Disraeli Gears
Cream
I really only knew sunshine of your love before this, and mostly knew cream as Eric clapton’s band and knew that he was more of a blues guitarist
I was surprised to see this album take a more psychedelic form which was cool.
The guitar riffs were solid too
Standouts: Strange Brew, Tales of Brave Ulysses, SWLABR

The xx
Listening to this album without much prior context other than listening to Jamie xx, I expected a completely different vibe.
I really liked a lot of the minimal instrumentation and put in context of the year the album came out, I can see why this album was such a hit.
Maybe one critic was that there wasn’t much variety in the instrumentation like the guitar and bass tones, which made a few songs sound very similar, although the drums added a lot of variety here
I particularly liked: Islands, Basic Space, Night Time

This album definitely had some good songs, but I think none of them really spoke to me

Hugh Masekela
This is a masterpiece- it combines so much of jazz with African music and seems very ahead of its time.
It’s groovy and beautifully done.
Standout songs: The Big Apple, Minawa, Blues for Huey, Maesha

Pretty good bluesy album - enjoyed some world music influences which were big at the time. I’m trying to be more critical of my album reviews

Hybrid Theory
Linkin Park
This album hits home for me. I’ve probably listened to it hundreds of times over the course 18 years.
It might be nostalgia but this album never gets old to me, maybe because over time, I’ve changed too - I keep picking up new things with each listen - perhaps it’s a new bass fill on A Place For My Head, or the guitar riff on Forgotten that I hadn’t paid attention to initially.
Man, this album just makes me feel great. It reminds me of singing In The End at the back of the school bus. It reminds me of how Linkin Park was the first band I ever really loved.
Standouts (currently): Papercut, Runaway, Points of Authority, Forgotten

This feels very classic rock, but also kinda funky and groovy
I like the variety in songs, and the extended jams at some of the endings of the songs.
Standouts: Cosmic Dancer, Get it On, m, Hot Love

It was good, but not great - some feel good classic punk rock but nothing else above that
