One Nation Under A Groove
Funkadelic
Really like the mix, very enjoyable to listen to. Feels like the songs could've either done with being a minute shorter or had something extra to fill the run time, but had fun listening regardless

I really like the Allman Brothers studio albums, so this was quite disappointing for me, some classics on this recording but good lord, some of the instrumental/solo sections drag on for some time without doing anything especially interesting.

The Cure
Really didn't get the appeal of this, have enjoyed a lot of the Cure's material previously but this album was meandering, hookless and each track was hard to distinguish between with it all being at the same tempo. Maybe I need to be in a very specific mood to appreciate it

The Dreaming
Kate Bush
It was hard to get into this album, it really was just weird and not in a good way I think. I understand she was being experimental with production and I can see the influence it had on albums such as Hand Cannot Erase. However, I feel Steven Wilson took the foundations of The Dreaming and made it much more coherent and musical (it's one of my favourite concept albums).
I'll maybe give this another go as it feels like an album which works situationally and didn't work for me when I did listen to it to really appreciate it.

A Tribe Called Quest
I can see why this album belongs on this list and would be so beloved. For me personally the songs side on being too long and too repetitive without there being enough energy to carry my interest. The album went by pleasantly but never grabbed me lyrically or sonically and to me that was its downfall

In Utero
Nirvana
I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I simply do not connect with Nirvana. It sounds amateur with production, you can't understand a single lyric due to the mix and Cobain's complete lack of enunciation and the guitar sounds like a tin can full of wasps and doesn't work to be in a way that works for me.
I think Cobain was an okay to good writer but never found the way he delivered them to resonante with me, I tried to listen to the entirety of this album but just couldn't.
