Straight Outta Compton
N.W.A.
Production: 10/10
Lyrics: Hit or miss. I get it: Eazy-E is like the spiritual heart of the group, but he's not a good rapper. Ice Cube is regularly excellent. The themes and overall thesis is unfortunately still relevant. It's also unfortunate that there are regularly word choices which have not aged well.
But yeah, there's a reason why this album is on this list. 10/10

Willie Nelson
One word review: restraint
It's amazing how sparse everything is on this album.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Wilco
Wilco just doesn't really do much for me. They're not bad, but I don't feel compelled to listen to them repeatedly.
This album is just sort of thoroughly "meh" for me.

Cheap Thrills
Big Brother & The Holding Company
Producing this to sound like it was recorded live was a brilliant choice, and made me look it up to confirm it.
Quite enjoyable. The band feels both tight and loose.

Vol. 4
Black Sabbath
YES!
Not sure if 1001albumsgenerator is aware of news, but this came up the day after Ozzy Osbourne passed away.

Master Of Puppets
Metallica
Classic album for sure, but I just don't like Metallica all that much. And it's mostly Lars' playing. He's just not the drummer they need, and not as good as he thinks he is. It's frustrating.

The Marshall Mathers LP
Eminem
Sure, there's a lot of stuff here that hasn't aged well, but it doesn't mean Eminem isn't a talented lyricist.
