All Ratings

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

4/5

Way better than that era usually offers. The entire album has aged gracefully and there isn't a single bad song on it.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

I feel like I'll regret the rating I've given it today, but I definitely see why this album is legendary. Love the flute work, and I love how it feels like the sound of each song gets more and more complex as the album reaches its conclusion.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

2/5

Closer to a jazz album than a rock album. Not my style of music but I can understand those who like it.

War

1/5

Not my type of music. While I understand the album is iconic, it feels like they had 2-3 great songs and decided that should be enough to carry the album.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

I only really knew the Arctic Monkeys for their major hits, and never gave their catalogue a listen. It's a shame I hadn't done that, because this album is an absolute banger. Top to bottom, it really reminds me of that mid 2000's garage rock scene. The best album I've listened to so far.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

Damn right what an album. I know Bob Dylan is hugely influential, but this album does an excellent job of introducing you to his work. The guys voice isn't all that bad, and it's probably the best songwriting of its time.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

4/5

If Frank Ocean was in the 60s/70s. This album was funky, it was beautiful, and it was even sad. The only critique I have for leaving it as a four star is album length, some songs go on for too long, and some tracks haven't aged well, may be to a production issue. Otherwise, incredible singing, lyrics, and grooves.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

I absolutely despise the 90s style of singing the type of over enunciation that was in vogue at the time. In spite of that, this album genuinely has too many incredible songs for 2 or 3 bad ones to weigh it down.

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

I swear, every single modern sad white boi act, whether it be solo or a group, must take at the very least some inspiration from this album. It's a terrific album, but it's not the genre I'm in love with.

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

It's a 5, an absolute must listen for anyone. It's funky, soulful, expressive, and intelligent, all without being an easy listen. The only minor complaint I would have is the sex noises strewn about, but considering the themes, aesthetic, and overall tone of the album, they don't detract or distract much.

Copper Blue

Sugar

2/5

It's not my genre of preference, but it's totally fine. I don't feel it had anything groundbreaking on the album, and the vocals felt flat. Overall, totally acceptable grunge punk album.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

5/5

Other than the introductions between songs, I love this album. Smooth Jazz? Hell yeah I want more smooth Jazz after listening to this album.

evermore

Taylor Swift

3/5

I don't like contemporary, and I'm not a big T Swizzle guy, but this is still a fun album. Definitely get a Chicks vibe from it, and it definitely is Taylor's best work this decade.

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Adele

4/5

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

5/5

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

Ten

Pearl Jam

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

3/5

Out of Step

Minor Threat

4/5

The Bones Of What You Believe

CHVRCHES

4/5

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

5/5

What an album, I did not expect to love every minute of listening, but good golly did I ever. Terrible band name, but banger music.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

2/5

I only really tolerated this album. It felt like 3/4 of the time, someone was screaming directly in my ear drum.

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

TV On The Radio

2/5

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

2/5

This album made me realize why people reacted positively to gangsta rap. The lyrics here are corny ( hat, cat, bag, etc.) and the beats aren't good enough to cover for that.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

Literally listened to this in my dad's car growing up. Pure nostalgia.

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

2/5

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

4/5

L.A. Woman

The Doors

4/5

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Berlin

Lou Reed

1/5

I don't often rate anything this low, but I was already struggling to enjoy this album when I was startled by the screams of a baby. I understand this style of music (lyrical) is and was super influential to music, but this album was a slog to get through.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

The Stranger

Billy Joel
