Remain In Light
Talking Heads
Favorite: Once in a lifetime
Seeing that Brian Eno is the producer makes so much sense. It feels kind of brain numbing, which there's a time and place for, but brain numbing cool guitars are not my favorite. This is not the Talking Heads' best work in my opinion.

Grace
Jeff Buckley
Favorite song: So Real
Amazing album. I love the synth-rock sound and vocals. It feels like good music to float in my subconscious to. Kinda sad, kinda whimsical. I don't love the song Corpus Christi Carol, it feels very soft. The entire album fits together so perfectly to create a cohesive sound.

C'est Chic
CHIC
Favorite song: at last I am free and sometimes you win.
Chic Cheer feels like an opening number for a musical. I love the guitar rift in Savoir Faire. Nice album which doesn't sound like what the stereotype of disco is but has very cool elements from it. It feels fun and smooth.

Parallel Lines
Blondie
Favorite song: Pretty Baby
I really like one way or another, I understand why it was such a big hit. I know but I don't know almost felt too repetitive and didn't not fit but also didn't fit, it felt like a last minute add on to fill time. I like the roadtrip feel of just go away, it would be a great car song. This album has a nice feel to it. It feels a little bit mainstream but not necessarily in a bad way but in the way that you could play it for anyone and they'd like it. Especially with the obviously rock inspired guitars and pop-rock type vocals and the keyboard they use.

Yank Crime
Drive Like Jehu
This is exactly what I needed today.
Favorite song: Sinews
I love albums with gritty unpolished guitars and vocals that sound like they embody raw emotion. This album is that. I'm sad that this is their only album. It's such a vibe.

1989
Taylor Swift
Favorite song: Wonderland (on DLX) and Out of the Woods
Nostalgia.
It's fine. It's better than a basic corporate pop album but it's not fantastic. It was perfect when I was 7 and I still know all the lyrics to most of the songs but outside of that context it's just classic Taylor Swift.
Bad blood has a really good music video, it's just really fun and Kendrick's verse is still good.
Wildest dreams can burn and die.
I really don't like 'How you get the girl's it feels too corporate pop.
The ending to 'I know places' feels very anticlimactic and like it doesn't quite fit the vibe of the end of the song.
By the end I was just tired of it.

Revolver
Beatles
Favorite song: I'm Only Sleeping
This is a very good album. I can't believe how short it is when I finished my first thought was "is that it". This might be my favorite Beatles album. It definitely needed more than one listen.
Taxman is a fun first track and sets the tone for the album perfectly. It can be a little repetitive but that doesn't really take away from the song for me.
Eleanor Rigby is a classic. Those strings are beautiful and add huge depth and feeling to the song. I wish the vocals were louder in the verses though.
I'm only sleeping is amazing the vocals create a perfect feeling of peace and the switches between verses are masterfully done. I like the lyrics too, they're fun and match the music perfectly.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I Love You Too first started playing given the very different instrumentation than I'm used to from the Beatles. They create a fun/bouncy and distinct sound to the song. It feels like something to move/dance to. I don't know what the horn-like sound in the background is but I like it. They build tension perfectly in the pauses.
Here, there, and everywhere is a perfect track to calm the album back down after the previous one. The softness when he's talking about "her" is perfect and the song, lyrics included, very clearly show how much he loves "her". It brings me an odd amount of peace to listen to.
Yellow Submarine is another classic one. It's a really good song and the feeling they were going for is again created effectively. I really like the use of sound effects in this one.
I love the first line of she said she said. Otherwise, it's a good song and I don't have anything else to say. (Apparently McCartney walked out of the recording session for this song)
I love the piano in good day sunshine. I love that the sun burns his feet. Another fantastic one. I need to wake my sister up with this.
And your bird can see is probably one of the less memorable tracks of this album. It's still good but it doesn't feel like it brings anything particularly unique or that hasn't been done already in the album.
For no one is definitely the end of something on the album. It's the shift, the girl he's talked about the whole album is suddenly gone. The sad trumpet is perfect to add a little something to it and avoid feeling monotonous.
Doctor Robert feels like a joke song almost after most of the album with a feeling and lyrical content similar to Taxman. Almost like they went, too much feeling, we need a non feeling track after that last one. I like it but it feels like it should be somewhere else in the album or a B-side.
I want to tell you feels like a logical progression to For No One. "It's not me it's my mind" is a bold thing to say. The denial and unawareness in the songs lyrics along with the undying longing is perfect.
Got to get you into my life has perfect vocals and the beginning feels powerful. I love the way they build the song.
I like the seagull like sound effect in Tomorrow never knows. This feels like the Beatles when they got really high. There needed to be some way to end to end the album and I guess this experimental chaos was good enough.
I think the short length of each track and the album itself is really good because it avoids the problem of it getting boring or repetitive.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast
Badly Drawn Boy
I liked it. But it's way too long, I got bored. It needed to be about 12 tracks instead of 18, cut the fat. This was not what I was expecting at all after the other songs I've heard from this artist. The piano ballad type form works well for him though.

Dust
Screaming Trees
Favorite song: Traveler and Gospel Plow
Dad Rock.
I liked All I Know quite a bit, it would be easy to sing along to.
I don't think I like this guy's voice that much. It's too something but I can't put my place on what. It could be that it's extremely clean vocals and I prefer rock and heavier with more gravely vocals. It feels mainstream, like just another dude not someone particularly notable.
It feels like at the end of the album he finally found music that suits his voice more and it's really good music, I just wish they started with that.

Me Against The World
2Pac
Favorite song: Death Around the Corner and So Many Tears
Tupac is good.
The epitome of "classic rap".
With how influential this album was it makes sense that Tupac's lyricism and ability to address issues through his music is very well done.
This is one of those albums where I want the lyrics in front of me as I listen.

Getz/Gilberto
Stan Getz
Favorite song: The Girl from Ipanema
Astrud Gilberto has a beautiful voice, I really like the songs that she's in.
The cool sax creates a very calming feeling throughout the whole album.
I really like jazz.

Legalize It
Peter Tosh
Favorite song: Watcha Gonna Do and No Sympathy
"it's good for asthma... It's good for tuberculosis" -Legalize it
I like this album quite a bit after the first track, it's laid back, as would be expected, but still has smooth and catchy guitars, vocals, and drum beats.
