4/5

Really great and powerful sounding album. Lots of great songs.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

It's a good sounding album. Passenger was probably my favorite track. I would listen to it again, but it didn't stand out immediately.

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

I what pleasantly surprised. I only knew the title track, but which I don’t love. It’s a good sounding album. He’s a great singer. All the songs are decent to good. I probably won’t seek it out again. That was my 5th album.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

3/5

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

This album sounds so big and monumental. I love the instrumentals.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

4/5

This is a very pretty sounding album. Every song is decent. I really liked a few songs. It's not particularly interesting to me tho, and definitely not groundbreaking. it's great for what it is. It has beautiful vocals and instrumentals.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

2/5

I found it boring to listen to and too long. Early hip hop is tough to get into.

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Raekwon

2/5

I found it boring and it's too long.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

This is a very groovy instrumental album. I love how all the different samples work together. The drums sound great. There aren't any stand out classic songs that would push it to a five, though.

Play

Moby

3/5

Good album. South Side is my favorite track on it.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

It has a couple great classics.

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

Suede

2/5

It's okay. It sounds dated. Reminds me of the Smiths. I just dont find it very interesting. There are no stand out songs for me.

Melodrama

Lorde

5/5

I love this album. My favorite song on it is Homeade Dynamite, but there a several great ones.

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

3/5

It's a great album to try out headphones with. It's atmospheric and the instruments sound great. It feels more like a playlist tho. I guess Nitin is more of a composer or producer. I really liked the 4 songs Tides- Serpents and wished there was more of that. I dont know what language the woman was "rapping" in, but I liked it. I did not like the English language songs as much and did not get the nuclear war theme.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

I dislike the vocals

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

I love Ray Charles singing

Marquee Moon

Television

5/5

I hear so much of my favorite current music in this album. It feels so modern and timeless for the seventies. It is some of my favorite guitar work. The title track is definitely the stand out.

All Directions

The Temptations

4/5

This is a fun Motown album. Papa was a rolling stone was a very funk son. The full 12 min had very cool instrumentals. I loved the wah effects Mother Nature is a great song. The vocals sound very powerful. The rest is nice, but not that interesting or catchy to me. The rest of the album was a little slow and straight up for my taste. Do the Thing is funky and grooving. I dig the horns and bassline.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Complex, cinematic, and scene-building—“storytelling with sound design” Big beat energy, rock/electronic crossovers, evolving structures Standouts: “Block Rockin’ Beats,” “Setting Sun,” “Where Do I Begin,” “The Private Psychedelic Reel” Deeply impressive, even if not personally defining; could grow or settle in time

Dog Man Star

Suede

The Rolling Stones

Maxwell

3/5

I'm not sure about this. It's got a a typical dad rock sound. It reminds me a little of ACDC, but has a very different mood.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

2/5

Im not going to listen to this again. Not very memorable or intersting. Maybe I jsut didnt get it. It's some epic longer songs with classic rock souns. not very bluesy. It's theatrical and glammy. 2/5
