Among The Living

Anthrax · 1 likes

5/5

A very enjoyable album to listen to, notably the opening track, Among the Living. Great album overall.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

5/5

Cool concept album with funny ads spaced throughout.

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

Solid experimental album. Enjoyed listening. The only drawback was that none of the songs were very memorable, besides their length.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

Decent album. Kind of boring and monotonous, but solid.

British Steel

Judas Priest

5/5

Great metal album. Surprisingly upbeat, but amazing all-around. It really shows off Judas Priest's musicality.

Elephant

The White Stripes

3/5

Great opening track. Other than that, kind of boring. A lot of the songs seem like they revolve around the title, and all the lyrics and music seem somewhat non-fitting for each other.

Rather inappropriate, albeit a very solid album that was enjoyable to listen to.

Pulp

4/5

Not a bad album by any means. However, it was somewhat boring and repetitive.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

5/5

Amazing album. Considering I don't listen to rap, this was a very enjoyable album. Considering that, I loved this album as much as my favorite rock albums. It's hard to state how much I enjoyed this album. I loved the sampling (especially 'When the Levee Breaks') as well as the lyrical sound. Overall, the whole album is a masterpiece of rap, rap-rock and hip-hop.Personal favorites are Fight for Your Right and No Sleep Till Brooklyn. That riff in NSTB is absolutely killer, along with the guitar solo (actually played by the Slayer guitarist).

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Nice album, but some of the songs just seemed really messy and none of them were very novel or catchy.

I can understand why many people would dislike this album. However, for the genre, it is a really accessible and all-around enjoyable listen.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

All-around great grunge/alt-rock album. Jimmy Chamberlain's drums easily bring out one of the best drum performances ever in rock, and Billy Corgan's vocals really shine through, with some of the greatest grunge writing ever, although his voice is a little bit of an acquired taste. Particularly I thought Tonight, Tonight, Jellybelly and Bullet With Butterfly Wings (which was easily my favorite) were really amazing tracks. And for a 2-hour runtime, this album does a great job of not being boring or repetitive.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

Make Yourself

Incubus

5/5

Although occasionally very strangely syncopated with the vocals and music, this was a very pleasurable listening experience, and this has definitely ought to be one of the greatest late-90s albums.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Amazing album all-around. The songs really flow smoothly into each other and paint a compelling story together. It was all very atmospheric and emotional, with amazing guitar work by Gilmour on songs like Another Brick in the Wall Parts 1 & 2 and Comfortably Numb. Waters' bass also really shined through to support Nick Mason's incredible atmospheric drums and Richard Wright's keyboards.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

3/5

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Superstition is a great track, but aside from that, the rest of Stevie's work is somewhat boring.

Abbey Road

Beatles

4/5

The production quality really shines through on this album, a testament to George Martin. The songwriting was also very exceptional, as well as musicality (especially Ringo Starr's drums). However, the majority of the album felt very boring and not noteworthy, so I would give this a 4.5 if I could. Favorite tracks: Come Together, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Octopus' Garden and Golden Slumbers.

5/5

This was an all-around great album. Amazing synth sound that really brings out the vocals and bass. And the songs are all incredibly catchy. Easily one of the greatest pop records of the 2010s.
