A Seat at the Table

Solange

5/5

Probably one of the chillest albums i’ve heard in awhile. i can see why it had critical acclaim. i like how she tied in Master P’s life story into it.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

i love Elvis Costello. this album is pretty solid, but uhhhhhhhhh it’s not My Aim Is True or This Years Model. doesn’t make it a bad album, just hard to follow those two records.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

CHECK IT OUT NOW FUNK SOUL BROTHA

3 Feet High and Rising

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

COMIN OUTTA MY CAGE AND IVE BEEN DOIN JUST FINE

Eliminator

ZZ Top

5/5

i wasn’t expecting a lot from this record, but let me tell ya… i had a rough day delivering senior meals for work. it was horrible. but i popped this album on and magic ensued. such a great rock record!!! the songs are phenomenal, the cheeky witty lyrics for some of the songs are great, and specifically, the musicianship!! 5/5!

Palo Congo

Sabu

2/5

meh… don’t really have much to say about this one. 2/5.

Parklife

Blur

4/5

more of an Oasis guy, but i did like a lot of this album. Blur sure did have their moments.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

3/5

idk what’s worse… the song Gangbang or the song Giddy Up A Ding Dong… but besides the machismo song names and lyrics, this album showcases some great musicianship. i’ll give it 2.5/5

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

omg!!! this is one of my all time favorite records. always have, always will!!!

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

OH HELL YES. this is my FAVORITE Rush album! YYZ is one of the best instrumental songs of all time. fun fact: YYZ is the airport code for Toronto’s International Airport! neato, huh?? Red Barchetta is about a world where cars are banned and a kid takes his grandfather’s hidden car, a red Barchetta, on a joyride! FUCKIN’ NERDS. but i love this record. i got super into it a few years ago and it became a favorite for me. blaze up and listen to this classic Prog banger!!

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

this album is highly influential and historical in many ways. Rage as a band and entity itself, is highly influential and historical in many ways. probably a reason i am so against authority and standing up for what i believe in. i also thank Adam for radicalizing me with music like this and showing me that i can listen to whatever i want and not give a shit. this is a top listen for me on any occasion. mainly election season. 5/5.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

After giving this album a good run through, i’ve realized that i’ve always under looked what it really stands for and the concept of it all. glad i was able to sit down and listen to it all the way through!

i miss this Kanye… this album is such a classic modern Hip Hop record. if only he didn’t fuck up his career like he did in recent history. but this album truly shows Kanye’s genius as an artist at a time when Hip Hop truly reigned supreme. so many crazy features and great verses. definitely a 5/5.

3/5

i’ve never really have given this band a chance. i’ve heard great things about this record though, so i was pretty open minded going into it. i’m not planning on diving deeper into them or anything though.. isn’t the main dude kind of creepy? i don’t trust a mf named Win. just call yourself Edwin you dick. anyway, 3.5/5.

Raw Power

The Stooges

5/5

“I’m a street walkin’ cheetah with a hand full of napalm.” one of the coolest lines in punk rock. i remember growing up, Marx had a poster of this album cover in our conjoined basement room. My friends would always comment the typical shit a stupid podunk farm kids always say. Derogatory, filthy, hateful shit. I always resented them for it because they didn’t know SHIT about Iggy Pop. They didn’t know how cool of a mf he really was. Thank god i got different friends. 5/5.
