Strangeways, Here We Come
The Smiths
I thought "Unhappy Birthday" was a fun song, something that I just wasn't expecting. I liked all of the song titles, they felt unique. "Death's Elbow" felt like a fun cowboy jaunt, which felt oddly fitting since I'm playing Red Dead Redemption 2 right now.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg
Jerry Lee Lewis
I knew before listening that Jerry Lee Lewis is known for boogie woogie, but it still felt a little repetitive. I can tell that he's a fantastic performer, but the music itself felt like it could have used some variety. That's why "Your Cheating Heart" was my favourite part of the album, because it felt like things were allowed to breathe a bit.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic
King Crimson
I loved Book Of Saturday, but most of the other songs weren't for me. I don't know if it's because they were all upwards of seven minutes, but it felt a bit bloated.

Dinosaur Jr.
"Don't" was absolutely awful. I actually jolted out of my seat a bit when the screaming started. The rest of the album was okay, and I quite liked "Freak Scene". I'm not a savant of alt-rock, so maybe I just need to broaden my horizons a bit.

The Psychedelic Furs
I thought this one was cool! I really liked She Is Mine, wasn't expecting to hear a saxophone in that one. Reminded me very much of Green Day

It’s completely outside my comfort zone, but I thought it was really cool! I could do without the Queen covers, though

Nice! Never heard of this band before, but they have a really interesting sound. I'll be listening to more of them.

I liked it! I’ve never listened to much Prince but this convinced me to check out more of his music

I learned what Britpop is, because I looked up this album on Wikipedia. Apparently it’s a movement that emphasized Britishness and it’s bright, catchy alternative rock. Learned something new. As for the album itself, I loved it. This is the kind of band that I wished I discovered when I was a kid.

Flamin' Groovies
This one was okay, I was surprised when I looked up the reviews and saw how good they were when this album came out. It just felt like standard garage-rock/british invasion sound, like they were trying to be the Rolling Stones. I wouldn't listen to this one again.
