Graceland

Paul Simon

2/5

I was vibing a bit a first and then I wasn't. The whole thing is weird, but not a weird that I particularly enjoy.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

4/5

I've heard of this band but never got around to listening to them, glad I finally did. They're like a more country Bowie, and remind Willow of "high winds and the smell of fish". I can see them playing this in a clapboard house on the east coast. "Nightswimming" was teetering towards "Dear Evan Hansen" at first, but grew on me. Would get high and just exist to this album. 7.5/10

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Didn’t like this as much as some of the other Chilli Peppers songs I’ve heard, but it began to pick up further in.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

This is not the crab rave I remembered. Weird, but grew on me.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Ohh ok now I have context for ABBA The sisters have an amazing vocal harmony together, and the songs are all super catchy. The recording isn't the greatest (though that's probably due to the time period), and some of the songs could benefit from a radio edit.

Graceland

Paul Simon

2/5

I was vibing a bit a first and then I wasn't. The whole thing is weird, but not a weird that I particularly enjoy.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

"This ain't my dad, this is a cell phone." I really enjoyed the dynamics of each song here, even with the old recording technology they still felt lively and crisp.

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

3/5

A bit to country for my taste, but I can appreciate the artistry and guitar work.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

4/5

Very vibe, reminded me of Will's music taste. 10/10 would study to again.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

2/5

Nice, but not very memorable. Not my favourite of the soul album's I've listened to so far.

Black Sabbath

5/5

FUCK YEAH The fathers of heavy metal never miss

Bert Jansch

2/5

There are other instruments besides acoustic guitar

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

1/5

This is the music a wannabe hipster would say changed their life. SOAD for posers with a frontman who can’t sing in tune.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Actually good Christmas music wow Modern artists have lowkey ruined these songs.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

I think Mom liked this more than me but I guess her enthusiasm was contagious. Don’t judge an album by its cover, I guess.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Cool sound, awesome vocals. I love the sound of old live recordings.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

3/5

Misfits of they were not very good. Some songs grew on me, but not soon enough. Liked the album enough, but probably won't revisit it.

Close To The Edge

Yes

4/5

I actually really liked this one! Songs are long as hell but the overall sound is great. Very space-age 80s-esque.

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

3/5

Girl power ig? Cover is something else

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

Too Southern for me. Didn't mind the composition, but wouldn't hurt if they sped up the tempo.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

5/5

Finally some good fu king music. I can see why the popular songs off this album are the well-known ones, but the others are still worthwhile. Great sound, great energy, iconic performances.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

4/5

I feel like Moe would make us listen to this album. This seems like a rock classic, I'm surprised I haven't heard it before.

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

4/5

Depressed Bon Jovi? Actually really good, love the sound and the moving tempo.
