It was just fine, very 60s, feels a lot like "beach boys but with some women too"

Cross

Justice

4/5

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

I wish this album had a stronger middle. One of my all-time faves - like a Dire Straits and Bob Dylan mash-up

Sunday morning vibes. Hannah gives it a 4

Tidal

Fiona Apple

2/5

Not bad at all, just not my jam. I would not come back to any songs on this album, but can appreciate the blues/r&b vibes. Also having never listened to Fiona Apple, this sounds EXACTLY like what I imagined it to sound like

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

3.5, rounding up to a 4. Can definitely see how this influenced future acts. Some great some, but mostly pretty meandering, with some songs to discordant and lofi for my taste

Queen II

Queen

4/5

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

3/5

I like Talking Heads (and David Byrne) in theory more than I like most of the music, especially this album. Just gets a little avante garde

Fantastic album that just runs out of steam towards the end

3/5

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

Pitchfork would love this album

The White Album

Beatles

3/5

There are so many great songs on here and also so many stinkers. Really interesting seeing all of the Beach Boys, Black Sabbath, and Stones parallels though. Did not need to be a double album lol

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

2/5

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

2/5

Holy shit how do people listen to a whole album of this? One song is like "hell yeah" but then it just keeps coming. So discordant and angry and unrelenting

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

2/5

Grandpa rock

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

Eh other than Maps it's a pretty boring rock album

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

It's just so much going on

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Bangers front to back. And MJ isn't too weird yet here

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

3/5

It was alright? Southern tinged modern rock. You could see how it led to their peak, but it just makes me want to listen to Only By the Night instead

Beautiful Freak

Eels

2/5

Music to do heroine to

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

1/5

So boring. Sounds like something my parents would listen to in the 90s that I would be bored by

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

A lot of the same. I know some Offspring songs and obviously they are super influential, but this just doesn't do it for me. Dude's voice is rough too
