3/5

Holy repetition, batman! I also didn't love the singer's voice personally.

4/5

Plesantly surprised at just how much I like this album, given my general dislike for rap (just not my genre personally). I've been referencing "So Fresh, So Clean" for maybe my entire life without realizing that was the same guys who were apologizing to Ms. Jackson and also the guys on that very green set singing "Hey-Ya!"

4 stars bc Dave Grohl cheated on his wife. Otherwise I like the album, I think it'll continue to grow on me.

Hit or miss for me.

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

Genuinely great, David Bowie is the master of taking you on a Journey. I don't think I'll add the songs individually to my rotation because they work so well together that I would need to judt listen to the album itself.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

No such thing as a bad Green Day album, but I like other releases from them better.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

3/5

I can recognize this album as a staple of the genre and an icon, and as a good album. It's just also not an album that's for me!

Kimono My House

Sparks

5/5

Honestly didn't think I would like this album so much, but it's a full banger.

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

I like this album a LOT. Much better than "In Rainbows" imo

2112

Rush

5/5

I was intimidated by the idea of a 20 minute opener, but I really liked this album! The 20 minute opener didn't drag, and the album is a lot of fun.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

I like this album more than I thought I would, but I don't love the album.

Kala

M.I.A.

4/5

If you go into this album expecting it to sound like paper planes, you will either be surprised it doesn't sound like paper planes OR you will be disappointed. I, however, enjoy this album very much.

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

1/5

This is the kind of sound I personally do NOT enjoy in country albums, but reading the background was so interesting it makes me want to bump this album up to 2 stars. I won't, but it's crazy how that is.

Stankonia

Charles Mingus

4/5

I was deeply surprised to find so many strong opinions in the reviews of this album. I can't believe so many people hate jazz. I don't, but I don't tend to have a bunch to say about jazz, but I did enjoy this album. It takes the listener on a journey in just 4 songs, which is more than a lot of modern abums can say they do. It's well performed and well recorded. If you really like jazz, this rocks. If you feel kind of middlingly about jazz, this is a very good jazz album. And if you already hate jazz, it's not going to change your mind probably.

Dirty

Sonic Youth

2/5

I liked a handful of the songs, but overall this album is not for me. I have some friends who would love this album though. I really don't like when the woman scream sings. She sounds awful. When she sings normally she sounds fine. Several 7 minute instrumental tracks make up the back half of the album and they wore on me SUPER fast.

2/5

I won't be listening to this album again. It is interesting, but I can see whyso many people hate it. You have to be VERY open minded for this album. I can't see a situation where I will happily put this album on for a casual listen, but if you're trying to see how far away from traditional music an album can get, this is it.

Document

R.E.M.

2/5

When people say they like 80's music, this is the kind of music I think of in my head.
