Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Enjoyed it more than I expected. Interesting lyrics tell the story of kids trying to find their way in this world, living fast and dying young. Great synth and guitar solos, sounds like I'm on the moon.

Black Sabbath

4/5

This was a surprise! I wasn't expecting to hear blues influences among the meavy metal guitars. It's rife with incredible guitar solos and drawn out musical interludes. The lyrics are harsh and paint the picture of a world in crisis.

Boston

4/5

Quintessential 1970's voice, so clear and clean, especially in the high register! More Than a Feeling was my favorite.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

2/5

The only song I knew was Kashmir, from marching band. All the songs were 30% too long and I don't care for the lead singer's voice. My favorite song was the 2 minute acoustic guitar instrumental.

Bad

Michael Jackson

5/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

It was alright. My first foray into “swamp rock”. Wouldn’t pick it up again. Favorite song: cover of I Heard it Through the Grapevine.

Low-Life

New Order

2/5

Did not enjoy the singer. Apathetic and strangely out of tune.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

3/5

Find it interesting that there's no real song structure or choruses. It's a stream of thought writing style. Can see how it would pair very well with drugs. Very Alice in Wonderland, nonsensical, random lyrics. Favorite song: A Very Cellular Song

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

5/5

Big surprise here! Enjoyed the jazz and big band elements. Top notch singing and some great lyrics.

Odessa

Bee Gees

3/5

Album was okay. Didn't particularly do anything for me. Flew under the radar lyrically and musically. Did enjoy the 2 instrumental pieces the most!

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Not bad! Whimsical and light on the ears. Enjoyed it.

Tago Mago

Can

1/5

Nope.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

Simple, stripped back storytelling. I always love a concept album. Sounds like I'm in an old timey saloon listening to a man tell his sad story over a bottle of whiskey.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

Fragile

Yes

4/5

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

2/5

Not my cup of tea. Frankly kind of offensive. But I appreciate it for what it is. Assumed it would be a 1, but it's a high 2.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

Bummed

Happy Mondays

2/5

The Score

Fugees

3/5

Digging the lyrics, they're interesting and different. Each song ends with some type of monologue. Love the woman's R&B type melodies.

Iron Maiden

2/5

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

2/5

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

3/5

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

That was enjoyable! The album cover is deceptive. It was folksy, dancey, and pleasant to listen to.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

What a spectacular album! I can see why it's such a cultural phenomenon. Cobain reminds me of the lead singer of Linkin Park and I get similar vibes from the music. There are many different genres sprinkled throughout the album, giving it variety. The lyrics are random at times, but feel emotional and heartfelt.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

Spectacular! I went down the rabbit hole learning about Jarrett and his incredible improvising skills.

On The Beach

Neil Young

2/5

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

2/5

Not very pleasant to listen to. Just a wall of discordant sound.

Technique

New Order

2/5

Shaft

Isaac Hayes

5/5

This is groovy! Like a combination of elevator music and a spy movie.

War

4/5

Political and social awareness album done very well. Gets the point across with challenging lyrics and great music to back it up. Reminds me a lot of Green Day!

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

5/5

Really dug this because it made me uncomfortable at times and reminded me of other experiences. Autobahn sounded like something they would play at Epcot and the others sounded like I was in a creepy sci-fi movie.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Didn’t care for the rap/rock. Guitar was good though.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

Heaven Or Las Vegas

4/5

Thoroughly enjoyed the vibes here. Kind of cool that the singer doesn't have lyrics. Instead, it's almost like speaking in tongues. I bet a lot of drugs were involved.
