All Ratings

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Arguably high 3s, but mostly liked the songs. Album itself is too long though (with slightly different versions of the same songs and some interview clips). Would try other songs by them

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Another where the live-ness makes an actual impact

Iron Maiden

4/5

Violent Femmes

3/5

Maybe like 3.3. Not really my thing, but enjoyed more than expected -- could be right if looking for offbeat angst. Would listen to more by them

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

kind of fun, kind of annoying

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

5/5

Very fun, enjoyed a lot

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

3.7ish? Considered a 4, but not sure how much I'd actually listen to this (and I'm being harsher with ratings these days...)

Faith

George Michael

4/5

Mostly enjoyed more than expected, some are a bit slow but overall fun

The Velvet Underground

3/5

For some reason not what I was expecting, but they're v chill, weird quiet stuff with gentle acoustic guitar, etc. Rating lower just because 1 v long song was actively unpleasant to listen to (The Murder Mystery), but otherwise enjoyed if in the mood for that vibe

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

4/5

Bit discordant but in kind of fun way, dive bar vibes

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

3/5

3-3.5 Fine, but a bit slow and repetitive. Admittedly, didn’t closely listen to the lyrics

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Enjoyed it but wasn’t my fave

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

3/5

3.5-maybe 4. It was fine, maybe would enjoy more on re-listen

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

5/5

Weird but cool, I quite enjoyed. Would def listen to more

NEU! 75

Neu!

3/5

The vocal parts got too weird for me, but I enjoyed other parts. I'd listen to other stuff by them

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Very chill and pleasant

Gorillaz

4/5

I didn't like every track, but enjoyed overall. Would listen to more by them, curious about later stuff.

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

2/5

so far only first 20 mins... not my thing, I think. Open to revisiting to see if I like it more sometime in the future, though.

Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

Fun, chill

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

3/5

Not unpleasant, but slower/sadder vibes than I prefer

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

I like REM, but I actually didn't think these particular songs were fantastic. Maybe a harsh rating...

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

Fun, maybe 4.5+? Good music to do something productive to. Would listen to more

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

1/5

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

More chill and less metal than had expected, but enjoyed. Would listen to more

Tical

Method Man

4/5

Maybe high 3s, but need to listen again with more attention to lyrics for definitive

The White Room

The KLF

5/5

Weird but fun, listen to more by them

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

I think I had gotten him confused with Elton John, who (as of 4/4/26, maybe for no reason) I thought I would find annoying... but turns out I enjoy Billy's stuff!

Scott 2

Scott Walker

4/5

Not my usual vibe, but pleasant listening

Stephen Stills

4/5

Nice, chill

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

3/5

Prob 3.5? I don't especially love live albums and they're not what I generally listen to, but better than expected

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

5/5

Should listen to more of him!

Forever Changes

Love

3/5

Parts chill and enjoyable, others boring. Would try more if ever in the mood for slow, slightly psychedelic... but that's rarely my top choice

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

Fine, but kind of boring (adequate but slow)

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

Parts of it were sort of fun and I'd try more by them, but overall a bit meh

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

A lot of fun: upbeat, chill, mostly instrumental

Blue

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Considered a 4, but probably a bit too slow/downer to really want to listen to. But did like it if ok with downer vibes, chill/slow and she has a nice voice, and worth trying again and listening more closely to lyrics

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

Maybe high 3s (3.5-3.8?), liked parts but overall slower than I usually go for. Chill though

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Fun! Would listen to more by him

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Had heard most of these, but I enjoy 'em

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

5/5

Not usually my fave kind of thing but actually quite enjoyed, and thought the live recording added to it

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

I already knew I liked them, but still a fun album. On the more folky side of their stuff (twangy guitar, harmonica, etc), fun

New Forms

Roni Size

3/5

Considered a 4 because I enjoyed parts and think in the right mood I'd enjoy more, or possibly just other stuff by them, but parts of the album were not very enjoyable so I'm rating more harshly

Traffic

4/5

4.5? Considered a 5. I liked the slight psychedelic + rock vibe, mostly fun songs.

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

3/5

I'd listen to the first half of the album again, but increasingly throughout it's more mixed-pleasantness instrumentals. Punk vibes in ways both fun and meh

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Smooth jazzy pop, pleasant singing over elevator music but in a good way. I enjoyed it

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

3/5

It was fine, but found it a bit boring. Not bad though, could be good maybe when in the mood.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

5/5

Weird but cool. Should definitely listen to again + other stuff by him. Hip hop-inflected instrumental stuff, with electronica flavor and some strange shit -- sort of meow wolf vibes

Music From Big Pink

The Band

4/5

Nice and chill, some were slightly annoying but overall enjoyed

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

4/5

Need to re-listen to, but enjoyed

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

TV On The Radio

3/5

A few of the songs were fun, and a few were boring (especially 2 bonus tracks). Prob a 3.5-.75 depending on which I focus on
