Adele

3/5

This had the "Adele" problem. Meaning the first two songs were bangers and then I wanted to take a nap. Still, she's Adele and Iove her.

In Utero

Nirvana

1/5

Please for the love of God don't make me listen to milk it ever again. 1/5 stars

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Ok this album rules . Surprising highlights included "things goin' on" and "I ain't the one". Goddamn good time.

Sea Change

Beck

2/5

This is the most 2002 of albums. Any one of these songs could have been plopped into garden state. At first I felt like, hey, I can dig this sad sad droning. But then...it kept going...and going. It was relentless drone.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

This was cool. Nico's whole deal always makes me feel like I'm in an episode of SNL, but regardless, it was an interesting album and I'm glad it exists. Will I turn it on again? Probably not.

Queen II

Queen

3/5

Objectively cool, not something I want to hear again, like really all of Queen. But, cooler than I anticipated.

Opus Dei

Laibach

2/5

It feels unfair to rate this because it very clearly is not my favorite genre and frankly sort of scares me to listen to. Having said that, there were some cool 80s beats and synth things happening and I liked that. I'm glad it's over and I don't have to feel this uncomfortable anymore.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

2/5

I liked this album for like 2 songs and then I was annoyed. I can't really verbalize why but I was just over it.

Horses

Patti Smith

2/5

I wanted so badly to like this. It honestly was like nails on a chalkboard for more than half the album. It's a no for me dog. One extra star bc the album cover kicks ass.

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

I love this album; harvest is one of my favorite songs. 4 stars only because there are a couple of tracks I find myself routinely skipping over.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down

The Dandy Warhols

3/5

Just gonna go ahead and sit down with a vitamin water and watch the oc like it's 2005 and really lean into this album. I like it. I probably won't relisten.

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Raekwon

3/5

I liked this as much as a suburban white girl could

The Band

3/5

Honestly...just expected more. Some bangers on here, but the album as a whole is just not great.

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

3/5

Dug some of this, and some of it was corny as hell

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

Into it. Love a good 38 minute edit. Never heard TVC15 before but I'll be revisiting. Some of this was a little much (eg. 2 minute lead into song 1), hence the 1 star off

Adele

4/5

Adele is a queen and this is her reigning album. There were some misses for me, so not a perfect album. But I just love me some Adele.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

I've come to accept over time that Jimi Hendrix is not really my thing. Like I'm not gonna turn this on for funsies. But you gotta respect the shred. I can't give this less than 4 stars but I will definitely not turn it on again.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

Was not looking forward to listening given how recently we listened to cash. Boy am j happy I did. Listened twice. Perfect. Highlights included "went the wrong way in Pleura with Juanita on my lap" and San Quentin twice in a row. Totally kicked ass.

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

3/5

I can sorta dig... Could have used some editing with these 6 minute songs

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

3/5

This was good. Just maybe a little too much bongo for this girl.

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

2/5

One of the strongest opening lyrics of any album: "I went down to the meat rack tavern And found myself a big ol' healthy girl" It was all downhill from there. Found myself actually laughing out loud by sweet surrender. Really terrible with the exception of track 1, which was awesome.

Peter Gabriel

2/5

Holy Velveeta was this cheesy. 2 stars because sledgehammer kicks ass.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

50 Cent

3/5

Bragger rap at its most mediocre. LOVE P.I.M.P, though.

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

3/5

This was a truly forgettable album. 2.5 stars

Fragile

Yes

3/5

Back half of this album was much better than the front half, mostly bc they kept their mouths shut and just played their instruments. 2.5 stars. Will not listen again willfully.

Adele

3/5

This had the "Adele" problem. Meaning the first two songs were bangers and then I wanted to take a nap. Still, she's Adele and Iove her.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

3/5

This is a 3.5er for me, and a pleasant surprise. It felt like any of these songs could have been on the OC soundtrack and generally I'm here for it

Viva Hate

Morrissey

2/5

Slightly better than the other albums I've heard from Morrissey. Still endless droning.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

Didn't know the beach boys had an environmentalist/political album. Here it is. It is...a lot. Highlight included student demonstration time, which felt like a Beatles song. This album made me feel weird.

The xx

3/5

Fine.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

3/5

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

2/5

More droning

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

One of my faves. A 4.5 because some of the songs (e.g. perfect, forgiven) kinda suck. Otherwise a real banger. "You took a long hard look at my ass And then played golf for a while". Yes.

The Undertones

2/5

Not my deal

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

3/5

Baby making jams. This is a vibe. Til the cops come in feels borderline problematic?

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

3/5

This is the most 90s album. I do not need to listen again but it was fine.

Time Out
