Today I listened to a lot of albums, this is one I was surprised to like a lot… definitely stood out as someone who doesn’t listen to this genre a lot. It’s been a while since I’ve listened to an album that has made me feel so calm. All the songs are very solid with great instrumentals and vocals 8/10
As a huge ex-Kanye fan, I was a little hesitant to listen to this again, but the lyricism and beats are truly phenomenal. It’s crazy hearing Kanye sound so well-spoken and passionate. 9/10 (rounding up)
a really atmospheric and smooth-sounding album… makes me feel like I’m in a castle and I’m writing poetry. Favorite song was A Forest :-) 7/10 (rounding up)
While Supergrass is not widely considered (to my knowledge) among the “big four” Britpop bands, this album shows that they are definitely one of the best from that era. A beyond solid record. 9.5/10 favorite song: I’d like to Know
James Brown is an incredible vocalist! It’s hard to believe this is live because it all sounds so smooth. 7/10
Even though this is rated higher than Natty Dread, I couldn’t get into it as much. Still a great, worthwhile listen nonetheless 6.5/10 Favorite song: Three Little Birds
Insane lyricism and eccentric vocals make this an amazingly solid record… 8/10 favorite tracks: The Dreaming & Sat in Your Lap
the first half of this album is otherworldly but the second half is a little underwhelming and repetitive, if it wasn’t for that it would be a strong 9/10, but with the second half, I’ll give it a 7/10.
I love how dramatic and soap opera feeling this is. I had only listened to Paradise by the Dashboard Light before so I was pleasantly surprised to hear how good the rest of the other songs were.
This is not my all-time favorite album of Blur, but it’s still a damn good one with lots of experimental rock tracks. I kinda wish this album list had 13 instead of blur but I’m glad this one is being recognized as well (especially over TGE) . 7.5/10 favorite songs: Beetlebum & Chinese Bombs
AMAZING production, but it kind of falls flat and feels repetitive in some of the slower songs. Favorite song: Combination of the Two & Ball and Chain soft 7/10
