Raw Power
The Stooges
First two songs off the album are great, diminishing returns from there for me. Like the instrumentals for the most part but struggle with too much of this variety of American rock.
Fav tracks: Search and Destroy, Gimmie Danger.

Fragile

Loved it, perfect prog-rock that flows so smoothly from one track to the next. Incredible opener with Roundabout.
Fav tracks: Roundabout, Long Distance Runaround, Mood for a Day

Transformer
Lou Reed
First time listening to Transformer cover to cover. Pretty familiar with the hits, so I think I expected more from the album as a whole. Still, can see why it's held up as a classic, its peaks are incredibly high.
Fav tracks: Vicious, Perfect Day, Walk on the Wild Side, Satellite of Love.

Parklife
Blur
Wow this list is just different varieties of white guy rock, hey. Went into this a bit jaded which has maybe harshed my judgment but I just really really don't care that much about this album.

Picture Book
Simply Red
What's this?? A non-rock album??
Aaaand I hate it. This passing the muster for the list does not fill me with confidence for albums to come. Talking Heads cover was fairly upsetting and boy do I really hate Jericho. From there it somehow keeps getting worse.
There's a redeeming moment or two (I don't hate Come to My Aid) but shit me I couldn't wait for it to be over.

Let out a huge sigh as this started, wasn't ready for more white guy rock. Not sure how much that impacted the experience but did enjoy a couple of songs on the back end.
Fav tracks: Nightime, Blue Moon

A Seat at the Table
Solange
Really into Solange's angelic voice and consistent grooves. It's so smooth that it very occasionally gets tiring. Would be a perfect 30-40 minute album.
Fav tracks: Weary, Cranes in the Sky, Junie.

The Downward Spiral

Sometimes Reznor's vocal style gets in the way of this going from an album I appreciate to an album I enjoy. One that I will definitely return to.
