Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

1/5

Felt like I listened to the same mediocre song on repeat. And then it got real religious. Definitely not in a good way

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

1/5

Gross. Would give zero stars if I could.

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

2/5

Of all the Britney albums, this one made the list? Preposterous! Adult me says this is one stinker of an album. Grade 9 me probably would’ve given it a 5. Even though it sucks I sang every single stupid song because I actually owned the album and apparently use precious memory space for bad song lyrics.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

I was expecting to know and like most of these songs, but this album was pretty underwhelming

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

3/5

This was...different... Lots of alien abduction vibes. Would pair well with a light show at a planetarium.

The Only Ones

2/5

Meh. The music was fine. Couldn’t really get on board with the lead singer’s voice. It was unique. But not a good unique. Like an “I’m surprised this guy got a record deal unique”

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

Hard to dislike anything she sings.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Standard classic rock album. Good for camping trips and long car rides. I said “it’s got a real Eric Clapton vibe” and Kyle replied “that’s because it’s Eric Clapton”. Touché.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Might be the first time I’ve listened to this album all the way through. She has a beautiful voice. Some songs are better than others (the x-factor is a favorite). I’d listen again!

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

1/5

I suspect there will be a lot of 1s and 5s for this. Either love it or hate it. So many of the songs sound like they would be in a horror film. It had me thinking “you okay, man? You seem pretty angry”

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Didn't recognize any of the songs, but like their general vibe. Would definitely listen to this again

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

5/5

First time listening to her music and I was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful voice, interesting songs. I really liked the upbeat ones

Boston

2/5

Wasn’t sure if I had listened to any of the songs on this album besides More Than a Feeling. They all sort of sound the same to me. Your typical classic rock album. I feel meh about it.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

This was okay. I usually really like funk music but for some reason this didn’t really do it for me.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

3/5

Lots of nostalgia here, although I think his follow up album had better songs. Can’t say I love all the lyrics. And I feel bad that my parents had to listen to me listen to such atrocious language on a loud speaker!

The Grand Tour

George Jones

3/5

I actually recognized a few songs. Pretty sure from my younger years at my grandma’s house. He’s no Kenny Rogers, but I enjoyed this album

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

4/5

I always appreciate the versatility of jazz. Can listen to it over dinner, while working on a puzzle, or just hanging out. I was surprised by how short this album was, but it’d be a great addition to any jazz playlist

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

2/5

Only recognized the first song. Apparently she was pretty big in the 80s. I don't really understand why (although This Woman's Work is spectacular). Waking the Witch was interesting... Overall, probably never need to hear this again (including Running Up that Hill...that song sucks. Ya I said it)

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

3/5

This was bizarre. His voice was Bowie-like but…cheesier? Some of the songs were very strange, but some of them were pretty good. It was comme ci, comme ca for me. Solid 3

Caetano Veloso

5/5

This made me feel like I was on vacation, and if there’s anything I love, it’s vacation. Is it in Spanish? Is it Portuguese? I have no idea but I’ll listen again!

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

2/5

Probably an unpopular opinion here. It was just okay. Not my favorite Beatles album. I dig the album art though.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

2/5

I like Arcade Fire and was expecting to love this. But after the first song (which is fantastic), the rest were sort of meh

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

No surprises here. I enjoy reggae. It all sort of sounds the same to me, but I like the sound, so I’ll give it a 3

Tidal

Fiona Apple

2/5

Thought I would like this more because Criminal is such a good song, but she sort of sounds like an okay lounge singer.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

2/5

I really like The Beach Boys. Somehow didn’t recognize any of those songs. It was okay

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

5/5

Can listen to this on repeat. My favorite of her albums. Especially love Slow Burn, Butterflies, and Rainbow. The kids like it too!

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

A solid 90s album. I used to listen to Mayonaise on repeat as a kid. Great lyrics, overall. Guessing people either love or hate Billy Corgan’s voice. I’m in the love camp
