Wonderful Rainbow
Lightning Bolt
Another commenter described this album as “the missing link between metal and dance” and I couldn’t disagree more. They’re clearly competent musicians but I can confidently say this is an album I will not willingly revisit.

Brothers In Arms
Dire Straits
Dire Straits sounds like what I expect Bruce Springsteen to sound like if I knew what Bruce Springsteen sounds like. Some familiar hits. Many songs went on long and could have cut at least 10 minutes off the entire length of the album.

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon & Garfunkel
Not what I was expecting from folk music. Not bad and can see why it’s widely appreciated.

Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin
A little overly self-indulgent at times with the oohhhs and aahhhhs but excellent debut from Led Zeppelin. Amazing how Jimmy Page’s guitar complements Robert Plant’s vocals and they almost mimic one another.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard
Bill Evans Trio
As someone who is unfamiliar with jazz, this was a pleasant, enjoyable listening experience. Talented trio of musicians and even more impressive being a live album. Hearing the audience in the background added an interesting element, almost feeling like you’re there too. Would definitely listen to again.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Wilco
In the first 90 seconds of this album, I’m already sick of the singer’s droning voice but it does get a little better. There are some cool unexpected sounds to the music that make it interesting enough to keep listening. Didn’t find it groundbreaking, but not bad.

Rubber Soul
Beatles
Not bad. I never really “got” the Beatles so this was a decent re-introduction even though the first song is garbage. I appreciate how much content is packed into 35 minutes. Is it wrong that I prefer Lennon’s and Harrison’s lead songs over McCartney’s?

Timeless
Goldie
30 seconds in and I hate it. The vocals against the music are dated. There is absolutely no need for the first song to be 20 minutes long. I’d like to think I’m open-minded about trying new things, but I had to give up listening at the 4th track. I can’t believe this album goes on for nearly 2 hours. I guess it could be tolerable if you plan to do drugs to it.

I respect the work here, but can’t say I really enjoyed it. I get the appeal, it’s just not for me.

Rattus Norvegicus
The Stranglers
Had no idea what to expect as I was unfamiliar with the Stranglers.
I’ve never heard a band where the music is led more by the bass with the guitar being part of the rhythm. The keyboard player is the highlight for me while the drummer rounds it out nicely.
No filler here and enjoyed the sense of humor throughout. I think I’ve found some new songs to add into my regular rotation.

Machine Head
Deep Purple
Most of the guitar solos are excessive and songs drag on but definitely hear their influence in modern music. Not an album I would go out of my way to listen to.

Sign 'O' The Times
Prince
Pretty mid. I had higher expectations for Prince.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators
The 13th Floor Elevators
It was alright. Better than the 2s that I’ve rated, so would give a 3.

The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden
Not bad but probably won’t revisit.

Life Thru A Lens
Robbie Williams
Mid. Didn’t finish this album and don't feel like revisiting. Not the worst thing I’ve heard but also would not consider this album a “must hear.”

Adele
“Hello” is such a good song. “Send My Love” is garbage.
Her talents make up for parts of the album that aren’t great or drag on.

Franz Ferdinand
Franz Ferdinand
Not bad. I recently listened to an album by Sparks and learned both bands have collaborated under the name FFS.
Can definitely hear the influence of bands like Sparks and britpop in the weird but fun songs.

Aftermath
The Rolling Stones
Not bad. Could have done without the last song on the album but overall it was alright.
