You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

Was very noisy at the start but immediately after was good. Entertaining alt rock. Didn’t love the second to last track but all the others were enjoyable

Synchronicity

The Police

2/5

It was okay. Every breath you take was good but everything else was either not memorable or just felt kinda off. Like they were forcing a vibe. But I'm not the biggest Police fan

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

Really liked it. None of the songs were bad/skips, and the vibe of the whole album was very fun. Never listened to a Green Day album before so I should listen to more. Liked it very much.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

3/5

The lyrics were very deep and meaningful, but since he was pretty old and sick, most of it is just him whisper-talking the words. The folk-y music was a good way to accompany it. The title track and Treaty were the highlights.

2112

Rush

4/5

Really good prog album. The title track is fantastic and tells a great story. Good to listen if you’re in a prog mood

Debut

Björk

2/5

Transformer

Lou Reed

5/5

Love Transformer. Perfect timing as this came up while I was listening to the No Dogs in Space series on the Velvet Underground. Always happy to listen to it.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

5/5

Probably the best Kanye album

Fun House

The Stooges

2/5

It's good at times, but also SO BAD at times. I can understand why people like the proto-punk aspects, but the times where it's just noise and chaos makes absolutely no sense to me

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

This album is what I imagine sex feels like

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

4/5, never heard anything by the Kinks before and I really liked it. There were some songs that were fantastic and some that were only okay. In many of the songs it felt like the lead vocal was too quiet and I couldn't hear it in the mix? I like 60's British rock so I think I'm biased towards this style of music.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

This was my 3rd time listening to this album. I think I finally get it! I really didn't mind it, and some of the lyrics were fun. Like a rolling stone is fire obviously.

Low

David Bowie

4/5

Really like this album, it's just pleasant to listen to start to back. The ambient songs in the second half are relaxing and nice. Sound and Vision best song off it

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

Honey, turn on Rebel Without a Pause, I haven't been irritable for a while....obviously the message is really cool but I struggled to jam with a lot of the music. YEAAAA BOIIIII

Paul Simon

4/5

Fine I’ll say it, I like Paul Simon

I See You

The xx

2/5

Boring music for people who love to complain

2112

Rush

4/5

Super good prog rock. I like the title song (entire A side)

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Not a bad song on it. Written, performed, and recorded perfectly. Pop rock that tells a sad story

The White Room

The KLF

2/5

Listened before: No I hated it at first but around the halfway point some of the tracks started to grow on me. Most of it is still generic house but there were moments that weren't ass. Band has an interesting story. Still a 2/5 because pretty much all house music makes my blood boil

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

3/5

Listened Before: No Interesting. There were some good songs, but for the most part it felt like it was on the verge of being really good, but never got there. The singer was whiny. 3/5 Fav Song: Jesus, Etc. Least Fav Song: I Am Trying to Break Your Heart Listened to it twice. Jesus, Etc and Kamera are both good and everything else is skippable.

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

5/5

Listened before: No This is right up my alley. I just love British psych rock. I could listen to this all day. My only criticism is that the mix is pretty thin and treble heavy. After reading some of the other reviews on here, I'm glad I listened in mono. Fav Song: Baron Saturday Least Fav Song: dunno liked them all Listened to it again in the afternoon. Holds up!! Went from a 4 to a 5. I’m a sucker for this stuff

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

Listened Before: Yes Wow. Listened to this about a year ago and thought it was just fine, but this morning it's hitting just right. Excellent vibes all throughout. Fav Song: Ex-Factor, Doo Wop Least Fav Song: probably the skits

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Heard before: No I thought it was good, serviceable, inoffensive rock music. His voice seemed way out of style for the Spector production techniques he used but he’s a new wave guy so gets a pass. Found all the songs pleasant. 4/5

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

3/5

Listened before: No Giving it as many stars as chords these dudes can play. 3/5 Fav: Motor City is Burning

Abraxas

Santana

5/5

Listened Before: No Insanely lit 5/5. Listened twice before lunch

Germs

1/5

#yup

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

The A side is probably a 5 but the ambient ones on this one were a bit spooky! Listened to this album twice and the B side never got better

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

For a Christmas album, probably second best (after Vince Guaraldi). Gotta love the wall of sound

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

Time of the preaaaacherrrrrr. It was okay

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Listened before: yes Went to the good music factory and this was on

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

4/5

Heard before: no I listened to this on a flight and it made it feel like a cutscene, it kinda rocked

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

4/5

Listened Before: No Good soul music. It's missing some kind of sauce that would make it a 5. But enjoyed each song equally (if you catch my drift)

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Listened Before: No I REALLY want to like this but Anthony Keidis's voice bugs me, especially the rock-rapping. It's fine when he sings. Flea's basslines are badass. Fought for my life to get into it but just ehhhh

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

Listened Before: No Sorta sounded the same throughout, but that's not necessarily bad. Bro was 73 cashing in on a career of being a blues legend... Was pleasant to listen to but sometimes I struggle with old dudes voices. 3/5

A Seat at the Table

Solange

3/5

Low 3. Bored

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Listened Before: No White Album, Sandinista, Tusk...gotta love a long album of random music after a massive success. Found it mostly enjoyable, didn't think any songs were skips. I imagine it's pretty hard to follow up Rumors. 4/5

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession

Laura Nyro

5/5

Simply wonderful. Thought it was impressive, fun and pretty

Music

Madonna

1/5

Why is she dressed like a cowboy bruh

The Clash

3/5

Listened Before: yes Fun, up and down punk album. Not noisy and annoying like some others (looking at you Stooges and Germs). 3/5

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

3/5

Listened Before: No I feel like this guy is dying to be Morrisey...I liked The Sun Always Shines on TV & Love Is Reason. 3/5
