Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

All Ratings

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Some cool songs but mostly forgettable.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Very Beatlesy, and okay. Forgettable though!

Paul Simon

3/5

Not bad! Definitely feels like Simon and garfunkel

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

I knew a couple songs which I think makes me like this better - but it’s cool, chill music.

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

Didn’t know any of these songs but it was good! He has a unique song and very interesting.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

2/5

A boring album that took effort to get through. They only have one sound and it gets old.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Nice sound, and some good songs!

The Visitors

ABBA

4/5

The beginning songs sounded so different and so good!!! The rest of the album was good, but very ABBA - fantastic but expected.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

1/5

Quite possibly the most boring and uninspired album in history.

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

3/5

Pretty interesting

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Some really fascinating songs! Some of them didn't land, but all were interesting. Crazy how many songs I knew from other places instead.

Achtung Baby

4/5

More interesting than most u2 songs I’ve heard - this isnt really a four though, more like 3.5

evermore

Taylor Swift

3/5

Kills me to rate a Tay Tay album as three, but it's unfortunately just as dull as the first time I listened to it. But it's Tay Tay, so a solid 3.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

3/5

It was okay! More of a 2.5. The song titles were pretentious and a lot of the songs were forgettable but some had some good beats

Sound Affects

The Jam

4/5

More of a 3.75, but I really liked the punkish new wave feel, but there wasn’t enough particularly stand out

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Okay classic rock. Nothing crazy.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

I liked it better than I thought! he has a great flow of words, and great beats. 3.5

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

I like the cure and this had some good sounds to it!

Os Mutantes

2/5

Dull and unengaging.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Great sound! Some really interesting songs

Elvis Presley

3/5

The singles were great! But the rest of the album was a bit uninspiring.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

3/5

The sound seems promising, it feels right on the cusp of new agey. Nothing that really popped out though

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

4/5

This was really good!!! The sounds were so interesting and deep and I could see myself listening more. Wonderful music to work to too.

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

2/5

Dislike this type of music - like discount Beatles, but with the uninteresting style of Beatles music

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

2/5

Not super great. I usually like Otis Redding but a lot of these were just dull covers.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Probably biased from my history and childhood, but this remains one of the best Metallica albums, and probably one of the best metal albums. There is a lot of depth in the songs sound, and they just 'feel' good to listen to.

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

I love this type of sound!! This is probably more a 3.75 but it’s a cool punkish new wave

Microshift

Hookworms

3/5

Interesting sound! 3.5

Fever Ray

4/5

Really bizarre music, but in the best way possible. Such unique and interesting songs, unlike most anything I've heard.

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

1/5

Fuck Kid Rock

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

Killer Queen is the standout! The rest is good, but I’m surprised how much I didn’t really get into it. 3.5

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Actually a good album!! I didn’t realize I liked the general sound of Black Sabbath, I just know their anthologies.

Sail Away

Randy Newman

2/5

All I can hear is him about to sing “you’ve got a friend in me” but he never does. Boring folk otherwise.

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

2/5

It’s just very much the definition of M.O.R.

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

3/5

It was interesting - a lot of the stuff I listen to seemed to come from this; stuff from Lonely Island, and some other hip hop. Interesting to see where some of it came from.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

A lot of it sounds the same but I actually really like the style!! Irish punk

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

2/5

For 1969, definitely incredible compared to what else was coming out then. But for now? Boring. 2.75, proto-metal and classic rock isn’t my thing

Cat Stevens

2/5

Very, very, very boring

Highway to Hell

Alanis Morissette
