Astrud Gilberto
5/5
This was delightful. At times I wished I were just listening to the album without needing to multitask, but the bright and lively samba actually kept me pretty driven while the jazzy, beachy vibes keep things feeling mellow and unrushed. It was kinda perfect for keeping my day flowing. Loved the flute.
Electric Light Orchestra
4/5
There was some cool stuff here, but I really wasn’t feeling most of the songs and lyrics. “Turn to Stone”, “Standin’ in the Rain”, and “Wild West Hero” were standouts for me. Wish I could give it a 3.5, but 3 seems way too harsh, so a reluctant 4 it is…
Radiohead
2/5
Beck
4/5
Bob Dylan
3/5
Wild. Bob Dylan’s never really “clicked” for me, but this was weird and fun. Still not really my music style, but surprisingly funny. I don’t know that I’ll ever like it more than ironically, but this album was a good time.
Kate Bush
3/5
Love the overall vibe. I can get why this is on the list. I think there’s only 3 or 4 songs I’d personally keep listening to, but I’m into the sound and feel.
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
Very freaking cool. I already knew a lot of this album but it was a blast to go through. Love this sound. Makes me feel like a fraud
Michael Jackson
5/5
Maaaaaaan. What a sick album to go through again. The compositions, the vocal dynamics, the groovy beats. Overall great production.
Maxwell

Ugh!! So good. Gorgeous and funky! Sick bass lines, groovy keyboards, multiple horns!! Breezy, floating vocals. This is everything.

Maaaaaan, idk. Maybe I could get into an earlier album more. A lot of other artists featured on here and they were great. Rick Ross was INCREDIBLE.
Had some standout lines that will definitely make it into my regular usage.
“I wear my pride on my sleeve like a bracelet
If God had an iPod, I'd be on his playlist”
“Cause you haters got PhDs
Y'all just some major haters and some math minors“
“I call you bitch for short”— “you call me asshole for long”
Arcade Fire
3/5
Nostalgic and tragic lyrically.
But not really my favorite to listen to

Okay. I tooootally get the controversy. Idk. Maybe it’s cause I listen to a lot of Jpop and am kinda used to awkward lyrics and line delivery, maybe it’s because it reminds me of listening to Metal Gear Solid music(probably that), but I had fun with it.

This was tough. The sound is pretty cool, but a couple of the song felt ultra similar and it took me a loooong time to get through. Kept having to take breaks and walk away from it. I don’t think it was just the lack of lyrics. I don’t know. Something was missing for me. Sometimes I wanted to give it a 2, I’d really hoped to give it a 4… so I guess a weird 3.
Adele
3/5
This is so weird. I feel like all the components are good, but I’m just not feeling it. I was bored and idk. It lacked something vital for me.

Christina Aguilera
2/5
This was a rough one to get through as a certified Christina sleeper. “Welcome” and Nasty, Naughty Boy” had some of the best vocals I’ve heard in my life. “Welcome” was also just a really interesting production. I really wish she’d do less over singing and emulating others because she’s talented and those songs showcase what she’s capable of.
Lyrically juvenile, at its best, mostly just vapid. Tragically vulgar when it should have been cheeky and playful. I want to deduct another star for how pretentious and obnoxious I find the title juxtaposed to what she gave us(I won’t). I get she meant her inspirational foundation. I don’t care. I think it was a mistake and I think it had a title like that because the album had nothing to say.
What a waste.
I could’ve listened to Alice Cooper today.
