Vulnicura

Björk

2/5

I really thought I would be into this. And I think I would be if it weren't a work day and I was tripping or something instead. As with all other Bjork, her accent is tough for me to follow lyrics at times so relying only on beat/melodies, it just wasn't doing it for me. I liked Atom Dance, not much else, but I did add a few other songs to my "weird and wonderful" playlist, which I rarely listen to, but love it for when I'm in a specific mood. For this, it gets 2 instead of 1.

Coldplay

5/5

Great album, already knew more songs and added more songs to playlists than I thought I would have.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

Really cool album - added multiple songs to my playlists and really liked the production.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

Pretty trippy, cool album! Need to listen to it more. Added a few to my instrumental playlist.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

Listened to deluxe remaster, not original; like it a lot and it reminds me of 80s rock in the best way

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

4/5

What a beautiful album. I’m not sure how much I will go back to it, but I loved it and want to hear more from The Beach Boys overall.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

3/5

I liked it more than I thought I would - several songs were standouts. I'm not sure how often I would listen to it though. Wish I could do a half star, although I think it is closer to 3 than 4 for me.

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

4/5

Kind of trippy, kind of cool. I really liked this album; had never heard any of it before.

Vulnicura

Björk

2/5

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

4/5

It was great, but I didn't just immediately love it as I was expecting like I love Janis Joplin's solo albums. Also, I had heard most of the songs from their live albums before, so there were no surprises, really, which is my favorite part about slogging through this challenge.

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

4/5

Trippy and good!

Tommy

The Who

5/5

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

4/5

It's a beautiful album overall, I think but I'm not going to return to it often. I did insert it into a playlist I have that is mostly instrumental music, since it felt like it fit there.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

4/5

I just have to be in the mood for punk, but I think this was a very good album.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

2/5

Fine, I liked a few but it was hard to get through.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

What a party! I loved it. I was working while listening, so I’ll probably want to hear it again some time and may want to rerate.

All Directions

The Temptations

5/5

Just such a vibe will def pick up the album to listen to again. I loved every song , and I’m not even usually all that into R&B

1999

Prince

5/5

fun, party album - added more songs to my library than I thought I would. It's a classic!

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

5/5

Such a good album - probably 4.5 stars vs 5 but it was better than some I’ve rated 4 on here already.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Hard one to rate - probably actually a 3.5 but that's not an option. The beats were a vibe though.

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

1/5

Weird album; hard to get through. I think since it's apparently part of a trilogy album set, the other two would make it make more sense? 1.5 Tom Waits has much better music.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

5/5

I fucking loved this album. Just so easy to vibe with. Probably not all the way to a 5, but above a 4. Maybe.

E.V.O.L.

Sonic Youth

5/5

Loved it; amazing from start to finish.

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

2/5

Liked it more than I thought it would, and I should probably listen one more time since I missed a few songs while I had to take a call at work. and one song kinda sounded racist, but maybe I didn't hear it correctly. I'm not into that. Sticking with 2 for now I guess.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

2/5

Just good elevator jazz. Not much more to say here.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

4/5

Loved it so much more than I anticipated from the genre. Great one to listen to as I was working. Lots of really cool beats. I bet a lot of people really hate this though.

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

Really good album, but a little bit of a slog to get through in the middle in there. It will probably improve for me on a second listen. Added 7 of 12 songs to my brit rock playlist.
