Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

I had never heard of this band before, but it kind of reminded me of The Doors.

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

4/5

I had never heard of this at all, and while it's not something I would have normally sat down and listened to, it would make great background music. I enjoyed it more than I expected to.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

2/5

I thought The Love Below section was better than Speakerboxx, but while there were a few songs that I enjoyed, overall neither were really my jam. While I don't mind an occasional skit or interlude, there were a bit too many for my tastes.　

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

It was just OK. Wasn't great, wasn't terrible; it was just fine.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

I'd only heard of the Band name name before, but I knew nothing about them. I'm enjoying this; it has this kind of ethereal melodic flow going. It also work pretty cohesively

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

I was torn between three and four stars. I felt that more songs were three star than 4 star songs. However, this album was more than the mere sum of its parts. The songs work together thematically and compositionally in a way that bumps the album up to four.

New Wave

The Auteurs

2/5

Most of the songs were OK, but overall. I didn't really like this; it's not something I see myself going back to again.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

I had never heard of this band before, but it kind of reminded me of The Doors.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Side B was better than Side A. Overall it was good, but, the "song" Voices of Old People was utterly pointless. I understand what they were going for conceptually, however I don't feel like they pulled it off. If they had pulled that off it would have been significantly better.

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

2/5

I really liked it, and was close to giving this four stars, but that 10 minute single cord outro absolutely killed any goodwill I had towards the album as a whole. While I'll probably listen to some of the songs again, that outro ensures I won't listen to the album as whole a second time.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Overall it was good. I didn't really enjoy the two or three songs and I could have done without the extended child bath sounds, but aside from that I really enjoyed this.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Absolutely loved it!

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

1/5

I can appreciate what it it was trying to do artistically, and while it certainly accomplished what it set out to do (sound like a soundtrack to a film), I did not enjoy this one bit. No single song on this album works outside the context of the album itself. I didn't enjoy listening to the album as a whole, and I can't envision myself ever listening to this album again.

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

2/5

It's good for what it is, but it's not for me

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

5/5

This is superb. I normally prefer studio albums over live albums, but here it works. B.B. King's voice, guitar work and the crowd all blend together extremely well.

LP1

FKA twigs

2/5

Not really my thing. FKA twigs is a fine singer but breathy vocals over space synth beats just doesn't do it it.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

3/5

It's ok.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

It's fine. I don't love it, and I don't hate it. I might listen to some of the songs again in a mix playlist, but i don't think I'd listen to it as full album again.

Follow The Leader

Korn

4/5

There are parts obviously don't hold up nearly 30 years later, but I'm blinded by nostalgia

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

5/5

This was great!

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

4/5

I definitely enjoyed this one more than I expected.
