5/5

The Smiths have a reputation for being a quite miserable band, which they definitely are at times, but it's easy to forget how funny they can be. That said, even in the funny or sentimental tracks on this record there's an unshakable feeling of bitterness that stays with the listener. I think this is why it's resonated with people for so long - or, in Morrissey's own words, "behind the hatred there lies a plunderous desire for love". Also, very funny album to get on Valentine's Day .

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

I liked it less than I remember, though that might be because I listened to it in the car while my parents talked about god knows what the whole time

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

It's a photograph of four friends going their own ways, some more willingly than others. It's also an album, a damn good one, the first Beatles album I fell in love with and the first record I bought on my own. It's a total mess. I love it.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

I think my mom said something in her review comparing the offensive lyrics to Motley Crue, which I agree with (though I definitely prefer this to Crue any day) in that both are exaggerated performances of masculinity in music. The main difference is in how NWA influenced the popular image of gangsters despite most members not having any actual gang ties and how that lead to a specific type of masculinity being played up in a lot of the mainstream rap of the time...but that's its own conversation. This still stands as one of hip-hop's most important and influential records, whether you think that's a good thing or not. 3.5

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

is this the most important record of the early 2000s? it's possible! it spawned so many imitators that it's hard to listen without hearing those (everybody talks by neon trees, a truly terrible song that i completely forgot existed until i heard it on the radio a few days ago, is such a blatant ripoff of the modern age that it's crazy) I hate most of those bands and yet I still love this album. It's just a bunch of unbelievably solid tunes. so good

The amount of people I went to high school with who were obsessed with this album put me off of listening to it for years. It's good. It's best parts are REALLY good. A bit excessive, but that's prog for you.

Sorry I haven't listened to one of the albums in a while I've been busy. But I listened to this one! Id already heard it but I liked it a lot more this time around. Dare I say this is top 5 Bowie? Maybe even top 3?

Aha Shake Heartbreak

LP1

FKA twigs

3/5

3.5 I really liked twigs' album from earlier this year, but I had never heard anything else from her. This was good! She's definitely improved since though

Blur

4/5

This is blur's "post-success" album. Their previous record, 1995's The Great Escape, was a huge hit, but it really wasn't that great. The band members, particularly Graham Coxon, were miserable with the direction they had taken, and that shows in this album. Coxon's love for American indie rock like Sonic Youth and Pavement is apparent in his guitar work, while you can hear the outline of what would someday become Gorillaz in tracks like On Your Own, I'm Just a Killer for Your Love, and Death of a Party. I would say this is Blur's most cohesive record, thematically messy and miserable, with hints of their past and future mixed together. Unfortunately, it does suffer from the bloat that all blur albums seem to have, but the good tracks are absolutely killer. My favorites are beetlebum (possibly their best song), song 2, death of a party, and you're so great. (Side note that I will expand upon when Modern Life is Rubbish comes up: Graham Coxon is, in my opinion, one of the all time great guitarists and he really doesn't get the appreciation he deserves. But, like I said, I'll come back to it. This review is long enough already. Also, 13 should probably be on this list.)

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

1/5

You'd think that by 1990 white blues rock musicians would have figured out how to do something new instead of sounding like malformed led zeppelin homunculi

Nevermind

Nirvana

3/5

Nirvana successfully sanded down the edges of noise/punk rock enough to be widely popular but still sharp enough to be edgy. I can see why this had such a following. But I really prefer the more raw and ugly sound of In Utero. 3.5

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

as much as I enjoy insane sci-fi prog that makes rush look like the carpenters, I'd take At The Drive-In over it any day. Why Relationship of Command isn't on this list is beyond me. Also, does anyone else think Cedric Bixler-Zavala kinda sounds like Gerard Way or is it just me?

Sister

Sonic Youth

4/5

Sister, along with their previous album EVOL, shows Sonic Youth starting to make actual songs (seriously, if you think this is abrasive and tuneless, check out their early stuff). The first half is great. The second half, not as much. 4.5
