Probably influential for it's time but felt a bit slow/boring.
Top Track: Souvenir
A soundtrack for Driver 2.
Top track: Chameleon
Eclectic mix of styles. Middle third of the album is a highlight.
Top track: Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes
Soothing cuban jazz.
Top track: Chan Chan
Consistent throughout but overuse of the cheesy keyboard sound.
Top track: I'm Goin' Down / Southbound Train
Sounds more like classic Springsteen than Born In The USA.

As raw and melodic as Nirvana.

Folky/choral harmonies,
Top track: White Winter Hymnal / Your Protector
Fantastic 90s alt indie rock.
Top track: The One I Love / It's The End Of The World As We Know It
A few gems of 70s prog but far too much filler style songs and long slow passages.
Top track: Comfortably Numb
Improvised funk jams. I can hear some of John Frusciante's influences.

Nice baritone vocals (reminiscent of some visual kei singers), with Duran Duran/Tobias Forge instrumentation.

Proto-Nirvana grunge.

Top track: Mae Culpa / Regiment
"Indie prog" Similar to The Dear Hunter.
Top track: Jacksonville / Chicago
Solid hardcore but would prefer more melody.

Some decent early hip hop moments and RATM style vocals but quite a long album with many other styles.

Funky modern soul.

Soothing Fender Twin guitar tones and violin.
Top track: The Sound of Someone You Love Who's Going Away and It Doesn't Matter
Too track: Precious And Grace
Top track: Alice's Wonderland / Angie
Top track: Play For Today
Great ambassadors for 80s music, deep vocals, sawtooth synths. Some slower/less interesting bits though.
Top track: Never Let Me Down Again
Top track: Silver Dagger / Henry Martin
Not enough harmonic intrigue.
Top track: You Never Should
Top track: The Kids Are Alright
Top Track: Holilili / Mbube
Smooth clean jazz guitar tinkering and Jim Morrison-esque vocals.

(and Stairway, obviously!)

A nix of influences, but a bit slow and boring.

High vocals. Blues psychedelica
7/10

Luna Sea-esque vocals mixed with Morrissey and Bowie.
2/10

5/10 Speakerboxxx
