In The Court Of The Crimson King
King Crimson
getting an album this well known for the first day is pretty cool, as a music fan I've obviously heard of this album but somehow I never checked it out.
the drums at the end of 21st century schizoid man are so cool, never heard anything quite like it.
I talk to the wind is fantastic, kinda sounds like a more progressive later Beatles song? FLUTE!
Epitaph is also incredible, production is incredible and lyrics are also incredible, why haven't I listened to this album before? holy fuck that build up and release (idk what to call it) at the middle of Epitaph :O mind blown
I don't like Moonchild as much as the previous songs but it's still pretty good, drags on too much though imo and has the weirdest sounds.
that improv part seemed really boring to me at the beginning but once I kinda turned off my mind it really grew on me and I liked it.
In the court of the crimson king is fantastic as well, comes in as such a needed surprise after moonchild.
fuck this album is fantastic, should've heard it before.
My ears have been blessed

Made In Japan
Deep Purple
pretty good, I've listened to some Deep Purple and they never really clicked with me so this wasn't my favorite thing ever but it's still pretty enjoyable.
great performances from everyone in the band (drumming and synths were really good), however, it's still a live album so it's never gonna be as great as a studio one.
the mule kinda sucks though

1999
Prince
eh, this is the second Prince album I'm listening to (only listened to Purple Rain before) and they're not even comparable, all he talks about here is sex and sex and sex and sex.
Funky grooves all throught but they just got boring to me after a while - 1999 and Little Red Corvette are really good though.
I don't think I get Prince tbh.
2.5/5

One of the best hip-hop albums of all time, incredibly impressive debut (especially for the time period)

Talking Heads
I keep getting albums I've heard many times before, Talking Heads are one of the best bands of all time and while this is nowhere near their best album it's still really fucking good.
4/5 imo - incredible album but not perfect, a trully impressive debut that showed incredible potential.

Pixies
I literally listened to this album yesterday, heard it many times before - love this one.
Debaser may just be one of my favorite songs of all time, such a stronger opening that trully captures everything that is great about The Pixies.
Tame was never my favorite but it's still pretty damn good, the contrast between the screamy chorus and those quiet nerveracking verses is really cool, lyrics are interesting too.
I don't feel like writing about each song - this album is fantastic

I enjoyed it, just not as much as I hoped I would, I love Bowie so this was kind of a disappointing listen for me.

this is a beautiful album, folk is one of my least favorite genres and yet this album somehow really clicked with me.
instrumentals are unbelievable, seriously gorgeous.
lyrics go from having a glimmer of hope to very depressing.
this is a masterpiece imo, will def listen to his other albums

too much of this boring ass dude singing and not enough of this cool ass lady singing.
never heard of this album or this band but somehow I knew a lot of the songs here, speaks to this album's influence I guess.
really enjoyed it even though it became kinda boring in the middle, picks up towards the end.
Highlights: She Has Funny Cars, Somebody to Love, Today, DCBA 25, White Rabbit

boring as fuck and not for me, most of the lyrics are just "I'm sad cause we broke up" :(
atmosphere is interesting but jesus fuck it gets repetetive after 2 songs.
production was also really weak, drowned out drums and guitar on some songs and when they're not they still don't stand out.

The more I listen to Van Morrison the more I like his music, it's a shame he's such a tool in real life :(
This album is fantastic, every song hits and it has two songs that I consider to be some of the greatest songs ever written (Caravan and Moondance).
