It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

3/5

I just feel like it’s missing something…idk “I’ll put the cobwebs back in place” Okay it gets better as it goes on

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

Undeniably solid album which has quite a few songs I’ve liked on it. Revolution in the hands of yacht-rockers which I personally love

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

2/5

Not my fav, didn’t finish, a lot of the same things

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

It is probably not wise to judge a band against itself, but this album is limited in my mind as it competes against Jar of Flies which I am more partial to. Still solid, however, and I like the memento mori theme!

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

I don’t know Cyndi, I think you say a lot of really good things in here and have a powerful message, but the 80s electro-pop kind of unnerves me. Maybe that’s the point, like how plasticky consumerism still carries a deep message, but I probably wouldn’t put it on repeat.

Pump

Aerosmith

5/5

I hadn’t heard a lot of these songs since my childhood, sitting in the backseat of my mom’s minivan with my dad on air drums, and I’d forgotten about their existence entirely until now. Aerosmith has a LOT of good songs on this album, and now that I have remembered them my respect for Aerosmith is greatly increased.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

2/5

I like other Kanye better. I like other music better. I think the middle school locker room aura has tainted the listening experience a bit for me.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

OH MY GOODNESS there are so many good songs on here that are near and dear to my heart

Elephant

The White Stripes

3/5

Okay why is almost every song on here better than seven nation army. I don’t know if there is a great uniting theme to the album, but it’s really very good

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

2/5

The Beach Boys always had something good to say. But not the best for their style, and not best of the time.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Biased from the start, but this is one the great albums. Every song is not only widely popular, but personally resonant and fits in with Led Zeppelin’s overall tone. Beautiful, haunting, and catchy.

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

Okay whatever this is Judas Priest doing their nerd rock

American Pie

Don McLean

3/5

Don is very good at the poetic, and the piano, and the moving, and, of course, at making a song over 5 minutes that anyone is compelled to sing along with all the way through. While I like his less jaunty songs, I have more fun when Don seems to be having fun, and there is a shortage of those songs on this album.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

3/5

This album is not on Spotify sadly, but I listened to their other one of the same era

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

The Next Day

David Bowie

2/5

Biased because it’s Bowie, but also know of so many other albums by him that surpass this one.

Coles Corner
