Who knew I liked Metallica?

Moby

2/5

I don’t like electronic music too much

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

1/5

No matter much I try, I just can't get into Eminem. The only songs that did anything for me were Stan, The Real Slim Shady, and Kim

#1 Record

Big Star

Kind of boring, but strong otherwise

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

3/5

Pretty chill

Not a fan of the singer's voice

1/5

Just dreadful

5/5

Surprisingly good

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

Mildly Spooky

Cafe Bleu

I could have done without any of the vocals. This album just didn't seem very organized.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

1/5

Yeah this should not be on the 1001 albums list

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

I did not enjoy the singing, but everything else was surprisingly good! I guess I judged the album by it's cover

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

Pretty good, but way too long. The talking was annoying and I probably should've just watched a movie instead

3/5

Okay, but nothing special

A couple standout songs

One World

John Martyn

1/5

One song in and I can already tell I'm gonna hate this. If you want to know how to torture me, this album is the answer. I'm tempted to change all of my one star ratings because this is so bad. Maybe I owe Slipknot an apology

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

They have better albums than this

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

I always thought I didn't like Bob Marley, but I was one hundred percent wrong

2/5

All over the place and way too long. Was did they start singing "this land is your land" and "blackbird?" I do have to admit that the second disc was a lot better
