Black Sabbath

3/5

It is good, but not their best. Or maybe just not as much to my taste. I think it needs more listens from me to give a thoughtful review.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Iconic

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

So good and iconic but not really my taste as an entire album

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

Already listened and loved

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

It's not my typical genre so I think I would enjoy it more after more listens. But really good stuff

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Some of the songs are already masterpieces on their own, but together in this album it just becomes the most magical and transcendent experience. Some of the smoothest transitions and gnarliest riffs, while also managing to tell a compelling story evoking childhood, loneliness and emotional trial. Doesn't quite reach the same height as DSOTM but very nearly; to me it is pretty much a perfect album.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

3/5

Not my favorite genre but I appreciate it for what it is and how it's influenced modern artists

Mask

Bauhaus

3/5

Gothy 80's goodness but nothing special for me in this moment

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

This is fucking groovy. I have been overlooking this band for way too long and am now a fan

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

3/5

Nice and mellow. Not super remarkable

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

One of his best

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

2/5

Funky but forgettable

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

Starts off really good, second half forgettable

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

3/5

I love Pink Floyd but this album is Beatles-lite to me

Beautiful Freak

Eels

3/5

Thought it was the same singer as either Cake, Pavement or Wilco. Is it a requirement to have this kind of voice to do hipstery alternative rock in a band named after a single word? I liked it but I couldn't stop thinking about this and comparing them

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Gas

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

2/5

I actually think this is a good album musically with some great beats and smooth grooves, but it's just not my style and I would not listen again. And my ratings are for Me :)

The Poet

Bobby Womack

3/5

The type of album I would bump if I was a single woman in the 80s coming home to my high-rise apartment after a long day at my office job

Mothership Connection

Parliament

2/5

Not my thing

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Stones are not really my thing + they have better albums

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

3/5

This one feels a little ahead of its time, very 90s grunge. A lot of emotion in his voice

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

2/5

Just ok

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

I don't really have an ear for jazz yet but this is fire for sure

En-Tact

The Shamen

1/5

Not enjoyable. Forced myself to listen. Sounds like the soundtrack to an unknown video game from the 90s

Hypnotised

The Undertones

2/5

At first I felt like the sound was kind of outdated, but by the second half of the album it had grown on me and become more charming. Still, it does feel a bit repetitive throughout and there was not really any standout songs

Closer

Joy Division

3/5

Love Joy Division and their sound but this album is a lot weaker than their first, not really any standout songs. Still enjoyable overall

The Stone Roses

5/5

One of my favorite albums of all time. Listening to this feels like ascending to a British heaven of indie rock yearning. I wanna be adored is a masterpiece song and a crazy opener, those first few chords get me every time

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Tender

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

I feel very white giving this a 4 but it's just good

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Maybe the most beautiful album in the world. She is the blueprint

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

3/5

I think this is the kind of album that needs to marinate over a couple listens

1999

Prince

3/5

Quintessential

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

4/5

Kind of life-changing. Why am I even listening to other kinds of music

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Cohesive masterful and in one word superior

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

1/5

Such a corny and outdated sound. The coverart is borderline clickbait lmao. Every one of these songs has it's place on the soundtrack of some 3-star family movie from the 80s, in the worst way possible

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

3/5

This is a good-sounding album that just doesn't stick out to me

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

Cool. Spunky.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

4/5

This was more complex and intriguing than I expected. Nothing crazy or mind-blowing but a step above still. In general for music I think there must have been something magical in the air in the late sixties-mid 70s

Joanna Newsom

3/5

Giving Bjork amongst others

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

3/5

I think a key word for this album is intriguing. The cover art, the lyrics, the sound; All of it is very intriguing but falls just short of enticing

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

4/5

I mean this is basically a Best of Bob Dylan album

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

Sumthin sumthin Last Nite by the Strokes

Boy In Da Corner

Dizzee Rascal

2/5

Cool but soo tiring and longggg

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

I respect the craft but it's not my thing

The Rising

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Springsteen in a blender. Nothing distinguishable or remarkable here

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

I got Springsteen 2 days in a row so I guess he was mad about my previous rating. Fine, this is alright. Not my favorite genre but it has emotion and a solid sound

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

3/5

This is cool, I wasn't blown away but I'm interested in looking into the rest of their discography

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

This artist disturbs me because he is very similar looking to an evil man I was involved with once. But the album was good, like a dreamy living poetry session

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Good but not their best

Medúlla

Björk

3/5

I love Bjork but this album doesn't really stick out to me in her discography

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

5/5

Oozing with character and charm. Simply peak

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Aretha is like a goddess of music, I don't know what else to say. I like some of the songs more individually than as an entire album experience hence the 4

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

Call me crazy but this album is kind of average as far as the Beatles go if you take out I Love Her and Can't Buy Me Love

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

Did not stand out to me even after two listens

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

2/5

She has a great voice and everything it is just very outside of my usual taste so not so enjoyable
