thought this was a joke at first. sounded like Sgt Pepper on meth.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

2/5

Good beats, wack lyrics. It's like erkle rapping over dilla.

Getz/Gilberto

couldn't tell you where the first song ended or the second song began. felt like one long soothing song.

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

good beats, no substance. gimme something to sink my teeth into. this is mall store music.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

The Residents

1/5

Ducking Stab me in the ears with a #2 pencil. can I give it half a star?

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

There's a reason you only know the 3 great songs that are on this album. And they are truly great songs. But there are only 3 of them...

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

though I prefer the Concert in Central Park versions of BoTW and The Boxer, this album is outstanding.

The World is a Ghetto

War

2/5

funky and fine. sounds like the era it was made in. my mind took a walk through 70's Harlem while listening to this album.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

2/5

it's fine background 80's music. nothing stands out. kinda boring, effortless writing...both musically and lyrically.

The White Room

The KLF

2/5

pretty sure i heard this album at abercrombie & fitch in the 00's. mindless drum machine wanking.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

though i prefer the live versions of these songs, this is an outstanding album. as david lee roth once said, "Bob Marley is the sound of white people on vacation."

Van Halen

5/5

it's perfect from beginning to end. Dave's soaring screams and outstanding lyrics. Mike's thumping bass and beach boy harmonies, Alex's restless drumming and Eddie's guitar assault. This is the one that declared disco dead and changed the game. =VH= Forever

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

Soothing with a good mix of tempo changes. Probably my favorite Radiohead album.

All That You Can't Leave Behind

3/5

if i didn't know better, i'd think this was a greatest hits album. say what you will about them, but U2 has a deep, impressive catalog of smash hits. this album puts me in a good mood whenever i hear it.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

2/5

i'm sure this is good if you like bluegrass.

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

2/5

not for me, mate. dude just keeps whining...

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

disco is fun to listen to, and this is one of the best disco albums of all time. enjoy.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

ill comm is my favorite BBoys album. put it on, crank it up and get lost in it.

Boston

4/5

stacked with great songs you already know all the words to. turn it up and sing along!

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

1/5

they spent more time working out the song titles than they did the actual songs.

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

2/5

smooth jams. the lyrics don't do much for me, but toss this on and invite her over for dinner.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

5/5

if you don't know then your ass better call somebody. this is the most important rap album of the 80's.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

3/5

chill, unoffensive, grungy rock.

Cut

The Slits

1/5

this sucks

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession

mostly annoying

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Peak Neil Yound & Crazy Horse!!

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

classic heavy metal album, with a surpise anthem at the end. it sounds dated now, but you gotta respect it for it's influence on so many bands to come.

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

4/5

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

3/5

soothing mood music. had it on at work and found it really helped me hone in on what I was working on. focus music!

Miriam Makeba

2/5

if this album didn't influence the Lion King than what are we even doing here?

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Perfection. Peak Chili Peppers

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

i mean, it's nina simone!! it's mellow and beautiful.

Damaged

Black Flag

3/5

the og of punk albums. proper stuff by Henry and the boys.

The Doors

5/5

brilliance from first song to last.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

The best album from one of the best songwriters of all time. If Born to Run was his Star Wars, Darkness is his Empire Strikes Back. Dark, serious and emotional. A masterpiece.
