Blondie

3/5

This was a good album. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it again, but it wasn't bad. The hits are classic ofc, and there weren't any necessarily bad songs. Just kinda a regular album.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Amazing Album. Every song is amazing, great structure

Foo Fighters

4/5

Very pleasantly surprised by this album. Coming into it, I expected a very heavy alternative experience, but the shoegaze-y elements along side with some of those driving heavy alt songs made for a pretty good album. Even though some songs fell short, still give it a 4 star

The Clash

3/5

The Clash's debut album is good, but suffers alot of issues. First of all, the guitar tone in the many of the songs is awful. Way too much treble and distortion, taking away from what the guitarist is actually playing. And, the majority of the album is flat, with no contrast between songs until the last 3 tracks. The album is fun though. It's catchy, and I can imagine getting drunk and belting the lyrics with a concert of people. Low 3/5.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Amazing album. This is the first album I've listened to so far that really feels like an album rather than just 10 or 12 songs. Although I wouldn't say there's a bad track on the album, some songs stood out more than others, like Little Wing, Spanish Castle Magic, and Castles made of sand are really outstanding.

Buena Vista Social Club

5/5

Amazing album, definetly happily suprises to hear abit of flamenco music, and some great flamenco music at that. Really great songs, with amazing musicians and great sound.

New Forms

Roni Size

1/5

This album was way too long. Each song overstayed it's welcome, and didn't really go anywhere after six minutes. I will say,some of the jazzier stuff was cool, the double bass in some songs especially. Heros was also good. But it was still not it.

Nowhere

Ride

3/5

Gave this one two listens. Definetly better on the second listen. It's a good album, with definetly some really cool songs on there. I love the incorporation of harmonica in a shoe gaze song. Worked surprisingly well. But the album does have a couple almost filler tracks, that don't really add anything to the album, and just kinda sit there. Personally as well, I was not a fan of the mix nor the singers voice. Mix was very bright and harsh, voice was very warm and mellow, and the two didn't sit well together in my opinion.

En-Tact

The Shamen

2/5

I found the album to be 4 bangers, and that was pretty much it. The rest of the album was either just remixes of those songs or filler that didn't have much to it.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

2/5

This albu has very high highs and very low lows. The bluesy get in your face vibe is really cool, abunch of kick ass stuff, but then you have these vocals I find ruin certain songs and make them hard to listen too. Especially with those high screams he does that just clip the audio. Idk, it's a high 2 for meɓ

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

Very good album, really cool folk stuff, catchy melodies, nice sweet guitaring. All around very very enjoyable album

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Great Album, I honestly didn't think I'd enjoy it this much, but it was pretty awesome. Great song writing, awesome instrumentation, catchy, emotional, amazing.

Pelican West

Haircut 100

3/5

This is a high three. It's a fun, groovy, fast album with some really fun stuff in there. That intro track is killer, along with some of the instrumental songs. Only issue is that every song blends with one another, not much variety really.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Decent album. Ofc intro track is a classic. Maybe would've wished for more experimentation in the rest of the album rather than just rock and roll. Bit, can't go wrong with abit of classic rock. Last song was kinda cool too

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

4/5

Really suprised on how good this album was. Would definitely go back

Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

It was okay. Some of it reminded me of circus music

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

3/5

This album was pretty good. Found myself enjoying almost every song and getting into a good groove. Only reason it isn't a 4 is cause I can't see myself listening to it again

Guero

Beck

4/5

I really enjoyed this album. It kinda reminds me of the Gorillaz but more guitar and grit, and I'm all for it. Definitely could go for a walk listening to this album feeling like a badass. Fun album.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Really really fun album. I really enjoyed listening to this album, Johnny Cash interacting with the audience, telling stories, just being Johnny Cash is definitely the best part of the album. It would be a 5, but I think the music itself could've been abit more interesting.

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

This album was okay. Some tracks were decent, but nothing I'd come back to. I wasn't a fan of the mix, and not a huge fan of any particular sound. And musically I really wasn't that into it.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

3/5

I enjoyed this album. Nothing fancy, just fun rock/pop kinda vibes. Some good guitaring too.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

3/5

I wanted to like this album more, but I had alot of issues while listening to it. For starters, the guitar is out of tune for 75% of the songs, the bass in a couple songs didn't really work, and a couple songs really overstayed there welcome. It's still a 3 cause there were some cool elements, but I probably wouldn't listen to this ep again.

The Doors

5/5

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

3/5

I actually quite enjoyed listening to this album for the most part. Although the last song was long and made me cry, the rest was pretty good. I don't think I'd listen to it again, but it was a pleasant listen.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

Incredible album. Found myself really enjoying each song, with great instrumentation and great lyrics.
