Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Strong opener. Noodly guitar work. I didn't realize how many classics are on this album. Why did middle school use stairway to heaven as a slow dance song?

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

3/5

Felt like three different albums. I could picture Tom giving out quests as the head of a circus.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

Eclectic album, for sure. All over the place genre wise. Had pop, jazz, spoken word, drum and bass, etc. Great melodies. Not sure if it will be a regular returner but worth a listen through for sure.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

I own this one on vinyl! Great to listen through, but has some stand out tracks. Enjoyable, but not my favorite by them. Does not seem to push a lot of boundaries.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

2/5

While I can appreciate their influence on music as a whole and how different they were when they came out, it still did not overshadow how grating I find Lou Reed's voice. The music other than the vocals was enjoyable. I am well acquainted with vocals that are outside of the traditionally appreciated track, but Lou just doesn't do it for me.

Garbage

2/5

Decent album, but not super adventurous. Not overly impressed. She has a really cool voice, but the guitar and lyrical content didn't blow me away. It could be the life experiences are different than mine. Solid playthrough and OK for background music. Non-offensive, but I think I remember her being an alternative darling.

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

MC Solaar

3/5

Great beats and song structure, but I didn't get much from lyrics or vocals.

Phrenology

The Roots

5/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

Some solid songs, but overall kinda meh for me

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

3/5

Solid album. Great nostalgia bomb. Songs are competent and well done, if a bit simple in their construction. Hard to separate out the nostalgia for the talent, although teenage me loved this album. Adult me enjoyed it, but there is a reason I dont return to this album like I do a lot of other bands from that era.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

Dude has a decent voice but the album was so impossibly boring to listen to.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

2/5

"Her ass is a spaceship that I want to ride" Not serious, but a fun album that mixes R&B and pop punk. Not super blown away, and I don't think I would return to it, but it was OK for the listen.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Very competent if boring yacht rock album.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

Epic album with a hell of a crooner.

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

5/5

I thought the album had ended and Dolly came on when Coat of Many Colors played. Excellent album. Beautiful voice. Great guitar, steel guitar, and banjo on the album.

Cypress Hill

5/5

Perfect transition from 80s rap to 90s. Full of classics. Excellent album

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

Solid 80s early Indy/protoemo

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

Some excellent singles and a few hidden gems, but ultimately fairly straightforward. Great singing, but the musicianship was over produced

Different Class

Pulp

3/5
