Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti

Cool that they have DIY leftist roots, wish there was any sign of that in this album

Document by R.E.M.

Maybe I’d like this more if I were a dad.

Arrival by ABBA

The joy of hearing a new ABBA song is matched only by the joy of hearing one you’ve loved for as long as you can remember.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast

I wish they trimmed the fat and this was a 1/3 of the length. 2.5/5

The Wall by Pink Floyd

It’s more like a 2.5 with a handful of songs closer to a 3.5 but it’s not interesting enough to be so damn long.

Revolver by Beatles

A classic for a reason!

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis

A solid 3 stars, weather dependent.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio

More of a 2.75. Enjoyable but not at all memorable.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

I can’t remember the last time I was this pleasantly surprised by an album. It felt familiar and fresh at the same time and already feels like something I’ll return to continuously.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club

me encanta mucho 💫

Nighthawks At The Diner by Tom Waits

This was the first time I thought “maybe I don’t want to listen to all 1,001 albums”

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro

This was made for middle school boys. 1.5/5

Marquee Moon by Television

Forgettable but some great Guitar Moments.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti

Cool that they have DIY leftist roots, wish there was any sign of that in this album

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus by Spirit

Headquarters by The Monkees

Music From Big Pink by The Band

As everyone said, The Weight is a classic for a reason. 3.5/5

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes

More of whatever this!

Bad by Michael Jackson

Tough to rate because it’s so deeply nostalgic and made me look up the next aerobics class openings, but it’s impossible to forget that he’s an awful person. And a few tracks are true duds. Man in the Mirror is painfully ironic.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan

Chemtrails Over The Country Club by Lana Del Rey

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers

This gave me anxiety

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

I like the beats and that’s about it.

OK by Talvin Singh

Black Holes and Revelations by Muse

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5

This is how I want hip-hop to make me feel!!

Sincere by Mj Cole

Paul Simon by Paul Simon

4.5 A perfect late spring album imo

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers

Sonically, this is so enjoyable and light. Lyrically? yikes

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

4.5

Violator by Depeche Mode

2.75

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers

One Nation Under A Groove by Funkadelic

10/10 first track, the rest is good but not great

Clandestino by Manu Chao

3.75

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Some truly 5 star songs, some let downs (looking at you, title track)

Millions Now Living Will Never Die by Tortoise

Maybe 2.5? Boring, but mostly not abrasive

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin

Had so much potential, but really started to blend together for me

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince

3.75

Be by Common

More like a 2.5- not bad but I would never seek it out and no song caught my attention

The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem

DNF I understand it’s iconic but…

Murmur by R.E.M.

More like a 3.5. I don’t know if I was just in the right mood for Dad Rock but I really enjoyed it

At Budokan by Cheap Trick

2.75, mostly forgettable

Surfer Rosa by Pixies

An example of a few truly great songs carrying a just fine album
