Rush

3/5

Strong instrumentals and an overall consistent experience. They play their instruments well, but that's just about it. I like YYZ and Camera Eyes though.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

A very intriguing listen. Zappa delivers a quirky yet engaging. His aggressive style, utilizing the vast array of instruments and the conflict amongst them to find harmony from chaos. Reminds me a lot of Sebastian from La La Land and how he praises the strong competition between the instruments as adding onto the experience. It's like watching a sports game within an album. Overall I'm feeling a strong 7 to a light 8.

Odelay

Beck

1/5

It kinda sucks. I don't like the mix of folkish rock with old school hip hop, and music feels out of tune and inharmonious (if that's even a word) and some instruments felt like they were inappropriately played. I understand that it was experimental, but it’s clear that Beck blew the entire lab up. Wasn't the most pleasurable listening experience.

All Directions

The Temptations

4/5

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

It's very brash and funky and unorthodox, yet by the first track I'm already intrigued. Even though the lyrics are quite immature and corny, in a way it’s radiating angsty white boy vibe is quite enjoyable.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

3/5

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

Solid album. It's prog but not too prog.

Orbital 2

Hypnotised

The Undertones

4/5

'twas good. I like the white boy music that swung between excited and sad.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

3/5

A decent album but the drugs didn't completely do its job at making music that was intriguing, special, and harmonius.

The Cars

4/5

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

3/5

Hysteria

Def Leppard

3/5

Solid album. I like the brash, strong energy. Listened to it while mowing and it was really hitting.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

Oh boy oh boy where do I begin. My glorious queen Lauryn Hill can have my kids, my house, tbh anything. An absolute masterpiece.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Amazing album. Amazing instrumentals (including the solos) and Osbourne's voice is magnificent, especially on "Changes." While I was walking through the halls and listening to the closing track, someone remarked that I was "aura-farming."

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

3/5

It's a fabulous album as a whole and it has a wonderful Eastern vibe to it, but it's not an album where I'd replay individual songs later on down the road. As a collective project, though, this is great.

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Superb album, but the lyricism can be downright terrible at times.

Metallica

3/5

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

“I love The Smiths” “I’m sorry?” Stupid movie references aside, this isn’t their best work but it still is amazing. That goes without saying, however, that Morissey is an insufferable incel and so is his band’s fanbase.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

The Specials

The Blueprint

JAY Z

5/5

Jay-Z is really overrated, but this album along with Reasonable Doubt make me respect and appreciate him. Tough lyricism, superb Chipmunk Soul production by the likes of Kanye West and Just Blaze, and the overall context of this album make it one of the greatest albums of all time. Goes without saying, however, that Nas bodied him on Ether.

American Idiot

Green Day

2/5

Group Sex

Circle Jerks
