Foo Fighters
Foo Fighters
It's a pretty solid debut for Foo Fighters. I wasn't expecting much but for the most part I liked what I heard. It's a typical 90's rock album but it excels at what it does. The first half of it was where it had its highs then after Floaty it just dips in quality. Most of the songs on this album just blend in with each other which I guess isn't a bad thing. All in all for my first album listened to on this generator I liked it.
Best - Floaty and Big Me
Worst - Weenie Beenie and Wattershed

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg
Jerry Lee Lewis
Upon listening to the album more than once and the complete version of it, I can confidently say that I do not care for this record. There were two songs I'd say I liked, but for the rest, I just didn't care for. I can understand the cultural significance of it, but it just doesn't push all the right buttons for me. I'm sure if I was teleported to 1964 in Hamburg, present at the show, I'd lose my marbles and do all kinds of crazy shit. It's dated and doesn't really have all that much substance to me. Also, this guy was pedo racist pos it's a damn shame he managed to live so long.

Very solid record by CCR. Enjoyed most of songs on this besides a very few that ran a bit too long for my liking but still wasn't bad. This was honestly a banger and a pleasure to listen to. If you ever want to know what it feels like to be an American just listen to this and or all of CCR's discography. Would recommend.

Fear Of Music
Talking Heads
Started off pretty good with I Zimbra it definitely hooked me from the start. The very interesting instrumentation really drew me but when the singer started getting a bit too wacky I was just kind of caught off guard and a bit confused. As I understand that seems to his whole shtick but it's not something I'm really a big fan of. Nevertheless the album as a whole was decent. The last three to end it the album off were a bit disappointing and it just felt like I got edged for nothing. I'd say I enjoyed experience more than the music itself.
Best - I Zimbra, Life During Wartime, and Heaven
Worst - Animals and Electric Guitar

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)
The Kinks
Decent record. It started off with a nice one then when Yes Sir, No Sir came in it really brought me back to earth. I really thought it was gonna be another banger. It wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't as good as I thought it would be since a lot of the British Invaders got lots of classic albums. I thought most of the album itself was decent, it had a couple of low points throughout but I felt like it did end quite nicely. Not something I would come back to but I didn't mind listening to it.

Started off pretty rough but got better as I progressed. Solid production, interesting vocals, and not bad for an album with a rough start. Definitely took at least two listens to warm up to Elvis' voice but after that it started to enjoy the album more. It's one of those album where you just gotta listen to it more than once to appreciate it. I wouldn't place it high but it was not bad at all.

Had an interestingly gloomy tone to it on the first track which sets you up for what's to come later on. Honestly Damon Albarn's vocals carry the whole album for me personally. His singing is like the vocal personification of melancholy throughout the album which pairs well with the production. This was a solid listen, I'll definitely be coming back to a few of these tracks.

A nice psychedelic rock to listen to. The feelings put to this felt quite intimate but I found myself staying in the same repetitive loop (it wasn't a bad loop though). On A Northern Soul I'm not fond of how abrasive the overall track feels I guess it's just part of it's charm but I just couldn't get into it that well. Overall, not a bad record if like britpop and psychedelic rock with some deep thoughts put to it I think you'll like it.

Dark, explicit, graphic, and controversial. All attributes that define this album and the man himself. This album really wasn't my cup of tea hearing all that screaming made the album a bit repetitive and therefore boring.

It's Blitz!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Energetic, soppy, mopey, and all of it being centered around synths is all I have to say about this album. I tried so hard to like this album. Listening to this repeatedly, I noticed that the singer would either elevate the songs or make them sound worse. I loved the energy coming from Heads Will Roll, but after that, the album began feeling subpar. The intro track immediately reminded me of Fox On The Run. It resulted in me catching a phony vibe while listening to the rest of it. Respectfully, anyone who gives this a five is smoking crack. Anyway, all in all, the album ended nicely. If the vocals didn't sound whiny and cheesy at times and had a bit more polish, and if the lyrics were better. I would have given this a four. That said, overall, the album left a lot to be desired.

An interesting concept album satirizing the advertising industry of those days. One of the best album covers I've seen in a minute.

This album really exceeded my expectations. I was unaware of how thought-provokingly beautiful this record was gonna be. Lauryn's voice, the superb production, and the discussion of various social topics within the music all come together nicely. From start to finish, it was a joy listening to it all. The rendition of Can't Take My Eyes Off of You was fantastic. The song ending off the whole event that was this album was incredible and probably my favorite out of all I've heard. Nothing but positive things to say about this album. My ears were blessed today.

Best - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (MPF), Southern Man, Oh, Lonesome Me, I Believe In You, and literally most if not all of this album.
Worst - NOT A SINGLE MISS

The Kinks
Started off great with the first track then it mellowed out a bit throughout the album but I thought it was still a good listen. I was expecting something a bit more from the rest of the record. It ended off solidly with the two last songs though.
Best - Party Line, Session Man, Sunny Afternoon, and I'll Remember
Worst - no bad songs (although some were a bit of a drag)

Jane's Addiction
This shit rocks man, the sonics on this entire album are just incredible. The opener kinda threw me off with how slow burning it felt but hearing it all come together was amazing. One of the best melodic, visceral, and thrashing hard rock albums I've ever heard.
Best - Up The Beach, Ocean Size (MPF), Had a Dad, Standing in the Shower... Thinking, Summertime Rolls, and Jane Says

Tommy
The Who
Tommy the goat fr. Even though this was a bit of chore to listen to with the long runtime I'd still say that this was a pretty good listen. When it comes to concept albums in general I'll always have soft spot for them since some of my favorite albums are concept albums, plus it takes some balls to actually execute one solidly. This album definitely had some misses but the majority of the album was great.
Best - 1921, Amazing Journey, Pinball Wizard, Go To The Mirror!, Welcome, and We're Not Gonna Take It
Worst - Fiddle About, Sensation, I'm Free, and Tommy's Holiday Camp

First, the instrumentation is very well done. The album's overall vibe is weird but not bad. This album had no business being 76 minutes long; I had to lock in to finish listening to it. There are a few standouts here and there, but the album itself was good. That 76-minute runtime is almost unforgivable.

Pacific Ocean Blue
Dennis Wilson
As a Beach Boys fan it's crazy that up until now I hadn't listened to any of the members besides Brian. Dennis Wilson does a splendid job with the creation of the record. I would have expected that most of what would have be heard was mainly the Beach Boys sound but he brings his own original flare to it. You get hints of that sound throughout the album but it really is labor of love and passion from Dennis. The songwriting is fantastic and the various sounds he draws from other genres is really something. I can safely say that if you are a fan of The Beach Boys that you will like maybe even love this record.
Best - Dreamer, Thought of You (MPF), Time, Pacific Ocean Blues, and Only With You

Sabu
Not gonna lie; I have an inherent bias to this since my folks come from the Caribbean, and I know for a fact my pops would definitely vibe to this. I'm not looking for any complicated melodies or intellectual lyrics when I listen to this. Instead, I close my eyes and teleport myself to late 14th century B.C. in Hispaniola when Christopher Columbus wasn't there to colonize the beautiful island and picture myself among the Taino people vibing out to this and spiritually taking it all the beautiful scenery, enjoying the culture and the delicious fruits. That being said, this shit slaps.
Best - Billumba-Palo Congo, Asabache, Rhapsodia del Maravilloso, and Aggo Elegua (MPF)

The intro track going into this album was a bit too crude for my taste and killed my enthusiasm. That was until I heard Starlight which to my surprise was decent. Most of the tracks here were just ok. I couldn't find anything to gush over and couldn't find anything to hate besides the first track. When I saw the overall rating for this I thought I was gonna be in for a hell of a ride. Instead I was handed a big Nothingburger.

Manu Chao
This album was interesting to say the least. The different languages being spoken on this was certainly impressive and unique but it was something that I did not care for at all. The vocals as well were a bit annoying at times and laughable. But it wasn't all bad, there were plenty of decent and catchy songs throughout the album. The listening experience was more enjoyable than the actual album itself.
Best - Clandestino, Bongo Bong, Mentira, and La Despedida

Great listen. The fusion of many genres here is extremely well done. The organ and flute as far as the instruments are concerned carry the album for me. The vocal performance and the overall production are also quite amazing. Ya love to see it.

Solid album. There was a lot to like on this album. The production especially was a highlight for me and the good vocals made the album enjoyable to listen to. There wasn't anything that I found extraordinary about the album but I'd much rather listen to this than something like Screamo.

Abraxas
Santana
Easiest 5-star yet. The beginning of this album takes you for a slow and mellow ride with the nearly 5-minute intro. Then it fades into an absolute classic that is Black Magic Woman. After that, you get hit with another banger (Oye Como Va), and after that, an incredible psychedelic Latin jazz fusion jam that hits you out of nowhere. The tone switches, the slow hypnotic guitar, and the unbelievable percussion on this album are astonishing. Samba Pa Ti and the rest after it were high points for me. It ends with a percussion-heavy, almost tribal chant, which was the cherry on top. This shit was so beautiful from start to finish.
Best - Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen, Oye Como Va, Incident At Neshabur, Se a Cabo, Samba Pa Ti (MPF), and El Nicoya
Worst - no bad no mid not even good every song on this was GREAT

George Michael
I didn't expect to not like this as much as since George Michael is usually loaded with bangers but man. This was a tad disappointing the production is outdated and at times quite corny. The entire album is corny as a matter of fact but I'm gonna give it a slight pass solely based on the vocals and George's aura.

Untitled (Black Is)
SAULT
There was nothing soulful or funky about this album. I suppose the message behind the music is meant with good intentions but this blows. The production is shit, the mixing is horrendous, and it felt so damn long for 56 minutes. The attempt at being "unapologetically black" is laughable. Piggybacking off the BLM movement this misses the mark so bad. A weak effort at trying to make something radical and inspiring.

Beatles
There's so much variety in this album that for me personally I never get bored with it (even with the insane 31 songs on this). A rollercoaster if you will. With that being said falling asleep to Good Night on repeat while being fried off a penjamin was one of the more comforting experiences I'll cherish (the piano version is a tad bit better imo). The Beatles shall always reign supreme.
