The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

3/5

Clever lyrics, didn’t love the beats, some repetitive themes about struggling with fame, wildly homophobic

2/5

Some talented musicians but really not my style

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

4/5

Enjoyed as a bluegrass fan despite NGDB being a bit of a bubblegum bluegrass band. Once saw them live at a free concert at the state fair so I’m going to be a little generous with the rating

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

Some catchy songs but not on the same level as Random Access Memories

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

I was listening to this while running and one of my earbuds died after the first song, but I enjoyed what I could hear. Was between a 3 and 4

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Rare that an album has such a good concept and execution. Haven’t listed to this in a while and really enjoyed it

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

Psycho killer is an all time great but the rest of the album leaves me wanting a little more. Psycho killer bumps it to a 4

Really well done

Murder Ballads

Another Bowie Banger. I do prefer Ziggy Stardust however

Some cool songs but I don’t think I’m the right audience for this

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Very creative and well done

The Predator

Ice Cube

4/5

Not a lot of albums where anger is the prevailing emotion. Cathartic. Some good beats and lyrics as well

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

3/5

This is a 3.5 for me. Enjoyed the second half of the album more than the first half. It’s solid but not a lot of memorable songs a day after listening

Dire Straits

4/5

Doesn’t get much better than Mark Knopfler on guitar

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

3/5

I don’t hate Zeppelin but they’ve just never really done it for me

Some cool stuff in there but also a little disorganized and muddy

It was fine but unremarkable

Interesting album. Some good songs, some cheesy songs, some aggressive songs. Not quite sure what to make of it

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

Started strong, but many of these songs were somewhat forgettable. Props for taking on such a big project. Did not listen to the whole thing

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

2/5

Now this is some synth noodling

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Great song writing as always from these two. America is one of my favorite songs of all time

Eliminator

ZZ Top

Music for pickup truck commercials and montages in cheesy sports movies. We’re supposed to pretend this is good because they have long beards or something

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

Always love the duke
