beautiful album! otis redding’s butter-smooth voice had me hanging on to every word.

my favourite talking heads album <3 mind is a masterpiece

it feels like i’m ignorant of some of the sins this record commits because i’m not well-versed in the beatles. it’s a decent pop record with a few catchy standouts.

i was so ready to love this album but the second half of it dragged on and got samey

you could get any information you wanted out of me by using this album. i’d probably fold during the first track.

i was not expecting tom waits to sound like cookie monster

feels pretty apt to be reviewing this the day before the u.s. election….There’s No Place Like America Tomorrow

a good funk will change your life

this album came out a week after my seventeenth birthday, so it’s total nostalgia-bait for me. it soundtracked some of the best nights of my life, driving home at dawn to perfect places, and some of the worst ones too, pining in my bedroom to liability. easiest five stars i could ever give.

men’s humour be like “rape 🤣🤣🤣”: The Album

dr. dre is in the house, yeeeah a hell of a debut album - probably closer to a 4.5 for me. some of the tracks are a bit too repetitive to justify their lengths, and musique should definitely be on here, but otherwise, homework ticks all of my boxes. fun, catchy, and makes me wanna move. i think it’s really tragic that daft punk’s true masterpiece (imo), discovery, didn’t make the cut for this list. daft punk is dead. long live daft punk.

ella fitzgerald has a gorgeous voice, but it’s not enough to justify the sheer length of this thing. 6 whole discs??

love this one! i do prefer talking heads’ later albums, where their production choices get funkier, but the songs on here are so damn earnest that it’s impossible for me not to like. i also love that if anyone unfamiliar with their discography were to check out this album based on psycho killer, they’d find it sandwiched between songs about reading books and loving your friends.
