Not music that drives me crazy to have on in the background but also not something I would choose myself. I bet the lead singers voice could grow on me, but I found myself excited by the beauty and interest of the music and then a little annoyed by the voice. That’s the only thing that made me want to turn it off. But respect to what they’re doing because overall it’s a great and influential album, just not 100% aligned with my taste.

Live!
Fela Kuti
This album’s true artistic quality has nothing to do with my rating- I personally was just not equipped with the taste to enjoy it.
It reminded me of the parts of live concerts where they introduce the band but it went on for a full hour and that’s just something I do not know how to appreciate.

Who's Next
The Who
Opening song was epic. After that there wasn’t much I liked. Getting in Tune was a hard listen. Also the singer often does something, that as someone born in ‘98, I can only describe as a Jack Black yell. It’s not what I’m really looking for in music.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory
Oasis
This was a fun listen. I liked the sound and found myself dancing and singing along to songs I’d never heard before but was catching onto. Sometimes the album felt like it was on shuffle because some jumps from song to song were jarring. Not really a game changing album for me but I’d be happy if I walked into a store where it was playing.

I can’t believe this guy was 22 when he made this. I appreciate what he did for music but this album was just not my thing.

A very hype start but I didn’t stay very engaged the full hour. Maybe if I listened a few more times it would grow on me but I also don’t want to listen again. Album cover is pretty sick.

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle
Bill Callahan
It’s like Bill wrote a poem and had a band play some cool music and then tried to read the poem over the top of the music and just made up a random tune as he goes. I’m between 1 and 2 stars because I actually enjoy the music, but I can’t stand the lazy feeling random meandering of the vocals.
Update: I’m feeling physically ill at the number of times he’s told me it’s time to put God away. I want to throw something at him to make it stop.

Was a good time! Funky, funny, and made my morning better. Could have done without some of the spoken interludes and some of the remixes at the end I hated, but the core album was super fun.

All Directions
The Temptations
I was surprised that I liked parts of this more than I expected to. Maybe an album a day is making it just a bit easier to listen to stuff out of my comfort zone. This is still not my favorite genre but overall I think this would be a great addition to a movie soundtrack and wouldn’t mind having it playing in the background of the right setting.
Not sure how much is standard for the time they wrote this, but I heard a lot of familiar sounds which may mean this album had a lot of influence on things I’m hearing 50 years later.

I was bored throughout. Not the album for me. A song finally came on that had me jamming and I realized it was one of their later songs and just started playing after the album had finished.

I had so much fun listening to the album dancing around the apartment. The songs were distinct which kept things exciting. I didn’t connect much with the lyrics and a few of the songs got a little annoying, so 1 star deducted for that. Would maybe listen again.

I hated this. Definitely not for me. It caused a deep anger to surface from my soul that hung in my heart until I skipped each song. I was not natured nor nurtured for bongos.

The snoring song was a -1. Rest of the album was weird and not my thing. Felt very disjointed, sometimes boring, sometimes annoying.

Quit after listening to half. I didn’t like his voice very much. When he did do something cool, like the end of Everything Means Nothing to Me, suddenly the other instruments were disjointed.

4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this! Some of it felt like filler but there were also moments that felt like they spoke to me where the sound was unique and powerful.

I really wanted to like this but maybe because I was trying to get work done I just found it super abrasive. I was so relieved when it ended. I like the idea of more uplifting hip hop, but I wouldn’t listen to this one again.

Only got through half. Musically it’s nice but I’ve just got a built in bias against country. I tried to place exactly what’s wrong with it but it’s just taste. Put this on while I’m in line at knotts and it wouldn’t really bother me.

Something about the classic rock guitar and vocals doesn’t sit well with me. I think the right time and place could make these songs really fun, but it wasn’t while I was trying to get work done. Wild how many hits he stacked into this one album too
