Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

3/5

It's cool. Like the stories, but honestly nothing too crazy here.

Odelay

Beck

2/5

pretty weird album, i guess i just don't really vibe with it

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

Really, really love these 90s instrumental hip-hop albums. Reminds me of Nujabes / J. Dilla, and very influential as well. Didn't get 5 stars because it didn't absolutely blow my mind away, but well-deserved 4.5 stars.

Debut

Björk

4/5

i like bjork. bjork is good.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

Guns N' Roses does what many other hard rock bands cannot - balance an unapologetically punk attitude, with emotion, meaning, and lyrics that truly reflect the cynical attitude of 1980s LA - raw, hedonistic, and alienated. “Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here every day / You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play” “They’re out to get me / They won’t catch me / I’m [...] innocent” “I used to do a little but a little wouldn’t do it, so the little got more and more”

Doolittle

Pixies

3/5

it's okay

Close To The Edge

Yes

5/5

the first track is genuinely mind-blowing

5/5

fucking awesome

Illmatic

Close To You

Carpenters

1/5

just so, so boring and derivative. no-replay value for me unfortunately

Slayed?

Slade

2/5

my ears hurt

Cypress Hill

3/5

Some tracks are lowk really quite good, e.g. How I Could Kill a Man, and the sound style is very, very influential. With that being said, the second-half of the album ended up just blending together and becoming somewhat bland, so I didn't really catch any stand-outs - it just started sounding like noise.

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

love this guy, neil young. lowkey one of the goats

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

i love this guy, paul simon

Suede

3/5

lowk was really really tired when listening to this, but what i heard sounded pretty damn good im negl

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

There's something always endearing about listening to earlier projects of artists. In fact, sometimes I like it even more than their most acclaimed album (like Section 80 w/ Kendrick). That is not the case here, so the 5 star rating will be reserved for the other Tribe Called Quest album.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

4/5

ya like jazz?

Quiet Life

Japan

1/5

just boring and uninspired, in my opinion. also, why is the band called Japan if they have nothing to do with Japan?

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

don't overthink it God Only Knows and Wouldn't it be Nice are literally all-time great tracks, and the rest of the album doesn't slack off either.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

really nice. not much to say - it's a classic record, and it has respect, soo..

nothing short of a masterpiece of vocal performance that leaves behind a titanic legacy.

I've heard great things about this album, but for me, while being enjoyable, it simply wasn't all that memorable.

this album is like 50% mid and 50% pure awesome peak amazing best thing ive ever heard. who cares about the mid? the peak is remembered and immortalized forever. 8/10

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

we are out of the rock-pocalypse :tada: soft pop

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

rip legend, ozzy osbourne! 22-7-25 with that set aside, this was actually a pretty cohesive and enjoyable project. 9.2/10

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

5/5

moving, beautiful, absolute cinema wonderful - 10/10 these last few days have been the generators apology for the miserable spell it put me through before that

Van Halen

4/5

classic rock record, legendary solo, has some forgettable tracks though

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

1/5

there's nothing wrong with the album perse (besides it being pretty boring), but it doesn't belong on the list.

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

5/5

I love q-tip 9.1/10

Parklife

Blur

4/5

not usually a fan of britpop, but this album is just fun 8.5/10

The La's

2/5

definitely one of the rock albums of all time. could have went without hearing it before I die, tbh

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

boring, and depressing. -100/10 i would give it a 0 if I could

Paul Simon

4/5

paul simon is a master of combining unusual chord progressions with strong melodic sense and songwriting. it's fair to say that he has earned his spot as one of the most renowned lyricists in Western popular music. 8.5/10

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

well, it was definitely a piece of music. moderately enjoyable! I'm thinking.. 6.1/10

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

5/5

can't understand a word they're saying, but the vibes are simply immaculate

High Violet

The National

4/5

7.5/10

Foo Fighters

2/5

the sound isn't terribly unique, nor memorable

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus

Spirit

3/5

it's just alright. the tracks feel a little bit scattered and all over the place, though.

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

4/5

very ethereal, sound that somehow still ends up being cohesive. quite enjoyable - 8.2/10 shame that it's not on Spotify anymore though. Could someone like this review when its back?

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

well, it's just fine. not really sure what the hype around Rolling Stones is about

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

1/5

almost didn't make it all the way through this boring, un-original, slop-filled work. felt more like a collection of loud, annoying songs than an actual album. 1.5/10

Viva Hate

Morrissey

3/5

A shame that someone with such undeniably great music also happens to be Morrissey. With that being said, I can't overlook the undeniable quality of the music. 3/5 Remove some of the questionable lyrics and have another artist, and it's probably at least an 8/10

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

very dissonant - really embodies gothic rock quite well

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

3/5

again, this morrissey guy is unfortunately very good at making music

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

3/5

there's nothing strictly wrong with this album besides being a generic and pretty uninspired. it's aight.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

3/5

it got a tad bit TOO experimental at the end

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

2/5

hot take: I did not enjoy this album that much it was just annoying to listen to, and not in the "hard-listening" kind of way, in the "this doesn't sound good and I'm not enjoying it" kind of way

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

5/5

wonderful album - really stays cohesive throughout as well

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

optional challenge: try to count the number of times the word "funk" is said in this album

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

3/5

its aight

Justified

Justin Timberlake

3/5

the main problem with this album is that it's too bloated - there's quite a few pointless tracks here and there. the tracks besides those are quite a vibe though. overall, probably around a 6/10?

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

i love bossa nova holy peak

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

4/5

really solid

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

pretty standard grunge

The Band

3/5

the first 4-5 tracks go incredibly hard and then afterwards it's just mid. 5.5/10?

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

1/5

his voice is really annoying ngl its super shaky and it sounds like he recorded it in his basement and even if we overlook that, the songs themselves are not good truly ass 0/10

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

holy shit, that three track run from someone great - all my friends - us v them is astonishingly good even though the rest is not quite as good, I think this album gets at least an 8/10 just for that

The Predator

Ice Cube

3/5

loops and loops

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

3/5

hypnotic loops, and loops, and loops solid 7/10 - can appreciate how foundational this work is to the ambient genre also fun fact, jarre had one of the biggest concerts of all time - 3.5 million in Moscow!

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

1/5

the end of the performances kinda killed it for me ngl

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

2/5

random collision of a bunch of dissonant sounds with random dentist noises in the background and whatever the hell else they recorded this with. chaotic, and weird, sometimes in a good way - mostly in a bad way. 4/10

m b v

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

doesn't quite live up to classics of the shoegaze genre - this work is more scattered and less cohesive than their previous albums, for instance. still high 3/5, i quite enjoy shoegaze

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

for me, the rolling stones is the "best" (most critically-acclaimed) band, that still falls firmly into the "mid" category for me. So mid. 6/10

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

1/5

well this was... interesting to say the least i started losing my sanity a little bit halfway through when I thought I was listening to an ad for powertools rather than an actual album

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

yay my apology for kollaps thanks generator!

Grace

Jeff Buckley

4/5

stone cold cult-classic

Dire Straits

4/5

bluesy-rock really nice - 8/10

The Yes Album

Yes

5/5

another prog rock masterpiece from Yes

2/5

mind numbingly boring unfortunately

Juju

4/5

absolute classic.

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

a foundational album that everyone needs to listen to at some point in their lives.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

2/5

a little bit aggressive, a little bit annoying. mostly the later.

Pink Flag

Wire

1/5

is this the mumble rap of post-punk because maybe i just dont get it but its not good kind of just sounds like a mess to me

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

2/5

it's just.. not.. that.. interesting... zzzzz

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

some of the lyrics are certainly outdated as others have mentioned... with that being said, this is one of the most important albums ever. its raw, real, unfiltered, and forced people all over the world to confront raw, unfiltered realities of life in LA at this time. yes, some of the language and perspectives reflect a specific time and mindset, and they can feel uncomfortable today. but to dismiss the album entirely because of that is to ignore its context—and its impact. N.W.A gave a voice to a generation that felt unheard the production is sharp, funky, the delivery itself is still incredible, even by today's standards. its imperfect, but essential, all at the same time. "do I look like... a role model?"

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

full of hits. some of the hits (notably, scar tissue, hit really high points). but the rest of the album is just too inconsistent to be amazing imo (6.5/10)

Hms Fable

Shack

4/5

really not sure why this isn't more popular. really solid, lush and dreamy textures, and some-what "folkish-sounds". great! 8.5/10

Miriam Makeba

4/5

solid stuff 7/10

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

the mid is kinda ass but the rest of the album is so good i dont even care

The Shamen

2/5

this album is approximately twice as long as it should be

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

4/5

sunny, ethereal pop album. embodies LA kind of sound really well - 7.5/10

1999

Prince

3/5

chill party vibes. prince is the washing machine, and we're the laundry. feels like every other track we're going from pop to rock, funk, new-wave, or whatever else. with that being said... bro dropped like 3 hits at the start and then made like 8 9 minute long tracks about having sex or smth?? solid 3

Live At The Witch Trials

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Let It Be

well, its aight. its one of those albums that has a very strong feeling of "timeliness" like its being bounded to that one era it was created it or whatever. still solid

In The Court Of The Crimson King

I did not expect this, but this album is actually really, really goated. so eclectic and weird and jazzy, but also weirdly coherent at the same time. I guess that's the beauty of psychedelia when it actually sounds like something. underrated gem, really awesome stuff. 9/10
