Best: Levon Worst: All the nasties Liked songs: 100% Elton the goat but def not the goat at choosing album covers

Best: Ruiner Worst: I do not want this Liked songs: 86% Front half is somewhat decent but not amazing imo, back half is really good + the concept is really good + the album cover rocks. Elite study music

Best: Roadhouse Blues Worst: n/a Liked songs: 55% High 3 Love the blues rock sound, especially on roadhouse blues. Difference between first and second half isn't as stark as people say, but first half still better. Also the filler tracks all sound kinda alike, but not necessarily bad.

Best: where the streets gave no name Worst: n/a Liked songs: 100% High 5 U2 haters can stfu Joshua tree is a damn masterpiece

Best: Transylvania Blues Worst: Tennessee Liked songs: 50% Mid to high 2 Shocker, but the more indie rock it gets the more I like it and the more country it gets i don't. Given the very limited country I've listened to though, it's some of the best.

Best: the mercy beat, infected Worst: twilight of a champion Liked songs: 75%, 6/8 Mid 4 Fun erasure-adjacent new wave, but less weird vocal and more instrumentals which is always good. Saxophone is especially good in the instrumentals, and would've loved a song of just pure instrumental. Last minute of the songs really do be clutching. Also very hype album cover

Best: Californication Worst: I like dirt Liked songs: 60%, 9/15 Mid to strong 2 The real theme of the album here is the guitar clutches up while the vocals drag it down cuz the guitar riffs are for the most part really good but when I like a song I feel like it's usually in spite of the vocals. Definitely dated, can very much tell the era it's from (though tbf i thought i would've placed it before 99 that seems hella late). Also the peppers are assholes so that's gotta drag it down a bit. Ok and I just realized what Cali"fornication" means which reminded me that the lyrics are fucking weird why is everyone so horny for either people or california bro it was not clever enough to make it the title of the damn album the signs of the peppers being assholes were all here man.

Best: Ugly or Confessions (can't decide) Worst: Liked songs: 25%, 3/12 Light 2 I can definitely appreciate the influence the album had on the alt rock/punk scene, more so with the lyrics than the sound, because really the sound just isn't for me. I was really interested in the folk/punk label, but just didn't love it. The influence on my favorite genre of music and the lyrics are enough to bump it up to a 2 though.
