Sunshine Superman

Donovan

3/5

Rating 6. Solid album, but nothing memorable after the title song.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Surprisingly, a solid 8 for me. I'd listen again.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

7/10. Stevie Nicks's songs are luminous, but otherwise, I'm not hearing much that's interesting. It's hard to go wrong with Fleetwood Mac, but why this album instead of the self-titled album?

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

3/5

I like the jazzy tracks, interesting sounds, acoustic instruments on some songs, and the guys' sense of humor. But I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it again. Good stuff, but not my taste. 6/10

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Not my favorite Springsteen album, but it's a classic for a reason. It's worth the price of admission just for I'm on Fire and Dancing in the Dark, not to mention Cover Me. 9/10

Dirt

Alice In Chains

2/5

Alice in Chains definitely has its own sound, but once you've heard one song, you've heard nearly all of them. Would? and Rooster are the only two interesting songs, and Would? is the only one I'd listen to again voluntarily. 4/10

Only By The Night

Kings of Leon

2/5

Meh. Nothing special. The singer's voice grew more and more annoying the longer the album went on. 3/10

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

I generally enjoy Steely Dan's jazzy vibes and vocal harmonies, but I'm not a fan of this one.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

5/5

The Only Ones

4/5

It grew on me with a second listen. No rest for the wicked.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

3/5

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

What a great discovery! During the first few songs, I couldn't tell what decade I was listening to. He incorporates great sounds and techniques from multiple eras and creates a timeless album. Funk, jazz and gospel inspired, with beautiful vocals and dreamy soundscapes.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Aside from a couple of songs, I don't find it memorable.

White Light

Gene Clark

4/5

A very comforting album. Maybe it's the acoustic guitar and harmonica, but I see myself sitting by a fire pit in the desert with a glass of red wine in hand, listening to this album.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

The Rise & Fall

Madness

4/5

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5
