Roxy Music

2/5

Nothing special. Some songs were ok, others were bad. Pretty forgettable, other than the parts I *want* to forget.

Willie Nelson

2/5

Technically good, but not my cup of tea. It's almost a parody of itself. Unless Willie Nelson is so famous that the parodies I've heard are literally making fun of his style?

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

2/5

Some of it was good and I'd see them in a Tarantino movie. But some of the songs were so bad, this is the first time I considered not finishing the album.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

4/5

Some good stuff! It took a couple listens to appreciate it

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

2/5

It's... fine. Nothing bad, but just nothing that I'm excited about. 2/5 for personal taste reasons.

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

1/5

"high, really high, like a really high thing" is certainly a lyrical decision

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

certified head banger

Highly Evolved

The Vines

little too much screamo. a couple good tracks

Spiderland

Charles Mingus

5/5

*fat* notes. it sounds like someone's talking. pretty cool!

Calenture

The Triffids

2/5

this is the most 80s album ever (derogatory) jesus, this is a long album two (?) of the songs were not-atrocious enough to merit a 2 instead of a 1

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Adele

4/5

Pretty good!

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

2/5

It was... fine. I felt like it was *close* to the sort of music and genres I like: Fleet Foxes, Pink Floyd, Animal Collective etc., but it didn't quite hit the mark. I wanted to turn it off a few times.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

1/5

Nooooot good Bob, not good at all. This is like if Fusion Frenzy was intentionally a parody of itself.Disco II Disco was so bad I had to subtract a star 😂 1/5

Roxy Music

2/5

Nothing special. Some songs were ok, others were bad. Pretty forgettable, other than the parts I *want* to forget.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Enjoyable! I added a few songs to my morning coffee playlist. Not super memorable, but I'd happily listen to this album again in the background.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

3/5

I already knew and liked the first song! The rest is pretty chill but unremarkable.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Fantastic! I was head bobbing the whole time

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Not bad, good jams. I wouldn't mind hearing the album again, but I'm not rushing to remember to pull it up specifically, which makes it a 3 instead of a 4 for me.

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

2/5

I love The Velvet Underground, and yet... why is this album on this list?? Not Loaded, or their self-titled album? I *want* to like this album, but the first song is the only one worth listening to. The rest is so experimental and gets in its own way. Why is the last song 20 minutes long?

Os Mutantes

4/5

Solid album! I'd listen to it again. MPB might be a new favorite genre of mine.

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

2/5

I could see why it's a standout for psych music, but not my thing.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

2/5

Strong "You wouldn't download a car" energy. The first song sounds like a bad 90s movie credits song. "Flying" sounds like background music in the merch store of a parody Epcot. This album isn't bad per se, it's just bland and doesn't speak to me.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

Not memorable to me, but not bad. Felt pretty repetitive, but that's probably just blues, baby.

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

2/5

Yet another "just fine" album

The La's

3/5

Has some good riffs

Dire Straits

3/5

It's fine. Not super memorable.

Live / Dead

Grateful Dead

3/5

It’s fine. GD is always pretty good, but I’m rarely in the moment for multiple 25 min jam songs

Dirty

Sonic Youth

1/5

Did absolutely nothing for me, but at least my ears didn't bleed. I'm rating a 1/5 instead of a 2/5 because I actively don't want to hear it again, even though it's not objectively the worst thing so far on this project I've listened to

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

Fun! I didn't know VeggieTales was a genre of music 😂

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Good stuff

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

1/5

Edgy != good
