Rubber Soul

Beatles

Rubber Soul is a layup for the 1st album out 1001. Transitional Beatles album with no bad tracks.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

1/5

This debacle is proof of the once ever present monoculture. I’ve never once actively sought out Lynard Skynard in any way. I’ve never bought an album, illegally downloaded a song, watched a video, or searched a song on a streaming service, yet I knew every word to half of the songs on this album. They’re not good songs, but somehow they’ve been around my whole life. All hail the monoculture!

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

I first heard about Arcade Fire from a now defunct magazine in the early 2000s around the release of Funeral. It was an incredible album that hooked me. It hit at the right time and helped herald in a new genre of rock music. Unfortunately, within 5 years, they gained worldwide fame, started playing arenas, and turned out this generic bastardization of their once original sound. It is a testament to the ridiculousness of the Grammys that this won for Album of the Year. Funeral and, to a lesser extent, Neon Bible deserved far more acclaim than this. Fame got to them, and they lived long enough to become the villain. Win Butler has been accused of sexual assault, his brother quit the band, and nothing they’ve ever put out comes close to their first album.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5

This is an incredible album for the samples alone. It took forever to get everything cleared and reached streaming, but when it did I listened to it for a week straight.
