Boston

5/5

I haven't listened to this album since I was a teenager (car accident day). It really slapped. I knew basically every song.

The last few songs really pop and show why Bowie became an icon

Carole King

3/5

Lots of iconic songs

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Not my favorite Bowie but still Bowie

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

2/5

She's not for me

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Definitely him finding his sound. One standout track and the rest are the sound he didn't find. I'd listen to Solsburu Hills again but skip the full album

Moon Safari

Cool vibes album. I'd listen to it as a "lofi" beats style album

4/5

More lofi than I expected

Mylo

3/5

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

Truly an all timer. Over half the album was on their greatest hits.

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

Better than I expected even if it isn't my absolute favorite. Brought back some nice nostalgia

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Didn't listen closely but it is 90% bangers

Brilliant Corners
