Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

Truly an all-timer.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

I wasn't quite into it at the start, but that quickly changed and I ended up listening to the whole thing four times yesterday. Great album that'll definitely go in my rotation.

The Next Day

David Bowie

3/5

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

Smooooooth. Maybe too smooth. But rather nice still.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Decent rap album. I was starting to feel it on the second go around, but it feels like a mixed bag.

Good Old Boys

Randy Newman

4/5

Great album full of wonderful music with biting lyrics. I kept playing it again and again.

Electric

The Cult

2/5

Inoffensive and rather boring hard rock. The "Born to Be Wild" cover seemed rather pointless.

The Man Who

Travis

3/5

Very late-90s British. Lead single was played a lot back then. Somewhat boring in parts, but with some decent songs as well.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

American Gothic

David Ackles

2/5

Very theatrical; too much for me. I was enjoying it more on the second listen and I could see it going up a bit if I listened even more, but right now I feel I don't want to.

Maxinquaye

Tricky

5/5

A long-time favorite. Very interesting sound, one of the standout albums of the 90s Bristol "trip-hop" era. Very creative but fits well together, with great vocals by Martina Topley-Bird. And the Public Enemy cover is a banger.

Van Halen

2/5

I like the sound of the guitar, but overall this isn't doing much for me.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

5/5

They're a band and they're sounding good I like to play their album that's understood

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

3/5

I don't know what to make of this one. I didn't dislike it, but I don't think I'll be playing it more often.

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

3/5

I remember a fair amount of the material here from when I still listened to the radio in the 90s... some decent songs here, but not particularly interesting.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

This was very good.

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

2/5

Early Nick Cave. I didn't find this enjoyable overall, but did like a song or two.

The Predator

Ice Cube

4/5

Very nice classic gangsta rap album.

Gorillaz

5/5

I haven't listened to this in a while, but used to play it a lot in the past. It's a great album, very varied, with a bit of stealth Deltron 3030 action. Never cared too much for Gorillaz lore, but it stands on its own without the gimmicks. 4.5 stars, but I'll round it up.

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

3/5

I thought I'd like it more than I did. I didn't dislike it though, some funky beats and some catchy tracks, but there's plenty of early 90s hiphop that I'd listen to over this.

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

2/5

Some decent songs, but I'm not feeling the arrangements at all.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5

Classic hip hop album that I somehow never listened to in full. It's really good. Maybe leaning a little to hard into the skits, but it's alright, because the main material is worth it. Ecutez et repetez.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

I've never consciously listened to Steely Dan (though I recognized a song or two), but I had an absolute blast with this one - it's great songs with great arrangements, a hint of Jazz, smooth and catchy. I kept listening to it all day.
