Beatles

4/5

Come Together BANGS. And then damn what a drop-off. But then Oh Darling BANGS. And then the middle of this album is some camp-counselor-ass gather-round-the-fire type stuff that feels like it goes on for hours. And then the final few tracks BANG. The highs are high but the lows are abysmal.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

I see why this is considered an all-timer and cutting edge for the time, but absolutely nothing stuck with me. Every track was immediately deleted from my brain by the time the next one started. Not interesting enough to love, not disinteresting enough to hate. The perfect example of what my ears consider a 5/10. Will never listen to this one again.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

The random album generator smiled on me today. Funky, chunky, hell yeah. I only knew their hits before this. I liked those. I liked this, too.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

2/5

This album feels like 3 hours. When I saw the last track was 7 minutes I wanted to cry. I do not enjoy the vocals at all.

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

After a miserable day listening to Iron Maiden this was a much needed palette cleanser. At no point did I know where this album was headed, several songs sound like they were plucked out of a completely different project. Weird, unexpected, nearing 50 years old, and still sounds fresh.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Rounding up from 4.5. Deluxe version has the better finale track for sure. Songbird is the one true dud in here

Parklife

Blur

5/5

How fitting this came on a Bank Holiday. Call me crazy, but this guy sounds a lot like the guy from Gorillaz

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Highly Evolved

The Vines

4/5

All I know about The Vines is that one scene in Freaky Friday when Jamie Lee Curtis (after having swapped bodies with Lindsay Lohan's character) is talking with the teenage love interest at a cafe and she's charmed by the fact he likes The Vines. I remember zero individual tracks from this, but I like the whole picture. Was hoping for more of an Australian accent.

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

1/5

I love waiting rooms.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

3/5

Call this album a cigarette bc every part either rips or drags.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

The only thing that could keep this album from being perfect is an uncomfortable spoken word argument between Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. EDIT: fuck

Destroyer

KISS

4/5

embarrassed by how much I enjoy this

I See You

The xx

2/5

Royalty-free, boring, stinker of an album that leaves zero impression. It’s only value is being short.

Simon & Garfunkel

I gave Bookends a 3 out of respect. In hindsight that was a mistake that album stunk but THIS is far far far better.
