American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

Is murder so wrong? Yeah. But nonetheless appealing, at least symbolically. Sounds like he’s singing from his deathbed. Cried a few times listening.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

A few great songs but as many i do not care for. He has the voice of a work on a string, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Happy Man is awesome. Great guitar. Still not a fan of ballads.

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

Interesting sounds. Not amazed. But not bad.

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

Mostly good. Very cool. Rolling Stone drags a bit, Do Your Thing and Funky Music are great.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

2/5

Love Sidewinder but I just couldn’t connect with this one. It’s boring to me. The “pain” feels fake. Maybe I’lll like it more in a couple years.

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

2/5

It’s alright. The extra soulful parts just sound phony. That said, I love Karma Chameleon and Mister Man. It’s a Miracle is also very listenable. Looking forward to George Michael. I have a feeling he does this sound better.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

Great album. Son of Mr Green Genes and It Must Be A Camel favorites. Peaches in Regalia kinda sounds like video game music. All songs good. I would like this album more if there were more songs!! Willie The Pimp gets stuck in my head way too easily, but not as often as i’d like.

Common

5/5

Amazing. Like someone is handing you memories.

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

3/5

Pretty cool. That’s it though. Just cool. Strychnine is awesome though.

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

1/5

Clean, detached, kinda boring. 2 songs are sorta interesting but overall i’m not very impressed.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

This british band makes me feel american. Very good. I love the horns

The Stone Roses

2/5

Love Adore Me. Some beautiful sounds on here, but not impressed by too many songs.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

Pretty good. I like plenty of the songs, but I still prefer Time. Need to listen to this again later.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

Already familiar! I rediscover this album about once every year and it becomes the only thing I can listen to for a few days. Amazing album.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Very good. Kinda creepy.

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

2/5

Okay. I really like Wonderful. Some interesting stuff but a lot also not so interesting. Almost Ween-like in some songs like Liquid Bird. Not a bad album, just feel like I’ve heard most of it before (even though I haven’t).

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Beautiful album. Can really hear how influential it is. Most of these albums could probably be described as “ahead of their time” and this one absolutely is. Another Planet rules.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

1/5

Unimpressive. Way too vocal-focused for me-can’t appreciate the music at all. I was bored and a little irritated trying to listen to this. She’s not untalented, I just can’t find anything that grabs me in this album.

Music

Madonna

3/5

Pretty good. I was surprised with how unique this sounded. Don’t like every song, but most have something interesting about them. Paradise almost sounds like a Damaged Bug song.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

2/5

Didn’t grab me. Black Sheep Boy is good, but his singing takes me out of most songs. Scott 3 is good and the avant garde 80s stuff sounds interesting, but this one doesn’t do it for me.

System Of A Down

5/5

All hits no misses. Nothing like it. These guys knew what they were doing from the start.

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Beautiful. Unsure how to rate this. Need a few months with it at least.

Dookie

Green Day

2/5

Uninteresting. Everything sounds so agreeable. Punk for middle school. Except for Basket Case, this did nothing for me.

Konnichiwa

Skepta

2/5

Not a fan. I feel bad for British rappers.

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

2/5

Really not sure how this made the list. Extra star for the cricket call and response song. That was cool.

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

4/5

Not super familiar with country music but this one was great. Brass Buttons stood out - poignant and so well done on every level. Will revisit. Not sure why but I hesitate to give a 5. This may change.
