VERY solid album with a few bangers, will probably listen to it every once in a while.

It was fine but really not my type of music. Had trouble paying attention. Solid album but I wouldn't call it one of the greatest. Porcelain isn't bad tho

Absolutely incredible. Never really listened to this type of music but it blew me away. The heart that it shows is immaculate. RIP Sam.

Pretty great album, I'm sick at the moment so this'll probably not be my most coherent review but it has some solid bangers. Still not as great as my previous album but I may listen to it time to time.

Man. I don't know what happened but I just can't click with this album. Maybe I'm just not "cultured" enough but I can't stand it. The beats are pretty good, I just can't stand the vocals. Very different from any of his earlier material, (at least that I've listened to). Has to be a 1/5 from me.
EDIT 12/17/14: Oh damn he died after making this. It's not changing my score but that's kinda neat. RIP.

This was a completely fine album for me, not many highpoints, not many low points. This makes it forgettable for me. I can see the vision, it just didn't pan out in a very interesting manner for me. 2/5

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
Pink Floyd
Man. This is the first time I've listened to Pink Floyd, (or at least an album of theirs), so this was pretty eye opening for me. I'm very conflicted on what I should rate this. I would give it about a 3.5 so I'll think about it more later. I know this is their debut album so I would not be surprised if I like the next album I get more than this! Great stuff.

Godamn. This album is pretty damn immaculate. Nothing that really blew me out of the water per se, but the mixing is incredible. I feel like I'm saying this every review but instrumental hip-hop is new to me. The samples of interviews are also a nice touch. Just great.

This reminds me a lot of the Fred Neil album. Not in a musical sense but no real standouts. It was fine but I can't really see myself listening to it often. Some okay tunes but it's Play by Moby tier.

Ritual De Lo Habitual
Jane's Addiction
Oof. That was a tough listen for me. Album cover aside, jesus christ, there were maybe 5 minutes throughout the album where I went, "okay this is alright". It wasn't a complete mess and some of the instruments were pretty groovy in some parts so I'll give it a light 2. Not my thing.

R.E.M.
I think I've earned myself a three. This album was pretty damn good. I've listened to Orange Crush probably about 10 times today. Nonetheless, the rest of the album was pretty mediocre. Some funky beats but nothing too special. An easy listen for a day that I really needed it.
(Drinking Orange Crush while listening to Orange Crush is a 5/5 experience would do again)

WHEN WILL THIS RABBIT HOLE OF MID DAD ROCK END??? In all seriousness the album was fine. Nothing stood out so it garners a two. (Really being creative over 'ere). Anyway, lets hope our father SidledsGunnar blesses us with a banger christmas album.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Wow. The music as a whole didn't really surprise me too much (besides frosty that one was just funny). It'd probably get a 2, but I'm feeling in the Christmas spirit so a 3 it is. Happy Holidays everyone! :]

The Butthole Surfers (fantastic name) made an album that I would call.. weird? The first track was pretty good but I felt it kinda just fell off from there. I hate to give ANOTHER album a two but it wasn't my thing.

A Night At The Opera
Queen
Jesus Christ. I don't even know where to start. This is EASILY the best thing I've listened to so far. The only song I'd heard prior to this was Bohemian Rhapsody which wasn't even my favourite track on here. It's just so whimsical, I don't know how to explain it. I'll listen to it lots more over the course of the day but this is a HIGH 4 or or a 5. Just wow.

Is This It
The Strokes
Huh. This is a solid one that I feel like I'll grow into. This is especially weird since I don't particularly love it, but I've been playing it on repeat all day cause it's good background noise. It's in that type of Phoneboy, Good Kid kinda style that I like. I'll give it a 3 for now. No complaints.
EDIT 1/9/24: It grew on me. 4/5

My Dad rock rabbit hole has transformed into an alternative rock rabbit hole which, eh, no complaints. This album was pretty good. I'd definitely heard "Alright" before listening. It was just mainly feel good vibes which I can roll with. Solid 3.

Nothing's Shocking
Jane's Addiction
Man. It may be the album cover, the amount of rock albums I've been getting recently, or the general sound of it, but I just didn't jive with it. For the last album of 2024, it's been underwhelming. Anyway, my goal is to listen to one of these every day of 2025 so let's make it happen. SEE Y'ALL NEXT YEAR.
EDIT 1/4/2025: I COMPLETELY forgot I had another Jane's Addiction album before this. What is up with their album covers??

I heard good things about this album. I honestly didn't care for it. I saw it as mostly filler and couldn't really get behind any of the songs besides Foxey Lady (maybe). Big shrug for me.

I know I'm doing this to broaden my music taste but the first 5 of my profile HAS to go to this album. Obviously, I've listened to it a few times beforehand but it was nice to really digest it. Brandon's vocals were incredible as always. I'm going on a bit of a ramble but this is a 9/10 album EASILY. I'd love to see Sam's Town on here some day.

This album is outstanding for 1980. INCREDIBLY ahead of its time. It's more experimental than groovy which I can jive with. The instrumentals are especially impressive. Great album.

This is an incredible example of me going out of my comfort zone. I couldn't see myself listening to this without this generator but what an album man. What I originally assumed was just radio fodder turned out to be beautiful. AND AT 19?? This is EXACTLY what a 4 star album is for me. Something immaculate that probably won't be part of my rotation. Just wow.
