Live solo piano jazz. Chill, contemplative. Would be good writing/focus music.
It's the Foo Fighters. Pretty good debut album. Pretty same-y all the way through. I did start to zone out near the middle. A fun listen, but not something I would return to a lot. This is a Call is definitely the stand out track.
A good new wave album. Lot's of familiar songs. Does feel like a distilled version of what David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Talking Heads were already doing, but more accessible and pop. Enjoyable, but it doesn't blow my mind.
A fun British trip hop Edm record. Lot's of breakbeats, balls to the wall levels of energy, and great production. A fun listen, but time will tell if I'll be back.
A great live Neil Young record.
Great Arcade Fire album. Lot's of 2000's fear and anxieties.
A chill stripped down country album full of covers. A good listen
Pretty standard late 60's early 70s rock. Did not intrigue me.
A cold but dancable electronic album
Not really my thing. Chill alt country pop from the late 80's/early 90's. Nothing wrong with it, just not my vibe
A lot of fun, will have to listen again
Classic Grunge rock album.
A Brazilian album with very late 90's electronic influences
Not really my vibe, but some good tracks and a fun listen. I didn't hate it, but I probably won't be listening much in the future
Quite brilliant but a bit silly. I bounce between loving it and shaking my head. I'll listen more. I do think I'll love it once I give it more time to sink in.
Middle school me would have rated this a five. It's misogynistic, homophobic, over the top violent, and regardless, still pretty good. Would be a four, but Kim is almost too fucked up in retrospect.
Never heard this before, but it was a great listen
Sort of boring and one note. Nothing really wrong with it: Dion has a good voice and can express some emotion, but I felt nothing for this.
A classic album and one of Neil Young's finest. A 4.7/5, but I'll round ir up
A pretty fun Chamber pop album. Could find myself liking this with a few more listens
Some classic songs. Almost a five, but it dragged a bit in the middle
People call this a groundbreaking album, but perhaps I'm just not seeing it. Breaking glass is too short, and there's just not enough Bowie, as the entire second half is mostly instrumental. I am liking it a bit more on my second listen, so I may have to grow into it.
Great early/proto goth album. Driving, dark, sometimes tinny, but very interesting
Meh. Three classic songs, but it was kind of a drag to get through
I had only really listened to Remain in Light before, but this is also a great album. I clocked Robert Fripp in I Zimbra, which made me realize how much thebKing Crimson album Discipline owes to the Talking Heads. I want tongive this a 4.5, but I can't. I'm giving it a five. It's not perfect, but it is far from a four.
Not my vibe. Not offensive, but doesn't speak to me at all
Good Yes album, not their best, so a four
Two classic songs on an overall good record
Musically not too bad, but the lyrics are pretty dumb and juvenile. Would be pretty good if it wasn't so stupid
Better than Let's Get it On. A good listen all the way through
A classic REM album with some classic songs.
A easy album by the Pixies front man. Kind of drags on long, nothing stands out, though I could see myself enjoying it more with future listens
A pretty plain 60's Psych record with lots of electric guitar, electric organ, and 60's shit. It was alright, but it didn't leave an impression
Clapton's a trash human these days and I've never really gotten the hype, but I approached this objectively. It's not terrible, but it's kind of bland. It's mostly cover songs with a laid back vibe. Clapton's singing is not great, very little passion or character. His guitar playing carries the album, and there are some occasional grooves throughout, but overall, nothing to write home about.
A classic whose influence on music is immeasurable. Rat Salad is the only mid song on the album, the rest are bangers. Sure, Iron Man, Paranoid, and even War Pigs have been played to death, but they still stand as vital and exhilarating heavy metal songs.
I should probably rate this higher. It is a classic with lots of classic songs, but for some reason it's a 3 for me today.
A good Iggy Pop album with lots of Bowie influence. More a 3.5 for me, but I'm rounding up
I used to like this album when I was in middle school, but I haven't enjoyed ACDC since a guy from college I hated made me play the drinking game "Thunderstruck" where you drink every time they say Thunder. Anyway, I came in planning to pan it since I've always considered AC DC to be the Bud Light of rock, but look, there's some aspects of the album that are good. The production is clean. The music is simple but driving. The lyrics are pretty dumb, but Bon Scott can sell. It's still Bud Light, but a beer is a beer. Still not a fan, but I can't give this lower than a three in good conscience.
A chill but groovy ate 90's electronic album.
Never heard this before, but did recognize several songs. A classic.
A smooth, sensual little 60's soul record
I prefer This Year's Model quite a bit, but this is good too
A great dance/electronic album. Definitely Daft Punk inspired, but excellently executed.
An excellent Black Sabbath album with several classic albums like Snowblind, Wheel of Confusion and Changes. Not as good as Paranoid, but still an excellent album
Words are not necessary and a review feels reductive. This album is Afraid, beautiful masterpiece. Simple, understated, hushed, intimate, yet so far away, so remote. Easy 5.
A classic Meat Loaf album. Almost a five, but I cannot call it flawless
Kind of surprised I liked this enough to give it a four. Heavy late 90's singer songwriter vibes, but very chill
My heart says this is a five, but ten years later, my mind is saying it's a four. I'm going to follow my nostalgia tinged heart.
Not a big Madonna fan. This didn't win me over, but there were some good songs.
I can't get into the Beach Boys outside of Pet Sounds, Smile, and Surfs Up.
Another The Prodigy album. It's alright, but Fat of the Land was better.
A strange, beautiful, and intimate record using only vocals. It can be off putting, but it creates a vast world and atmosphere within its narrow confines.
An okay 70's rock album with hints of prog/folk. The title track is the best song on the album for sure.
A pleasant surprise; why haven't I heard of this before? An inventive folk/electronic art pop album. I think I know The Architect feon somewhere, but not sure where. I probably shouldn't give it a five with only two listens, but idk, it's pretty great
Based on the reviews, I expected to like this. Didn't really enjoy it, though it's fine.
A great late career Dylan album.
I came in wanting to be a hater, but I can't complain much.
Not sure how to rate this one. Actually kind of interesting. Some of the songs are quite over the top/broadway-esque which was interesting, but some were pretty boring/ standard songs. It's a mixed bag, but I'm feeling generous today.
An interesting album. Not really into the subject matter, but it being in French definitely helped to minimize the ick factor. Still kinda gross though, would be higher if it wasn't about a middle aged dude having sex with a 14 yo.
There's a lot of good in this album, and it is a vibe at times, but man is it too long. I can live with a 20 minute drum and bass track: at least it's interesting, but 2 hours is just too long to be in 90's Drum and bass land
I'm a big Kings of Leon hater. Always have been. But I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Very 2000's rock. The Strokes, White Stripes. Lot's of energy, but still not as iconic as those bands.
A flawless blues rock album. Janis Joplin's vocals are vibrant and perfect.
Pretty good electronic album
I get that this is an important album in the sense that it is highly sampled in rap/edm, but it's mostly just instrumental covers of rock songs with bongos and horns. I just ain't into it.
Someone likes the Beatles, lol. Pretty good album though. Didn't know Coconut was written by a white man, so I learned something.
For an album so loud, fast, and stuffed full of sound, it's surprisingly bland.
Can I be honest? I never got the amount of hype for REM.
Not very memorable, except for the Jimi Hendrix solo on song 4. Not bad, just forgettable.
I love prog, but never really got into Genesis. They sort of embody all of the reasons people make fun of 70's prog, but there's a lot of good in this album. I did find myself regularly upset with the singing and lyrics, but musically, a nearly flawless album
I don't even like rap but I like this
It was alright. I know it's considered a classic, but it was just kind of boring after a while. The dueling guitars was the one saving grace.
I don't like country, but this was kind of okay. I would consider listening again if the mood struck me
I hate 80s hair metal, but I actually had fun listening to this. I must have been in a particularly good mood. Eddie's guitar work is great, but I still detest the overall vibe
The song Since I Left You is a fucking classic. The rest of the album is just fine though
I'm pretty split here. Putting aside the person from the music, I find this at times good and interesting. Transgressive, vicious, and pounding. But fuck, it's so long, and I'm over it before I'm even half way done. I'm a sucker for concept albums and rock operas, but it's too much of the same. It's a 3.
I should like this, but it's so boring. A few good moments, but overall, it feels slow and pointless.
Not a big fan of this one. The Rough and the Quick was kind of good though
I tried to approach this objectively and with new ears, but I listened to this album to death when I was a teenager. I can't be objective. It's an easy 5.
A fun find! Surprised this came out in 95; it sounds like such a 2000's album. I'm into it.
Very standard 90s Singer/Songwriter rock music. Sometimes fun, mostly chill, but also pretty forgettable.
I want to give this a five. Objectively, it's probably a five, but it also showcases everything about the typical 80's production/sound that I hate. The appropriation of African music, the very 80's synths, the electronic drum kits. Outside of this though, it's a beautifully written, recorded, and produced album.
