4/5

Ok, I would have absolutely loved this in my early 20s so it's a shame I didn't get to enjoy it then. The only thing I knew from the band was "I just don't know what to do with myself", so this was unexpected. Really, really enjoyed it!

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Easy 5. Got lucky that this was my first album in the project, great start

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Did not expect to like it as much as I did

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

It took me days to finish listening to this one. It has some good songs, but overall it depressed me. Don't want to repeat the experience

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

2/5

Quite annoying but not entirely bad. There are a couple of songs that I kinda liked, but I don't plan on listening to this album ever again

L.A. Woman

The Doors

4/5

Great album. The first half is especially good

Rage Against The Machine

3/5

Not my style, but I get why it's here. Interesting experience listening to it

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

5/5

Impossible not to love it. Great energy, voice, and rhythm

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

5/5

I cannot love this more. Love the energy, the vocals, the instruments. Will definitely listen to it many more times

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

Really, really good. I really love the whole vibe of this album. The melodies are great. Not a 5 because it does get a little repetitive

Tommy

The Who

3/5

Starts good, then it gets tiring. Worth it listening to it at least once

Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

1/5

So annoying. Instrumentally speaking, there are a few parts that I like, but it is completely ruined by vocals

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

I liked it more than I expected to, specially considering how much I disliked the first track. The rest of the album was mostly a nice surprise

Common

4/5

I don't think I'd ever get to this album on my own, so I'm really glad this project gave me the opportunity to listen to it. Great, great!

Wild Gift

2/5

Not horrible, but a hard listen. Didn't like the vocals at all

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

This felt so dated, and not in a good way. It wasn't an easy experience trying to finish it

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

4/5

I mean, what's not to like? Great ambient music. Not a 5 because I'd rather listen to actual Brazilian bossa nova, preferably with vocals

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

Not my style, but it's fun. Glad I listened to it

Paul Simon

5/5

So good. Listened to it when having a bad day and it just made it much better. Honestly made me feel that living is worth it

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

This would be a 3.5 for me, but I'll round it down because I wouldn't necessarily want to listen to the whole album again. There are some good songs though

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

2/5

So. much. NOISE. I really disliked this one. The vocals are okay, but everything else is annoying. Somehow, a similar experience I had when listening to Dub Housing by Pere Ubu. Not-the-worst-song award goes to Nothing Much To Lose

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

3/5

Felt like it was equally fun and annoying. Not bad at all, just not totally my style

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Good and fun, just not my style. 3.5

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

This is gold. I've been listening to it for the past decade, and I gladly listened to it again for the project

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

This one is hard for me to rate. I really liked it but at the same time there is something that bothers me. It would be a 3.5 and I could honestly round it up or down. I chose to round it down based on the lower expectation of actually wanting to hear the whole album again

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

2/5

Really enjoyed a couple songs (Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam and The man who sold the world), but overall it's simply not pleasing to me

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

3/5

Very fun, but it does get tiring (maybe I'm just not in the mood)

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Well, wasn't this a nice surprise? Knew nothing of the Rolling Stones, to be honest, and decided to listen to it unpretentiously while painting my kitchen and I LOVE it!

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

3/5

Nice experience. Had a lot of fun specially in the beginning, but it did get a bit tiring.

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

It's fine, nice to listen to, sounds cohesive as well. Nothing special, though

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

5/5

It's albums like these that make this project so worth it for me. Cozy and fun at the same time, so good!!!
