Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Arctic Monkeys
I should have listened to this when it was new, I think 16 year old me would have really enjoyed this and it would have made its way into my pantheon of great albums. Hearing it in 2024 was good, and I did enjoy it, but I don't think it was the right time for me.

Great 80s album. I would have dug it if I were alive then.

A couple good songs but mostly kind of boring. Am I a bad 80s music fan?

Not for me. Should stay in the malls of the 90s.

Great early 70s album. Not for my regular rotation but I never get sad when Yes shows up on the radio.

Jagged Little Pill
Alanis Morissette
This is the most 90s album i've ever heard just from the opening guitar riffs. I like her voice when she's not doing weird things with it. I think that was kind of her trademark but I don't really like the cracking that she does and a lot of country singers do.
She's working through a LOT in this album. jagged little pill walked so that Sour and Guts could run.

Music I can recognize is good, but not something i'm going to choose to listen to on my playlists.

I don't think it's for me. It's a little bit too boring? I don't know. I probably would have liked it if it hit me at the right time in my teens, but the mono-tone nature of his voice and the rest of the music really doesn't unlock any feelings in me.

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room
Dwight Yoakam
A country album! I'm not usually a country fan, but I don't dislike country either.
Pretty whiny 80s country here I think. Not my favorite. Not loving it. The title track is kind of nice though. Not something I'd choose to listen to though I think. It's very stereotypical country. Maybe there's some "Seinfeld isn't funny" going on here but it's really not that interesting to me.

Joni Mitchell
Is this the oldest album I've reviewed so far? Early 70s, and it SOUNDS like it! But I don't necessarily hate it. Feels like the soundtrack to a period piece set in the early 70s. But it probably wasn't used in contemporary movies at the time.
I get the feeling this album is very influential to a lot of folk acts, especially some of the earlier and later Decemberists stuff.
Carey is a standout track. California is good too! I've definitely heard that song before. A Case of You has strong Crane Wife 3 vibes at the start. Or, I guess I should say CW3 has strong ACoY vibes at the start
Another album I can recognize is pretty good (and influential in its spaces) but not one I could find myself listening to if I didn't listen to it back in the day and build those life/nostalgia connections.

I mean come on. It's a classic for a reason. we all love CCR. Do we listen to CCR on a regular basis? No. Am I speaking for a lot of people in the way I'm typing now? Yes. I don't care.
