Electric Warrior

3/5

Really wanted to like this album more but I couldn't. Feels like its my jam but it never really hits that point that sends it up for me. Stand out tracks: Mambo Sun, Get it On, Life's A Gas

I See A Darkness

Bonnie "Prince" Billy

4/5

The kind of whiny, sad album I like. In the same vein as Benji or A Crow Looked At Me, just 16 years earlier. This will be one of those albums that you either like or hate.

Arrival

ABBA

Loved Robert Plant's vocals on th- I MEAN KEITH RELF'S VOCALS ON THIS

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

3/5

Beginning and ending were good; sagged in the middle

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

My favorite Zep album. It's got all the big hits and all the experimental demos. Shit hits from front to back. Ez 5 star

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

4/5

Didn't really expect to like this so much, but it fucks from start to finish. A dozen short, slick, hard-hitting tracks. Chester Bennington's lyrics are the driving force of the album and his vocals are supposed to be a big draw, but I found him annoying to listen to at times. Still a solid 4/5

Berlin

Lou Reed

3/5

The bizarre wailing at the beginning made me think I was in Discord with Josh Ash, hut the rest of the album is listenable.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Small Faces

4/5

Can't believe i never heard of this

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

It was fine

Brothers

The Black Keys

4/5

This is a pretty good album but i dont have much to say about it

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Never listened to a Beck album before. Or any Beck really. Was really surprised at how good this was. Very sad + moving lyrics. Apparently, this album is out of the norm for him, historically speaking. I am now wondering what his work before and after this sounds like

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

5/5

I had a B. B. King tee shirt growing up but never actually listened to him (fake fan). Biggest mistake of my life. At first I thought that Led Zeppelin might have stolen It's My Own Fault and used it to make Since I Been Lovin' You, but I think all blues rock probably just sounds like that

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

1/5

This album was released before 2025 so it's shit

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Listened to this on a car trip yesterday and remember liking it, but I don't really remember anything about it. 2.5 stars I guess. Rounding up to 3

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

Wasn't at all familiar with The Offspring. Really punky and fun album. Lots of swearing :'(

The Joshua Tree

3/5

Only heard U2's singles before, and never thought much of them. This album was front loaded with 3 of their biggest singles, and all the rest was totally unfamiliar. Turns out that's the more interesting stuff! Not terribly interesting, but a solid 3/5

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Jamaican jerk-off was the best gay orgy that Elton John ever threw!

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Was teetering towards a 3/5 in the middle, but the last 2 tracks really fuck. Ez 4/5

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

I really appreciated this on a technical level, but I didn't like it

Yoko Ono SUCKS

London Calling

5/5

Very eclectic sound that I appreciated. I always thought this album was just straight up punk, but it only has this punk element woven throughout the album's songs. Very, very good. Might even listen again

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

4/5

Always meant to listen to this album because BIG 100.3 plays the Live at Budokan version of "I Want You to Want Me". Pretty good album.

Justified

Justin Timberlake

3/5

I mean, this sucked but it's also fine? I'm not a tween girl so I didn't care for most of the lyrical content. But it's the fuckin' Neptunes producing most of the album. It SOUNDS great! But it isn't great at the same time. I'm just not the target demographic for this music. I also fucking cannot stand Rock Your Body. Worst single J Timbers ever made. I guess I'll give this 3 stars.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

CCR fuckin' rules

Ray Of Light

5/5

The Whale holds a special place in my heart. This album is golden

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

1/5

I listened to most of this but skipped the last 2 tracks. I mean, it's reggae music. This album is up front about what it is. "Legalize It". I probably didn't need to listen to a single track from this. Idk, it just isn't my jam. Sorry, Mr. Tosh.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

1/5

Gave up on this after 4 songs. Bland as saltines

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

2/5

This was okay. I didn't listen to the whole thing tho. A TRIPLE album??? That's asking a lot. Sorry, George.

New Forms

Roni Size

4/5

I love DNB so frickin' much even if half the tracks sound exactly the same

Pump

Aerosmith

4/5

They were really horny when they made this one

Violent Femmes

4/5

Violent Femmes's singer has that midwestern vocal fry that I've come to love in Modern Baseball's Jake Ewald and the group have the sonic stylings of Iceage (this album gave me Plowing Into The Field of Love vibes). This is clearly the precursor to shit that I REALLY love. 4/5

Odelay

Beck

3/5

I feel like Beck is love-him-or-hate-him kinda guy but I'm in the middle about him. I get that he's pretty musically talented and can play all these instruments and stuff. But I just don't "get" him. idk.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

Yeah, this was good. Nothing too interesting or groundbreaking tho

Miriam Makeba

5/5

A genuinely enriching and engaging cultural experience

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

5/5

This rocked. Hard 5

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

3/5

This album is just a few bangers and then at the end a sound clip from a news broadcast thats like "a gunman in Idaho killed 27 school kids"

4/5

I like Damon Albarn Gorillaz man :)

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Reallly good album

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

A generally pleasant album with an Americana feel that I can't really relate to

Elvis Presley

4/5

I think I am genetically predisposed to enjoy Elvis

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

Alanis Morissette is really fuckin' angry for most of this album. And I LOVE a good "I'm angry" album.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

1/5

I wish the music had died sooner

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

2/5

This was fine on its own, but I feel like I need more context to really get a lot out of this. This was recorded in a time that the artists were ousted from their town because of a war in their home country of Mali, and I'm sure the lyrics are probably about that but I don't understand any of it. Sonically, very little about this seems to be distinct from American Black blues music, so I'm not getting a Malian feel from that either. Still a 2/5, but I think it could be a 4 or even a 5 if I did the homework to understand this better. Paradoxically, though, I don't really want to do homework.

Jeff Buckley

4/5

Compelling music from a young gentleman with a distinct voice who, unfortunately, never learned how to swim

3/5

Bittersweet Symphony is a jam for sure. When I saw that their other singles had WAY more listens I was intrigued, as I had never heard of any of the songs. Kind of a let down. Album was a 3/5 in the end.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

Moby Dick is referenced by the character Lana on the animated show Archer. Then another character by the name of Krieger says Bonham was a pussy (Krieger is a massie Rush fan)

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

Didn't get much out of this. The last song was nice. Also there's 2 Thom Yorke features and one the first one, he just sort of moans and wails for a bit ovwr the track. Made me giggle when I realized that was going to be the extent of his contribution.

Goo

Sonic Youth

3/5

I have seen the album cover for this dozens of times because i would often type in "goo" to my browser's address bar and then press Enter and sometimes I would stroke the key (no homo) before the browser autofilled "google.com" and the browser would return this Sonic Youth album as the result every time. Never listened to it but was always curious just because I saw it so often. It's good.
