Röyksopp

2/5

Some songs sound like it could be from a forgettable 90s video game soundtrack. Maybe 1 or 2 of the songs are fine but everything was very boring for the most part

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

Pretty good overall. I enjoyed the hits (dancing queen & money, money, money) as well as Dum Dum Diddle. Nothing else really stood out. I didn't dislike any of the songs though. 6/10

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

2/5

Started out ok but ended up liking it a bit less close the the end. Besides the big hit, 2 more songs were saved.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

I already liked a couple songs but ended up adding a bunch more to my likes. Couple of okay ones, the only song I really didn't like was the dirt one

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

1/5

First song was okay but got old quick. Don't like the second one.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

3/5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

I only knew where is my mind going into this and I ended up liking a couple other of the songs. I added 3-4 to my likes songs. The rest were all pretty good, nothing I disliked. I wish I could give half stars. I'd like to give this a 3.5/5 but I'll do 4

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

3/5

Dreamin was good I'm surprised its one of the least streamed songs. I didn't like scorpion. The rest of the album was okay, lots of iconic beats.

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

1/5

I didn't enjoy any of the songs. I guess I just don't like the genre/style.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Pretty good overall. I won't add any songs to my liked songs but I enjoyed listening to it. 6/10

Either Or

Elliott Smith

1/5

First album I wasn't able to get through.

Ace of Spades

3/5

I enjoyed it but there really wasn't anything memorable

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

2/5

Not as bad as I thought it was be but still didn't really like it

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

2/5

The scientist and clocks are good but I could not care less about the rest. One of the most overrated bands in my opinion.

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

3/5

It was ok, it started out pretty strong but got a little worse as it kept going.

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

4/5

Some classic beats and flows, but I wouldn't say it aged super well. Definitely comes off a bit corny at times but still a good album overall.

The Joshua Tree

3/5

Not the biggest U2 fan. I liked the rest of the album more than the 3 big hits at the start. Favorites - Exit and Red Hill Mining Town Least Favorites - Mother's of the Disappeared and Trip Through your Wires

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

Great album, already new a bunch of songs but never listened to it in full. Favorites - Super rich kids, thinkin about you, lost, pyramids Least favorites - Pilot Jones

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

2/5

I could not stand the vocals. Nothing else stood out. No favorites or least favorites because I disliked all of them equally

Black Monk Time

The Monks

4/5

Very interesting and unique album, definitely ahead of its time. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Favorite song - I hate you Least Favorite Song - I can't get over you

The Band

2/5

Not much to say about it, just didn't like it. Favorite - To kingdom come Least Favorites - Lonesome Suzie, I shall be released, Tears of rage

Sunshine Hit Me

The Bees

Never heard of this album so I didn't have much expectations going in but I was pleasantly surprised. Favorites - Punchbag, Sweet like a Champion, Sunshine, Sky holds the Sun Least Favorites - No trophy, Binnel Bay

All Mod Cons

The Jam

4/5

Started off a little bit weak/generic imo but got a lot better as it went on. Jumped from a 3 to a 4

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

I get that it was influential and probably made the teens go feral back in the day but I'm eating it on how it holds up today. It's not bad by any means but there's a lot that's much better. 2.5/5

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

2/5

More Specials

The Specials

1/5

I was in a bad mood all day and was hoping for a good album to help fix it. I heard the first second of the first song and it immediately made it 100x worse. I didn't get any better as it went on. I did not enjoy myself. I wish I could give it a 0.

Quiet Life

Japan

2/5

It started out pretty decent but got worse as it went on. This album did not need to be this long, it just began to drag on. There were no songs that stood out in a good way

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

Fun album but definitely getting a bit repetitive towards the end. I wouldn't give it anything over a 3 Favorites - Firestarter, Smack my bitch up Least Favorites - mine fields

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Some hits and some misses. Pretty good album overall. Favorites - come out and play, self esteem, genocide Least favorites - something to believe, what happened to you, so alone

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

1/5

For what would otherwise be a pretty solid album, the lyrics make it completely unlistenable. The babbling and moaning on get on top was awful. Where do I even begin with Devils Eyes? 1.5/5 simply for the instrumental

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

3/5

It's fine but nothing really stands out. I didn't dislike anything but it all just blends together.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

2/5

Not a fan, something just seemed off about it. It sounded like music but didn't feel like music, I don't know how to explain it.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

I only knew heads will roll so the album was a lot different than I expected. I was very pleasantly surprised. Definitely added a few songs to my likes.

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

2/5

Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

It was fine but nothing stood out

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

2/5

Some songs sound like it could be from a forgettable 90s video game soundtrack. Maybe 1 or 2 of the songs are fine but everything was very boring for the most part

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

2/5

This album did not need to be 32 songs long especially considering almost all of them were hot garbage.
