Central Reservation

Beth Orton

3/5

It’s okay, not too good. Very folky and electronic, her vocals are a bit annoying in some parts, not very soothing. Some songs are fun to listen to, I think I would recommend listening to it because it is an enjoyable experience. 6.9/10.

Very good album, highly recommend. I like the tone and the melody, from the first song to the last song. It’s very well and fun-ly made. You can tell they had a good time coming up with these tunes. 9.78/10.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

3/5

It was pretty good, lots of instruments and some various vocals too. It’s Halloween-ish and very psychedelic. 6.5/10 overall. Would recommend to at least give it a try.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

Well… it was enjoyable to listen to it, more enjoyable than I thought actually. I like the beats, his voice is also not too aggravating or annoying, i think he has a really good voice. The themes of the songs do get a bit… repeated which might make it less unique and enjoyable. But the vibes are there. 6.8/10

Queen II

Queen

4/5

Pre-listen: I am very excited for this one. Okay disappointed cause I did not know this album didn’t have the bohemian rhapsody. But the other songs were pretty good, I think there is a vibe going on, the songs are all different yet so good together, definitely has that black and white swan thing going on there. Would listen again 100%. 7.8/10

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

It’s folk-pop-instrumental. There are some songs I enjoyed more than others, you kind of have to break into it, to fully enjoy and appreciate it. At first the recordings sound weird however, but then it gets better. 6.8/10

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

It was the best album so far I’ll say, not as much je ne sais quoi as Queen II but it did made me dance and enjoy it a lot, not once did I want to skip a song. At first you’re like, what is this? But then it’s like “WOW! that’s supper co-ool!” 8.2/10

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

5/5

Great album actually. 8/10. It is such a great album, masterpiece actually. Very slow and sorting, perfect for a long road trip. His voice is anything but annoying, I could listen to him sing for a long time. Anyway, would definitely listen again!

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

just finished this album. It was really good but I couldn’t get quite enjoy it since I’ve been a bit overwhelmed. It was a cool experience, the long songs remind me of TON’s song style. 10-12 minutes long while others in this album are 2 minutes only. Great variety and complexion, the main theme is never left. 8/10.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

It was okay. Not my style of music really but I could enjoy them on a nice long roadtrip. Maybe if I was bored and wanting some nice concentrating music for studying or something like that. Would probably listen again? Not really, but it was enjoyable. 6/10.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

4/5

It was really good, the lay song, hidden track, is unnecessarily long? But the rest of the songs are really good, melancholic, sad and with that Cobain raspy voice. Mostly slow tempo, but very enjoyable. Sad boy music mostly. 8.3/10

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

It was country-folk. Not folk and light rock like. Very slow and gentle, all songs are the same theme and tone. Very grayish like. Just like the album is like. 6.8/10. Would def listen on a long road trip or when concentrating, doing work.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

It was good, melancholic yet very upbeat, the lyrics are a bit ‘eeky’? But overall the theme is constant and pretty there, sweet emotion is the one that stands out from the album. Even if it’s a pretty short album, it feels very long. 6.2/10.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

Best thing in the apple pie,,,,, soooo gooooooooood. EVERY song is so good. At first I saw the album and I was like “‘ell nah.” But listening to it now, it’s so good! Paul Mccartney ate this album UP! The Beatles should learn from this cuz Wow. This album makes me want to take on the world and howl at the moon.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

4/5

Very cool? Nice… smooth like rocks and jazz. Boopy, moody/moovy and very groovy-psychedelic. Short album. 6.9/10.

NEU! 75

Neu!

2/5

It’s giving Nintendo or Wii games vibes so bad, but it’s like so moody too? Like emo-Wii games vibes. Most songs are just atmospheric, no words or none. 4.1/10.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

2/5

It’s okay; mid. Very ummmm… like “the truth is out there! Tv is ruining your mind!” Type and theme. Too hard for my twiinyy brain. 4.8/10

Peter Gabriel

2/5

It was okay. Not bad or good? Just very slow and too boring and mid. Kinda annoying for me personally, his voice is not the best… 4.6/10.

Out of Step

Minor Threat

3/5

It was good, not bad at all. Maybe to wisniwoxneoeizjqpnw in the beginning but the last song is really good. It’s like it starts as a dislocated jaw and then transforms into a soft paper tissue being ripped very gently and into a bee flowing through the flowers. 6.0000000000001/10.

Adele

5/5

Great album, highly recommend listening to again. Her voice is top notch, really relaxing and nice to listen to. Her vocals really drive the song. 9.0/10.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

3/5

Lots of cursing and bad-words. It was good, his voice is not annoying but not enjoyable either. Old album tone. Very well done. 7.0/10.

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

4/5

Cool album, I really really like the lyrics, enjoyable, vocals are nice. Calm and soothing tone of the album is really refreshing. Like a sunny rainy day. 8.0/10.

Fleet Foxes

2/5

Eh. Not bad. Not my type at all. Cool and calming, relaxing even, good background music too. Very country-folk-indie. 6.000000000000001/10.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

3/5

Ok at first, I thought it was horrible and puke level like, but once I broke into it… it was kinda like… oh- oh? Right, so it was enjoyable I’ll say, especially “read the book that wrote itself” is really good. The last songs are really good. 7.47/10.

Liquid Swords

GZA

5/5

At first I did not want to listen to this album, but God opened my eyes cuz this is the best thing. So good, so stupidly good it’s so good. 100000000% recommend. Should definitely listen to it! 9.0/10.

Melodrama

Lorde

5/5

Really good album, almost perfect even. 9.2/10. Would a hundred percent listen to it again, it’s just that good. Lorde is such an amazing singer, her voice is so unique, one of the most unique voices out there.

Very good album, exquisite sound quality. Highly recommend to listen to, it’s pretty short and easy to listen to, great tunes and flow. 9.02/10.

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Great album, honest. But the first song is nothing like the rest, one of a kind, really. 7.9/10. It’s good but not quite there.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

5/5

Good album, peaceful and calm, country-ish but more folkish and rock. Would recommend and listen again, 8.3/10.

Elvis Presley

4/5

Really good album, wouldn’t say it’s the best qualityyyyyy- but if you like retro and vintage sound quality, I think you will enjoy the way the music sounds. His singing is really good, IMO. The album is a quickie, pretty short but fun to listen to. Would recommend listening to, it’s less than 30 minutes. 8.9/10.

Metallica

5/5

Really good album, I am honestly flabbergasted that I had never listened to this masterpiece before, it’s honestly so good, this made me love metal even more, love Metallica. 9.7/10.

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

3/5

It’s okay, it’s very retro and buzzy, it’s not clean for the most part but it’s okay to listen to, I guess I would probably recommend it to a very particular amount of people because it’s not very, very good IMO. 7.12/10

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

5/5

9.9/10.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

3/5

10/10.

Ramones

3/5

Honestly so mid. First songs are pretty good but it just gets really repetitive as it goes on. Short album too, but they make it feel so long. Anyways, listen to it if you’d like to. 6.14/10.

Aja

Steely Dan

5/5

It’s really moody and calming to listen to. Great songs and variety, brief yet interesting. Like the theme, wasn’t what I was expecting. 8.9/10.

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

3/5

7.7/10.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

Ambient, a good cruising album. Would definitely recommend in road trips when you’re driving, it’s not shocking or unusual but it is different in the form of ambience.

Really good and cool, super clean moody vibe going on. Definitely a great listen to. Highly recommend, there’s a really good aura about it. 9/10.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

5/5

He has a very unique voice, his little harmonica thingy is pretty versatile too. Too slow for my liking but 8.348/10.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

It’s really amazing, pretty car mellow pop aesthetic. 8.01/10. First songs are kinda like ehhhhhh but then it picks up its pace and then you don’t notice so it’s really good.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Really good! Highly recommend !

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

It was okay, definitely was not what I was expecting it to be. This was really electro and all that, while i thought it was going to be folk/country by looking at the album cover. Anyways, it was okay! 6.8/10.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Pretty good. Slow at first but then you start enjoying it. Really old too. Half of the album is a live version of it.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

1/5
