Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

1/5

Normally with old albums i try to put myself in the mindset of the time of its release to try to contextualize it, and often that makes the listen more interesting. That didn't work for me with this. It's toothless. I'm sure it's a historically important album but i can't see myself ever listening to this again.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1/5

I've unwillingly heard about half the songs on this album. I'm not going to purposely listen to the rest of it. I know what's going to happen: a great bass player, some other decent musicians and a horrifically annoying singer are going to make the dumbest decisions imaginable and somehow conclude that this should be recorded and released to the public

The Clash

3/5

More listenable than the Ramones, less interesting than early XTC. Bonus points for leaning into the accent hard

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

2/5

This might be the most Beatles sounding album of any non-Beatles album I've heard

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

1/5

Fuck no, I'm not giving this dipshit my time or the fraction of the penny he'd get in streaming revenue. I've heard that stupid song thousands of times, not gonna see if there are any surprises on the rest of the album. Go shoot guns at woke beer you freak

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

1/5

With a gun to my head I'm forced to choose between Radiohead and Oasis. I beg to pull the trigger.

Ray Of Light

Madonna

1/5

Can't do it, can't get through this album.

Wild Is The Wind

Buddy had an amazing voice but I'm not enjoying how he used it, and don't find the music interesting. I believe I'll be exiled from Montreal for giving this less than 5 stars

I had hoped his old stuff would be more funk than gospel.

It might not be an exaggeration to say that literally everyone likes this band more than I do. Still better than Radiohead though.

Joan Armatrading

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

2/5

I was really expecting to hate this but it was nowhere near as bad as the hits I've heard a billion times over the years. Way better than Radiohead.

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

2/5

I want to pretend I'm cultured and give this a higher rating but no, honestly I'm just ignorant and bored. At least it's a kind of pleasant boredom, background inoffensive mall music, unlike the aggressive boredom of listening to Radiohead.

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

1/5

I fucking hate this. The first track sounded like digital Oasis with better vocals, which is as much as an accomplishment to my ears as a chef describing their food as better than dog shit. And then everything got worse. They completely lost me when they cannibalized that Can beat. I might hate this more than i hate Radiohead

Follow The Leader

Korn

2/5

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

This album is a thousand times better than the half dozen songs I've heard from them before. That said, I still hate it. More fun than Radiohead, that's a for sure right there.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

These guys always sat in an uncanny valley of heavy music for me, in a similar area where nu metal ended up. There's some great heavy parts but the vocals yank me out of it. I'm not saying buddy wasn't a great singer, or even that his style doesn't suit the music. I just don't like the way it all comes together. That said, they're way better than all the other shit that was going around in the early 90s, the Pearl jams and the Nirvanas and all that other slop. And of course, better than Radiohead.
