On The Beach

Neil Young · 2 likes

4/5

Great album, not mind-blowing for me but it was really enjoyable while driving and the fact that the mix is so rough makes it lovely

Being There

Wilco · 1 likes

2/5

I came expecting alternative rock and found country and folk music. The album is really good honestly, too big for being a two disc album (I'm used to prog rock and metal, and unless it's The Astonishing by Dream Theater, I can easily get into long albums) But overall I've enjoyed Monday (it's just me or the main lick sounds Steve Stevens came up with?) and Someday Soon. I had to drop it by the end of the second album, I like the fact that it's written and produced entirely by the singer but man it turned boring

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Amazing album for a rock opera album, however the second part of the album felt a bit weak until Bohemian Rhapsody saved it.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

ACDC has the groove and the feeling, an awesome album but man those solos are almost all the same

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

The album is ok ish, I can feel the love for New York from PJ but while it has a lot of guitars and good ideas, the only good song for me was when she included the singer of Radiohead. Also many of her songs starts right away with her singing and doesn't help to build up at all

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Great album, not mind-blowing for me but it was really enjoyable while driving and the fact that the mix is so rough makes it lovely

Fragile

Yes

4/5

Steve Howe is a monster, Rick Wakeman is superb and Chris Squire was out of this world. This album has a distinct 70s and prog rock tone that it's mesmerizing, now I get why many felt like they trip far away to magic and mystic worlds while listening to this album. Is it mind-blowing for me? Almost there, but I can tell how many of many favorite artists find this band as a great inspiration. <==To be continued==|

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

It's way more accessible than Fragile and really easy to the ear. Really like it a lot.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

3/5

Really enjoyable and relaxing compared to the punk I'm used to hear. It was a really approachable album to pass the time with.

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

I can tell how it was revolutionary at the time by how it was recorded. It is really good, I liked it but as Wikipedia put it: this is the type of album you would put as background music in a cafeteria.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

3/5

The album is alright, the musicians are great and this doesn't feel like an alternative rock album. Yet I didn't like the singer and how most of the songs felt like it didn't had a direction.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

The album is really good from the musical standpoint. Every member of Blondie makes the album sound great and the production is top notch. However I found that the album was too long for the type of music it's about (Spotify told me it was 16 tracks) and halfway through it, I lost interest in it.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

1/5

Honestly, this album is really nice to the ear, but it feels more like an exploration of samples over someone rapping. Lauryn Hill sings like no other but her music isn't my kinda thing, even a song she had with Carlos Santana (which is one of my favorites musicians) felt underutilized. I expected more, but I guess her music isn't for me at all

Foo Fighters

3/5

It sounds like a Foo Fighters album, everything in there is an instant classic and I can hear clearly how it inspired the rest of their discography. Not their best of course considering Dave Grohl did everything in the album but you can learn how much impact that gave to the band.

Being There

Wilco

2/5

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Yes! That's what I'm talking about, this is a classic The Doors album, really feel good to listen to it and you can feel a similar nostalgia like the one when you listen to City Pop (except in this case you feel transported to 70s England) I like that it's a blues rock album that doesn't bores you, which happens with a lot of blues albums where song after song is the same. Besides Roundhouse Blues being such a classic, I loved The Spy and Indian Summer

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

2/5

I grew up with a dad who's part of the Silent Generation era. This album really shows up the kind of music he used to listen to and the musical references that many artists from his time evoked through it. However, I got really bored through it and yet I can say The Rolling Stones have a je ne sais quois that makes their music so unique.

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Raekwon

1/5

The guy can spit rhymes like breathing but their music it ain't for me. It felt like being thrown words after words after words and I can understand where this is coming from, the East Coast vs West Coast rap and all in between but seriously this album it ain't for me.

Garbage

3/5

It rocks, instant 90s rocks and instantly returned to my childhood. For some reason I feel like I'm seeing a Serial Experiments Lain episode with this album maybe because the band reminds me of Bôa. The only problem I have with this album is how the singer sings all the songs almost the same. But I really like the guitars and how it transitions from one song to another.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

4/5

The album felt short. I'm used to prog rock/metal and I can see how much Miles Davis has inspired to many musicians. And yet I felt this album too short. I wish it was longer

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

1/5

It kinda feels like they rap over Lo-Fi and that's it right?

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

4/5

What a great accessible album now only because it's easily digestible but because it's excellent produced. The only low point I can tell as a guitarist is that the guitarist was extremely forced to not move from a certain box, yet however they delivered as they really worked for the songs.

Boston

5/5
