There is experimental music and then there is this. Utterly insufferable.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Unexpected

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

This was my first time listening to Soundgarden, and I was pleasantly surprised. While I dabble in grunge, I wouldn’t call myself a huge fan, but Superunknown really caught me off guard in the best way. Soundgarden’s versatility stands out compared to bands like Nirvana or Pearl Jam.The vocals are captivating, and the guitar solos are absolutely on point—they draw you in and don’t let go. This album has earned its spot in my regular rotation

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

Contrary to the fun and upbeat jazz I normally gravitate towards this was a lot darker. Still very interesting and gets very immersive by the 3rd track. While it may not be everyone's go to for casual listening, it's absolutely worth listening to atleast once for its sheer artistry.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

1/5

sooooooo boring. Nothing much going on in terms of anything. Just a pain to sit through.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Raw, soulful and fun. Overall a solid classic.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

There's a lot going on but he just somehow makes it work.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

Experimental and fun .

Ramones

2/5

The first quarter of this album is fine; all jolly and fun but as the album progresses it quickly becomes very repetitive and tedious to get through. The only redeeming quality being it relatively short length.

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

1/5

Porcupine by Echo and the Bunnymen is a post-punk album infused with psychedelic elements, two genres I'm not particularly fond of—especially psychedelia, which I struggle to listen to for extended periods. That aside, the album itself feels slow and draged on.It might appeal to fans of post-punk and psychedelic music if they can tolerate its slow pacing and Ian McCulloch's distinctive voice for an hour straight. Overall -1.5/5

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

5/5

Absolute banger,. The vocals , the instrumental everything is spit on.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Noise

Adored the upbeat sections of the album but it does get a little boring at times. Still a wonderful experience overall.

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

Very beautiful indeed." the harmonica sounds soo good" was my honest reaction while listening to the first track and the rest fo the album did not disappoint either.Also, I felt Words was such a beautiful and fitting final track for the album. Overall a solid a 4-4.5

3/5

While it is not a bad album, it does not particularly stand out either.there where a few good tracks but thats about it.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Good instrumentals and love his voice however, it gets a little annoying by the 4th track it despite being a rather short album(gets a little repetitive). 3.5/5

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

2/5

I already found myself wishing for it to end quickly by the end of the second track. It's just not up my alley and while I understand this album is a major landmark for the Hip Hop industry I just could not come to like it. Having said all that, this album was really ahead of its time and definitely deserves some points in creativity and inventiveness.

Getz/Gilberto

The deep voice and the gentle guitar mar for a nostalgic and tranquil album.overall,a very cohesive album but one major element I disliked would be the boatload of relegious references.
