Solid 4, lot of fun/cool stuff but a ton of similar slow burny vibes hurt it
The Jam
3/5
Meh, nothing crazy here but some nice musical nods/quotes. Low 3
Soft Machine
3/5
Weird- way too slow of a burn to start, some cool stuff but I don't see myself revisiting this one. Solid 3
Black Sabbath
4/5
Low 4, identity of Sabbath was already well established on this record, solid drum parts and shades of bigger Sabbath hits

5/5
One of my favorite bands of all time, high 4? I struggle to be objective with this one, not my favorite monkeys album but high energy, great songwriting, fun drums

3/5

Christina Aguilera
4/5

5/5
Had me dancing in the kitchen ngl
John Lennon
4/5

Sleater-Kinney
3/5
Don't love the vocals but musically there's some good energy, low/mid 3 for me

4/5
High 3 I think? Some fun tracks, bold ending lowkey

3/5
Gotta be honest I don't remember much of this one. 2.5 because of that

M.I.A.
2/5

M.I.A.
2/5
I don't get it. Low 2. Shrug

4/5
Low 4 I think, maybe high 3, some great tracks, don't love the way it ends though. If it's not one of the great tracks, it's a fine but forgettable track
Meat Loaf
4/5
Slightly surprising but I think a solid 4/high 3. Very musical-esque and some of the bits don't land for me but overall appreciate the theming/song cycle of it all and high energy
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
4/5
Low 4? I liked the first costello record that popped up for me more but this one is fun

4/5
I like this, low 4
Elliott Smith
3/5
Low 3? Not a fan of the vocals and not enough happens dynamically for me

4/5
High 3, some nice sensibilities and interesting choices

Circle Jerks
2/5
2 stars. Could have been 3 but 15 minutes/14 songs is a terrible ratio
Duke Ellington
4/5
Long record, impressively so but also goes a little bit longer than I'd like. Solid 4, seminal Take The A Train
Megadeth
4/5
Liked this a little more than I expected, good energy and sound, solid 4
David Gray
4/5
Prototypical indie stuff, low 4 I think
Simple Minds
4/5
Mid 3, leaning high 3, some real solid tracks but a couple misses, would have been a 4 otherwise

3/5
Fine? Nothing really hits me hard. Take Me Out is solid but most of this is not memorable. High 2 low 3

4/5
This grew on me, good vibes, solid 4
Louis Prima
3/5

Queen
4/5
High 3/low 4, stone cold crazy has been a banger since day 1

T. Rex
4/5
Solid 4, fairly ahead of it's time and nice variety

5/5
5, probably my favorite zep album

Low/mid 4, super solid record

4/5
Low 4? Lots of odd time signatures and some solid drum parts, strong ending
Morrissey
4/5

Ladysmith Black Mambazo
4/5
High 3, super nice listening

3/5
A little weird but you can hear the influence on Jarvis Cocker, I'll go 3
Arcade Fire
4/5
Torn between a 3 and 4, not my favorite arcade fire record but very cohesive, high 3 low 4 I think
Tracy Chapman
4/5
Fast car is overplayed but this is a solid album. Not crazy about the vocal quality but still a 4

David Bowie
4/5
This grew on me over a few listens, high 3, nice atmosphere

4/5
High 3, solid classic psychedelic rock
Hot Chip
4/5
High 3? Good record, some weird vocals but generally appreciated
