Pink Floyd

4/5

Abstract, almost feels like a precursor to modern techno thru 3 songs. “Time” spiked my anxiety Fuck Pink Floyd for that song. Second half carries the album to me. Feels innovative but very random/haphazard. The chaos of some of these songs combined with a structured album loop is interesting. After reading the description much of the nature makes sense. Great album, not seeing anything memorable enough to deserve some of the hype.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

Long repetitive sections get old - Boring and slow does nothing to really move the song (Piggy). Sonically can get brutal, unable to understand some lyrics without reading. Obviously very angsty, but intriguing with the general tone of the album. Spaces where they have drawn out instrumentals to build tension is a good element. Great concept for an album, feels very personal. Reznor is an interesting character that definitely bleeds through on this album, great imagery and vulnerability in the lyrics, although not much my speed in terms of tone/feel for a suicidal narrative until the end.

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Very exceptional storytelling. Feels like little minimovies in each song.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Generational sounding album. Can tell it’s a precursor that inspires music like mos def and Wu-Tang in the following years. Even 3 decades old, this album is still fun to listen to and feels fresh. Very fun listen with great lyricism/artistry. First I had heard the cypher or group rapping. (It deleted my previous notes, pieced them back together quickly)

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers
