Gris Gris

Dr. John

1/5

Terrible album, don’t get the hype. Maybe it’s one of those things that only appeals if you’ve done some hard drugs

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

Funky vibe, easy listening but very repetitive often. I don’t feel like the songs distinguish themselves much from each other, but not bad

2112

Rush

2/5

Some decent hard rock but just kinda meh all around, none of the songs really stood out to me except for the stupid chant about the priests in the TWENTY MINUTE opening track. Never understood why bands would mash multiple songs into one track

The World is a Ghetto

War

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

I’ve already come back to this one a few times after listening to it. Reelin in the Years is an earworm for sure

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

It’s Hendrix, of course it’s great

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Great album. The second disc drags on a little bit but it’s a great one all around

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

Great stuff, Free Bird hits even harder when you listen to it as the conclusion of an epic album

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

1/5

Music for boomers who wish the South won. Can’t stand his voice.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

5/5

Really enjoyed this one! Solid album from a group I’ve never heard before. I kind of agree with the general consensus that it doesn’t belong on this list, but I enjoyed listening nonetheless

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

A fun record. Took me a minute to get into it but after I did, I enjoyed it! It does feel quite dated, though. The record scratching and lyric rhythms scream 80s rap

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

4/5

Some of Ye’s best. Sad to see where he’s at now

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

3/5

Enjoyable music, just nothing that stood out to me about the album

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Eagles

3/5

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

1/5

Iron Maiden

5/5

As a rock/metal fan, I’m ashamed to admit I had never listened to Iron Maiden before. This was a great album

Femi Kuti

4/5

Did not know Nigerian nationalist music could hit so hard

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

2/5

The melodies on this album are great for the most part, but I’ve never liked Bowie’s voice

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

Solid blues music, it was fun listening to all the concert dialogue with the audience.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

2/5

Got a good chuckle out of Mothers Lament, but the rest of the songs blurred together. I actually listened to the album twice because I forgot where I left off and didn’t realize I was two songs from the end.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

A solid album all around, but I liked their self-titled album more than this one

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Not my usual style of music, but I have to say I enjoyed this quite a lot!

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

If I were to rate this album by the instrumentals, I would give it a 4 or 5. If I were to rate it by the vocals, I would give it a 1 or 2. Overall, it’s fine. Would be some great background music in a Starbucks.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

An enjoyable listen, but didn’t particularly move me in any way.

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

3/5

Just kinda mid, all of the songs blended together after the first track, which was the best one

Arrival

ABBA

5/5

Beautiful. ABBA’s melodies never fail to take me to another place. There’s a reason they have so many classics that you still hear played

Murmur

R.E.M.

2/5

Enjoyed the melodies and instrumentals on this one. Lyrically, the album is trash. The main chorus of most songs consists of repeating the song title 2-5 times, and the verses and bridges aren’t much more interesting. I would have given this a 3, but after seeing all the glazing 5 star reviews, I decided to downgrade to a 2 for justice
