Not so terrible, but really not special. Even though he predates James Taylor it felt like wannabe James Taylor?

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Forgot how moody this album is. I still dig it but need time between listens.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

Some hits I remember and still enjoy. Pseudo-experimental sound but also feels dated and sonically trendy for 2000. Some beautiful poetry mixed in between some cheesy lyrics.

There's some music under the dissonance, and some fun moments that could hype me up, but probably not gonna be a repeat listen.

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus

Spirit

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

1/5

He gets a 2 for his talent, and a -33 for his misogyny, violence, and use of the R word. I forgot that I like him a lot UNTIL I listen to all of his lyrics. 🥴😤
