Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

2/5

The White Room

The KLF

4/5

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Seminal rap record. Unfortunately it hasn’t aged well due to subject matter and it’s a bit misogynistic. Later eclipsed by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube’s solo work. You can definitely see the blueprint for what’s to come from West Coast rap.

1999

Prince

4/5

Teen Dream

Beach House

2/5

It had its moments. But overall not great.

Justified

Justin Timberlake

4/5

Incredibly diverse in its sound. Especially for a 00’s pop album. What’s great is really great. What’s mediocre is aggressively mediocre. If you can listen to this album in Spatial Audio,I highly recommend it.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

Stark but beautiful.

4/5

Brooding, dark and theatrical.

A half baked album with one all timer.

Garbage

5/5

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

1/5

Joni Mitchell is an acquired taste. Unfortunately, it is one I have yet to acquire.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

Melancholia at its finest. If I could rate in half-stars it would be a 3 1/2 star record.

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

3/5

Interesting and creative

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

Green Day’s most fully realized album. A must listen.

Wish You Were Here

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Island flavored smooth jazz pop confection.

Boston

5/5

The foundation that classic rock radio was built on. The songs on this album are all in the overplayed hall of fame. There’s a reason that is.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

Music

Madonna

4/5

Solid pop record. More good songs than I remember originally.

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

2/5

This album didn’t suck as much as I thought it would.

In Utero

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

1/5

I’m only giving this one star because you don’t have a choice but to give something one star. If it was up to me it would be removed from the list. I kept waiting for something redeemable in this record and it never happened.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Incredible album. For the time, their sound was revolutionary. While it seems unfair to dock it a star due to length, It drags on a bit too long. If some of the fat was trimmed it’s a perfect 5 star album. As is, it’s “merely” 4 stars.

The Joshua Tree

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

5/5

Wildly Bombastic! It has a little of everything. Almost like it should be the soundtrack to a medieval dystopian space western. The closest sound analogy I can make is Queen meets Depeche Mode.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp
