The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

I was kind of surprised at how many of the songs I recognized/ liked, but honestly it was a little much for one sitting

Not my favorite beach boys album but it was fine

4/5

Hardest working man in showbiz indeed

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

I started this album like “waow, why don’t I listen to more of the police??” And then the song “mother” came up and I was like ah and then the rest of the album was normal? I’ll call this a 3.5 rounded up

2/5

I feel like I’d be really into Radiohead if it was instrumental, but thom York’s vocals really harsh my vibe

Loved it, especially after the Radiohead yesterday. 4.5 stars tbh

After yesterday this was just ok

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Kinda crazy how this sounds less dated than the stones album we got last week. He’s the GOAT for a reason

5/5

I had pretty positive feelings about Ms. Springfield already, but I was surprised by how much I liked the whole album.

This is a grudging 3. I thought it would be a 2 but it turns out it was fine I guess

This album takes itself the exactly right amount of seriously

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

There is no world in which I could’ve predicted *anything* about this album. The orchestral parts kept it fresh, and overall it was a delight to listen to (besides your dictionary, what the fuck was up with that) 3.5 rounded up to 4

Southern Rock Opera

Dudes rock. This was better than I expected, especially the spoken word stuff and wallace

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

3/5

She’s great but she’s not my taste

Started by hating it, by the end I was kind of into it
