Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Honestly can tell why I’m not as familiar with this album as say Songs in the Key of Life or Innervisions. “Boogie on Reggae Woman” is a banger, and I liked “Creepin’” but “You Haven’t Done Nothin’” sounds like a “Superstition” outtake. I liked “Please Don’t Go” but something about the cymbals was like nails on chalkboard

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Beautiful production, but I don’t know how much time personally I want to spend with a Death Album. I liked ‘Traveling Light’ but couldn’t escape that every track kinda feels like it’s looking to be a True Detective theme song

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

You can’t blame them for having tension and being headed for a breakup at this point—I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be to be in a band with Paul and have him invent Metal on Helter Skelter and then the next week he brings in Honey Pie

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

4/5

Overall a really fun album but oh my god what a stinker “student demonstration time” is

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

5/5

This ruled

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

Went in with no expectations and had a lot of fun. What great basslines

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

In terms of sequencing I really can’t believe Hurt is #2. Hard to follow!!

Sea Change

Beck

3/5

It’s good, but I prefer a more experimental, funkier Beck on Odelay or Guero. I liked “it’s all in your mind”

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

I forgot how much “Crosseyed and Painless” rips

Blue

Joni Mitchell

5/5

Longtime fave, no notes

The Doors

2/5

Too much electric organ for me!

Parklife

Blur

3/5

Boys who like Blur who like girls who like Blur

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

Nothing was bad but nothing really grabbed me

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

2/5

I like to think we’ve moved beyond the days of a hip hop album having a bunch of skits

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

2/5

I’m sure this was probably groundbreaking at the time but 30 years later it felt like a lot of generic techno idk

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

I think “I got sold but I’m not a soldier” is a better lyric

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Ride my llama

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

2/5

Felt long

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

4/5

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

I think these kids are going places!

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

2/5

Less grating than I expected, but ultimately my flavor of dad rock is much more on the steely dan end of the spectrum

Rapture

Anita Baker

3/5

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

3/5

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

That's Rock and Roll, folks!

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

Hey these guys are good rappers

The Modern Lovers

4/5

I’m in love with Massachusetts

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

4/5

Great music but I think Solomon has some issues with women (‘little girls’?) he should work on. Liked that “You Can’t Love Em All” had a had him arguing with the backup singers during the song

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

4/5

there's a lot in here where they are trying to piss you off- and it worked!! And then something would come through that was completely my shit and I'd be all over it. Had to reckon with the annoying parts getting my attention to really here the cool shit. It was a close battle but they got me. Also gotta give points to this album clearly having a huuuge influence on the 90s

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

2/5

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

3/5

Driving through Brooklyn listening to this and the vibes, as the kids say, were immaculate. Then I got stuck in the tunnel and realized how much noodling was going on

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

3/5

Is everyone gonna be mad if I say I thought "Winter" was an Evanescence song? Crucify is-in Nick's words- such a banger

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

3/5

This was all good but I just never connected with grunge the way people like ten years older than me did

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

i don't think i have anything original to say about bob dylan but these are some great songs

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

She really loves that coat! Overall too country for me in general tho

Fever Ray

3/5

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Mask

Bauhaus

3/5

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

4/5

I had fun

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast

Badly Drawn Boy

2/5

I should like this a lot but I feel like it's not sticking with me

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

It's alright but these were never my guys

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

4/5

Of course this is from 2001- this is like when Sydney Bristow would go on a mission in South America on Alias

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

5/5

Ana Gasteyer GIF: “But you love Ladysmith Black Mambazo!” ^it me

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

3/5

It seems good but this is never music I’ll turn to

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Famously good album, what can you say?

I Against I

Bad Brains

4/5

You know I was into this more than anticipated—I did not expect Secret 77 to be such a Duran Duran song

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

The songs that are on The Cream of Clapton I’ve heard a million times, and the ones that are new I liked! Except that one very vaudeville song that was the king of thing Paul would bring in and all the Beatles would hate

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

2/5

I had never listen to much frank ocean because I understood him to be sort of a slower, more navel gazey Kanye, and he’s not beating the allegations

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

3/5

I liked- some felt very contemporary and some felt very early 90s/groove is in the heart-style stuff

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

5/5

This project has really made me appreciate the virtues of the 30 minute album

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

Expecting a pretty big generational divide between myself and everyone else on this album- did we all listen to this one 100 times in high school or was that just me?

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

The Only Ones

5/5

I'm on song #2 but "Another Girl, Another Planet" is so much my shit that this album gets a 5 and im just mad I somehow never knew about this band before now
