Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

It's hard to look at this album in isolation given the legacy of AC/DC since it came out, and arena rock is a hard sell for me generally. That said, the rock and roll of it all is undeniable, and this record probably encapsulates peak AC/DC and is therefore well curated. Solid 3 stars.

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

I didn't realize how old this record was, which speaks to how ahead of its time it feels. Great stuff. 4 stars.

The World is a Ghetto

War

4/5

I don't have a ton of patience for jam bands but the number of times I had the reaction "it would be cool to sample this" redeems this for me.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

The legacy of this album is complicated. It can easily be interpreted as violently misogynistic and homophobic, but I think the gratuitousness of both is intentionally satirical and pushes the boundaries as art should. But it is definitely tough to listen to at times.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

5/5

The first artist I hadn't heard of before! I liked it.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

2/5

It didn't compel me.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

Neon Bible
