This album has a lot of cool instrumentation. It’s a lot slower than what I typically find myself listening to. I really enjoyed Mothers Daughter, but the rest of the album I felt like I got lost in the pacing. As a guitarist, I was impressed with Santana’s ability, but it’s not something I would see myself returning to regularly. If at all.

I enjoyed my listen! Metal songs tend to be little bit too long for my usual taste in casual listening, but I really enjoyed the songs that progressed into 2-3 distinct sounds as they played out. The second half of the album was stronger to me, I really enjoyed disposable heroes and Orion.

The back half of the album was stronger to me. The way the final two songs blend into eachother is awesome. I can definitely hear the influence of death grips and jazz throughout.

The lyrics and delivery are kinda corny but somehow it all works. I really enjoyed this album. Satellite of love was a standout for me!

I liked this album. I could see myself listening to Lovers Rock with the windows down on a nice summer day.

Realized I need to pay more attention to lyrics. This album was all acoustic and kinda sad. It was ok- not my favorite Bruce album.

I enjoyed this. Could definitely see the influence of their sound in the 90s after them.

I really liked the variety of sounds on here. Album got noticeably better when I swapped from my car audio to my ear buds. Will be trying to listen in my ear buds moving forward.

I wanted to like this album more. Some of the elements I really enjoyed, others sounded really loud and abrasive. I did appreciate the experimentation with sound in a more “analog” way then modern production methods.

This album was kinda boring. Musically it was ok but it was kinda monotonous by the end. There’s more interesting music from the 80s to listen to.

It was a fine album. Realized I actually knew lovefool, the rest kinda feels samey. I do kinda like the baby voice singer vibes. But I’ll be honest man of the year by Lorde really overshadowed this record today.

It was a fine album. Blues feels kinda “samey” to me. Songs were a little long. I can’t be satisfied had some cool harmonica work.

Okay album. Was interesting to learn this was the follow up to thriller. The hits were good, the rest of the album kinda fades into the background. So many HEE HEEs!

First album I know I will be returning to on this list! The experimentation is great. I can hear the influence on many of the artists I listen to today. Nude is fantastic and so is jigsaw falling into place.

Classic rock sound. I think this could have been in 4 territory but it’s too long and monotonous. If it were half the length with only the strongest songs it would have been more powerful.

I feel like this was a 2 teetering on a 3 but I ultimately decided on a 3. Some of the mic effects and production / mixing techniques were very cool- other elements of this album just went a little too long for me.

There was some really cool beats and production techniques on here. Flowed nicely from start to finish.

No skips! I knew the hits but this whole album just kinda flows together and keeps it entertaining. It’s also pride month so it feels fitting to be listening to it now. I definitely will be returning to this album

I liked this! Sounds like classic 80s. Also found out the lead singer is gay so happy pride again!

I had to listen to this album more than once. At first I was just kinda meh about it, but the second listen really brought it together for me. The second half of the album is insane. Completely caught me off guard. Very few artists are doing the same sort of thing. Originally I was gonna rate this a 3 but the second listen bumped it up to a 4.

I liked that there was a story to the album. That was about it. Reminded me of final fantasy or church music but pixelated. The rock elements were cool. On a day I was nicer this could maybe be a 2.

Cold beverage stands out to me for being exceptionally weird and not great… it’s kinda a funky album. I like the singers voice. Beyond that, it’s kinda slow and boring. Sounds a lot older than it really is.

Had to listen more than once to pay more attention. This album was kinda sad- it’s funny because most of the actual sounds and the beat and their voices sounds more sing songy and light. Wouldn’t it be nice is a strong opening track and the contrast with the theming of the rest of the album was too good.

Probably kinda biased since my dad really likes U2. This album was chill. Reminds me of songs I listened to growing up. The political climate right now while listening to it is… yeah.

I liked this more than I was expecting. It was kinda slow/generic rock for awhile, but the way that the production would change and get more experimental and genre blending was really cool. The random death metal screaming in one of the songs caught me off guard but it worked in the context of the whole album.

I feel like this could be four and a half stars. It’s such a loud album and so abrasive- the mixing makes it feel fuzzy even though I know it’s an intentional style choice. The way the album slows down at the end contrasts sharply with its aggressive opening. The elements of electronic music and metal blending with the rock is very cool. I really enjoyed this album.

Did not like this. There were some cool moments but ultimately I probably wouldn’t listen again if it was my choice.

Really not very memorable to me. Felt really generic. It was a fine listen but nothing that really captivated me.

Kinda boring. Nothing really stood out to me. It was fine but only fine.

I feel bad not rating this higher when everybody pretends to like Bob Marley but it was just ok. I don’t think I like reggae all that much. I loved the drums. Would probably enjoy it more if I was able to pay attention to the lyrics but this project has taught me I’m not very good at that.
