Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

Mix of Danzig and Tom Waits with rockabilly sensibilities. Did not love the vocals but can see how this could be very interesting at the time of release.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

Some of the B-sides were surprisingly cool like Sloop John B. Some of it is sort of corny but you can really see the influence it has on stuff that comes after.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

3/5

Cool 80s vibes. Vocals were sort of weird and some of it seems dated at this point.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

2/5

Sounded like a barbershop quartet or something. Music barely audible, mostly just vocals.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Really fun album, the known songs were definitely the best ones on the album though.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Killer songs throughout except maybe four sticks, that one was weird.

Stevie Wonder

3/5

3/5

Cool album art, the song about taking care of your feet was pretty weird.
