3/5

It sure sounds like an album from the fifties alright. Still decent I guess.

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Excellent album with some amazing all-time grunge songs like Serve the Servants and Heart-Shaped Box. Some songs do feel too rough or screamy for me, the most egregious example being Scentless Apprentice which has an almost unlistenable chorus.

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

Some good bops on this record but man he really does not sell love songs at all. Maybe it’s because of my pre-existing bias about, yknow, but it just feels like a slog. The rest is pretty good though

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

Very charming folk record with no duds.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

My Generation

The Who

2/5

A quite lengthy album with nothing that stands out about it. Songs sound quite similar to each other and don’t go anywhere interesting.

Foo Fighters

2/5

The songs are all…..fine. The Foo Fighters were a competent band right from their debut. But the album isn’t all that engaging or interesting, though it isn’t offensive. The vocals didn’t have as much weight behind them as you would expect which contrasts with the rest of the albums sound. I do respect the albums story, with all of the instruments being played by Grohl as a solo project made in the wake of Cobain's death.

Django Django

4/5

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

1/5

I mean….I get it. It’s abrasive and noisy and all and I think the back half of the album is at the very least listenable. But those first five or so songs are genuinely unlistenable.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

It’s a lot of noodling and jamming. And yknow what? I like noodling and jamming. But it can only make an album so good in my eyes. 6/10

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Muse

5/5

God what a fantastic album. Maybe it’s because I’m tired of the more generic rock featured on this list, but this felt like such a breath of fresh air.

Tago Mago

Can

1/5

An incredibly annoying album. It took a lot of patience to finish it

Chirping Crickets
