Being There

Wilco

5/5

I believe this is my first introduction to Wilco, will be coming back to this group and this album in the future. I don't know how it was missing from my life

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

1/5

I do not feel like my mood was in the right place. I was needing something to amp me up and get a workflow, but this was more calming. I'll need to give this another listen when I need to relax and unwind.

New Wave

The Auteurs

3/5

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

1/5

Before listening to this album, I felt like I enjoyed Otis Redding. I may have been too optimistic listening to it, but this album felt short and I felt like many of the songs that I enjoy are on other albums.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

2/5

I feel like I enjoy bob dylan's songs when performed by other artists. I didn't have high hopes going into this album, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. That said, ending every verse with the jack of hearts really got under my skin.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

I enjoyed this album, but not quite as much as I was hoping given how much I like the song.

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

2/5

Despite not knowing much portugese, I felt like I heard this album more than Born to Run the day before; wish I was able to understand more.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Layla and bell bottom blues; classic Clapton!

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

I have enjoyed ABBA in passing, but this was the first opportunity where I listened to a complete album. Will definitely be adding ABBA to my playlist!

Marvin Gaye is going on!

Raw Power

The Stooges

1/5

This rating might be unfairly low because only one of the anniversary editions was available on YTM, but the songs felt very repetitive and after 2/3 of the album I called it quits because I no longer had hopes of any deviation

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

A great album! It might not be my favorite Beatles album, but I don't think that alone should make me not give it 5 stars!

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

This can scratch that oldies itch!

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

Not always in the mood, but when I am it's a pretty solid album!

4/5

I don't love van halen, but overall I found the album pretty solid

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

I never realized so many of these great songs were from a single album!

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

2/5

Rating after the weekend is more difficult; I don't quite remember if I wanted this to be 2 or 3 stars. Wasn't the best but wasn't that bad

Live!

Fela Kuti

3/5

Music was catchy and reminded me a bit of the cowboy bebop intro. I did feel like it could use more vocals that I could understand or relate to

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

Short and sweet!

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

3/5

I can't tell if I love it or hate it, but my confusion was pretty enjoyable.

So Much For The City

The Thrills

2/5

I would rate this 2.5 if I could. It's not bad, but it doesn't quite meet the expectations of an above average album for me

Dirt

Alice In Chains

2/5

Maybe my taste is not refined, but I felt as though when I had heard one track I had heard them all

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

2/5

Excellent lyrics and instrumentals cannot keep my attention off the drawn out vocals that turn each track into a marathon. Maybe one day I'll be able to keep my mind off it, but today was not that day.

Take Me Apart

Kelela

3/5

This album has excellent song transitions and has an exceptional flow

Chill background music

Leftism

Leftfield

4/5

While I never listened to this before, this style brings back all the memories of grinding in MMOs for hours at a time. Great music to get shit done!

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Some hits, some misses

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

I always liked, but never loved Green Day, but after seeing them live I started loving their music. Easy 5/5 album

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

Probably won't be an album I think to play, but if it was playing then I wouldn't feel like changing it

I Against I

Bad Brains

2/5

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

1/5

It was a rough day and I just couldn't get into it. However, I think this could be a drastic understatement and should revisit this album another time.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

1/5

It's hard to describe what this is. I don't really hate it. My best description would be that it's the kind of music that I would expect to be in the background at some futuristic haunted house. Not really something I'd think of when looking for an "album", but more of a background accompaniment. I don't think I could see myself wanting to intentionally play this again.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Amazing, especially considering it's a single person. You've come a long way baby.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

Being There

Wilco

5/5

I believe this is my first introduction to Wilco, will be coming back to this group and this album in the future. I don't know how it was missing from my life

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

I want to write a more thorough review but I'm in a rush and want to listen to the next set of tunes!

Rage Against The Machine

2/5

Play

Moby

3/5

Was dreading this 2.5 hour beast of an album, but after the first few songs I got in the grove and ended up going back and playing parts of it again. Great background music to get through a workday coding and debugging.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

2/5

If I hear I'll come running then I'll be running out of earshot

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

2/5

Not bad, but not really my cup of tea
