Really good. This is the type of rock that lives on forever.

New Order

5/5

I am smitten. This album was so well crafted, and suited my taste perfectly. I loved how some of the songs sounded more like traditional post punk and others leaned to a more synth wave-like sound. This album managed to create a consistent sound that never truly felt boring. A lot of the times I find myself bored at the end of an album due to repetitive sound, but this album knew how to keep me on the edge of my seat! If you've never listened to more of the new wave/alternative music this album is a great place to start.

Solid, but better Radiohead exists

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

2/5

Not for me. The funky elements were fun at first, but most songs felt dragged out and messy. Had a hard time focusing on the groove and just got a headache :(

Debut

Björk

4/5

BJÖRKK queen. This album is truly a journey worth experiencing!

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

2/5

I have mixed feelings about this one. Some of the songs sound quite messy and I don't like the beat nor the flow. Other songs flow well and have great composition

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Nothing revolutionary, nothing terrible. There is much better Creedence Clearwater out there. Overall solid, but the album felt repetitive, slow and frankly boring at times. "Proud Mary" and "Graveyard train" were the most enjoyable tracks for me.

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

1/5

Live for the violin. But that's pretty much the only thing this album has to offer. Not good, definitely very repetitive.

Feast of Wire

Calexico

2/5

Not for me. Was expecting hip hop and got weird and boring ballads. Some of the instrumentals were ok.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

5/5

One of my favorite country singers. This album is truly phenomenal. Hard to even pick a favorite, when most of the album was truly amazing.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

1/5

Not for me. I wad bored by the third track. Not a single song stood out to me as a particularly good song. Did not finish the album.

Infected

The The

3/5

Pretty good. Not my favorite, but vibed to some of the songs!

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

One of the most influential rock albums of all time, and for a reason. While these are not songs you loop over and over again, they feel fresh even after years of listening. Great introduction to grunge if you haven't listened to any beforehand. The album also does a great job at keeping the sound harmonious and recognizable but each piece distinct from each other. While "Smells Like Teenage Spirit" is probably the most known/listened to song from the album, I don't think it quite deserves to be the best track. In my opinion best tracks are either "Lithium" or "Something In The Air".

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

It's a good album. Hip hop and rap aren't really my thing but still had a great time listening to this one.

Repeater

Fugazi

3/5

It's decent post punk. I feel pretty neutral about this album, but none of the songs really stood out.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Wow! This album is very atmospheric. So much going on rhythm and instrument-wise. As a whole a very harmonious album with a groovy soul/funk feel. I live for this, so many new favorites!

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

3/5

Classic, a bit boring

Stephen Stills

2/5

Not for me at all. I'm not gonna complain if I hear these songs again, but they really didn't make an impact.

Green

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

3/5

Pretty solid. Reminded me a lot of Frou Frou. The album started out strong and got me in the groove, however towards the end of the album it started to feel much too repetitive. Still worth a listen.

Not for me.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Classic rock, what is there not to like.

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

Groovy but a bit repetitive at times. Felt great listening to this in the background without it feeling like elevator music.

California

American Music Club

4/5

This album took me by surprise. I was not expecting much but found myself jamming out to the album from the beginning to the end. The only complaint I have is that it ended too soon!

Murmur

R.E.M.

2/5

Didn't really love this one, "Radio Free Europe" was okay but the rest just kind of blended in and overall felt really repetitive.

Disintegration

The Cure

3/5

This album is mostly a roller coaster. Songs that take you on an imaginative journey and others that don't move you anywhere. Some songs like "Lovesong" and "Lullaby" were already songs I liked beforehand. Unfortunately through the full listen no other songs really stuck out.
