Oracular Spectacular
MGMT
It's an album that existed. If I was another person back when it was released, it might have really connected with me. Handshake and Future Reflections had musical moments I liked, the rest of it I either knew too well, or didn't care to know. Sorry MGMT, I'm not your audience. <3

Licensed To Ill
Beastie Boys
I love percussion that sounds like someone's kicking down my door for 40 minutes. If I could have a fraction this album's energy in my day-to-day, then nothing could best me. The Beastie Boys' variety here is limited, but they do what they do best, and I can't argue with that - nor would I want to. Happy to have been introduced to Licensed To Ill.

After The Gold Rush
Neil Young
Suffering. I have found out what genre I don't like, and it's called Neil Young. The best I have to say is that some of the instrumentals with the guitar in it are good, but then Neil starts singing and everything is ruined. Hell is a Cripple Creek Ferry.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music
Ray Charles
Got a soft spot for Ray Charles. The music is from a bygone era, but still retains a lot of modern feeling, particularly in the faster tracks. Wouldn't really choose to listen to this, but I can appreciate it.

It's classic and chunky. Happy I listened to it, but I probably won't do so again.

Better than Led Zeppelin, if I was born in the 60's I would have been listening to this in some dark and danky corner. But I wasn't, so I'm not. Nice vibe, though.

Enjoyed the energy, some of the later songs in the album like Rage and Red White Blue were really good.

Middle of the road for me, but I can see where a lot of famous samples came from. Happy to hear Jacques You Body again <3

I'm just not here for them. Some of the songs in the middle are nice enough, but I don't see myself listening to this album again.

Really really lovely. The lyrics painted amazing pictures in my head, it was a gentle album with so much to say. Hey, my first five star!

Parallel Lines
Blondie
I like the energy in the earlier songs, and the harsher rough vocals. The popular ones are good hits, the rest didn't do much for me. I feel bad saying bad about Blondie though, she's lovely.

Not on the level of Taylor Swift's Evermore, but I really like this album and the general genre of music. So easy to listen to while working, captures a feeling from the early 2000's that feels so accurate of that time. Love it.
