listen to the singing

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Not for me. Don’t hate the vocals though and see the influence they brought to this genre. no hate if you like it.

Smash

The Offspring

1/5

This is Tony Hawk Music, which I would like when playing the game but wouldn’t listen outside playing. The only redeeming quality is the fact that I could see it used in the sync world easily. The thing for me is the album cover is so trash that I knew what to expect before listening. The melodies are so forgettable and pretty much all the same in every song. To the credit of the vocalist, I’m not sure what else you could sing over these chord progressions.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

4/5

Great listen. I can see influences of Radiohead and the Beatles in this. Personally, I’m bigger fan of the soft acoustic stuff on this one. The riffs are cool but feel like Elliot’s voice shines on the softer stuff. I feel like I’d listen to this album again if I was older when released but for now I’ll probably add a song to a playlist.

Very

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Honestly this wasn’t a bad listen. It was great background music. Very tears for fears in my opinion but very unique at the same time. I’m only giving a 3 because I can’t give decimal point scores.

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

This was an experience. I enjoyed not knowing where the songs were going to go next. When I think 80’s I think this. Would give a 5 but it got really weird for me a times but still very enjoyable

Feast of Wire

Calexico

3/5

This was a very interesting listen. I enjoyed it. And I liked the folky jazzy stuff but wasn’t vibing the latin vibes. Also I want to give it a 4 but I need to take a star off because of the album cover. If I saw this for the first time I would have never listened which is a shame

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Nothing else to say. Love this album

Scott 4

Scott Walker

3/5

Anything that sounds like this I’m gonna kind of enjoy because it all sounds like music that can be sampled. But other than that I didn’t enjoy this that much. I thought the vibes were kinda cool and the album cover was dope but the music never took me somewhere emotionally and the vocals never had anything that made me remember them.

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

3/5

This just isn’t my vibe. I respect it tho and like elements of it but overall I can’t give more than a 3

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

this was overall a great album. Songs like “So Real” really set the album apart. Very interesting to see how this really influenced people like Tom Yorke. I’ve heard about Jeff Buckley but never gave a listen. Extremely underrated

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

5/5

Brian Eno is a legend. I can see his influence on the talking heads specifically in this album. The album was a journey for sure but the ambient soft songs were my favorite on this.

Ten

Pearl Jam

2/5

Alright so I’m not a Pearl Jam fan at all. Everything feels forced. This album just isn’t my cup of tea. I gave 2 stars because I’m okay if someone likes it. The musicianship is good enough for 2 stars. If the melodies and singing was better maybe I would bring it up a star.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

3/5

Interesting listen. Could see this being influences to Odd Future I really want to give it a 4 but unfortunately I won’t listen again and have to keep it at a 3

Dust

Screaming Trees

2/5

Just nothing that felt worth listening to. I can see how it may be influential but nothing interesting enough.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

For me it’s not bad but at this point in time it’s not new to me. While I can respect that they were around the same timeframe I still think the Beatles and even The Beach Boys did it way better. I’m giving a 3 out of respect

Melodrama

Lorde

5/5

This and pure heroine are automatic 5’s. Lorde doesn’t not get enough credit for literally created the bedroom pop sound

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

4/5

This is crazy. I couldn’t listen again but they deserve their credit.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

2/5

Not for me. I know it’s in the top 100 but just don’t like it.

White Light

Gene Clark

5/5

+1 for Album cover I wouldn’t call this country. I really love this vibe. Acoustic 70’s never disappoints.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

Really like tones and maybe I’d consider it on a roadtrip. I’m dating 3.6 because it doesn’t feel 3 or 4 worthy

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

4/5

Classic R&B. Don’t really like her voice but can’t deny it

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

it’s Good, but not like exception but also I understand it more being from Jersey.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

2/5

I mean it’s good when it comes to talent but I don’t like the music. I’m giving two stars out of respect

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

A classic. Gotta give them their credit. Vocally top notch and songwriting on this is great. Not my first go to sound wise but some songs I can see myself going back to

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

2/5

This album is looong but it was also like 25 years ago so I get it. Anyways I just don’t like it. The talent is there and songwriter to an extent is really good but just not something I like and will ever probably like.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

3/5

Highly Evolved

The Vines

3/5

This was okay. It’s just real basic and nothing really intrigued me

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor

Lupe Fiasco

3/5

Sister

Sonic Youth

3/5

I compliment the experimental side of this but also think it’s ehh for this current timeframe. Which I’m sure at the time it was very new sounding

Suicide

4/5

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

1/5

Not for me

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

5/5

All the right vibes

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

2/5

I would sample this but wouldn’t listen. Love the vibes but ironically not vibing this

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

1/5

This starts out so promising with the beginning of frustration but then the music comes in and sounds like that friend we all have that makes music but isn’t too great but people like them so it kinda gets popular. Tainted Love is the only good song and can’t even really give them credit for that.

Justified

Justin Timberlake

4/5

It’s 5 material but I give out 5’s lightly so it’s a 4

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Freebird gives this record 3 stars right off the bat. Classic rock isn’t my thing but I have no choice but to give it a 5. The album name alone is worth an individual star

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5
