If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

I’d actually give it a 3.5. It’s a nostalgic album for me but it suffers from something I thought only the last albums from The Black Keys suffered: it does feel like you’re listening to the same 3 songs for an hour. I guess I looked at this one with rose-colored glasses

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

I am not a hip hop person at all but this one is amazing

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

2/5

Muse’s greatest song was featured in a film about shining vampires. Take that as you will. I’m giving 2 because I thought it would be much worse actually and because Supermassive Black Hole is a very good song (I just cant take it serious as Muse would like to because it’s intertwined with lines of the likes of “BELLA THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER”)

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

1/5

I felt like stopping it in the middle but my husband said he “loved” this one, so I insisted. As of right now I’m kind of mad with him because I definitely should have stopped in the middle. It does not get better. I liked Whats Behind the Mask, though

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

It definitely suffers from the same problem of so many 90s / early 00s albums: it’s too long and would be much better if it was made to fit in 47 minutes

No Other

Gene Clark

3/5

I was Kinda enjoying and I thought of rating it a 4 but them I had to stop when the last song started and didnt feel like coming back. So it’s a 3

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

...And Justice For All

Metallica

1/5

I dont think I can fairly rate this because I do refuse to listen to this in full. Very repetitive, very “mom, look how fast I can play!”. I gave up on track 2 and went straight to One, since so many reviews praise it. This one is ok I guess

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

4/5

Run-D.M.C.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

5/5

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

4/5

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

4/5

My therapist will not like this but I had forgotten how good Radiohead is. I’ll return listening to them on a regular basis

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Garbage

4/5

It sounds so 90s I have no option but to love it. Yes Im a sucker for 90s alt music

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

4/5

I feel this could be a 3.5 but Cant Make a Sound melody is so gorgeous in its melancholy I feel compeled to rate it 4

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

I must confess I didnt love the Electric Ladyland, my only experience with a Jimi Hendrix’s album in full, so I was surprised I actually liked this one!

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

2/5

I liked the riffs and melodies way more than I was expecting I'm not the kind of person that believes all lyrics should have deep meanings but these ones are just too silly to ignore, bordering misogyny. I'd give it a 4 for the songs only and 1 for the lyrics. Make it a 2, maybe? or 3? IDK

Blur

3/5

Beetlebum and Song 2 are great but the rest is just OK. 35 albums in and I believe this is the first one I own in a physical format. Overall I think the best album Blur has ever made is their Best Of. Souce: I am fucking MADFERIT. Sorry

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

1/5

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

more on the 3,5 side; I thought it got a little fatiguing towards the end

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

War

4/5

Kimono My House

Sparks

4/5

I'll be honest and say I got to know Sparks through FFS That's a good record

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

More like on the 3,5 spectrum, but closer to 4, I think. It's not quite my cup of tea but the harmonies are beautiful.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

More like on the 3,5 spectrum. I like it but it can get repetitive at some points

Homework

Daft Punk

1/5

Another electronic music album I am not finishing. I managed to get halfway through it and got the ideia If I wanted to listen to this shit Id take my earphones off on my old gym (and electronic music is the reason I left that one and chose another instead)

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

Different Class

Pulp

5/5

Disco 2000 makes me so nostalgic

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

I've seem people choosing Love of My Life as a wedding song, which is insane. This one is sad as fuck. I love Queen but I cannot listen to Bohemian Rahpsody without thinking of that Glee scene HAHAHAH please don't kill me

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

3/5

Cross

Justice

1/5

I wonder if anyone rating this above 2 stars was high on drugs because I have trouble believing it’s possible to enjoy thiswithout a shitload of LSD in your system I dont like to say this because I understand music is subjective but here it goes: this is crap

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

3/5

Some are killers some are fillers

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

2/5

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Soul is definitely not my cup of tea but I can recognize this is good and well executed. I'm torn between giving it 3 or 4 stars because I do believe it deserves 4 stars; problem is I was saving 4 stars for "things I'd keep a physical copy of" (even if it's something I think it deserves 3 stars but I like the genre / artist anyway) So.... it's tricky
