Paul Simon

3/5

Falls just short in a lot of ways for me. Not catchy enough to be good '70s folk pop, not poetic enough to be good Blues or standard Folk, not leaning into influences enough to match up to Graceland. Highlights: "Run That Body Down", "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard"

Parklife

Blur

2/5

Overstays its welcome - sounds very unique at first but ends up having very little variety in instrumentation, structure, vocals, lyrics, etc. Too goofy for me at times :'( Highlights: "Girls and Boys", "Badhead", "The Debt Collector", "To the End"

Adele

2/5

I fear most of these are not very interesting pop songs! Adele is just so much worse at being sad than emo singers and I do not really care about or identify with her relationships! Highlight: "Rolling in the Deep"

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

Warm and fun as expected! Nice to listen to all the way through. Highlights: "Coat of Many Colors", "My Blue Tears", "Here I Am"

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

2/5

Fun and some songs have interesting background instrumentation but it's always overlaid with boring synth. I guess I could see not liking this album if I was a parent in 1992. Highlights: "The Day The N-z Took Over", "Lil' Ghetto Boy", "A N-a Witta Gun"

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

4/5

Very nice dynamics (from song to song) and textures. I don't love his voice or lyrics but I get the allure. Every song pretty enjoyable Highlights: "I Remember Me", "Friday Night Fever"

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

3/5

Fun, bouncy, interesting even when the content is most grotesque Highlights: "What They Hittin' Foe?", "A Gangsta's Fairytale", "Rollin' Wit the Lench Mob", "The Mob"

...And Justice For All

Metallica

1/5

This is like the laziest Metallica tribute band's first album of new content. No interesting songs really. Also "The Frayed Ends of Sanity" is based on the Winkies' chant from The Wizard of Oz??? Highlights: "Eye of the Beholder" kinda, "To Live Is to Die" because mostly instrumental

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Very eclectic and off-kilter, mostly fun. I like the tone shift of the last few songs Highlights: "Heroes", "Moss Garden", "Neuköln"

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

Little did they know that he was going to get so much freakier... Highlights: "Girl from the North Country", "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall", "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right", "Oxford Town", "Corrina, Corrina"

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

3/5

Tries to be very smooth and sometimes succeeds, but other times alternates between goofy and dry. Highlights: "Smoke 'Em", "Methadonia"

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

Absurd flow and nice beats for an hour. Most songs are highlights Highlights: "Shame on a N-a", "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'", "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit", "C.R.E.A.M.", "Method Man"

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

2/5

There are so many things happening all the time and none of them are interesting Highlights: "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 1", "In the Morning of the Magicians"

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

When they breach out da acoustic I go :O, better than previous listens and nice to sit through Highlights: "Mother", "Goodbye Blue Sky", "Is There Anybody Out There?", "Comfortably Numb"

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

Keeps on driving in a fun way, some precisely vague production if you know what I'm saying Highlights: "Something Against You", "Gigantic", "River Euphrates", "Where Is My Mind?", "Vamos"

NEU! 75

Neu!

2/5

Neat album for its time but one of those ones that has really lost its individuality over the years. Highlights: "Isi", "Leb' wohl"

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

2/5

Every song felt like the bog standard vanilla 80s in a different way. "Money for Nothing" is Foreigner, "Why Worry" is Kenny Rogers, "One World" is Stevie Wonder. All imperfect comparisons but close enough to get across how bland most of the album was. Highlights: "Walk of Life"

Violent Femmes

3/5

Like every folk punk band since, they have some crazy bangers but many songs are just not super fun or interesting or nice. Highlights: "Blister In The Sun", "Please Do Not Go", "Gone Daddy Gone", "Good Feeling"

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

Listening to jazz always makes me feel like a knuckle-dragging thoughtless hopeless joyless ape. Too sleepy for this anyways. Highlights: "Blue in Green"
