Rid Of Me
PJ Harvey
Interesting take on grunge sound. Def pixies and melvins influence. Great Albini production.

Smash
The Offspring
First 5 songs are great. Lost my interest after that. Really don't like their hit singles i guess

Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd
Pretty excellent. Wish I hadn't been overexposed to all the big moments before hearing them in context

Tea for the Tillerman
Cat Stevens
Not resonating with me. I can tell the songs are well crafted, and the performances are solid. Just not my type of music

If I Could Only Remember My Name
David Crosby
Surprised how much I enjoyed this. Cowboy Movie is cool, but kind of overstays it's welcome. Nice arrangements and harmonies throughout. Mellow, but engaging listen.

Haunted Dancehall
The Sabres Of Paradise
This one's tough to rate. Theres moments of brilliance in there, especially the last few tracks. Also lots of tracks that drag Especially in the middle. Don't think I'll revisit the project as a whole but there are a few great tracks.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Proto butt-rock. OK riffs. Inoffensive but dull. Reverse delay drum intro on the opener was neat. Mostly recycled blues riffs and vapid lyrics. I guess the dueling guitar Freebird solo is pretty cool

Meat Is Murder
The Smiths
Excellent guitar and bass performances. Only thing I can knock it for is i find Morrissey's voice annoying at times.

...And Justice For All
Metallica
Very good album held back by weird production choices. The drum tone is very dull. Usually want some pummeling drums in thrash metal and these are not hitting except for some of the double bass drum parts. Also wish you could hear the bass at all. And at 65 minutes, I feel like they could've tightened it up a bit. Still a very enjoyable listen

Imagine
John Lennon
It's alright. Not really finding it especially interesting.

Tarkus
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Fun and engaging listen. Over the top and cheesy at times but packed full of wild organ riffs. Nice that after the 20 min title track, the rest are pretty short, so it doesn't really over stay its welcome. Not going to be in my rotation but I'm sure I'll revisit it at some point

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme
Simon & Garfunkel
Oof we'll see about this. Good song writing and performances. Patterns was kind of a cool track. I like the sense of space in the production, but I wish everything wasn't panned so hard left or right.
A Simple Desultory Philipic kinda kicks ass. Love the fuzztone bass.
The final track was pretty haunting. Disturbing but also reassuring in the juxtaposition of finding beauty in difficult times.
The social and political commentary is an interesting snapshot of the 60s, but at times it feels very relevant to today.
Idk if I'll ever revisit this one, but I'm glad I gave it a chance

Music for the Masses
Depeche Mode
I was excited going into this one because I've been meaning to check this band out. Ended up finding it monotonous and uninteresting for the most part. A couple decent tracks in the first half but no sense of momentum after that. On paper, I should like this band but they don't do much for me outside of the singles.

What's Going On
Marvin Gaye
This one's tough. Knew it by reputation. Don't think I've ever listened to it. Feels familiar because I think I've heard it sampled in a million rap songs. Great performances and message. Inner City Blues is a highlight. It's great but I don't know that I'll revisit it much

I tried. Cool production. Songs don't grab me and the vocals are off putting at times

Holger Czukay
Innovative and ahead of its time with the sampling. Borders on nonsense at times, but there's moments of brilliance in there for sure. I'm a fan of Can, so I'm glad to have heard this one, but I don't see myself coming back to it ever

I liked this a lot. Surprised I've never heard it before. I'll definitely be coming back to it.

Dusty In Memphis
Dusty Springfield
WHY ARE THE DRUMS PANNED COMPLETELY TO THE RIGHT CHANNEL?
Idk this is alright. Not very interesting but easy listening. Don't Forget About Me seems decent. Kinda just skimmed it. I wouldn't be annoyed with it playing in the background but it's not engaging enough to keep my attention. She does have a great voice though, so I guess that's enough for me to give it 2/5
