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

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
