Public Image: First Issue
Public Image Ltd.
Not a fan of the intro to this album. AnnaLisa was also a chaotic song with no direction. The guitar is fantastic of course but so is all the rock/prog instrumental in this late 70s era. And after listening to the outro this is a 4/10 album. Just don’t like the vocals and the themes. There’s no direction but the instrumental is pretty good

Despite the deserved hate this is a pretty good album. Consistent themes, great instrumentals and vocals. Some songs were ehhhh but others felt like Jeff Buckley. 7.5/10

Not their best album by a long shot. Frankly generic almost to the point of Disney-level corniness. Maybe I just don’t know enough rock/metal history to judge this album’s place in time. Enter Sandman and The Unforgiven are my favorites from this one, but most of the rest sounds the same. 6.5/10

Heartbreaker
Ryan Adams
Solid foundations and some good songs. The whole composition was boring however. Clearly his first album given the shaky vocals. 6.5/10

En-Tact
The Shamen
If geometry dash was a crappy game they’d use this album for music. Just funky enough for a bland UK audience. This was an embarrassing listen in the daytime. Some of the tracks were alright, probably better on drugs. 3/10

Cool instrumentals but bland vocals. Some songs are unique and have energy but many were the same monotonous slur of words. 6.5/10

Coolio. Crack rock to pyramids is great. Still a lot of fluff in this one compared to Blonde. 8/10

Diamond Life
Sade
Never realized how good the sax is for this group. Sades voice is so smooth but some of the songs are poorly composed. Particularly the last one on this album was awful. 6.5/10

Can't Buy A Thrill
Steely Dan
Such a banger album. Each song works together but is also unique so it doesn’t feel repetitive. Only detraction is I don’t always like Fagens vocals. 9/10

Jeff Buckley
Biased review because I had already loved this album. The progression of emotion is perfect, his voice is unique and trained, the composition of each song is solid. I’ll admit there’s a little filler. 9.5/10

Idk why Morrissey started barking in the second to last song. Liked the general vibe but disliked the more experimental songs. 7/10

Achtung Baby
U2
Just not my type of rock. Feels bland and corporate. “One” was pretty good. The instrumentals are just too flat overall. it’s like if Coldplay had bad production. 2/10

Being assigned this right after Ozzy died is wild. The birth of metal rock right here. Whole thing sounds like it was composed in a graveyard. 8/10

British punkish rock. Astonishingly mid. Some fun tunes but the songs just didn’t have much depth . 6.5/10

I can see how this could be repetitive for some but it’s really just lovely all around. No complaints, Sinatras voice and style is timeless 9.5/10

This must have been crazy to experience in 1964. Not the perfect album but it’s damn good. “And I love her” is one of the best love songs ever. 9/10

David Bowie
Last 2 songs were great. I know Bowie is a legend and a genius but a lot of his work just isn’t my thing. This album was meh overall. 6.5/10

The backing beats and instrumental was actually not bad. It was like if sublime forgot how to make a clean sound. Too bad the vocalist here ruined the whole thing top to bottom. 2/10

Well produced album, prog rock experimental sound. Once again Bowie is just not my thing. Pink Floyd has a lot of similar albums but their stuff is cohesive whilst this is more random. 6/10
