Kid A

Radiohead

3/5

It was alright. Some tracks were good, others forgettable. Nice enough to listen to in the background and relax.

Let's Get It On

Initially, it caught me off guard, but I enjoyed it more with repeatable listening.

Supergrass

4/5

Not bad for being their first debut album. I liked it.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

5/5

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

2/5

I am giving it a 2 because of the bonus tracks. Without them, it would have been 1 star. The beginning was not great but it picked up a little at the end. It's not an album I will visit again, but it doesn't mean that I won't give the band another try with a different album.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

4/5

I did not expect this to be dark for country music, but I kind of like it. 😅 It was something different for once.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

Solid live concert.

21

Adele

4/5

I can see why people love this album. I've listened to Adele's songs before, but not a whole album from start to finish. I'll give this a 4 because there were two or three songs that I didn't care for.

D

White Denim

4/5

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

I did struggle with this one. The first time I listened at work it was uninteresting. I had to play it a second time at home with no distractions, and it was a little better. Not an album I would play often.

Young Americans

David Bowie

5/5

I love David Bowie.

Tical

Method Man

3/5

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

4/5

I didn't understand a word, but it got me humming.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

There is no denying that Dre is a great producer. The beats were so good. The writing was not the best and was easily forgettable. Also, I didn't understand the significance of the sketches. I thought it was random and didn't fit in. Overall, it was ok. I'm sure someone who listened to the album when it first came out in 1992 is able to appreciate it more.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

Boring. I was falling asleep. I liked There Is a Kingdom though.

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

3/5

This man is not well-liked. lol I'm setting aside the kind of person he is, and rate solely the album. It gets a 3 stars. There were a few songs that I was tuning out, and the ones that I did enjoy felt average to me.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

I can tell that I enjoyed this album. It went by so quick. For once I was listening to something that wasn't dragging on for too long.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

4/5

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

4/5

Soothing. It's nothing groundbreaking, but I can listen to this and relax/chill in my room.

The Slider

T. Rex

4/5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

I listened to this album so many times.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Whoever told him to have his first live concert at a prison and let him sing songs about murder in front of all these prisoners is a genius. Ngl the whole concept was funny to me. The entire album was so engaging. Those prisoners were having a blast. lol

Low

David Bowie

3/5

This kind of music is usually hit or miss. I don't listen to it very often, but I can appreciate the direction it is taking. The same is true of this album. It's not David's best work but good nonetheless.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Classic.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

It caught me off guard. I did not expect it to sound so theatre, but I kind of like it.

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

3/5

It's wasn't bad but there are other better albums. It's not the one I will recommend to people that are interested in listening to his music.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

3/5

I don't know what to say about this album. I had to listen to it three times, but even then I'm still confused. 😂 I'll give it a 3 since I didn't hate it.

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!

Want One

Rufus Wainwright

2/5

I don't get it.

Opus Dei

Laibach

4/5

I remember last year someone recommended this album, and I liked it. I still like it even now.

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

I liked this one more than the Kid A album.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

I can't believe it took me this long to listen to Amy Winehouse.

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

2/5

That was rough.

Third

Portishead

Bob Dylan

4/5

I was surprised that I listened to it all the way to the end without making a fuss.

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

4/5

I liked the music, but the album was too long. At disc 2, I was starting to zone out. I prefer albums around 45 minutes to 1 hr running time. I can make an exception for specific artists and genres, but I like them short overall. Still, that won't affect the rating that I am giving, which is 4 stars.

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

I don't understand Bob Dylan at all. Maybe I need more time to comprehend his music. The last album I listened to was Blood on the Tracks, and I don't remember why I gave it 4 stars. I probably was in a good mood that day if I rated it that high. lol Highway 61 Revisited wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I didn't feel anything. I will say that he plays the guitar and harmonica very well, but the lyrics are forgettable. I'm going to give it a 3. There's something there that I'm not noticing. I may have to revisit his work later on. Hopefully, I'll run into another album of his.

The Band

4/5

Throwing Muses

4/5

I was able to listen to only 8 songs. This album is not available on Spotify or any of the other music streaming platforms. Someone made a small playlist on YouTube, and it is the one I picked to listen to. So, my review score will be based on those 8 songs.

C'mon it's Michael Jackson y'all. Thrilleeeeer! 🧟

Close To The Edge

Yes

3/5

The album playlist is short, but why are the songs length long???? The first one being 18 mins. 😭

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

TV On The Radio

3/5

It is different from the other albums I've listened to so far. It's not bad, but I need time to process it more. So, in the meantime, I'll give it 3 stars and save it in my library.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

5/5

This was actually pretty good. 🤩

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

3/5

I was reading Parsons bio and I can't believe he died so young. He had so much potential. It's not my type of music, but there were some songs that I did liked, one of them being "Love Hurts".

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

I wasn't vibing with this at work, but I played it a second time as I headed home. It started raining and was getting cloudy, and because of it, I was vibing with the music. Maybe it had something to do with the mood, how certain music sounds better depending on your environment.

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Sometimes Spotify puts itself on a loop without my permission, so I ended up listening to this 4 times. I am not complaining. I liked it. Also, someone said the singer sounds like Kate Bush, and now I can't get that out of my head. 😂

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

I'm giving this a 3. I was going to give it a 2, but there were some tracks that I liked. The problem is that I tuned out halfway through the album twice.

The Stone Roses

2/5

I listened to this five times, and I still can't remember anything. I like the album cover, though.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

It's all over the place. And a pirate song? 😂 I was confused on my first listen, but there are some catchy songs.

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

I've only liked two songs from here: "Don't Panic" and "Yellow". The other songs were alright to me. Coldplay is one of those bands I struggle to get into. I am not saying they are bad, but it's not for me. I usually like one or two songs on their albums.

Medúlla

Björk

5/5

What the hell is this??? The first time, I was so confused. Sounded like she was having an exorcist. 🤣 I had to play this a couple of times. This is so unique. I enjoyed this one. Call me crazy, but I am giving it five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Palo Congo

Sabu

4/5

I grew up listening to this type of music, so I don't hate it like others do. I appreciate that it was something different this time.

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

4/5

Nice 👍

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

Not my favorite album of them, but I love the band.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

3/5

It was alright. I guess I was expecting more. Still, I didn't hate it.

Public Image: First Issue

Public Image Ltd.

4/5

Nobody in my inner circle (besides me) likes punk music. 😂 And I get it. It's not the most appealing compared to other genres. They would've immediately hated this album, but I like to keep an open mind. The only song I did not like was the first track, "Theme". Everything else was fine. I don't know why they have two repetitive songs next to each other. I preferred track 3 with the music notes in it. My two overall favorites are "Annalisa" and "Public Image". I will give it a four. PS. Ironically, I got this album the same month the new Pope Leo XIV was announced. 🤣

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

This is so 80s, and I like it. I'm a '90s kid, but I remember my mom playing "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" every time she would clean the house. It's her favorite song even to this day. It's a pretty good album.

Electric Warrior

Love it.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

I want to hear more from them.

Unknown Pleasures

5/5

I said it in a previous review: Punk music is either a hit or a miss. Some people aren't going to like it, and that's fine. I like this album. It set the tone for me.

The Poet

Bobby Womack

5/5

I was jamming.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

No complaints.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

4/5

It's not bad, although I prefer their other album, "Fear of Music." Still, I will give it the same grade as the other album.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

3/5

It sounds similar to Radiohead and Coldplay which it's not bad, but I don't care for it in the end. Its not the type of music I will replay often.

High Violet

The National

4/5

I listened to this at work twice and was going to give it three stars. Then, after work, it was raining, and I played this again for the third time. For some reason, I liked it. I want to say the rain changed the mood. I swear bands like The National, Radiohead, Coldplay, and Elbow sound better in the rain. I don't know because without it, I wouldn't care about either of them. I'll give it four stars.

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

3/5

I will give it a solid C. Nothing special, but it still has a couple of good songs.

It's ok. I noticed that I can only enjoy this kind of genre when it's raining or in a quiet environment; otherwise, I start to tune out.

2005 Remaster version. I'm not a fan of the skits. Still a good album nonetheless.

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

I wasn't convinced at first. But the more I replay it, the more I started to like it. It is an album that requires relisten a few times.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

I have the vinyl. I love this album.

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

4/5

I know this came first, but this album reminds me a little of MF Doom. The production style is similar. The lyrics have interesting wordplay and are worth reexamining. The only issue I have is the way Kool Keith raps. He raps with no energy at all. I don't know if that's his style, but it took me time to get used to.

So, two Beastie Boys albums. Back-to-Back. I just heard their "Licensed To Ill" last night. They are trying to tell me something. 😂 Like the previous album, I like the production, but not the lyrics. Some are fine, others feel outdated. Does that mean I will never hear of them again? No. They have some good songs there, and I will not mind hearing them again.
