Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

3/5

It was ok?? Reminded me a lot of a combo of later Beatles stuff with some of the Smiths in there, however the vocals were not my vibe and really took the album down a lot for me. Some interesting jams but not for me unfortunately.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

Really funky and interesting, very good album, not 100% my vibe tho.

Dummy

Portishead

2/5

ok, kinda just background music? wasn't the most interesting but there were some decent tracks

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

good, very funky and jazzy! probably like a 4.5/5? rounding down though because it's just a little bit too inoffensive and plain for me, but very jazzy and fun

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

was not a fan of the vocals, lyrics seemed a bit cheesy and over all not my thing.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

probably about a 4.5/5 for me, rounding up for here though. one of the first beatles albums i heard and probably one of my favorites. the vibes are immaculate, and i really wish a lot of the tracks were longer as they feel a bit too short? hence the .5 off. besides that every track slaps, and every track feels so whimsical and fun. you can tell that this was their first dip into making much more interesting music, as every album after this has the same type of whimsy that this album does.

Arular

M.I.A.

1/5

not good! it's rare that an album makes me audibly laugh out loud yet the fucking horns on "bucky done gun" had me dying. this album feels... almost good? like with a lot of changes i think i might enjoy it? but the vocals feel grating, every song feels the same, and the heavy electronic drums just feel droning. an unfortunate 41 minutes i cannot get back.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

2/5

boring and forgetful. the title track is so much better than anything else its shocking, that songs a banger and everything else is just... dull and grating?? i don't understand

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

very chill and calming, very much a like,, driving album? its soothing and sweet and soft and good!

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

this album makes me feel like i lost my horse

Take Me Apart

Kelela

2/5

boring and repetitive, all the songs kinda sounded the same tbh

Pearl

Janis Joplin

2/5

i just couldn't get into it tbh

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

was not my vibe, have heard several of the tracks before tho

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

2/5

really wanted to like it bc it's a more interesting concept? but i couldn't finish the album. boring, repetitive, lyrics are corny, and the female vocalist was so grating i couldn't get through a single song with her. 2/5, saved solely by the fact its not bad just... boring

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

3/5

very interesting, definitely not an album id find myself listening to again but it was very informative and neat.

Bad Company

3/5

boring but fine

The Band

3/5

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

4/5

i like this one a lot! not a 5/5 but very good overall, just funky and fun

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

very ok? a lot of the collabs felt random and out of place

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

solid 4.5/5 album. some consistently good tracks across the album, however the vocals can be a tiny bit grating at times? overall though, very good, classic banger

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

The Specials

3/5

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

Slippery When Wet

i can't tell if i didn't like it or if every song on it has been overplayed to the point i couldn't stand it

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

The Next Day

David Bowie

2/5

idk what it was, i just could not get into this album :(

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Stephen Stills

2/5

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

3/5

good album to listen through, but not a put songs on playlist type album i feel, over all nice tho

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

1/5

i saw all the reviews and i thought, this can't be that bad. it's not that its bad, its just mind numbingly dull and uninteresting. how the hell this ended up on this list is beyond me - surely there are better albums than this? stupid ass electronic slop

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

good classic rock! listened it it a couple times, there's definitely some classics but the other tracks fall a little short in comparison

Synchronicity

The Police

5/5

i love this album so much. In general, i'm more of a fan of sting's solo stuff than the general police things however this album still slaps hard. my mom is a hardcore sting fan as has been since she was a kid, so i was pretty much raised on his music. however i do also think this album holds up on its own as well.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Blue

Joni Mitchell

2/5

was not a fan of her vocals :(
