Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

10/10, better than Wild God

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

It was good but i don't think it's as influential on me as the other albums provided

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

5/5

It was a very good album. Especially Venus in Furs and The Black Angel's Death Song were really good.

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

An all time classic

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

5/5

After Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone and Abby Lincoln, Sarah Vaughan does take her place for my top singers. It's a shame i didn't find her until now.

Boston

5/5

Was really good. Its like George Duke.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

2/5

N/a

The Who Sell Out

The Who

3/5

It isn't that old but sounds like it is from the 1920s, i think it was due to Spotify's lack of quality, overall i can definitely see its influence but aside from 2-3 songs i can't see myself giving it a listen

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

What can anyone say? A masterpiece

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

3/5

Would rather the piano of ryuichi...

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

I was shocked to see how similar Kiwanuka's voice was to Porter, album was just amazing too

Mott

Mott The Hoople

3/5

I was shocked to see how similar Kiwanuka's voice was to Porter, album was just amazing too

Tapestry

Carole King

5/5

Beautiful voice, funky mood, nothing else to say, one of the most easygoing and joyful albums

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

5/5

Insane guitar. Amazing sounds. One of the best albums i've listened to. Flabbergasted i haven't discovered this before.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

4/5

It was indeed an incredible bongo band. Never seen bongo get used this well. Kinda gets boring towards the end of album tho

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

1/5

Overall wasn't that influential on me...

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

There are some really good songs but i can't like the album overall, experimental vocals are not this group's strong point in my opinion, another reason i didnt like Wild God too

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

Long ass album, 40 songs jesus christ. Not 2pac-nas level but damn was impressive

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

1/5

The Cars

5/5

Amazing album. Feels like i'm going to an unknown family cabin to be murdered in a cool slasher

Skylarking

XTC

5/5

Album starts off weak to me. I hate bubblegum/dreamy pop, and as much as this is a rock album, it is more pop to my ears and liking. I thought this was nothing special, but i'd have still preffered it over whatever the music they're blasting off in beach clubs nowadays. Then the end of the album hit, the melancholy of Dying, the hope of Dear God (And the kid sings really well!) and the overall vibe of The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul. Maybe it isn't the greatest album i've ever listened, but it definitely earned its way into top 10 easily with the last songs.

Picture Book

Simply Red

5/5

Amazing synths, i have no idea what the "blue-eyed soul" or a "sophisti-pop" is, but if it's this, i'm interested.

Street Signs

Ozomatli

5/5

This album does not completely exist in Digital space, but i loved the songs i was able to find so much so i bought a CD for insanely cheap. This is ricky martin, 2pac, latin folk/rock fusion backed up by the occasional rap(more like hop-hiphop) addition. An absolute banger.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

Astor Piazzolla

3/5

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

I usually listened to September by Earth, Wind & Fire, this one is definitively not as good as that but still has the vibes. I don't think there was a memorable song for me though.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

Calm, cozy, original. People compare Low Roar to Sigur Ros a lot, i still think Low Roar is the obvious choice in my playlists, but this also had the same originality.

Don't get me wrong, it is definitely great, and a good way to get introduced to Indian music and its styles. However it's just that compared to other Indian music i've listened to so far, this was by far the most repetitive one.

The xx

1/5

Not my thing. Understandable that it's one of the most influential, as it heavily influenced shoegaze and indie pop, but for me not only this album is extremely raw, the songs it heavily influenced are the ones i particularly don't like.

Mother of the Seven Nation Army, Cold, Cold Night and Hypnotize. Amazing album

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

5/5

I think this is one of the interesting groups. It's essentially Beatles without the empirical exploration of Beatles, however what makes it very interesting is the small hints of very experimental insertions into music. The ones i specifically loved are the alien noises at CTA - 102's end, the very Carpenter/Horror-esque start of Everybody's Been Burned (Could easily be a Silent Hill entrance) and the overall eeriness/ambient noise of Mind Gardens, which also gives a hint of Asian music as well. The progressivity of this album exceeds my expectations as this is an album from '67. A five.

Great modal album, maybe one of the best after Kind of Blue, however it requires a very specific mood, one alike to the Nighthawks painting, but absolutely insufferable on an upbeat mood

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

5/5

"Sat In Your Lap" definitely gave me some Sinnerman piano vibes, which was my favorite throughout the album with "The Dreaming" itself. Overall a very fun album. Upon some research, i've also found out that she produced the entire album by herself, which gains my utmost respect for an experimental album that went out in 1980s.

3/5

I normally would've given this one star, not because it's a bad album but mostly a very cliche folk rock~ i'm aware that it's one of the first big folk rock albums, but it didn't blow me away. However, the psychedelic songs in the album, and especially I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here & Tamalpais High songs were good influences on me. I also liked the story being told by Cowboy Movie, which is pretty futuristic i'd say for its time, considering even the biggest songs were at most about personified singular stuff, like Eleanor Rigby. Turning a movie plot into a lyrical folk rock song hit the jackpot for me.

I think the album shines with "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", a mysterious, 17 minutes long, scary, funky, ballady, legendary song, and the rest of the album is just appetizers that don't really increase my appetite.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

It's a great album for those who enjoy soul, i do like it from time to time but it wouldn't be my 5-star genre. I do want to state that it is a top state of the art of its kind, the genre is not just for me. So if you like it, don't worry about people's 3s or 4s, you'll enjoy it

While do respect people who think separating art from the artist and agree to disagree, i personally think an art in any form is representative of a person and that person's cumulative experiences, emotions and characteristics through life. And this album, despite being labeled as "THE christmas album" by many, including myself, does not deserve a penny or recognition. There are millions of songs out there that one can focus their attention to, and a murderer's isn't one of them.

Terence Trent D'Arby

3/5

Dude is obviously talented, voice of an angel, wide knowledge of instruments, only to be messed up by a weird outlook on life and 80's "Disco" focused producers. Apparently he "intensely meditated in pain while Terence Trent D'Arby died and he forged a new soul" for himself. Hope he can meditate for some new souls that actually make great music. Oh and he also said this album was the greatest thing to happen after Sgt Pepper's, which just adds to his batshit crazy state i guess

I don't think this is a bad album, and despise the comments saying "Tidbits of noise don't make music", however i also agree with comments saying this isn't a masterpiece either.

Fun Lovin' Criminals

5/5

Look, by no means this is a complex album. However, it is fun, bass lines are groovy, lyrics are interesting, it is an entire album full of vibes. This is something i'd buy a CD of, put it into the car and enjoy a ride of 350 or so kilometers while hot breeze hits my face while i eye the sea from time to time. Wish i'd discover this sooner.

Basement Jaxx

5/5

I was about to give this album a one, really. I even thought out a critique saying how this was blatant, and much against Simon Ratcliffe's notions of how the dance scene has songs so blank and empty, almost soulless, and this album was an oxymoron and an example of his own critic. Then i read Alternative Press' comment of this album: "Somewhere in this album, Basement Jaxx has created something for everyone." while i listened to Red Alert and Jazzalude. I was ashamed of my earlier comments and my youthful ignorence. I completely agree with Alternative Press, this album DOES have a song for everyone, which is something very hard to achieve in a dance/EDM album. Props. 5 Stars. I fw anything after Red Alert.

A simple masterpiece that will revolutionize music in the upcoming years and will influence many, many great artists.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

2/5

Anyone who thinks this is a great album does so because they feel nostalgia towards it. At best, this is a mediocre roadtrip album except The Chain, at worst, this is a KingFM album. Bunch of emotionally challenged and immature people, dissing and praising each other's equally stupid lovers. I don't even know why this album is SO damn highly rated. Except Fleetwood and Mac, everyone in the group has someone much talented. Kate Bush beats Nicks, physically and musically AND culturally, Lindsay wishes he has a boy's name and guitar skills of an average bluesman. I wish they'd practice music more than they practiced human anatomy on each others labias and dicks. Jesus christ i'm sick of this mid ass group

Some of Daft Punk's works are a direct inspiration from this album, which makes it enough to like it a lot. Also, it is easily hearable to any ear, that Alive Alone inspired MANY songs to this date...
