Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

Fun listen with smooth moments, nothing ground-breaking musically or lyrically

Machine Head

Deep Purple

4/5

Blew my expectations away, gripping from start to finish. So many great riffs beyond “Smoke on the Water!”

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

1/5

Fun album musically, but does not give the listener nearly enough to chew on to justify such a long tracklist. Album is bloated beyond belief, and holds bland instrumentation throughout

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

Fun album musically, but does not give the listener nearly enough to chew on to justify such a long tracklist. Album is bloated beyond belief, and holds bland instrumentation throughout

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

Spectacular sound, fun and concise listening experience!

I Am a Bird Now

Antony and the Johnsons

3/5

Great sound and vibe.

Queens of the Stone Age

3/5

Super great riffs and vocals, a bit bloated. Looking forward to returning to this one a lot

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

1/5

This is what the vampires from Sinners sound like to me

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

4/5

Infectious and precise! Such a well-paced album and fantastic blend of styles. Loses some steam near the end.

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

5/5

A pretty spotless rock record balancing experimentation with timeless styles. Phenomenal

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

3/5

There’s talent, but this is a bit of a dry listening experience

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Many of the songs sound similar but they’re all good for this reason too

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

4/5

Gorgeous, a little one-dimensional

Hot Fuss

The Killers

2/5

I understand the appeal, but it will never be me. The sound of this album emulates the settings that play Mr. Bright side: claustrophobic rage rooms. The sound does open as the album progresses, creating some prettier moments.

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

5/5

Extremely dynamic and concise. Great listening experience with songs I’ll be returning to. Love it!

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

4/5

I don’t usually love live albums but this one was great. Also my introduction to Cheap Trick

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

1/5

Generally empty and repetitive. This is musically stable, but there isn’t much to latch on to or appreciate. The dynamic melodies are often unsatisfying, leaving very few songs worth returning to.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

Nice groove throughout but the songs drag a little. It’s a nice album to put on here and there, but I don’t see myself playlisting too many of these tracks.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

Excellence in songwriting!

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

Great sound the whole time, but a little one-dimensional. I wouldn’t recommend listening past the hits of this album

Bert Jansch

2/5

Great album but not really my thing

McCartney

Paul McCartney

3/5

I like the album, but it doesn’t have the same magic as the Beatles’ albums

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

Good music!

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

I don’t love a live album but this is a good one

The Libertines

3/5

Some highs, some uninspired moments. Overall good

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

4/5

One time my high school US history teacher kicked all of the girls out of the classroom and played his “super manly man” playlist that was just the Allman Brothers

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

2/5

This album is intense and gritty. I can hear the quality, but I’m not interested in returning regularly.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

3/5

Insanely good beats, some solid bars and flows across the board. I see why it is beloved, but there are better hip hop albums out there

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Such a cool album! The balance of instrumentals, electric and electronic, rock and techno, wow! I’m loving the sound, unlike anything I’ve listened to before

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

3/5

Super cool techno-jazz sort of sound

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin
