Purple Rain

Prince

3/5

Sadly, I didn't enjoy it as much. But it's clearly well-made, and Purple Rain is forever a classic.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

First half is an absolute banger, the second half... just as good!

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

2/5

Excelent swing music, got me hyped for the movie. It's just not my personal style.

2/5

Not for me.

So Much For The City

The Thrills

3/5

Uplifting melodies for tested lyrics

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

2/5

Probably re-listen to it when you get older.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Insanely good. One of the most solid openings in the music industry. It's a little long and it has some downs, but it's a masterpiece.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

3/5

Sabotage is one of my favorite tracks ever. The rest of this album I just don't get. Feels disconnected from itself.

Tapestry

Carole King

3/5

Voice + piano, Carole King made it looks easy

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

A jazz masterpiece

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

3/5

Pretty unique, quite amazed I haven't heard of them before

Basket of Light

Pentangle

2/5

Too much "soulful rich white girl" vibe

Bone Machine

It's like I'm listening to a failed drunk Bob Dylan. I like it.

Didn't get it. No re-listen.

Nah

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

Britain pop is fun, is witty, it's classic :)

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

The album is really fine, not particularly something I'd listen to most days, but it's entirely solid. The thing is I had a completely different idea over Arcade Fire, qnd this project made me give them a chance and went ahead and... now I'm wondering what else I cast aside for thinking I wasn't the public

Common

4/5

Good album, I feel like Kanye's is too present in the whole (obv, bus too much) Still, good message, solid rapping.

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

3/5

I don't really think Queen Latifah's voice works for rapping... but it's a fine album nonetheless. Fav track: The Pro's

Like A Prayer

Madonna

1/5

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

As a non-USA resident, I felt like I lived in the USA, great job! It means the music worked the magic :) Fav track: Born in the USA

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Hell yeah

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

4/5

Can't NOT think of Donni Darko with this one, both are great

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

"Oh, it's the meme album" Then it was everything but. Amazing album, got a place in my mind forever now. Favorite track: The Chain

Damaged

Black Flag

4/5

Gave me a headache, but the raw punk energy is always very refreshing. Favorite track: No More

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Timeless, I actually don't quite love the last half of the album, but I can't force myself to give it less than 5 stars. Favorite track: In Bloom

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Can't digest it in a day, got re-listen to it many times over

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

4/5

Pretty unique piece of art, it does have a young adult white girl vibe, but I'd recommend everyone to give it a try. Favorite track: The Hut of Baba Yaga

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

3/5

It's okay, I actuslly would like to re-listen to it

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

2/5

It's like they made up a bunch of songs just to sell to generic romcoms. Favorite track: the only one that wouldn't fit in a romcom

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

I'd give it an solid 8, it's everything I like about the OG rap scene, great samples, great story

The Coral

3/5

Not really innovative, somewhat good to vibe with. The definition of mid.

The Clash

4/5

The Clash just never ceases to amaze

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

2/5

Very

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Takes great references of music to make good music. This album has variety, experiments, and I'd bet it influenced indirectly some music I like from Jack Stauber. I wouldn't say there were any memorable tracks to me though.

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

Torture in album form

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

2/5

Probably you had to be there to get it, I wasn't.

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

So ahead of his time it's impressive.

Shleep

Robert Wyatt

4/5

If a whole night of dreaming was made into album form. Its themes are intringuing, the singing is onirical, such a pleasant surprise Only downside, maybe, is that i can't see me listening to a single hit, it's more like a whole experience to listen to on dreamy sundays

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

1/5

Boring, uninspired. The vocalist's voice reminds me of Beto Guedes, which I like a lot, but it's not captivating.

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

1/5

Awful lol

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

Solid album, authentic, youthful

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

2/5

The vocals of Kate Bush are undeniable. The whole album sounds like a theater play. But I sure am not the targeted public.

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

3/5

Absolutely in love with this album. I must say US country music won't ever touch my urban brazilian heart as hard, but I can still appreciate the emotional vocals and soulful melody. Fav Track: Coat of Many Colors

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Timeless album, one can actually pinpoint how this masterpiece got referenced or influenced other media that came after. It's so well produced it's tough to acknowledge how experimental it is also. I personally don't think I'm aged enough to fully appreciate it, thus the 4 stars, but I'll surely come back to this one every year. Fav tracks: Joy Inside My Tears

Guero

Beck

4/5

Witty, funny, sentimental, every tracks pops like a surprise, this is a new must-hear to me. Fav. Track: Broken Drum

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

3/5

Big, powerful samples, classic quotes.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

5/5

I never knew MGMT, only by some memes with Eletric Feel. Even though I am a 90's kid, it just didn't make its way to me I suppose. That's what I love about this project, I had a streak of bad albums that took me a while to recover from, but I'm so glad when I got back I got an absolute string of bangers, and this one takes it. Cheerful party music that wasn't afraid of sounding meaningful. And I'd bet at the time they were considere shallow, but anyone that listen to this album will be able to say all tracks still hold up in lyrics and melody. An absolute must-hear-multiple-times-before-even-generating-the-next-suggestion. The only track I didn't quite enjoy was 4th Dimesion, so... Fav Track: all of them

Nixon

Lambchop

2/5

not for me, really 😅 The vocals are good-ish, lyrics are mid, melody (or better yet, the solos) is great.

Street Signs

Ozomatli

2/5

I knew Ozomatli from Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, by the song "Cut Chemist Suite", which is a masterpiece (mostly in the voice of 2Na Fish, possibly the most underrated rap vocalist ever). The samples are wild on the whole Street Signs, they are witty, culturally rich, it's like the producer is a big history nerd. That said, few songs actually caught me, possibly only Who's to Blame (bc of 2Na fish rapping, of course) and my Fav. track: Saturday Night

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Great album, though I just heard Songs in The Key of Life and it pales in comparison. Fav. Track: Living for the City, Higher Ground

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

1/5

I physically felt sick, like when you eat too much candy. So repetitive it seemed like torture at some point. And I can't tell which one is torturing my ears the most, the male vocalist or the synthetizer+drums combo. By far the only redeeming factor are the feminine vocals. Fav. Track: Flesh and Blood.

Parklife

Blur

2/5

Properly diagnosed with a case of "every song is okay, but none are reamarkably good". Also, too heavy on the trumpet. Also, commentaries are clearly filled of nostalgia.

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

A timeless classical and a great entry for eletronic music, which is surely not my thing. Can't deny Da Funk and Around the World though, those are simply memetic DNA since launch

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

1/5

The song that defines an era. Unexpectedly boring.

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

4/5

Diamond Life

Sade

5/5

Tasteful music. Timeless classic. Even when I was a kid I knew the grown-ups were into something. Albums like Diamond Life just will NEVER be made again.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

1/5

It's like an alphabet for romance movies that are really tacky.

New Forms

Roni Size

4/5

This album was clearly influential and ahead of its time, i'd bet many others timeless classics resounds with this one. Feels like playing Wipeout in your mind lol. To be honest, I miss this level of experimentation in music, but still it doesn't quite match my preferences in music, which is why no full score. Fav. Track: Brown Paper Bag
