Diverse hip hop album with a few hits. Skits seemed unnecessary.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Classic hip-hop, similar to A Tribe Called Quest with more jazzy flair and forward lyricism. Upbeat and exciting, packed full of flow and stories to tell.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Classic and unique, this album doesn’t overstay its welcome yet has a variety of tracks. Great guitar riffs and an iconic voice.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

Full of classics, and excellent instrumental transition pieces. Essential Beastie Boys that own their genre.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

1/5

Very upbeat but too monotonous for me. I’d compare it to a discount ABBA.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

1/5

Old school blues will good sounds, but most of the tracks were too repetitive to me.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

I like that it’s minimally produced and consistently well-done guitar riffs. Easy listen.

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

2/5

Very unique, but not something worth the casual listen. You’d have to be in a specific mood for this type of music. Cool instrumentals but lyrics can be… odd?

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

Light hearted and whimsical, it was a fun listen! The songs in this album work together to make an enjoyable track, though I wouldn’t add most of these songs independently to a playlist since it’s such a different style.

Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

Cozy album to wind down. Nothing particularly exciting, but now I know what “glam rock” is.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

1/5

British music for sad boys. Not my cup of tea (zing)

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

2/5

Good for ambience, studying, or drugs.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

3/5

I’m not a techno listener but this has solid layers of sounds and I appreciate the production. Would be a good listen while gaming.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

1/5

I hate giving this 1 star but I just wasn’t interested at all.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

5/5

Classic metal, Black Sabbath is always a good listen. This album shreds.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

Classic hip-hop album showing all aspects of the gangster lifestyle. Interludes/skits drag just a bit too long.

5/5

You don’t need my review to know this album is an all-timer.

Good beats, I’m a dumb American who only likes English music though.

3/5

Good mix of upbeat and melancholy.

You can’t throw a rock without a radio station playing one of these songs. Full of classics, albeit overplayed by media, still a defining album of hair metal and 80s rock.
