Black Monk Time

The Monks

5/5

Man, what an album. It's like the animals found a time machine and grew up listening to the white stripes! It's proto everything! Edgy and punky but still loose and fun. So hard without taking itself too seriously. Dope shit.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

I cant explain it but this is a country album? 10/10 attitude. Stripped down, simple, rock. Pure.

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

This album is chock full of tracks that bear striking resemblances to massive pop hits that came out in the next 20 years after it's release. It's clear the sounds here we're hugely influential. Some of the riffs sound as if they're going to be a cover of some song or other that I hear on the radio, but they always take a slightly different direction. And the album is great, but it's just soooo close to being incredible. If only they had stumbled into the slightly different versions of some of these licks that went on to become superhits

Boston

2/5

Iron clad proof that I can appreciate the hell out of something without really liking it. Must have been a wild rode when this came out. All incredible songs and back to back to back is wild. Must have changed the game when it came out. BUT! not really my vibe. Just can't get down in a satisfying way to this stuff. Too soft.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

4/5

I am blown away by how much I liked this. Super vibey. The lyrics are pretty shot at some points but its good. Definitely over stays its welcome though.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

1/5

I like thin lizzy but I was VERY bored. Not a fan sadly. Never have liked a live album tbh.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

1/5

Decent! It's got a lot of elements of other stuff that I like, but kinda the worst of all of them? But of nirvana, bit of smashing pumpkins, bit of weatus and Alanis. Altogether is just aggressively 90s and most songs are fine but just missing a hook

Black Monk Time

The Monks

5/5

Stankonia

OutKast

3/5

Hell yeah! Doom and killer Mike both showing up was dope. Good ass album.

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

So much FUN.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

3/5

Really enjoying their ability to be upbeat and occasionally even happy tonally while still maintaining the heaviness. Some blues stuff in there? Way cooler than I was expecting.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

3/5

I need to relisten with more intent. I really enjoyed the second half with the band but I'm afraid I didn't give the lyrics the due that they deserve in the guitar half. And this album is all about lyrics, clearly. I enjoyed it but I think.i could have loved it.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

3/5

Having only heard running up that hill, I was absolutely not ready for this level if experimental music! I was absolutely fascinated for the duration, despite not enjoying it that much. This demands multiple listens to appreciate properly, but having only listened once, I can't give it a high score. I think i would like it more down the line. This is a perfect "album you should listen to before you die" because its just experimental enough to expose you to something new without being too challenging

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

First one I've heard before! What a masterpiece. That being said, it maybe didn't hit as hard as it did when I was a teenager! My taste has gotten less angst in lyrics and more angst in sound so the chill vibes left.me wanting more!

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

Perfect background music for earl6.morning costa rica. 10/10 for the memories, not sure of its something I'd appreciate as much with active listening.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

Really great punky shut. Nothing spectacular but will get more play by me than some technically more impressive music

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

This album slaps. Just like white blood cells but with more attitude more fun and more angst. Buncha metal buncha blues buncha grunge buncha buncha

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

5/5

I cannot believe that I have never heard of the Zombies before. This album is fucking amazing. Rose for emily, being the theme of S town, was familiar, but nothing else until tike of the season which sounds like a different band and really surprised me. Huge.huge fan.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

Some incredible hits here but smashing punkin sound wears out it's welcome over the course of an album

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

I wish I liked it better, it's obviously good music but failed to grab me sadly. Had some great piano bits.

4/5

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

2/5

If I heard this before the advent of lo-fi glitch hop 24 hr streams I think it would have been a truly unique experience but unfortunately this has become a very played out sound.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Unbelievably good. Never expected tbh.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

4/5

I used to own this album and have listened to it a lot without even rel getting it, just for the asthetic lmao. But this was a challenge to come back to. Some how though, after pigs I suddenly loosened up and ended up liking ot more than ever did before.
