This ain't it for me. He didn't even really sing, it was closer to reading poems to soft background music. The instrumentals are fine I guess, but I can't see myself relistening to a single song of this. This is a deep cut arthouse type of album.

First half hype, back half chill. Solid album.

Really nice horns and piano sections. Would be nice in right time and place.

Enjoyable enough but not any songs that I can see myself putting on repeat. It's not really my cup of tea.

A few bops on here. I dig this album.

Just alright. Somewhat underwhelming. A couple good ones on here.

About expected. Good blues album. Another one that would be good for the right time and place.

Solid easy listening album. Couple big hits even 45+ years later.

A whole lotta big name producers on this one and it shows. A few classics on here. Not something I would put on frequently but 13 year old me would have loved it. Second half of the album not as good as first half.

I liked the album but it just didn't feel like a 4. I'll have to check out Minor Threat when I'm in a punk kind of mood.

This one wasn't for me. Major singer-songwriter vibes, this struck me as poems set to some guitar playing for the most part.

This was a great album. There's a little bit of that "singer-songwriter" type feel to it but it offers so much more than that. Will listen again.

This one didn’t do it for me. Seemed very generic.

Really enjoyable all around. Dude can shred. Will probably listen again.

Not bad, not great.

About what I expected. I could see this being nice to put on for a fancy dinner but not something I would keep in rotation.

I really like this album. A handful of bangers on here for sure. Will definitely listen again. Solid 4 but I think I still like ATLiens more than this one.

Classic album. It's 30 years later and I still know a bunch of these songs. Maybe nostalgia is getting the best of me with this rating, but isn't it iconic?

Actually a pretty fun little album. Short and sweet, but I enjoyed listening to it. I liked it more than I thought I would. On the lighter side of the 4s for me, but felt like more than a 3.

Definitely a stronger 3, but it didn't feel like a 4. There are a couple really cool songs on here but the back half of the album felt sort of flat to me.

Always a pleasure listening to Little Simz. Not my favorite album of hers, but it's still a great listen. A light 4 I'd say, will definitely listen again.

Nice album, will dig into Dire Straits more but overall the album didn't blow me away.

This ain't it for me. He didn't even really sing, it was closer to reading poems to soft background music. The instrumentals are fine I guess, but I can't see myself relistening to a single song of this. This is a deep cut arthouse type of album.

Not really my genre but I like aspects of it. Enough of a slight bluegrass/folk feel to make it more than just a typical singer-songwriter album.

Better than average but not better than most. Would probably be good to put on during a long car ride alone.

This was a little underwhelming for me but overall still a good album. Not Stevie at his best for me, but still a good album compared to others.

Didn't really move the needle for me. I didn't dislike it, just was very meh. They have a distinct sound that's for sure.

Very enjoyable. I'd never listened to YYY's before but I'll be checking out more of their work.

A fun poppy lil album.

Great album. The whole thing flowed very well. Definitely an album to listen straight from start to finish.

First Iggy Pop album I've listened to and it was enjoyable enough. Would've hit different listening to it back in the late 70s. Still holds up though.

Always great listening to a Stones album. Great tunes start to finish. Probably not my favorite album of theirs, but that's not a knock on it.

Voice reminds me of Bowie. Another one in the "like but didn't love" column.

Interesting one for sure. I can imagine myself being blown away in 1976 throwing this on the record player with a nice set of headphones, but in 2024 it doesn't hit quite the same. I imagine it laid a great foundation for a new genre but I don't think it's stood the test of time the same way. Cover art is sick tho.

Great album. I'm not well versed in jazz music but this one was an awesome listen start to finish. Some great solo work in between some all around great music.

Reminds me of drug fueled nights in smoky establishments. I can only imagine the scenes of an underground rave in the early 90s with this blasting. Fun stuff in here but not an album I care to listen again from start to finish.

Over 2 hours for an album is wild behavior. I am 84 minutes into this and I've grown a full beard, a spittoon appeared on the ground next to me, and I am suddenly in a rocking chair on a warm porch somewhere in Appalachia.

Truth be told, I didn't listen too intently to this one. Had it on at work. I dig the vibe though. Will likely give it a better listen again at some point.

Classic indie album. Nothing that floored me but pretty good album.

A couple songs on here were fun boom bap but overall the album felt one dimensional. Too many of the songs were unnecessarily long.

There are times when you come across a piece of art and think to yourself "I just don't get it". This was one of those times for me. Might be nice background music for reading.

Started off strong but then there were no new peaks. Enjoyable, but felt like something I’d put on as background at work than something I’d listen to normally. Better than the other electronic albums I’ve listened to though but it’s just not my genre.

Very solid album, but I don't think it crosses into "great" territory.

Fun lil disco album here. A few hits on here but can't say it makes me want to dive further into their other albums. It was a nice surprise to start off with the song that was sampled in Will Smith's "Gettin Jiggy Wit It".

This was an experience. Seemed to ride a fine line between music and just toying around with a bunch of instruments independently. I didn't understand this album in the same way I don't understand Jackson Pollock paintings.

I always enjoy live sets but Kurt's voice is definitely helped out on their typical studio albums. Still has their punk feel in a much more stripped down way. I prefer their normal albums but this is still great.

This is probably 1-2 songs away from being a 5 for me. Cover art is a solid 5. Slayer shreds.

Honestly if it wasn't Bowie it might be 1/5 territory.

Pretty solid album. I'm not a huge FM fan so I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed this album more than I thought I would.

Can't believe I hadn't listened to this one before. Golden voice she has there. Even 13 years later these songs are hits.

Definitely the best of the singer-songwriter albums I've listened to so far. Very peaceful feel. I dig her style.

First line in the album sums up my thoughts about seeing another Leonard Cohen album appear: "They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom"

Pretty luke warm on this one overall. I like his songwriting and his voice goes well with it, but it just didn't get me going like some of his other work.

I don't think it was bad, I just didn't really like it. I bet this would be fun at a live show, but for sitting and listening as normal it wasn't for me. I can definitely hear how this was influential for other similar bands to follow.

I do like me some Dusty. About what I expected from a full album of hers.

Had some interesting moments but too much random noise for my liking.

The cover if Iron Man was a welcome surprise. I also did not know who sang Lovefool until now.

Good jazz. Another one for me that is best for a specific time and place though.

A couple of songs I really liked, some others I was just lukewarm on. Overall a nice album, not my favorite of theirs though.

Kind of a strange album. Filled with a whole bunch of very short songs that all sound pretty similar. Gives the feel of very early punk.

There's a reason why he's nicknamed "The Boss" and not "The Deadbeat Employee". This album slaps.

Not quite my tempo.

I really like a few of the tracks but overall I think it's just ok.

I liked it, will probably listen again. Nothing stood out to me as a certified banger.

About what I expected from a lone Beach Boy. Some good lake music, nothing outstanding though. I only listened to the original version, maybe someday I'll give the whole deluxe a listen.

Can't say Lambchop is for me. The instrumentals on some songs were fine but overall not something I'd listen to. In some ways this reminded me of Leonard Cohen, just with actual background music.

Some classic 70s disco here. Couple hits for sure.

Nice lil indie pop.

I'd listened to this one a while back and liked it, but for some reason I enjoyed it even more on the 2nd listen. Kind of riding the line of 3 and 4.

Quite liked this one. Very simple overall but a solid album. Riding that line between 3 and 4 for me.

I thought it was fine, nothing that really made me groove along.

This is a great album. There's plenty of variety on here and I was vibing along the whole time. The production is on point and Lauryn has so much talent.

Pleasant little album, this.

Didn't like this one as much as Bryter Layter. A bit more one dimensional than his next album.

Not bad, reminded me of Tears for Fears.

Oh how I wish I knew of this album in my days of travelling through West Texas. This isn't something I'd keep on repeat, but I enjoyed it and will probably return to it some day when the mood is right.

About what I expected based on the album cover to be honest. Fine album, nothing particularly great.

So smooth, so groovy. Great album.

Fine album. Some hits that have stood the test of time but overall I thought the album was decent.

The instrumentals were alright but not a fan of the vocals. With a few exceptions, the lead singer was just talking into the mic.

The title track and Paradise by the Dashboard Light are bangers. Some of the lyrics are a bit interesting. Will probably listen again though because it's a fun album.

Really solid album. Definitely will listen this again and more Black Keys in general.

Quite liked this one. Iconic album.

Not in my top 3 Kendrick albums but that's not much of a knock on this. I still very much enjoy this album.

Bit of a wacky one, this. Gotta say I enjoyed it though.

Surprisingly, I've never actually listened to this whole album. Heckuva bass player. I think too many short but similar songs to give it a 4.

Solid reggae album. No songs really stuck out to me in particular but still enjoyable enough.

Pretty fun album here.

Starts off strong but levels out midway through. Nice album overall, but nothing special.

Such a great voice for the music style. Really enjoyed this.

Would be very fun to actually have seen this live but the album version is just alright.

Strange that this one isn't on Spotify, had to listen to the thing on YouTube. I actually don't mind Our House (maybe it's more nostalgia than anything else) but didn't really like the rest of it. I can't quite describe why I didn't like it, but this one just isn't for me.

I liked this much more than the other King Crimson album. Was pleasantly surprised to hear the album kick off with a song that was sampled in MBDTF.

The lack of too many background instruments really emphasize the lyrics on this. Really a great story teller and I quite liked this album.

I'd never actually listened to this whole album. The hit songs are all bangers but the others are pretty meh.

Like this one but didn't love it. Might need to give it a relisten.

I like alot of the samples but some of the beats were too out there for me. Some classics on here though.
