pretty good. reminds me of the music dad listens to (because he actually does listen to R.E.M. LMFAO). put this on while studying, ‘twas an easy listen. i liked it well enough, wouldn’t really go out of my way to listen to much BUT i did like “Turn You Inside-Out” because it was more similar to what i usually listen to! solid 3/5 (would give it a 4 but i have a feeling there will be some genuine 4’s down the road so i’d rather be harsh now…)

an interesting listen. no real sense of cohesion imo… not necessarily bad! i will say that i REALLY like the track “Venus In Furs” bc it’s super groovy!! the tracks that were most popular according to apple music were lowkey highkey mid. heroin was an AWFUL RIDE (i was uncomfortable asf because WHAT WERE THOSE INSTRUMENTALS). props to the velvet underground though because they did a really great job of conveying their message with that one. overall, a bit too old sounding for my tastes and a lowkey unpleasant listen.

would i actively listen to this? no. did i surprisingly REALLY like it? YES!!!! this was such a cute lil album and was lowkey peak 60’s music. i don’t really have much to say about this one, it was pretty straightforward. country meets rock. 4/5!

this was genuinely one of the BEST album openings ever. literally ascended to those instrumentals. this album reminds me of my parents as well bc they LOVE U2 (for context they NEVER go to concerts and they went to a U2 concert and loved it). so from a nostalgia standpoint this album is really great. also it is really great overall, a SOLID, EASY 5/5. pretty similar to what i usually listen to, with a bit more of that mainstream tinge to the sound. “bullet the blue sky” is probably my favorite tune bc THAT is rock!!!! loved this album like genuinely.

this is the first time I’ve actually downloaded new songs from what I’ve listened to! see list below: “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star” “Shakermaker” “Columbia” (this one was REALLY good) “Bring It on Down” (peep the long guitar solo at the end 😍) “Slide Away” this album had me crying tears of joy (not really but metaphorically speaking). it’s so 90’s alt rock which is basically my entire music taste. idk why i didn’t listen to this earlier. thank you to this album generator for forcing me to listen to this before i die. 5/5🙏

opener is pretty good, if a bit repetitive. also, hello sexy instrumentals on “dirty boys”! i liked that one! all in all, solid album. the instrumentals were overall majestic and maybe saved the album in my opinion, but everything else fell flat for me. sorry bowie fans — i know he’s supposed to be “one of the greats” but couldn’t really get behind this. 3/5.

OH MY GOSH “Asylum”???? CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT BRIDGE?!?! genuinely AMAZING instrumentals, their music is so passionate and emotional and loud and impactful and perfect. not a lot else to say other than i really liked this album. one goofy ahh song TOTAL. 4/5.

ngl this was objectively a good album and an easy listen, but nothing really stood out in terms of artistry. i DID already know a few of the songs from the radio so it was crazy to be like “wait….. this sounds familiar”. hasn’t happened before! 3/5.

yeah i couldn’t really get behind this one. i LOVED her voice and the instrumentals were pretty groovy, but this album was just overall not my style. 2/5.

i’m not gonna lie, i was really questioning this album’s integrity after that opener. BUT it quickly turned around. everything was so funky and rhythmic and FUN! the beastie boys are always a fun listen so idk why i was surprised. nothing really stood out to me, but that’s not to say i didn’t like it… in fact, i would say my feelings on this album were more akin to love. would i go out of my way to listen? probably not (rap/hip-hop has never been my niche). BUT it was still a really good album. 4/5!

empty spaces is rlly good. already know hey you! (also rlly good). love the running motif throughout with the brick in the wall vocal line. also comfortably numb (side 2) is goated. the trial gives edward scissorhands vibes. i like how at the end they broke out of the wall with a BIG BOOM (“outside the wall”) and how the whole album was clearly telling a story! 5/5. i really like pink floyd.

yeah i already knew i liked this album. i actually have a record of this album (if you know, you know…) i really enjoy funky british rock! i did forget to take real notes because i was locked in BUT my favorite tune is probably “sunshine of your love”. also, i liked the lament at the end. it gave the album something fresh to end with! 5/5.

better than i thought FOR SURE. love dolly but i’ve never heard of the other two, and i usually don’t care for country. it was an easy listen for sure, but nothing stood out musically. if anything, i thought everyone fell flat, and usually dolly DELIVERS. however, flat does not mean bad! i still liked it overall, i just think more could have been done to make this album stand out. 3/5.

opener (“smells like teen spirit”) is a classic. overall, this album is a classic. didn’t disappoint (as per usual for nirvana). i was surprised that the closer (“endless, nameless”) was starting to edge near heavy rock/metal (but i liked it). this is one of those albums/artists where i can understand why they’re popular. love grunge alternative rock! 5/5.

i was unsure at first, but “catholic block” had me thinking that maybe this wasn’t so bad of an album. however, this album did kinda feel as if “rock lobster” (a good song btw) were translated into a punk rock album. i really appreciated the guitar work, and overall the instrumentals were strong! however, the album was really not cohesive enough for my liking. was gonna rate this a 3/5, then i got to the last track. 2/5.

ngl as an instrumental music girlie i mess with this. i appreciate how the first track WALKS YOU THROUGH traditional indian music which is something i have NEVER heard in an album. little introductions were also present in bits and pieces throughout the album which was cool. this was completely different from anything i have listened to, but i’m really glad i did! 4/5.

“tutti frutti” MIGHT be the catchiest opener i’ve heard yet. THERE’S EVEN A TAKE TWO ON DISC 2! a good walking bass line always speaks to my soul (there’s one in pretty much every tune). i appreciate how much the sax is RIPPING throughout. “oh why?” is also a standount! i love 50’s rock and roll. 5/5.

didn’t take many notes on this one because it was unremarkable. not necessarily an enjoyable listen, but not unpleasant either. it helps that this album was britpop (i love british music). otherwise mid. 3/5.

“london calling” was kinda giving “monster mash” (you know the one). so strong start. after that i actually kinda liked the album, but nothing stood out. i wish this was out of ten so i could give it a 7/10. but unfortunately i can’t. so 3/5.

my head says no, but my heart says YES!!!! i’m not gonna lie this is not what i’d normally get down to at all, but i really liked it (against my better judgement). the “exotic” instrumentation (thanks wikipedia) was so funky and nontraditional that i couldn’t help but giggle to myself. also, i’m pretty sure this album told a story (not 100% but it felt like it did so i also like that). thank you psychedelic folk. 4/5.

i lowkey vibed throughout this entire album. big 90’s rap jammer here. i think “911 is a joke” was one of my favorites. not download-worthy but still a fun listen. this album was an hour long but went by SO UNBELIEVABLY QUICK. i liked the transitions from song to song — this album almost felt like one continuous track. bravo! 4/5.

listened to the non-deluxe version because that was the only available one. not really my type of album and i honestly found it odd that it was classified as pop. especially considering after i listened to this album airbuds told me i was the top listener on the app for tomorrow tom. i felt the long version of “genius of love” was an unnecessary addition (considering the short version sucked too). thankful i didn’t have access to the deluxe version. 1/5.

“can’t let go” was goated. also “joy” was pretty good. i wasn’t expecting a lot from this album. but it was surprisingly good. it was like the country equivalent of pop rock! not my usual genre of choice, but still enjoyable. the album cover was really pretty too (though that doesn’t factor into my rating). 4/5!

“a hard day’s night” was a part of our marching band’s beatles medley so i liked it lmaooo. “if i fell” was good too!! not much to say other than i enjoyed this! 4/5.
