Come Find Yourself
Fun Lovin' Criminals
I liked the album. Healthy mis of hip-hop and instrumental music, not simple drum-machine beats. Cannot judge lyrics that much. I liked the genre variability of the songs - some of them are classic funk, some of them - hip-hop, some are pop soapy stuff and some tracks are pretty heavy. I did not expect the album to be that good.
Most remebered track - Smoke 'Em. Sounds really noire due to contrabass.

Master Of Puppets
Metallica
My favourite Metallica album. Simple as. It grows on me every year. I don't listen to it all yhe time, more like once a year and I find something new all the time. Aggressive, beautiful, adrenaline, thought provoking. MASTERpiece.

Eliminator
ZZ Top
Not sure if I like it. That's my first ZZ top album and I don't think that's my type of music - I don't want to listen to any more of that. It's fine, the riffs are cool, but get very repetitive very quickly. Not sure if I like the lyrics - they are a bit off-putting to me but that's alright. It's not bad just not for me. Favourite track - "Sharp Dressed Man". I'm mixed between 2 and 3 so picking the lower grade.

1999
Prince
Boy those songs are long! Quite repetitive also. I think the lyrics used to be revolutionary at the time being, now I don't find them so appealing. Rhythms are groovy though, great album if you like soul or funk. I'm not a big fan but didn't hate it. I don't think I will listen to it again, just doesn't seem like my kind of music.
I couldn't suffer through song called "Automatic". There was a phrase in this song "I'm going to have to torture you know" which is pretty similar how I felt during the longer songs of this album. Thanks for the heads-up though.
Actually, "Lady Cab Driver" sometimes was pretty good. It is still 8 minutes, I liked maybe a half of it.

3 Feet High and Rising
De La Soul
Pretty classy hip-hop. Liked the beats, liked the flow. I am up for the classic hip-hop and that is a fine example.
Favourite track - Jenifa Taught Me.

KIWANUKA
Michael Kiwanuka
Really like the album. I didn't know anything about Michael or about this album so was going in completely dark. I liked the groove, the calming vocals and lyrics, wonderful flow and overall smoothness of the album. Very solid, would definitely listen to it again.
Favourite tracks: You Ain't The Problem, Piano Joint.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports
Brian Eno
Pretty cool ambient, impressive that it came out as early as 1978 (I'm sure there were earlier entries as well, didn't do my research). Calming, relaxing, I think it fits the theme of an Airport well. I don't have a favourite track as the whole album mixed into a single long track for me. It was easy to work while it was playing and I felt relaxed afterwards so I guess that's to the point.

Hail To the Thief
Radiohead
I liked the album. It started slowly at first but then it got pretty intense. Very radiohead-y. Not my favourite album from them but still like it. Favourite track is "There, There". And I got the rear feeling of wanting to listen to it a couple more times to fully get it. Good album.

Queen II
Queen
Really good album. Of course I've heard individual tracks but this was the first time I've heard it in full. I don't think I have to say anything extra about it - I think it is marvelous, Mercuries' singing is simply perfect and it was nice listening to these songs.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs
Derek & The Dominos
I'm not sure I really like it. I kinda like blues but this feels empty and seems like a showcase of guitar skills. I am not blown away by this album but Layla raises the overall score for me - I really like this track, it's so different from anything else on this album.

The Scream
Siouxsie And The Banshees
I love the energy of this album. It's minimalistic and yet it gives out a wall of sound. I feel like this band must've influenced a lot of bands that I like such as PJ Harvey, Radiohead and others. I praise the pure emotion, simplicity and the expressiveness but, being honest, the album itself felt a bit repetitive for me.
I liked the "Switch" most but the cover on "Helter Skelter" was also awesome.

2112
Rush
I liked the album a lot. It felt like a mix of Iron Maiden and Slade. I liked the vocals and the guitar solos - all incredible and unique. I didn't know about this band at all and I feel I will come back to it for sure.
The first 20-minute track was a banger but alsoThe Twilight Zone was great.

Merriweather Post Pavilion
Animal Collective
It's an OK album but you need to be in right head space for it. I'm sure that teenage me would have loved it and listed the crap out of it but now I feel like it's a bit bland.

Greetings From L.A.
Tim Buckley
My initial impression was "wow this is bad".
> ... Like most of his other albums, Greetings from L.A. did not sell well ...
I was like "I fucnking wonder why?". Terrible lyrics, sex-funk, stupid and profane. But I gave it another go. And in the end I even liked a couple of tracks like "Hong Kong Bar" and "Make It Right". "Devil's eyes" is still too graphical to me but the album redeemed itself a bit. Not bad.

David Bowie
It's brilliant. I don't have anything else to say. I like this album a lot. Favorite track - Lazarus.

Mott
Mott The Hoople
I prefer David Bowie's music over it. Not really remarkable but still good to know that this exists. Still pretty enjoyable but not really remarkable. I struggle to pick one song that I liked the most - they all kinda mixed together in my head.

Violent Femmes
Violent Femmes
That was like a breath of fresh air! Great, almost exclusively acoustic sound coupled with energetic delivery scratches the itch for me. I liked "Add it up" and "Gone Daddy Gone".

Ghosteen
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I love Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. I really enjoy the sound of this album, I can listen to it both thoughtfully and while doing something else. The sound is incredibly deep, singing is soothing and mesmerising and overall atmosphere is soothing and unsettling at the same time. I will be boring here and call "Waiting for You" is my favourite track but that's just because it introduced me to this album. It's hard to pick my favourite out of here.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
A Tribe Called Quest
It was an OK hip-hop album, much more interesting to me than most others. The flow was nice, it was groovy and it was overall pretty nice. I'm not the biggest fan of hip-hop though so I don't think I can appreciate it enough.

Bad Company
Bad Company
I don't know, it sounds good but I didn't remember a single song. It sounds way too generic, like any other band from the period. The title track, Bad Company, is the only one that I remembered. Other than that guitars are sweet, voice is rock-y and overall it's really nice but doesn't really stick.

Scott 4
Scott Walker
I liked the lyrics and the singing. It's very smooth and slick. I like that kind of music and it hits the spot. Also learned that Bowie was a big fan of Walker and you can actually hear the influence in the manner Bowie sings. I listened that album 3 or 4 times in the end, my favorite is the very first track - The Seventh Seal.

Maggot Brain
Funkadelic
That was a pretty nice album, I enjoyed the mix of funk and psychedelic rock. The melodies were pretty wild and fresh for me. I liked the "Wars of Armageddon" the most.

Beautiful Freak
Eels
I never listed to it deliberately before this list but somehow heard most of the songs from the album. It was fine but I found it a bit dull. I liked the "Mental" the most compelling on this album - both music- and lyrics-wise.
