Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Overall a much better album than I expected. Pop isn't really my thing but this album had some standout tracks like Hounds of Love, Waking the Witch, and Jig of Life. I give it a 6.5/10

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Went into this album with a love for it already and that love remained. Not the best Metallica album but tells a great story through its songwriting. The riffs are powerful but where this album ultimately falls short is through the lack of complex bass riffs that the band was known for with their earlier works with Cliff Burton. Overall 7.5/10

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

Overall fantastic album. I went into this album knowing a good chunk of the songs but had never listened to the album all the way through. I listened to the album on vinyl and it made the experience that much better. Overall 8/10

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

Fantastic album. I knew some of the songs but never listened to the album as a whole. Classic 90s hip hop with fantastic instrumentation on the beats and amazing lyrical flow. There's a reason Dr Dre is one of the kings and every feature with Snoop is top tier. 8/10

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

4/5

This album went exactly how I expected it to go. I knew hard to handle before starting this album and all of the songs maintain a similar vibe throughout the project. Hard to Handle was fantastic as always and the rest of the album had great tracks with a good mix of instrumentation. Overall 7/10
