Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
OutKast
What a genius idea for an album by a duo, especially since they both have such impressive solo careers. There's also definitely something to be said about an album that features Norah Jones, Lil Jon, Rosario Dawson, and Jay-Z. There's a great balance of genres here. However, I wish they'd trimmed this big boi (pun intended) down to be closer to the size of a "standard" album, cuz this was lengthy and my wee attention span was fighting for its life. I definitely related to the "y'all drivin your Subarus, sitting in your cubicles" line in Tomb of the Boom lmao.
Favorite songs: Bowtie, Last Call, Roses

Loved the first song - what a great way to start an album. The rest of it felt a little repetitive, but I would definitely listen again.

Never heard a fast food place referenced so much in one album. Beastie Boys <3 White Castle
No but it's so funny that they wrote this whole album to make fun of frat boys in the 80s and then that became their audience because they didn't realize it was an ironic album.

It's fun to hear the basis of their later sound! I've never listened to this album, and it's just hard to not compare it to their others (that I like much more). Wouldn't listen to again, but it's still the Beatles...

Liege And Lief
Fairport Convention
What an interesting album. I really liked the Irish-y folk-y influence and the main woman's voice. The instrumentation didn't impress me too much - it kind of sounds like I've heard this or something similar often before. Maybe it was groundbreaking for its time, but I can't say it's something I will be listening to again.

Wow. Deserves every one of the four Grammys it got. King's voice is so timeless and the songwriting on this is so diverse and easy to listen to. Loved listening to this, saving to listen to again.

Listening to "Excuse Me" as I type this. Please make this stop.
Okay second half of the album was MUCH better. Enjoyed the piano but some of the songs were just too bad to be redeemable imo.

What a vibe, made me want to fall asleep at my desk but very smooth. A lot of great solos. Loved the piano and saxophone features especially, and I thought the juxtaposition of the two singers' voices was perfect. Portuguese is such a cool language.

The Arctic Monkeys sound is so unique yet timeless, but this definitely isn't my favorite album of theirs. Fingers crossed for Favorite Worst Nightmare to be on this list too

Love this album. Favorite song was The Working Hour. My mom LOVED Tears for Fears as a teenager so I listened to quite a bit of this growing up, and I gotta say it doesn't get old.

I hate that I've never listened to this album. The lyrics are poignant, his voice is beautiful, the backing instruments are soulful or jazzy or smooth depending on the song. Love, love, love.

I get that this was revolutionary and is ranked high on so many album lists, but it's not something I LOVE listening to by any stretch. They are so skilled at weaving their voices together. The backing instrumentals are great too.
