A timeless classic, one of my favorite albums of all time. A great way to start this challenge. I especially love how effortless and laid back the album is with punchy instrumentals and ELITE wordplay. There is a series of essays about a tribe called quest called go ahead in the rain that I highly recommend if you’re into them.

Not my type of thing normally but overall I enjoyed listening, not sure if I’d go back but it was a good change of pace and the instrumentals and vocals were pretty solid.

I listened to this one for the Top 500 Rolling stones albums, here's what I had to say at the time: Going into listening to this album, I had only ever heard 7 nation army, and I was pleasantly surprised with the rest of this album. not into EVERY song but love a lot of the concepts and there are very few tracks I straight up didn't like. I think for the most part I feel the same upon this listen. 7 nation army bangs so hard.

I really liked this one, the mix of classic late 80's to early 90's pop and the kinda whiney (in a good way) R.E.M vocals i've come to expect at this point made for an enjoyable listen.

OutKast has such an interesting and wonderful way of making music. This one obviously has some all time classics but many of the songs you don't hear all the time are on the same level of clever lyrics, engaging instrumentals, and great vibes.

I thought this one was a good listen, lots of range with some upbeat fun songs and emotional ballads. I didn't realize how many people had covered Hallelujah, I felt like his was one of the better ones I've heard.

I didn't really know what to expect from this since the cover looked like a Sleep paralysis demon and I had never heard of this artist, but I was super impressed. It sounded like there was a lot of influence from Asian and African musical styles which was really intriguing. It was super unique and I really enjoyed the listen.

I didn't dislike this at all but didn't really like it that much either lol. I think that this kinda sounds like Hoobastank honestly but a little bit less interesting. This is kind of a more general note but I think since all of these albums are very highly rated and classics, I probably need to start being a little more critical, which is going to start here, was originally thinking 3, but going to go 2 here. Might edit some of my older ones if it lets me.
