Hail To the Thief
Radiohead
Great start but with a lot of disappointing songs after the first three.
Definitely not nearly as great as other radiohead albums

With The Beatles
Beatles
Pleasant to listen to, cute songs but really nothing special

Mar 28 2025
Raw Power
The Stooges
Really didn't like the mixing on this album, could barely hear anything except a wailing guitar.
Possibly listened to the wrong (Bowie) mix.
There's probably something enjoyable here, but not with this mix

Back In Black
AC/DC
Fun rock album, not very deep and they don't seem to take themselves very seriously.
Some stinkers on here but also some definite classics like back in black and you shook me all night long.

Since I Left You
The Avalanches
Classic plunderphonics album. It feels like going on a journey/cruise. You go to different places, different emotions and feelings. Paints a beautiful picture

Le Tigre
Le Tigre
I had quite some fun with the album but it felt like a lot of the lyrics were quite outdated.
All of the names in songs weren't familiar to me at all and I felt like i missed the messages they were going for.

Shake Your Money Maker
The Black Crowes
Fine rock album, pleasant listen without many bad songs.
Nothing too inspiring or revolutionary though
4
Apr 02 2025
Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret
Soft Cell
Felt like a huge breath of fresh air, surprisingly experimental for a pop album.
Really enjoyed the opening songs and the overall concept of someone being so bothered with being ordinary that they're going off the deep end with everything. Very British.
Some songs toward the end do drag on a bit much for my taste and get instrumentally less interesting

Apr 03 2025
Ys
Joanna Newsom
Beautiful instrumentation, extremely unique voice.
Felt like it belonged to a medieval times.
Not perfect, but its not possible to give something 4.5 Stars so it gets 5 from me
5
Apr 04 2025
Bad
Michael Jackson
A lot of really amazing hits, the deeper cuts dont always reach the same level but the hits are amazing enough to the point where it doesn't matter much
5
Apr 05 2025
Natty Dread
Bob Marley & The Wailers
Pleasant as background music, active listening made me think of better versions of songs on here. The live version of no woman no cry really beats the album version.
Had a decent time, but i know there is a lot better reggae
3
Apr 06 2025
Tidal
Fiona Apple
Really pleasant listen, a lot of really good songs and not really any bad ones. Nothing that blew me away though
4
Apr 07 2025
Vincebus Eruptum
Blue Cheer
First two songs sound decent, probably because they are covers.
The rest genuinely sounds bad to me.

Apr 08 2025
Led Zeppelin II
Led Zeppelin
Very solid rock album that did stand out a level above the other ones.
But at the same time not too many mindblowing moments
4
Apr 09 2025
Kings Of The Wild Frontier
Adam & The Ants
I saw a review describe this album as 'penis music' and its oddly descriptive of the feeling of listening to this album.
I had a weirdly good time with it, even though I wouldn't necessarily call it good

Apr 10 2025
Peter Gabriel 3
Peter Gabriel
I didn't really like the album the first time i listened to it, quite experimental and unique.
Then i listened to it a second time and it fell into place quite well and I enjoyed it a lot.

Apr 11 2025
Broken English
Marianne Faithfull
From the other reviews it sounds like this was a 'you had to be there' type of album where it was really good and influential at the time.
For me it was a relatively boring album with a couple of highlights such as 'broken English'
She definitely has a unique voice, but everything surrounding it was nothing special
3
Apr 12 2025
We Are Family
Sister Sledge
One of the best disco albums with hit after hit. It's honestly impressive how many huge songs are in here.
There's not a bad song in here and the highs are incredibly high.
5
Apr 13 2025
Club Classics Vol. One
Soul II Soul
Very enjoyable, great grooves and female vocals. I can imagine this being a huge success in clubs around this time.
The raps on certain songs are definitely very bad, but are at least very funny.
Back to life is an incredible song
4
Apr 14 2025
Urban Hymns
The Verve
It's not bad music, and there should definitely be a huge audience for it, but it's really not for me.
It sounds a little bit like 'radiohead at home' without the huge peaks and experimentation, giving me quite the genetic and boring listen.
Songs like bittersweet symphony and the drugs don't work are definite highlights
3
Apr 15 2025
A Rush Of Blood To The Head
Coldplay
The first half of this album is honestly not bad and definitely overhated.
The scientist and clocks are decent songs and the album has a good vibe to it.
Then it just keeps going needlessly. I feel like this album could have been quite good if they were able to cut the fat from it.
2
Apr 16 2025
Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim
Frank Sinatra
Pleasant to listen to and doesn't overstay it's welcome.
Putting Frank Sinatra over bossa nova was a great decision.
It does feel quite dated/like music that would be played in a retirement home

The Köln Concert
Keith Jarrett
It's probably really good piano playing but I'm not a musician so i feel like i dont have the ear for it.
The random audience noises are hilarious

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
A Tribe Called Quest
Not the best tribe album but still really excellent.
Great beat selection and fun bars, absolute classic

Rock 'N Soul
Solomon Burke
Very nice listen, especially for the time period. Quite clear how this would have inspired quite a lot of different artists.

Halcyon Digest
Deerhunter
Very distorted and beautiful album, something to zone off to, rather than actively listen.
Songs do blend together a little bit, but to me this enhances the experience

Unknown Pleasures
Joy Division
Amazing riffs in this album, very interesting and dark sounds.
Honestly just loved jamming out to it, even though that probably wasn't necessarily the intention
5
Apr 22 2025
Nevermind
Nirvana
Eerlijk gezegd had ik meer verwacht van dit album. Het was zeker goed en de grote hits zijn echte highlights, maar veel van de deep cuts zijn niet echt mijn ding. De vaak onbegrijpelijke teksten en opgeblazen instrumenten hitten niet altijd.
Ik heb het gevoel dat ik misschien gewoon niet angsty genoeg ben, of gewoon geen puber meer ben die zich identificeert met de teksten.
De highlights zijn wel echt heel goed though dus alsnog 4/5

Apr 23 2025
Exit Planet Dust
The Chemical Brothers
Ijzersterk begin, de eerste 3-4 tracks gaan heerlijk in elkaar over. Het voelt alsof ik naar een erg goede DJ set luister en in het publiek sta om mee te genieten.
De tweede helft heeft gevoeligere en rustigere nummers, hier zit een goed nummer tussen, maar de meeste zijn helaas teleurstellend
3
Apr 24 2025
Heroes to Zeros
The Beta Band
Ik heb eerlijk gezegd niet veel gedachten bij dit album, het is niet per se slecht maar wel heel erg forgettable. Ik heb het album nu meerdere keren geluisterd en herinner me nog steeds bijna niks.
Alles voelde decent maar middelmatig, geen echt uitblinkers en wel een aantal slechte nummers zoals space beatle
2
Apr 25 2025
Music From The Penguin Cafe
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Een album met oprecht goede instrumentale nummers, vooral de lange nummers zijn highlights.
Persoonlijke favoriet is 'the sound of someone you love going away and it doesn't matter'
Ik was van plan dit album een 4/5 te geven maar de zopf tracks zijn aanzienlijk minder in kwaliteit. zopf milk was zo slecht dat ik het een punt minder moest geven.
Het klinkt ergens een beetje als muziek die k/ms zou maken
3
Apr 26 2025
3 Feet High and Rising
De La Soul
Classic rap album, heel veel verschillende geweldige samples, zo enorm veel highlights op dit album.
Je kan horen dat ze gewoon aan het genieten waren met alle skits en vage nummers.
Misschien niet voor iedereen, maar zeker wel voor mij
5
Apr 27 2025
The Who Sell Out
The Who
Komisch album, leuke stukjes ertussenin alsof het een vaag radiostation is.
Oprecht een aantal goede nummers hier en zeker niet slecht voor de tijd. Erg creatief ook met nummers zoals 'tattoo' waar hij een tattoo zet om mannelijk te zijn en vervolgens trots is op zijn vrouw met tattoos.
Het was eventjes wennen maar ik vond het uiteindelijk nog best goed
4
Apr 28 2025
Chirping Crickets
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Very fine album, it's short and sweet and doesn't drag too long.
The songs don't get too repetitive either, but for the time I'd rather listen to other artists.
The sound also sounds quite dated unfortunately, though I'm sure this was amazing if you were there for it
3
Apr 29 2025
Maggot Brain
Funkadelic
It's maggot Brain, already loved this album way before starting this and enjoying it even more while listening to it.
Maggot grab brain is an 11/10 song for me and the rest goes very hard too. Incredible stuff, loved it

Kick Out The Jams (Live)
MC5
Who Let Mickey Mouse into their band in the first song...
Past that there were multiple moments where the band felt like a punk version of 'acdc at home'
It really wasn't for me, even though musically it's probably not terrible

Purple Rain

Easy 5/5
Geen slecht nummer in het hele album en verschillende geweldige nummers. Er zijn goede redenen dat dit gezien wordt als een van de beste albums ooit.

Off The Wall
Michael Jackson
Another classic album, my personal favourite Michael Jackson album as well.
5
May 03 2025
Smash
The Offspring
Dit is een volwassen man die gepassioneerd als een tiener zingt en voor tieners/pubers schrijft. Welke volwassen man is nog steeds geobsedeerd met edgy woorden/high school.
De mix/productie is daarnaast vrij slecht waardoor alle instrumenten modderig en onhelder klinken.
Ik wilde dit oprecht niet nog eens luisteren, kon ook geen goed nummer vinden hier
1
May 04 2025
L'Eau Rouge
The Young Gods
Bizar album eerlijk gezegd, Zwitsers Franse industriële rock met orkest samples.
Toch heeft het me wel gepakt op bepaalde momenten, de viezigheid en het oncomfortabele gevoel dat sommige nummers je geven is erg uniek en waardeer ik zeker.
Ik denk dat dit nog hoger uit zou kunnen komen met meer tijd. Ook moet ik zeggen dat de latere bands deze stijl echt perfectioneren, waardoor het moeilijker is om dit album te waarderen voor wat het is
3
May 05 2025
Safe As Milk
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Best een prima album, een aantal highlights voor mij zoals im glad en call on me. Tegelijkertijd is veel van het album best verouderd zoals de zang op bepaalde nummers.
Ook is de productie niet geweldig en kon ik zelfs met mijn koptelefoon niet altijd alles goed verstaan. Begrijpelijk voor de tijd, maar alsnog genoeg voor een minpunt
3
May 06 2025
Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
The Flaming Lips
Really enjoyed this, took me on a journey and i'm sure this will grow on me even more as I keep listening to it.
4/5 for now, but probably will reach 5/5 when I get a chance to really listen to it a lot

May 07 2025
Midnight Ride
Paul Revere & The Raiders
Veel nummers hebben potentie maar halen toch niet het niveau wat het lijkt te beloven.
Weinig uitblinkers, veel relatief gemiddelde nummers.

May 08 2025
Imagine
John Lennon
Really debating between 3 and 4.
There's definitely good stuff on here, but none of it reaches the same highs as any later beatles albums.
Oh Yoko puts it down to a 3 I think. Also 'how do you sleep'is just such A weak diss by today's standards
3
May 09 2025
Gold
Ryan Adams
Het is niet per se slechte muziek, maar aan het einde wilde ik het album niet nog eens luisteren. Het was zo genoeg Ryan Adams voor mij.
Misschien is het gewoon echt mijn smaak niet, misschien is het gewoon saai. Daarvoor zou ik het opnieuw moeten luisteren, maar dat wil ik niet :)

Prachtige stem met veel gevarieerde nummers

Foxbase Alpha
Saint Etienne
Heerlijke auto muziek, luistert lekker weg en vraagt niet te veel van de luisteraar.
Ik heb wel het gevoel dat als bepaalde nummers ietsje korter waren het een betere ervaring is, Alhoewel dat vaak een probleem van dit genre is

At Mister Kelly's

Erg goede live recording, glasheldere sound.
Er zijn niet echt nummertjes die heel erg uitblinken, maar het is een prettige luisterervaring

May 14 2025
Moondance
Van Morrison
Goede productie en gevarieerde instrumentatie. Ik ben niet de grootste fan van zijn stem/stijl van muziek maar moon dance was echt erg goed.
Vooral de latere nummers vallen tegen in verhouding tot de eerste 3-4 in het album

May 15 2025
Boy In Da Corner
Dizzee Rascal
Originally really didn't like it, until i gave it a couple More listens. This album is surprisingly experimental for the time and I can definitely imagine this being the start of a genre.
Still not my favorite album ever, but definitely enjoyable and some sold tracks here
4
May 16 2025
Moving Pictures
Rush
I tend to really like progressive rock albums a lot, however this one seems to be an exception. A lot of this album is 'just alright' and not as experimental or progressive as a lot of the classic albums of this genre are.
especially the longer songs really suffer here and are a slog to get through.
Still not bad at all, just not as great as it could've been
3
May 17 2025
Surfer Rosa
Pixies
Definitely understand that this was incredibly influential and inspiring for a lot of punk bands afterwards, and it definitely has quite a lot of qualities.
A lot of the riffs are Solid, the drums good and the general energy very effective. That being said its also just really not the type of Music I currently love.
Might enjoy it more later, but 3/5 for now
3
May 18 2025
Who Killed...... The Zutons?
The Zutons
Most songs on here have something to really love, an enjoyable bass line, good drumming or a funky moment with the sax. That being said, most songs also have something I actively dislike, a weird chorus or strange word choices.
In the end an oddly enjoyable but middling experience, I really feel like this could have been amazing but falls just short time and time again.

May 19 2025
Planet Rock: The Album
Afrika Bambaataa
Hiphop albums are underrepresented and overhated on this app. A lot of classics get tons of bad reviews from rock/pop fans.
Unfortunately this is one of the albums that really didn't pass the test of time. An album I'd recommend for hip-hop heads who want to know about its origins, but never as someone's first.
Some alright songs, and solid for the time, but really dated. You can hear where later acts will do better
3
May 21 2025
Back to Basics
Christina Aguilera
It's an interesting double album for Pop standards, though i personally preferred the first half over the second.
The first half has great production and incredible vocal performances. Her vocal abilities however, tend to be both a blessing and a curse, a lot of songs would be a lot stronger if she held back a little bit and let the song speak for itself.
The second half is a lot less my taste, and becomes less enjoyable for it.

Tonight's The Night

I was ready to absolutely hate this album and describe it as 'dad music'. I was right about the dad music part, but the album honestly wasnt bad at all. There were multiple great parts, even though it doesn't have my preference

Very muddy sound for most of this album, not sure if they are being ironic or not on multiple songs.
Generally didn't enjoy most of this

May 28 2025
The Predator
Ice Cube
Excellent album, topics are still relevant and the little skits in-between songs encapsulate the general responses to his music.
It's quite ironic that a lot of the reviews on here mention things like the swearing/violence making then dislike it

If this was an instrumental album I could have maybe given it a 4, but I really can't take the vocals seriously.
I had a fun time but every time the singer opened his mouth I couldn't help but laugh

Enjoyed it, didn't love it. But also definitely not my favourite genre

Jun 06 2025
Murmur
R.E.M.
An album that feels quite outdated by today's standards. It's possible this is a Beatles/beach boys situation where their sound is copied so much that it doesn't sound as special anymore, even though at the time it created the opportunity for sounds like this to exist

Smile
Brian Wilson
Has a Couple of great moments but also a lot of aged ones. Nooit my favorite Beach boys album and they're not my favourite band either.
This album is one whose story is more interesting than the album itself. Also an incredibly fitting album for the day Brian died.
Musically i might give this album a 3/5, but for the story and the respect for the artist is a 4

A lot of improvements compared to the debut album and a lot more enjoyable. Still feels like a bit of a relic of its time.

Country Life
Roxy Music
Every song has things or choices to enjoy/like and there is a lot of variety on here. That being said, almost every song also has a completely baffling choice in it that makes the song significantly worse.
Still an overall decent experience

Made In Japan
Deep Purple
Live albums are difficult to rate when going through an experience like this. Normally when you discover an artist, then you only listen to the live albums when you already love the albums before it. The familiarity with the music makes the live performance amazing as you can tell the quality of the musicianship more at times.
However through this challenge a live album gets thrown at you without any context of the previous albums. Meaning that is you listened to and loved the previous deep purple albums, you'll love this. However if you didn't, you probably won't get what this is about
For my experience it was mostly new music with some familiar tunes which were excellently performed. In general the album is very solid and the recording is quite decent for a live performance.
If i was more familiar with the band's discography I would have probably loved this, but since I'm not it was mostly just good with some real lows (did we really need minutes of drum solo on the mule)
3
Jun 17 2025
Get Behind Me Satan
The White Stripes
Surprisingly did not like this much at all. I normale quite enjoy anything Jack White, but the marimba and weird choices in songs caught me off guard constantly in a negative way.
You can still appreciate the talent, but it's not for me
2
Jun 18 2025
Penance Soiree
The Icarus Line
Honestly very overrated on this app. It's a decently enjoyable punk album where they get noisy on quite some early songs.
Punk isn't really a genre i generally enjoy so i didn't love it, but that doesn't decrease any quality of it
3
Jun 19 2025
Superunknown
Soundgarden
I enjoyed it quite a decent amount however its really not the music I prefer from them. Audioslave does a lot of these themes a lot better in my opinion.
The strongest tracks for me are the slower ones like black hole sun

At Fillmore East
The Allman Brothers Band
Pretty fun blues rock live album. You can tell a lot of the people in the band are having a great time.
In general this is quite successful except for the guitar player that takes up too much space regularly.

Jun 21 2025
War
U2
I didn't hate the songs as much as i expected. There were some solid ones in the, even though i generally don't like U2.
I was going to give it 3/5, but the 2008 mix/remaster is genuinely horrible. The drums are muddy and barely audible. I might've liked it a lot more on CD
2
Jun 22 2025
Red Dirt Girl
Emmylou Harris
Not bad, but also feels dated for the time period. Supposedly her first self written album, which makes me wonder why she was popular until now
2

Rattlesnakes
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Perfectly passable music that gets little emotion or feeling from me
2
Jun 24 2025
The Downward Spiral
Nine Inch Nails
It's a perfect album to me. It does exactly what it wants to achieve, with no choices that don't fit it's goal. You might not like it, or feel it's too challenging, but you can't deny how it manages to make you feel, or the way it portraits mental illness.
Past that, this is a seriously groundbreaking album, the intensity and mix between rock/industrial sounds/ambient music/techno is really interesting. An album people should experience, though many will say it's not for them

A theater kid who is a big Radiohead fan. Not something for me honestly, it often feels very very derivative and when it doesn't it sounds insane

Bluesbreakers
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
There's some occasional talent to buy found by the musicians on here, especially Eric Clapton. The vocals are quite weak and the drumming is mediocre (don't get me started on the drum solo)
The songs in the beginning sound unique and fun, until you realize that that's how most of the songs sound
2

ZZ Top
Quite some fun, la grange is obviously an amazing song.

Beautiful voices and sweet and vulnerable lyrics.
Quite some highlights on here on the lyrical front.
That being said, im not too familiar with the two artists outside of dolly Parton, and I wasn't able to properly recognize who was singing.

Couple of great songs in here with tiny dancer and rotten peaches, but everything else mostly melds together into one for me.

Jul 01 2025
Out Of The Blue
Electric Light Orchestra
Very unique album, feels like a theater kid's dream. If listened to in parts it's very distinct and enjoyable, especially act 1 and mr Blue Sky stood out to me.
But it you listen to it in 1 full go, the songs start to blend together into eachother and the album starts feeling very long

Good songwriter and interesting lyrics, really pulls you in.
Just really not what I want from music and not for me. I can imagine that if you're really into quality songwriting over sparse instrumentals that you'll love this.

Jul 04 2025
Nothing's Shocking
Jane's Addiction
I really didn't enjoy this much at all. The instrumentals were mostly fine and relatively enjoyable, but the vocals were really not too my taste. I struggled to finish it, though that's also due to me not loving this type of music

Cross
Justice
Perfect opener with some mind-blowing transitions between songs.
There are some duds on the tracklist, who really stand out because the rest is so good.
Still an essential listen to anyone who likes electronic music/house that's a little dark and gritty
5
Jul 08 2025

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
Pink Floyd
You can really tell this is early work from a band that hasn't really found it's groove. I feel like they're trying too many things at the same time, but not all of them are really working for me.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Definitely very solid, with some nice vocals and soft instrumentals.
Still it doesn't leave much of a mark on me personally, though I can appreciate quite some of it.
3
Jul 11 2025
Traffic
Traffic
It feels, like many rock albums in the 60s, cursed by the fact that the Beatles were as huge as they were.
A lot of songs on here would stand out, if it wasn't for the fact that I feel the Beatles are just better at everything they do. It makes it harder to appreciate the album for what it is.
To me it seemed like a reasonable album, some good songs but nothing outstanding
3

The Beatles influence is extremely audible but the talent is often lacking a little bit. They get some of the melodies, but miss the songwriting chops.
Overall still not bad at all, just a bit derivative.

Jul 14 2025
Here Come The Warm Jets
Brian Eno
Certainly avantgarde, a lot of really bizarre choices that just don't work on first listen at all, but when it goes on for a little longer i appreciate it a bit.
Still not my favorite, but a fun album to listen to once, definitely deserving of this list

Jul 15 2025
Doggystyle
Snoop Dogg
Very solid production choices, especially this early in his career. He seems to already have a very solid understanding of his tone and relaxed flow, a distinct Style which will grow iconic a lot later in his career.
Lyrics leave quite a bit to be desired. This is absolutely a sound over substance record, and the sound is great, but i dont necessarily see myself returning to this record regularly, even though its great

Honestly extremely lovely. Incredible voice for the time and a fun and varied album. There are barely any, if any at all, bad songs on this album and multiple greats.
The clicking song is great fun, but also slower softer songs go great. Not at all what I expected, but I loved it

The Rolling Stones
Not the most unique sound, although that might be because this became very popular later. Some great stuff at the beginning, but especially their slow songs or percussion heavy songs leave a lot to be desired.
At the end of the album i love it a lot less than when i started it

At Folsom Prison
Johnny Cash
Goes to play a live performance in a prison, nice and uplifting for the prisoners...
Al song are about being stuck in prison or getting the death penalty.
The prisoners seem to love it, it's a wonderful time to listen to it, then trying to make him laugh is another great touch.

Scum
Napalm Death
Honestly thought this would be a lot worse. Extremely intense drumming for short songs with often unintelligible lyrics drowned out by the drumming.
It's intense, abrasive and surprisingly punk. Not necessarily what I would listen to myself, but I didn't hate it at all

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
It's not necessarily bad or anything, but to me it just really bored me very quickly.
I think it's a combination of how old it sounds and how limited the instrumentation is most of the time.
Just really not for me

Generally great music with a singer who sings just a little bit too over the top many times.

Gang Of Four
Damaged Goods is an incredible song and the influence of this band is really clear.
Its just something i dont see myself coming back to as a full album experience.

There's just not really any misses on here at all. Everything flows together well and it forms a very complete package. Nothing to really dislike

1999
Prince
It's still quite good, what else would it be, but I feel a lack of cohesion in this album and a slight lack of quality control. The sex noises definitely weren't required for me.
But with a single like 1999 you really can't go wrong.

Aftermath

Paint it Black is really great, however every other song afterwards fell flat for me. There were a lot of questionable lyrics and odd choices. I can imagine it was really good at the time, but nowadays there's just so much better out there

Youth And Young Manhood
Kings of Leon
It's a solid groovy time with decent tunes, but it feels very derivative of other bands and sounds.
A more southern/stones inspired 'the strokes' is what it sounds like to me. Not bad at all but it wears it's influences a little too close to its sleeve for me

Great raps, Classic feeling production with unique Japanese movie samples. At times is missing some punch for my taste but overall extremely solid record

Van Halen
Van Halen
Honestly felt very classic in sound. A lot of timeless songs that still sound good today.
I knew about eruption and knew that it was very famous, but honestly didn't like it that much on this album. I'm sure that if you're a musician/guitar player that it's very impressive and cool, but as a more casual listener it's a bit too much

Your Arsenal
Morrissey
If I heard any of the songs in isolation I'd probably think that they were quite decent, but as a whole package it doesn't do much for me.
Songs blend together a little bit and generally don't ever Wow me

The Band

It's quite interesting that they're making music whose lyrics fit an earlier time in US history, made me think when it was made.
But in regards to content it didn't really amaze me much, especially after hearing similar albums for the last couple of days

Quite enjoying the British folk music compared to the American folk albums we've had so far.
However it didn't make me feel like returning to it later.

Layla was great, the rest was a lot less good. The singer was also missing some vocal ability to really make the songs on here work

Come Away With Me
Norah Jones
A nice change of pace, but not something that drew me in much. I dont think i would seek this album of over other similar pop albums of the time

Cafe Bleu
The Style Council
Very fun and enjoyable first half, and then you get to a gospel where a white guy in the late 80s starts rapping poorly.
From this point onwards the album tries a lot of different things, but to me never really reaches the highs of the first half

Illmatic
Nas
Absolute rap classic. Great ear for production and incredibly lyrical ability for his age and the time. There are not many better rap albums out there.
Saw some reviews mention how the album is too violent for them, which is bizarre to me as there's relatively little violence in here. The lyrics portray an image of a gritty and dark New York, and doesn't glorify it in any way. It feels closer to either a description of the world around him, as a cautionary tale, or as a political album, inspired by Malcolm x and MLK.
This album is not more violent than any political punk or metal album. (Which the same reviewers often rate highly)

Dog Man Star
Suede
Quite some fun instrumental climaxes on multiple of the tracks here, but many others keep a very slow and nothing vibe.
Not a big fan of the singer in general, and when the instrumental is sparse it really feels like nothing much is happening.
Has some good moments, but as an overall product it feels lacking.
2,5/5

Everything here sounds really solid and cohesive.

Crocodiles
Echo And The Bunnymen
Seems very influential to be, but also something that has been so far surpassed, that it aged somewhat poorly.
Still a decent listen, but most likely not as impactful as it would've been when it came out

The Sensual World
Kate Bush
It's difficult to describe this album properly. It's quite beautiful at times, but at the same time there's quite some choices i do not understand at all.
I think i would understand a lot more with multiple future listens, but for now I'm not too sure what to give it. 4 stars seems fitting, not because of how much i necessarily enjoyed it, but because of how much I want to listen to it more

The College Dropout
Kanye West
This is not my favorite Kanye album, its also not perfect (breathe in breathe out is not as great as many others and the skits get tiring on multiple listens), but it's still an amazing time.
Incredible production, innovative bars and tracks. This album paved the way for so many new rappers that wanted to tell different stories.
Honestly most kanye albums should be on this list due to influence alone, but im Happy that at least this one made it
