Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

A great soul album from one of the legends of the genre. Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect" blows the original out of the water though.

I mean it's Jimi Hendrix. So many iconic songs here, an amazing debut album.

3/5

Great jazz, terrible rapping.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

Probably one of the easiest 5's for me. RIP ODB.

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

3/5

Amazing drumming, but I find the lead singer's voice grating, especially considering that this is an hour-long album.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

Top 3 Bowie for me.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

1/5

Well, I wasn't even born yet when this album came out so no nostalgia. Feels really dated, rap-metal is painfully cringey, especially with these emo lyrics.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

3/5

I like it. Good background music to listen to while working or just chilling.

Permission to Land

The Darkness

2/5

The falsetto. Just no.

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

1/5

Another rap-rock album, another 1-star. Just not enjoyable for me at all. Can't wait to get Limp Bizkit and add another 1 to my collection.

Rage Against The Machine

3/5

It's alright. The music itself is great. Not a fan of the screaming, though I get that it's essential especially considering the subject matter of this album (and every other RATM album tbh).

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Lots of bangers, probably a 5 when you're high as fuck. That crab looks like it's having fun, and so did I when listening to this album.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

3/5

Decent, but wayyy too long.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

4/5

This is great, I guess I just like Damon Albarn.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

The singles are good, the rest of the songs are just mid.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

2/5

As 80s as it gets. Not the biggest fan of Tina.

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

2/5

Interesting, but I don't see myself revisiting this album in the future.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

A mixed bag tbh. I guess that's inevitable on a 28-track album.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

4/5

𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙝

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Stevie is the goat

Cut

The Slits

4/5

Really fun album, I like the fusion of punk and reggae.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

Very enjoyable and energetic, Muddy Waters is a legend.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

3.5

Abraxas

Santana

2/5

Just not interesting to me, felt a lot longer than it actually is.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

Really wanted to enjoy this album more, but it's just too unmemorable.

Being There

Wilco

2/5

Just no. I despise anything country-related.

Parachutes

Coldplay

2/5

What a snooze

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

3/5

Pretty fun

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

3/5

Solid, I guess jazz just isn't for me.

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

3/5

Bonus point for Anderson .Paak

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

5/5

Unmatched energy, really makes you feel like you're in the audience. Incredible live album.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Catchy and enjoyable, despite its length.

For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

4/5

Kinda similar to Bowie, i liked it. "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" is definitely the highlight for me.

In It For The Money

Supergrass

2/5

Pretty forgettable

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

2/5

Didn't really capture my attention, and the fact that it's almost an hour long certainly does not help.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

A great soul album from one of the legends of the genre. Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect" blows the original out of the water though.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

2/5

Sinatra's usual crooning but mixed with bossa nova. Not particularly interesting to me.

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

3/5

Jaco Pastorius' bass is obviously fantastic, but the album itself is pretty hit and miss, especially "A Remark You Made" and "Rumba Mama".

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

I mean it's Jimi Hendrix. So many iconic songs here, an amazing debut album.

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Not bad but not really interesting either.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

5/5

Too bad he doesn't care about anything other than seeking attention nowadays. "Name one genius that ain't crazy" I guess.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

3/5

Well, all this ramblin' has its charm. The fact that the song about a boll weevil is immediately followed by a song about bedbugs is just spectacular.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

2/5

I get that they're influential, but I just can't stand the screaming. The samples and beats are great though, would probably give it a 4 if it was an instrumental album.

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

3/5

Solid grunge, a bit forgettable though.

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

2/5

Did not find it interesting, but at least it's short.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Very fun!
