Tigermilk
Belle & Sebastian
Fav song: electric renaissance
I don’t love the singer’s voice tbh. The instrumentation itself is good but not insanely good. Like a cross between Wilco, panchiko, and built to spill if they were all less good. I pinkie swear these reviews will be more detailed later..

Transformer
Lou Reed
sort of hit or miss for me but the best songs are sooo good. Pretty basic but my favs are walk on the wild side and perfect day. These are actually accurate unlike the belle and Sebastian album 😭

Highway to Hell
AC/DC
Not really my type of music tbh. The guitar is insane but it doesn’t sound that complex. Like ik it’s really hard to play it just doesn’t sound that cool 😭 the songs don’t have enough dimension or emotion for me. Fav song: walk all over you

Elastica
Elastica
I honestly really enjoyed listening to this. It reminds me of no doubt/pulp but with more new wave. Also i loveee the vocals. Didn’t have a specific favorite the album sort of feels like one big song maybe All-Nighter?

Yeezus
Kanye West
I love this album - the samples are insanely good and I love how they switch off with the crazy amount of synth. There are better Kanye albums though..fav songs: on sight, new slaves

Lust For Life
Iggy Pop
this album is ok and kind of fun but I just didn’t like its sound that much. It’s like a more energetic Lou reed. Also the album cover mildly creeps me out (sorry iggy). turn blue is pretty weird but it might be my fav song instrumentally

The Specials
The Specials
This album was super fun to listen but I agree with Asa it sort of just feels like a compilation of random songs. Favs: a message to you Rudy, blank expression. Fun change of pace 😛

Bringing It All Back Home
Bob Dylan
The jump from Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream to Mr. Tambourine Man feels a little steep. The album is so like jingly and jangly lmao. I like the rhythm and pacing of most songs a lot. Fav songs: She Belongs to Me, Mr. Tambourine Man

Kick Out The Jams (Live)
MC5
the lead singers voice on Ramblin’ rose was lowkey unbearable 😭 fav song: kick out the jams. This album honestly sounds way more modern than I expected - i would’ve probably guessed it was a decade more recent. It’s definitely not bad just also not as good as most albums on here. The fact that it’s live is kind of fun. Also the Jeff Buckley cover of kick out the jams is cool.

Nebraska
Bruce Springsteen
oh my god little guy inside the generator who chooses the albums give me another harmonica-y album I dare you 😾 ngl I was a little bored by this album. It was okay and not bad but not something I’ll probably ever think about again. Also I wish the guitar was just a little louder 😭 fav song: Johnny 99 maybe?

2112
Rush
I liked this album generally but I’m just not the biggest fan of prog rock. The futuristic theme was cool and I thought this album was like the perfect length. Fav song: the first track starting at minute 16 (idk which song it is 😭)

Straight Outta Compton
N.W.A.
I feel a little stupid listening to this album because I don’t think a teenage girl was their intended audience lmao. I loved this album a lot and I can def see how it belongs on this list, especially considering how influential it was. Ask miller about what he thinks abt this group. Fav song: super hard to choose but maybe fuck tha police or gangsta gangsta

The ArchAndroid
Janelle Monáe
I like how upbeat this album is but it gets slightly boring after a little while. Fav songs: locked inside, sir greendown, oh, maker. Kind of too long imo. Individually though each song on its own is really fun and interesting.

69 Love Songs
The Magnetic Fields
This album feels like eating an entire tray of different Costco samples. Even though they’re pretty simple, I love the vocals. Incredibly creative songs titles lmao. It’s actually insane to me how an album can be this long and I don’t get bored of it. Each song was really enjoyable and at no point was i waiting for this to be over, which is crazy for an almost three hour long album. Fav songs: I don’t want to get over you, sweet-lovin man, love in the shadows

Step In The Arena
Gang Starr
I loved thiss. All of the flows and lyrics were cool. Each track felt really different from the last one which is awesome bc I’ve listened to some hip hop where all the flows are really similar. Theres honestly nothing I don’t like about this album. Fav song: title track, execution of a chump

Tusk
Fleetwood Mac
This is definitely not bad but there is wayy better Fleetwood Mac. The slow songs on this album felt kind of too slow and the energetic ones felt too energetic. Even from the start, the jump from the 1st to 2nd track is not very smooth. Overall it’s just not very catchy and a little all over the place but not bad and pretty pleasant to listen to. Fav songs: over & over, honey hi

Pearl
Janis Joplin
Not much to say about this except that I sort of just thought it was ok and it didn’t make that much of an impression. Fav songs: buried alive in the blues, my baby

Your Arsenal
Morrissey
Fav song: we’ll let you know!!!!! Plus seasick, yet still docked. I honestly think this album sounds different than the smiths - a lot less soft and sad sounding. That being said idk if I like it quite as much. Wish I could give it five starts cause of the album cover 😛

Violator
Depeche Mode
Peak new wave omg. Definitely up there in my top albums of all time. Fav songs: POLICY OF TRUTH!! legit one of my favorite songs of all time, world in my eyes. It’s so hard to choose my favorites because every single track is awesome. The general atmosphere of this album is sort of dark and it feels like it was made to listen to at night. Some of the lyrics are kind of creepy and obsession-y but done really well and obv not just for shock factor.

3 Feet High and Rising
De La Soul
this was really good and cool conceptually. I feel like it dragged on a little long but I liked the storytelling and tracks a lot. Fav songs: eye know, tread water

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
I feel like they put this album on here over other Neil young albums to be niche or something. Fav song: the losing end (when you’re on). This was a solid album but I think I’m just spoiled because I’ve listened to other Neil young albums and I like them a lot more.

Street Signs
Ozomatli
This was so fun to listen to especially after the endless stream of rock and hip hop albums we’ve been getting. Every song was super catchy and different from the previous one. I like the switching between languages too. The album takes a really interesting turn on Dona Isabelle. Fav songs: believe, ya viene el sol, cuando canto

The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Velvet Underground
I love this album so much. Lou reed and Nico’s voices compliment each other so well. There is not a single song on this album that I don’t thoroughly enjoy or find interesting. I love the bass on a ton of these, especially I’m waiting for the man and European son. I also loveee the general atmosphere on Venus in furs and heroin. Fav songs: Sunday morning, femme fatale, heroin, I’ll be your mirror (couldn’t really choose lol).

Harvest
Neil Young
I don’t know if I know enough about his music to say this but this is peak Neil Young. It sounds so smooth, nostalgic, and generally pleasant. I’m also so happy to have a good classic folk album without a trillion harmonicas. Fav songs: out on the weekend, old man

Water From An Ancient Well
Abdullah Ibrahim
This is a nice background album but mildly uninteresting as far as jazz goes. Most of the instrumentation is pretty fun and pleasant to listen to.
Fav song: Manenberg revisited

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady
Charles Mingus
Really solid album. It’s hard to describe why I like this but I just feel like it does exactly what it set out to do. It’s the perfect amount of experimental - interesting but easy to listen to. Track 4 was probably my fav

Gorillaz
Gorillaz
Everything about this album feels pretty bold and in your face, which I think works well. Gorillaz prob has albums I like better (esp plastic beach), but this was pretty solid. Fav songs: Rock the House, 19-2000

Innervisions
Stevie Wonder
This is seriously a masterpiece of an album. I feel like Stevie wonder confirms the idea that people who lose one sense have their other senses heightened because damn. I think this is in my top 15 albums of all time, and my fav Stevie Wonder. Every song is so intricate but absolutely mesmerizing and beautiful. Fav songs ( I wish I didn’t have to choose): golden lady, all in love is fair, he’s misstra know-it-all

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs
Derek & The Dominos
this was actually such a joy to listen to. It’s easy for me to get bored of 70s rock tbh, but this was awesome. It’s not my favorite album ever but it’s very solid for a genre I don’t listen to a ton. Fav songs: bell bottom blues(!!!!!), thorn tree in the garden
