4/5

I really enjoyed this album, it was an enjoyable listen. I had previously heard the title track and Life in the Fast Lane, so it was nice to hear the rest of the tracks on the album. It was a perfect to just listen to by the pool or something and relax. My favorite track was Try and Love Again.

4/5

Technique

New Order

3/5

This was definitely an interesting album. You can tell that it was made in 1989, the album is full of synths, combining rock and dance music wonderfully. I would say it was a solid album for me, Im glad I listened to it, but it’s not a standout for me either.

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

I went into this album not really knowing what to expect, normally I wouldn’t listen to this type of music. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this album was an enjoyable listen. The album was filled with numerous different instruments, each song was unique. The album combines Latin and psychedelic into a unique rock album, filled with cool guitar solos. I would say that this was a solid album. This was probably one of my favorite mainly instrumental album I’ve listened to. My favorite tracks were Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen and Mothers Daughter.

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

I have never listened to a David Bowie album before, so it was nice to finally be able to listen to one fully. At first, the album really drags on with the first track, but as the album goes on the tracks get stronger and stronger. The album standouts for me was I can’t give everything away, and Lazarus. I am definitely looking forward to listening to more of his albums.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

This album definitely grew on me. At first I honestly didn’t really like the album, but im glad I kept listening. It ended up being a pretty solid album that was pretty unique sonically. My favorite tracks were Sabotage and The Scoop.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

This was honestly a pretty mid album, the songs all kinda blended together for me. My favorite tracks were Under the Bridge and The Greeting Song.I probably wouldn’t listen to this again, the album felt like it was a little too long personally.

808 State

2/5

This was alright honestly, it was a bit funky but it wasn’t like unlistenable. Would I listen to it again? Probably not. Favorite song on the album was Ancondia, Pacific 202 wasnt bad either, the rest was all meh?

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

5/5

Wow, I loved this album so much. The instrumentals are amazing, especially the strings and guitar throughout the album. The vocals were great as well. It was so peaceful and enjoyable to listen to, made me feel like I was in a peaceful cabin in the woods. That was one of the most enjoyable 41 minutes I’ve had in a while. My favorite tracks were River Man and Saturday Sun. 5/5 album for me!

I see why people always rave about the Beetles now, this album is so weird and quirky yet amazing. Every song on here is catchy and unique. My favorite song was Good Morning Good Morning. This was the first ever Beetles album I have ever listened to, and I think this was a great introduction to their discography, I can’t wait to listen to more of their albums! Easy 5/5 for me.
