Alabama song is incredibly grating. In fact, the whole second half of the album is less than stellar.
Pleasant, easy listening jazz
Starts with a strange mix of reggae and hip-hop. I really like the sections where it just turns into a monologue. Unfortunately, I feel it is not nearly as impactful by modern standards. Favorite Songs: Final Hour
Overall, I think the album would be more enjoyable without a lot of the vocals. The instrumentals are interesting and varied, creating an excellent atmosphere. The album grew on me the longer I listened. Favorite Songs: Um Dia Comum (Em SP), Felicidade, Abraco
Beats are fun, but the lyrics and vocals are truly awful. This solidifies my preference for east coast hip-hop.
Really grew on me as the album went along. I find the vocalist fine, but the guitars are excellent and really enhance the whole album. Favorite Song: Marquee Moon (there's a reason it's the album title, after all)
Love the Timpani throughout, but nothing much strikes me beyond that.
Nothing in here I haven't heard before. The guitar is the highlight (and sometimes the lowlight as well)
Amazing album, top to bottom. I'll never pass up an excuse to listen to this Favorite Songs: Can I Kick It?, Ham N' Eggs
I feel very conflicted on this album. I enjoy the sound of the guitars, but I don't love Liam's dragging vocals. It sounds like every other British rock album, which isn't necessarily bad, but doesn't leaving me wanting more. Favorite Song: Live Forever
Pleasant, easy listening music. Would love to hear more like this throughout. I kind of love the way they introduce the performance on the album itself. It adds to the ambience. Favorite Songs: September in the Rain, How High The Moon
This whole album kind of feels like Psycho Killer, just in different fonts. Really not that exciting. Favorite Song: Psycho Killer
A lovely album all the way through. Some may find it a little too all over the place and distracting, especially with a trumpet as the lead, but I enjoyed it Favorite Tracks: Blue in Green, All Blues
I respect this album more than I actually like it. The message and intent behind it are great, but the music itself is not for me. Favorite Songs: Fistfull of Steel, Freedom
Really enjoyed the varied instrumentation on this album. Some songs kind of lost me and just ended up feeling like Bob Dylan songs, but it really grew on me as the album progressed. Favorite Songs: Jimmy Hickey's Waltz, We Will Not Be Lovers, When Will We Be Married
Camp in its purest form. I had a great time, and there really isn't anything else like it. Some and concepts haven't aged well, but I still enjoy it for what it is. Favorite Songs: Bat Out of Hell, Paradise by the Dashboard Light
A genuinely great album. It's impact is a little diminished by everything that has come since, but it is easy to hear how they have influenced future artists. Favorite Song: Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall
At first, I thought I like this a lot. As it progressed and started to lean more heavily into the African choral arrangements, it really lost it's way. The album sounds a little too "white man discovers another culture" instead of properly celebrating and exploring this style. Favorite Song: Graceland, You Can Call Me Al
Enjoyed it overall, but nothing really stuck out with this album. It all kind of just flowed over me. Favorite Song: Feva
Nothing to dislike, but nothing to love.
Cash really makes a lot of these songs his own (especially Hurt). It's fascinating listening to such a famous artist dealing with his own mortality, which really pushes this album beyond just a collection of Johnny Cash blues songs. Favorite Songs: Hurt, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Streets of Laredo
The drums go crazy on this album. Liked it way more than I thought I would Favorite Songs: Sunday Bloody Sunday, Drowning Man
The Arctic Monkeys have a very distinct sound. Some people will love it, but I found I got a bit bored of it by the end of the album. There are no bad songs here, but it's not for me. Favorite Songs: Perhaps Vampire Is A Bit Strong But...
Nothing wrong with the album, but I just found myself struggling to stay engaged. Favorite Songs: It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), Oddfellows Local 151
This album was a whole lot of nothing. I wish I liked it more than I did, but it just bored me.
It's Dolly. Who doesn't love Dolly?
Tons of fun. One of the best albums so far, not only for how different it is, but just how funky it is. Favorite Songs: One Nation Under A Groove,
This album is kind of ridiculous, but I can't help but love it. Alanis Morissette's vocals make this album stand out Favorite Songs: All I Really Want, Hand In My Pocket, You Learn,
Ignoring the fact that Taylor Swift is a terrible person who uses her success to stifle out other female artists, this album is so boring. It's filled with a bunch of undeniable pop hits and I like the synth influence, but I just can't get past how plain Taylor's lyrics and vocals are. Favorite Songs: Shake it Off,
The Gallager's are not my favorite, especially with Liam's voice. However, something about this album hit today. I think the overall melancholy vibe really fit with the atmosphere I'm feeling. Plus, there are no duds on this album. Favorite Songs: Hey Now!, Champagne Supernova
The beginning to this album is far stronger than the end, but I loved it throughout. I'm surprised I haven't heard anything from it before Favorite Songs: People Everyday, Tennessee, Mama's Always on Stage
Really wasn't for me. Kinda just sounded like generic indie rock, with nothing making it stand out from the current music in the genre
Just kinda passed by. Nothing really stuck.
Very simple structure, but I loved this album. Looking at these lyrics now really broke my heart. Favorite Songs: Talkin' Bout a Revolution, Fast Cards, Mountain O' Things
I LOVE BIG BAND JAZZ Favorite Songs: Congo Mulence, Frenzy, Blues a la Machito
