Holy shit was this album great. I don't know if there was a bad song on it. I've only heard the ELO hits before and wow I need to keep deep diving. I'm blown away. The Whale was probably my least favorite track, but it wasn't bad at all Favorite songs: Mr. Blue Sky (obv), Across the Border, Sweet is the Night, Wild West Hero, Night in the City

Very good album. Much better as it went through. Dark tones. The beats were very interesting. Favorite songs: Mystery Box and It Could Be Sweet. (Rated a 3 but probably a 3.5 or 3.75)

Really like this album. Fun tones, sounds, and beats. Peter Gabriel has pipes. I will definitely be coming back to this. Only song I knew was Sledgehammer. Favorite songs: Red Rain, Sledgehammer (duh), Big Time, In Your Eyes

God I love this album. It's so simple. 1 4 5 every song hahaha. Beginnings of punk. I feel this was ahead of it's time for 1976. It's prob a 4.5 for me. Favorite songs: Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement, and Havana Affair

This album was fine. The highs were highs and the lows were....eh. Many other Bowie albums I'd rather listen to and I hope are in this list we are going through. Prob a 2.5 album. Favorite songs: Valentine's Day, (You Will) Set the World on Fire, The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

Pretty good album. Not something I would normally listen to, but I appreciate what it did for reggae music. Bob Marley is an icon. Favorite songs: Exodus, Waiting in Vain, Jamming, So Much Things To Say, Three Little Birds (of course)

Holy shit was this album great. I don't know if there was a bad song on it. I've only heard the ELO hits before and wow I need to keep deep diving. I'm blown away. The Whale was probably my least favorite track, but it wasn't bad at all Favorite songs: Mr. Blue Sky (obv), Across the Border, Sweet is the Night, Wild West Hero, Night in the City

Ugh....Bob Dylan just can't sing. I get the appeal tho. The fact he was 22 when he made this album is also really cool. I get he was super influential but idk...every cover of a Bob Dylan song is better than his version. The song writing is pretty good but I know it gets better later in his career too (most of this album is covers). Probably more like 1.5 stars Favorite songs: Don't Think Twice, It's Alright and Blowin' in the Wind

This album was definitely better than I had anticipated as a non hip hop fan. A lot of the songs started to kinda blend together tho. I think the beats were creative. The vocals didn't really interest me too much Liked songs: Just to Get a Rep, As I Read My S-A

Short album. It was fun but there are many other punk albums I would rather go to. I think after a while they started to get really repetitive especially the vocals Favorite songs: Look Back & Laugh, Sob Story, Cashing In

Talking Heads without David Byrne This album was fun but not my style. A little out there. I'm not sure I'd ever listen to this again tbh. The beats were super 80s (a lil too 80s for me)...I just can't get into the vocals either Liked songs: None Disliked songs: Wordy Rappinghood

This was a good album. It made me feel like I was back in my grandparents' house. I would need to be in a very specific mood to listen to this album but I did really like it. Liked Songs: Cry to Me, Just Out of Reach (Of My Two Empty Arms), Can't Nobody Love You, and Won't You Give Him (One More Chance)

I really liked this album. It's not my favorite album in the world but I love Paul Simon's voice, the beats are fun, and the instrumentation and scores are creative. I think it is more like a 3.75 Liked Songs: The Boy in the Bubble, Graceland, You Can Call Me Al, Under African Skies, That Was Your Mother

This album was fine. It was a fun concept as a jam album but it seemed to not really go anywhere. I was entertained for the first half until "Who Do You Love Pt.2" and then got bored. Calvary is too long. Their cover of Happy Trails was BAD and Van Halen's is WAY better lol

I liked this album but it was not what I had expected at all. I was expecting Disco and instead it was like if the late, more mature, post-drugs Beatles wrote instrumentals for a David Bowie inspired singer to sing over. I kinda Disliked the 2nd half (From "When Do I" onward) but I loved the 1st half Liked Songs: Israel, The Greatest Man In The World, It's Just The Way, Trafalgar

This album was good. It did get boring after a while. "Black Screen" and "pulse (v.1)" were toooo long. Clearly a lot of talent went into this but not my style. It started to feel repetitive. Liked songs: "call the police" and "oh baby"

Fun album. It took me a little bit to enjoy the singer's voice, but I enjoyed it. The Extended Version is better than the original release in my opinion. It's a fun album with good guitar parts. Probably a 3.5 Liked Songs: "Mambo Sun", "Monolith" , "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" , "The Motivator" , "Rip Off" , "Raw Ramp" , "Woodland Rock" , "King of the Mountain Cometh"

I really really liked the album. It's not a no skipper which stops it from being a 5 star but boy is it good. It's Just overall a lot of fun. "Glad Tidings" a great closer. Favorite Songs: "Moondance" , "Crazy Love" , "Caravan" , "Come Running" , "These Dreams of You" , "Brand New Day" , "Glad Tidings"

I think this album was...fine. The guitar riffs and drum parts were a lot of fun, but I can't get into the screaming too much. Now, when they sang more calmly, it was very impressive. Sometimes the screaming is appropriate, but it is a lot. Prob more like a 2.5 Liked Songs: "Snuff" (I LOVED this one) , "Sulfur" , "Dead Memories" , "Psychosocial"

I really really liked this album. It was a lot of fun. I think I'd need to be in a certain mood to turn this album on but I will definitely be returning to this. The guitar parts were great and it was just a good time. I think the last two songs, while long, were a fun jam. This album gave me major R.E.M. vibes. Prob more of a 3.75 Liked Songs: Everything except for "Don't Stop" and "Elizabeth My Dear." I LOVED "She Bangs the Drums" tho

This album was fun. Def not my favorite but I enjoyed it. Some people talk about Beck like a guitar god and I'm not sure about that. There are fun guitar licks and parts and it's very good, but this album didn't have me go that far. Anyway, I did enjoy this album. I'm definitely willing to try more Beck. However, what the fuck was "Computer Rock." I hate ending albums with songs like that lolol Liked Songs: "Devils Haircut" , "Hotwax" , "Lord Only Knows" , "Novacane" , "Where It's At" , "Minus" , "Readymade" , "Ramshackle"

This album was sooo calming. Honestly I'd work to this for sure (I was working when I listened to most of this album). The vocals are so well done, the instrumentation sounds so clean and clear. I really like it. I need to be in a mood to listen to music like this but I can see listening during a night walk/drive for sure Liked Songs: "Crystalised" , "Islands" , "Basic Space" , "Shelter"

I really really liked this album. I see how Nirvana considers them one of their biggest inspirations. The similarities are strong. There also seems to be some similarities with R.E.M. Favorite parts: From "Ana" until "Hang Wire" ...all those songs HIT. "Blown Away" will be in my constant rotation

So I have listened to this album before and damn do I love it. Some songs here I NEVER get tired of and could listen to them on repeat all day. Steven Tyler is one of my favorite singers in all of rock and Joe Perry is a great guitarist. This is prob more like a 4.5 star album Favorite Songs: I love this whole album but "Sick As A Dog" , "Lick And A Promise" , "Rats In The Cellar" , and "Back In The Saddle" are highlights

This album was good. I know it is iconic and Herbie is legendary but sometimes I feel that the songs go on for a little too long, however, it was fun to listen to. "Chameleon" and "Watermelon Man" are iconic but to be honest, "Sly" was my FAVORITE. This is an enjoyable album to have in the background as you do other things. Favorite Songs: "Sly" and "Chameleon"

This album was...interesting. The beats seemed to never go anywhere. A lot of them started off great and then they just...stayed where they were. I listened to both discs and enjoyed the "Dirge - Slam Mix" and "Dirge - Adrian Sherwood Remix" better than the original version of "Dirge". Liked Songs: "Dirge" , "Flying" , "Aladdin's Story" , "Neptune City" , and "One More Time" Low Point: The weird screaming around the 3:20 mark of "Aisha"

This album was a lot better than I thought it would be. I listened to "The Velvet Underground & Nico" a few years ago (the album with the banana peel) and didn't like it so either my music interest changed, this album was a lot better, or both lol. "The Murder Mystery" REALLY lost my interest tho lol. I had this album as a 4 and this song dropped me to a 3/3.5. Overall this album had some really calming and intricate parts and some up-beat rock parts. Liked Songs: "Beginning To See The Light" , "I'm Set Free" , "Some Kinda Love" , "What Goes On" , "Pale Blue Eyes" , "Jesus" , "After Hours"

Yeah this album is pretty much perfect. Side A is completely flawless. "In My Time of Dying" may be one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. "Kashimir" is a classic. Kinda shocking that this isn't Led Zeppelin's best work. I hope we get to listen to "Led Zeppelin IV". It is....absolutely stunning. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham are essentially a supergroup by themselves. I also thought "Bron-Yr-Aur" was super interesting and not a song I would have expected for them to make. Probably a 4.5 because I know it gets even better. Liked Songs: "In My Time of Dying" , "Kashimir" , "Trampled Under Foot" , "Houses of the Holy" , "Ten Years Gone" , "Custard Pie" , "The Rover"

This album was fine. It got better the longer it went on. I did not like the vocal style in "Cracking" at ALL. It was...too short and rhythmic and it felt awkward. But the longer the album went on the better it got. Suzanne Vega is a great vocalist and I like her singing style in most other songs. Probably more like a 2.5. Liked Songs: "Marlene On The Wall" , "Some Journey" , "The Queen And The Soldier" , "Knight Moves"

This album was definitely influenced by Steely Dan and it is soooo good. I can definitely seeing myself digging into Donald Fagen's discography some more. There wasn't a song I didn't like, but ironic that I thought the weakest song was the one the album was named after. The vocal harmonies and guitar parts all throughout this album were amazing. "Walk Between Raindrops" was my favorite. Liked Songs: "I.G.Y." , "Ruby Baby" , "New Frontier" , "The Goodbye Look" , "Walk Between Raindrops"

I liked this album. It was wayyyyyy better than "The Contino Sessions." I am normally not an electronic music fan but these beats were entertaining and I felt like these songs actually went somewhere and didn't just drone on. The lyrics were definitely questionable at times and not really a highlight of any songs. "Narayan" was wayyyy too long and "Serial Thrilla" was boring lol. I am not sure if I would return to this album, but it was entertaining. Liked Songs: "Smack My Bitch Up" (feels so wrong saying I liked this one, but the beat was so catchy) , "Breathe" , "Funky Shit" , "Firestarter" , "Fuel My Fire" (this was probably my favorite one)

This album was pretty fun! I am not sure how often I will return to it, but it was a good time! The solo song of "Maggot Brain" was fun, although it did go a little long in my opinion. However, what the fuck was "Wars of Armageddon"....the burping throughout it was so weird. Overall though, I did enjoy most of this album. Probably more of a 3.5 Liked songs: "Can You Get To That" , "Hit It and Quit It" , "You And Your Folks, Me And My Folks" , "Super Stupid"

What is there to say about this album that hasn't been said before? This album is STILL the most sold album in UK history. Additionally, it is also the most returned album of all time because no one expected it and it was unlike anything done by anyone before. This is also the first album I ever owned on vinyl. This album is the start (in my opinion) of when the band went from being led mostly by John Lennon to being led mostly by Paul McCartney. The Beatles could no longer tour (because it was too dangerous because of fans) so they decided to become a studio only band. Paul decides they should create the first ever concept album where they all have alter egos and they aren't "The Beatles" anymore. They are "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." And what better way to kick that off then to have a song introducing this fictional band and then introducing the fictional front man "The One and Only Billy Shears" aka Ringo Starr. So we come up with a fictional band with fictional band member names and roles and that is how we can let Ringo be the lead lolol (jk jk this is an exaggeration and oversimplification. Ringo had sang lead before and everyone in the band loved him.) We get the opening track sung by Paul, then "With a Little Help From My Friends" sung by Ringo, and then "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" sung by John. Later, "Within You Without You" sung by George. I just love how in the Beatles while MOST songs get credited to Lennon-McCartney and one of them sings lead most of the time, any member can sing and have their role expanded at any time. I will say... "Within You Without You" is just not for me...I think it is a good track and can be entertaining, but it is the only song off this album that is not saved to my downloaded songs. To be fair, George's best work is still yet to come (I'm looking at you "Here Comes the Sun"). Every other song on this album is a certified banger. I think "She's Leaving Home" is such a tragically beautiful song and I love it so much. I would be wrong in not talking about one of my favorite Beatles tracks of all time - "A Day In the Life." It's so perfect. The fact that Paul had a half written song "Woke up, fell out of bed / Dragged a combo across my head" and John Lennon had about 3/4 of a song written "I read the news today, oh boy / ... / He blew his mind out in a car / He didn't notice that the lights had changed." And they both sing lead in this song on the parts they had written before combining them. God...this song sends chills down my spine and the fact that they decided to combine the two ideas....mastery. It just works so well. And that final chord....wow. "When I'm Sixty Four" and "Lovely Rita" get blasted sometimes for being filler songs and I don't know...I think they are so good and are like nods to their earlier styles of music. The Beatles get more refined and polished later, but Sgt. Pepper's is maybe their height of creativity (and wasn't toooo far out there yet). My top 3 Beatles albums pretty much move around and could be in any order based on the time of day lol, but Sgt. Pepper's is DEFINITELY always in that top 3. Liked Songs: All of them except "Within You Without You"

So I have never been a Thin Lizzy fan before, but damn was this good. From beginning to end it was so well done. The solos go crazy, the riffs are awesome, and the vocals sound so clear. This may be one of my new favorite live albums. Also 1 hr and 17 mins doesn't feel too long at all. Special shout out to the transition between "Cowboy Song" and "The Boys Are Back in Town"....WOW that was clean. This is more like a 4.5 for me. Liked Songs: "Jailbreak" , "Emerald" , "Southbound" , "Rosalie / Cowgirl's Song" , "Massacre" , "Still in Love with You" , "Cowboy Song" , "The Boys Are Back in Town" , "Don't Believe a Word" , "Are You Ready" , "Baby Drives Me Crazy" , "The Rocker"

This album grew on me the more it went through. At first I wasn't a huge fan of Alanis Morissette's vocals, but by the end I liked them a lot more than when the album started. This album also had some songs on it I kinda forgot I knew. The 2nd half of the "Jimmy the Saint Blend" version of "You Oughta Know" was interesting. This album is probably more like a 3.5. Liked Songs: "You Oughta Know" , "Hand in My Pocket" , "Right Through You" , "Forgiven" , "Mary Jane" , "Ironic"

This album was fine. A lot of songs went on for too long. I feel like in most cases I'd rather listen to the studio versions than the live ones. I was entertained, but I will probably not be returning to this album. Especially with "My Generation," the studio version of that song is shorter and way more interesting. Liked songs: "Heaven And Hell" , "I Can't Explain" , "Young Man Blues" , and "Substitute"

Eh. This album was fine. A lot of the guitar parts were fun (especially in "Stay") but eh... The song "Station to Station" was good, but I did not really like the introduction. I feel like it's disrespectful to rate a Bowie album this low, but I know there are better albums. Real review of like 1.5 stars Liked Songs: "TVC15" and "Stay"

I like the Black Keys. Brothers is a solid album, but I KNOW it gets better. A LOT better...aka El Camino. I really like the vocals and guitar parts but some songs on this album just aren't as catchy as they will get later on. More like a 2.5 Liked Songs: "Everlasting Light" , "Next Girl" , "Howlin' for You" , "She's Long Gone" , "Ten Cent Pistol" , "Sinnister Kid"

Ehhhhhh. I feel like this album never got off the ground for me. It kinda felt like a below average musical soundtrack. The vocalist's voice irritated me. "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" and "The Bogus Man" were just outright bad. The guitar licks and tones were fun and hype but it couldn't save this album. I'll give it a 1.5 for cool guitar tones and licks.... Liked Songs: "Do The Strand" and "Editions of You"

I thought this album was good. I'm not sure how often I will return to it, but there are some really good songs here. She is a really talented singer and the rhythm parts were fun! I did think having an interlude between practically every song was a bit much. Liked songs: "Cranes in the Sky" , "Mad" , "Where Do We Go" , "F.U.B.U." , "Junie" , and "Scales"

I liked this album. Not many of these songs made it onto my playlist of songs that I loved, but the vibe of the album was very good and I thoroughly enjoyed the album. It felt VERY 80s to me. More of a 3.5 Liked Songs: "Love Vigilantes" , "Sunrise" , "Sooner Than You Think", "Face Up"

This album was fine. I do not like Morrissey's voice 7 times out of 10 lol. I think the first half of this album is strong and then they lose me in the second half. Actually a 2.5. Liked Songs: "...I Started Something I Couldn't Finish" , "Girlfriend in a Coma" , "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before"

I liked this album. I see where a lot of bands like Nirvana use the Pixies as a major inspiration. I do think the highs of this album are very high ("Wave Of Mutilation" , "Here Comes Your Man" , and "No 13 Baby") and the lows are low ("Silver" and "Mr. Grieves") Actually 3.75 I also feel like during this album they knew their sound and were more confident in it a lot more than during the album "Bossanova" Liked Songs: "Debaser" , "Wave Of Mutiliation" , "Here Comes Your Man" , "Dead" , "Crackity Jones" , "No 13 Baby" , "Gouge Away"

I really enjoyed this album, although after awhile all the song's started to sound very similar. I did enjoy most songs and I think this album is great background noise as I am doing something, but there aren't many songs here that I will be adding to me usual rotation and I probably won't be checking out the rest of their content. Actually a 2.75. Liked Songs: "Moving In With" , "Mad Cyril" , "Fat Lady Wrestlers" , "Performance" , "Wrote for Luck" , "Lazyitis" , "Clap Your Hands" , "Boom"

Kanye the rapper and producer at his most self-aware. Its a shame that he turned out to be a REALLY shit person. Kanye went into a self-induced hiatus from the public (the Taylor Swift incident occured the year prior) and after getting all his favorite people to come out to Hawaii and help him with the album...the results are amazing. (He even got Elton John to work on "All of the Lights" with him.) The Production is incredible, the features are amazing (Kanye even said that Nicki's verse in "Monster" is the best one. Which coming from HIS ego is impressive), and the songwriting is fantastic. Kinda ironic that Bon Iver worked with Kanye on this album and would later work with Taylor Swift on "exile" 10 years later. I do believe that Chris Rock's part goes on for too long (it probably could have been cut out.) This album was integral to my music taste in high school. I still believe "All Of The Lights (Interlude)" is one of the most beautiful pieces of work and the intro to "Runaway" always gets me emotional and brings me back to high school. This rating is actually a 4.5. Loved Songs: All of them except for "Blame Game" , "Lost In The World" , and "Who Will Survive In America"

Miriam Makeba is a super talented vocalist. This album is just not for me and I probably won't be returning very often either. I do appreciate what is being done hereand I also like the instrumental parts. They are fun for sure. I think her cover of "House Of the Rising Sun" is good, but I definitely like the versions by "Geordie" and "The Animals" more. Actually a 1.5 Liked Songs: "The Naughty Little Flea" and "Where Does It Lead"

I liked this album. It was a vibe for sure. I was listening while driving around while it was snowing and it just felt...right. Sarah Vaughan is an extremely talented singer and this live album was done really well. You even heard something fall during a song which proves that it wasn't "touched up" too much... if at all. I thought it was interesting that she closed with a song that she "didn't know the words to," but I thought it worked and I liked the song a lot. A lot of the songs do sound very similar, but she knows her style and is good at it. Although...David Lee Roth's version of "Just a Gigolo" is better. (Although, he is covering the Louis Prima version.) Actually a 3.5 Liked Songs: "Willow Weep For Me" , "Just One Of Those Things" , and "How High The Moon"

I liked this album more than I thought I would. The vocal harmonies were soooo good. I really liked a lot of the instrumental songs too. Normally I am not a fan of country at all but this was pretty good. I LOVED "Remember Me (When the Candle Lights Are Gleaming)." Actually a 2.5. Liked Songs: "I Couldn't Believe It Was True" , "Red Headed Stranger" , "Denver" , "O'er the Waves" , "Down Yonder" , "Remember Me (When the Candle Lights Are Gleaming"

This album was so so so good. It was amazing. I loved it so much and now I want to listen to more of Norah Jones's stuff. This is not an album I would listen to on my own normally and now I am so happy I checked it out. Loved it so much. The instrumentation, her voice, the writing, the lyrics...all great. A few songs felt redundant but otherwise near perfect. Actual rating...a 4.5. Liked Songs: "Don't Know Why" , "Seven Years" , Feelin' The Same Way" , "Shoot The Moon" , "I've Got To See You Again" , "One Flight Down" , "Nightingale" , "The Long Day Is Over"

Well...there was ~35 minutes of my life I will never get back. What the fuck was that album??? That might be the worst thing I have ever listened to. I am sitting here trying to come up with something positive to say and I have nothing. This wasn't even music...it was just noise. "Thriller!" ....horrendous. I apologize to all other albums I rated a 1....I wish I could give this a 0 or a negative score. (Jacob I really hope you didn't like this album or I'm gonna feel bad) Liked Songs: Absolutely None Tolerated Songs: I guess maybe "I, Will Wait" and "(Pa) Ubu Dance Party"

Yeahhhh this is a fantastic album. I understand if Billy Corgan's vocals are not for you, but the guitar riffs, the passion in the vocals, etc etc are so so good. I will say...this is a longgggg album (over 2 hours) and there were definitely some filler songs that could have been cut, but all things considered, it's a great album. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the last 5 songs (although Farewall And Goodnight wasn't too bad) but Disc 1 (as referenced on Spotify) was near perfect. Actual rating is a 4.5. Liked Songs: Too many to name: "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" , "Tonight, Tonight" , and "1979" are all CLASSICS. The first 6-ish songs are all perfect

"God Save The Queen" I love this album. If you don't like punk...this isn't going to be for you. Do the songs start to sound the same? Sure. But does that mean it's bad? Absolutely not. I absolutely love Johnny Rotten's vocal style and the guitar tones on this album are amazing. There wasn't a single song I disliked. Actual rating is a 4.75. Liked Songs: I added every song except "Liar" , "Seventeen" , "Submission" , and "New York"

I thought this was a solid album. I already knew and loved "Rio" and "Hungry Like The Wolf" but I enjoyed the album overall. I really wanted to shout out the bass parts throughout these songs. I really enjoyed them and thought they were catchy and creative! Actual rating is a 3.75 Liked Songs (Other than the 2 I mentioned above): "My Own Way" , "Lonely In Your Nightmare" , "Last Chance On The Stairway" , "Save A Prayer"

Yeah this album was awesome. I don't even know how to describe it. It had "Radiohead" influence but with horn sections? Also the singer reminded me a lot of the "Lemon Twigs" vocalist. Such a great album. Every song was different yet similar and so good. I liked this album a lot especially considering I knew 0 about it before listening. "Go Or Go Ahead" might be my favorite "discovered" song from all these albums so far. Actually a 4.5. Liked Songs: "Oh What A World" , "I Don't Know What It Is" , "Movies Of Myself" , "Go Or Go Ahead" , "14th Street" , "Harvester Of Hearts" , "Beautiful Child" , "11:11"

Phil Spector is a convicted murderer. Kinda wild this album is on here (but appropriately assigned on Christmas). I also know Phil Spector was an extremely influential producer and is known for developing the "Wall of Sound" production style. He also produced the Beatles album "Let It Be" including the song "The Long and Winding Road" which I love. That being said, I do enjoy how this album is a huge collaboration project between a ton of musicians. I didn't really like the songs that Bob B. Soxx worked on tho. However...I have trouble ranking a Christmas album much higher than a 3 and even at that, it's not my favorite Christmas album. The "Silent Night" last track was a pretty creative way to say "goodbye and thanks for listening" tho. I do like how these albums sound old which is fun.

I liked the beginning of this album a lot. If all the songs were like "I Zimbra" this would be a 5/5 album. I think the first half of this album was strong, but then the ending was weak. Also the "alternate version" of "Mind" was better than the regular version. Solid 3.5 album. Liked Songs: "I Zimbra" , "Paper" , "Cities" , "Life During Wartime" , "Heaven"

This was a good album. The melodies were a lot of fun. Probably not an album or band I come back to very often, but a pretty enjoyable blues album. I always forget about how much I like the blues until I listen to it again. Liked Songs: "Soubour" , "Irganda" , "Nick" , "Wayei"

I liked this album. It wasn't fantastic or anything, but it was solid. Aretha Franklin is a fantastic vocalist (obviously). Actually a 3.5. Liked Songs: "Chain of Fools" , "Money Won't Change You" , "Niki Hoeky" , "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" , "Good to Me as I Am to You" , "Come Back Baby"

This album was fine. It's VERY pop/synth heavy which is just not for me. Some of the beats are fun tho. I thought it was interesting how the 2nd disc was the same set of songs but in French. Real review.... 1.5. Liked Songs: "Doesn't matter" , "5 dollars" , "Make some sense"

I am not sure what all to say. This album was pretty perfect from beginning to end. It was super enjoyable and I loved every second of it. The vocals took me a second or two to get adjusted to, but they are so good. The instrumentation was beautiful and this album was peaceful and so enjoyable. The trumpet part in "Hazey Jane II" was GREAT. I am going to dive into more of Nick Drake's music. Liked Songs: The entire album although I didn't LOVE the song "Sunday"

This album was fun. Their singer's voice took me a long time to get used to, but I did like how their guitar parts sounded very...space-y. Some songs were really not my vibe and others were fun. Also, I think the song "My Beloved Monster" was in Shrek lol. Liked Songs: "Novocaine For The Soul" , "Rags To Rags" , "My Beloved Monster" , "Guest List" , "Mental" , "Manchild"

I liked this album. I'm normally not in the mood to listen to jazz, but this was a solid listen. 2 songs = 38 minutes lolol. The jams were fun and of course...Miles Davis is a legend. Actual rating is a 3.5 Liked Songs: I liked em both!

I liked it. I was really into this 60s style in high school and it's a lotta fun. I do think the songs start to blend together, but it is comforting. There are some fun instrumental parts here and the vocal harmonies are great. Actually a 3.5. Liked Songs: "Monday, Monday" , "Straight Shooter" , "I Call Your Name" , "Go Where You Wanna Go" , "California Dremin' " , "Somebody Groovy" , "You Baby" , "The 'In' Crowd"

This was a fun funk/jam album. It was great music to play while I worked. Not too much about the album stood out to me but it was fun. Great vibes. Some songs went on for WAYYYY too long, but I know that is the style. Actually a 2.5. Liked Songs: "The Cisco Kid" and "Where Was You At"

Ugh...I know this album is like super highly regarded, but it just doesn't cut it for me. It's everything I dislike about Radiohead with none of the things I like about them. The entire album is so...gloomy. Ugh....Actual Rating 1.5. Liked Songs: Bodysnatchers, House Of Cards, Jigsaw Falling Into Place (the best song by far)

Wow...."Want One" was SOOOOO much better. I was soooo excited for this album and I just feel like it fell flat. Ugh...I was so let down. There just really wasn't much here that I enjoyed. Actual Rating...a 1.5. Liked Songs: The One You Love, The Art Teacher

I liked this album. The horn line was sooooo good and I enjoy Otis Redding's voice. This album is a majority covers, which is always fun to see someone's spin on songs, but I wish there was more original content here. Actual rating is a 3.5. Liked Songs: "Ole Man Trouble" , "A Change Is Gonna Come" , "Down in the Valley" , "Shake" , "Wonderful World" , "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"

I once again hate how good of an album this is for how bad of a person Kanye is. Ugh. The beats here are great and the mix of styles is soooo impressive. The production here is amazing. I normally hate skits too, but these were good. The School Spirit / Lil Jimmy Skits were pretty funny. I can't believe this a debut album. Pretty impressive. "Last Call" was such an ehhh way to end an album tho. Actual Rating is a 4.5. Perfect Songs: "We Don't Care" , "All Falls Down" , "Never Let Me Down" , "The New Workout Plan" , and "Through The Wire" Liked Songs: "Slow Jamz" , "Get Em High" , "I'll Fly Away" , "Spaceship" , and "Jesus Walks"

This album was fun. It came out a few months after "Revolver" and the Beatles influence is definitely there. "Party Line" VERY easily could have been a Beatles tune. Unfortunately I feel like the first half of the album doesn't sound as well as the back half/deluxe songs (Specifically from "Sunny Afternoon" to "Big Black Smoke"). "Dandy" wasn't good at all lol. "A House In the Country" is soooooo good tho. I am torn on this album because I feel the first half isnt GREAT, but then it keeps getting better the more you listen. I think I like earlier songs by "The Kinks" more overall. Actual rating 3.5 Liked Songs: "Party Line" , "Session Man" , "A House In the Country" , "Most Exclusive Residence for Sale" , "Little Miss Queen of Darkness" , "Sunny Afternoon" , "I'll Remember" , "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" , "Dead End Street" , "Big Black Smoke" , "Mr. Reporter"

Remember when I said in my "Physical Graffiti" review that that wasn't Led Zeppelin's best album and I knew it got better? Well...here we are. A PERFECT album. There isn't a bad song here. "Black Dog" is a FANTASTIC way to start an album, I wish I could hear "Stairway to Heaven" for the first time...the solo absolutely fucks, "Rock and Roll" is soooo good, "Going to California" is so beautiful, "Misty Mountain Hop" is so fun, "Four Sticks" is great, and "When the Levee Breaks" is such a great closer. "The Battle of Evermore" isn't my favorite song, but it's still pretty good. That being said...I'd like to tell a story: While I was waiting for the bus to go to high school my senior year, someone at my stop said they were going to pray for me for listening to "Stairway to Heaven." I was a sinner because "that isn't how you get into heaven and if I listened to that song I was going to go to hell." And I replied "it's Led Zeppelin man. Fuck off" Liked Songs: All of them, but "The Battle of Evermore" is my least favorite

Ehhhh....nothing really got my attention here at all. The vocals here never grabbed me and I found the guitar parts to be quite uninteresting. There were some songs here I "liked" but nothing here I really "loved." There are plenty of QOTSA songs that I enjoy, but none were here. Liked Songs: "Avon" , "If Only" , "The Bronze"

This was the first Yes album I've ever listened to. I've heard the highlights before, but this is the first of their albums I've checked out. It was prog rock, but EXTREMELY digestible. I liked it. The beats were fun and the guitar parts grooved. "Five per Cent for Nothing" kinda sucked, but luckily it was only 38 seconds. Liked Songs: "Roundabout" , "South Side of the Sky" , "Long Distance Runaround" , "The Fish (Schindleria Praemeturus)" , "Mood for a Day" , "America"

This album was fun. The vocal harmonies were pretty amazing and the guitar parts are so good. I really enjoyed this album. It has that "old time" feel to it. "Everybody I Love You" , "Carry On" , and "Our House" are AMAZING. Liked Songs: "Everybody I Love You" , "Carry On" , "Our House" , "Teach Your Children" , "Almost Cut My Hair" , "Deja Vu" , and "Country Girl"
