Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden
Not a genre I would listen to that much.
What you would expect an 80s metal band first album would sound like, but better. Was great for its time, a bit dated nowadays. Vocals were good, great instrumentals, the songwriting was pretty simple most times but that’s not really a bad thing actually might be for the best, probably not something this album would be best known for.

Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan
First Introduction to Steely Dan, it’s pretty nonsensical, almost always a piano or some sort of keyboards, the harmony vocals and jazzy instruments mixed with late 60s sounding rock gave it quite an interesting sound.
Great album overall, I’d rate it 4.5, unbiasedly it’s probably more like a 4.0 or 3.5. It’s a good album but admittedly I like it better than it actually is, + album standouts: Rikki Don’t Lose That Number, Any Major Dude Will Tell You, With A Gun, Charlie Freak and Monkey In Your Soul, honorable mention to East St. Louise Toodle-Oo, not one the best tracks but one of my favorites.

Lady Soul
Aretha Franklin
Quite short spanning only 30 minutes though ten songs I suppose it is a typical LP for the decade and origin, although I would’ve expected two more. Aretha’s voice gives a different style to classics, no version better than the other. Great use of background vocals, created a mix of her voice and instruments included.
Standouts: Chain of Fools, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Come Back Baby and Sweet Sweet Baby.
Honorable mention: People Get Ready and Good to Me As I Am to You.
Rating: 8.0/10, really enjoyable songs I rank this really high overall.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Not my first listen to Tom Petty, still not that familiar. Sounds pretty typical for the decade, I do like that he wrote most if not all the songs, his best works are definitely not here but anyone can tell it has great potential, would like to listen to other albums and works in the near future.
Standouts: Breakdown, American Girl, Rockin’ Around (With You).
Honorable Mention: Anything That’s Rock ‘N’ Roll.
Overall rating: 6.5/10, good album I enjoyed it, mostly but I wouldn’t choose to put it on.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

I enjoyed the little songs I listened to, don’t like hip-hop much. Objectively I think it’s good might actually listen to it after a while.

Crosby, Stills & Nash
Crosby, Stills & Nash
I appreciate how they “keep” their own sound but really the songs aren’t that distinct from each other, it’s really the songwriting that’s a little different. Not actually a bad thing I just expected something else. The harmonies and instruments didn’t help, the formula got a bit old fast but it works really well for a few tracks.
OaARaT: 7.5/10, there’s some really good songs off it but, the album in general, it’s good, could be better.

Brilliant Corners
Thelonious Monk
Type of jazz I really enjoy. Drums and piano are always wonderful, it was really relaxing to listen to to. Overall I’d say 9/10 great tracks, not too many, they’re a bit long and completely instrumental, so I’m sure not everybody would like it as much as I.

Violator
Depeche Mode
Though I appreciate New Wave I don’t quite dig it, it’s rarely gotten right after all. That is the reason for which I fancy ‘Violator’ so much.
Favorites: Enjoy the Silence, World in My Eyes, Sweetest Perfection.
Dislikes: none actually, all tracks are at least 7/10 or more
-Ninonin Theone.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)
Motörhead
Never even heard of this band, only metal I ever listened to was Iron Maiden. Didn’t expect any more or less, quite repetitive I wouldn’t call it noise, I think more than anything it’s not my thing. I do hope however, to listen to more of this artist I think they could do a lot better.
6.5/10.

Abraxas
Santana
First listen to Santana,
I really expected something else.
There were some enjoyable moments especially with the guitar,
also the jazz parts,
I don’t know exactly how to describe them.
It was interesting and new I’ll probably warm up to it eventually.
7.5/10, the expectations I had ruined the initial experience,
thankfully I listened to it more,
admittedly it’s quite good.

Gorillaz
Gorillaz
Considering it’s their debut album it’s rather impressive, considering it’s not, it still holds up quite well. While ‘Clint Eastwood’ is considered the best track off it, even by me, I still think it’s hilariously awkward how the rap section came in. Album started to drag a bit after the second half.
Side note, some tracks actually remind me of Glass animals.
Favorites: Tomorrow Comes Today, Clint Eastwood, Sound Check (Gravity).
Dislikes: Clint Eastwood, Rock the House.
6/10

Most people who claim they hate country are talking about the modern version of it, pop with a southern accent and an acoustic in the background (morgan wallen), a more appropriate name for that by the way would be pop(with country influences). 3.5
