Didn't super love this one, kinda sounded like well-crafted noise to me for a lot of it. Don't get me wrong, I recognize the artistry and the talent it took to create that, and it really was all cohesive and musical, but it was just too noisy for my general taste.
A lot of Queen songs I've never heard before. Showcases a variety of musical thematic switches and storylines fading between songs. 1st album of this journey, and a pretty great one to get to start on. I think you might have to be pretty biased to think this is not a "good" album.
Pretty sure this is my first intentional listening of anything by The Flaming Lips. This was definitely a unique album but full of talent and insane creativity. A couple of songs that I didn't love listening to but they served a proper narrative purpose. Really cool. Not sure yet if I'm going to be rating these on the album as a piece of art or my personal opinions of them... This would be high as a piece of art but my opinion was maybe a 3.5
A lot of bangers I didn't realize were on the same album, and didn't realize this was Green Day's major debut album. Definitely an introduction of a unique sound to the scene. Some of the harmonies and vocal patterns sound Beach Boys reminiscent sometimes.
Four solid albums in a row. Really enjoyed this one, felt like a good mix of Cash songs and Cash covers. Just sort of an iconic figure in country/rock. Older Cash but I think his voice aged well for the style most of this sounded like.
Interesting album, I wouldn't say my favorite ever. Very "White Stripes" and by that I mean I think they are very good at making noise very musically. I don't think anything necessarily stood out to me on this album except one or two of the popular songs.
I liked this one. Great musicianship, tight harmonies, enough variety that you can tell different people were the lead writers for each song. A couple of the big ones stood out to me, but heard the title track for the first time and most of the others. I really enjoyed just about everything on this, but not sure it would become part of my regular rotation. Did add to library.

I think grunge, and grunge-adjacent, is something that I can listen to but I wouldn't necessarily choose it. A good album overall, nothing that really blew me out of the water but generally solid.
Liked this one. Mostly some pretty easy listening, but made it really enjoyable. An album I wouldn't mind just popping on to start off the morning or to start winding down just before sunset.
Pretty decent album. A couple of big hits on one album, and good to hear the context for Broken fully. I don't think anything super stood out to me re: style or composition or music, but maybe I just don't know the specific history about this album.
This is the sort of underground garage stuff that I don't really like but I can kind of tolerate. This kind of stuff would be on in the shop all the time. Very nostalgic for that reason but not my favorite album. Very "of the genre", and did have some cool sound switches.
I quite liked this one, and reading about Steve Earle as I listened I liked it even more. Good country, very naive of the life that was about to follow him. It was a good mix of up-tempo and more ballad style, and I particularly enjoyed "Little Rock 'N' Roller"
Progressive rock like this is cool, but I can only listen to it in small doses. This was very exemplary of that genre and I did enjoy it for that but I don't think it's one I would put on again. But then again, I do put on the Dead...
