5/5

Crazy this sounds so ahead of its time. The blueprint for alt rock for the next two decades. Ya it’s a banger. Where is my mind is great. So are lots of other songs.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

Better than I thought. Really expected this to just be dad rock. and it was, but it was also good. Best tracks for me: Luna, Fooled Again, Strangered in the Night.

Smash

The Offspring

1/5

A couple tracks were alright. Most of it feels like an angry 12 year old child of divorce got the Tom Hanks’s “Big” experience. And also, hidden tracks suck! Songs that I didn’t dislike: keep em separated, self esteem (this has bad romance intro).

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

1/5

Unplugged more like un good. I’ve never really gotten into nirvana or grunge in general and this live set with all the energizing electric sounds removed certainly didn’t change my mind. Plateau here is genuinely one of the worst vocal performances I’ve heard.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

This is like the Stone’s Hard Days Night in that it’s their first record with all originals. But also the analogy holds in. That they aren’t at their strongest yet. Still good! But between the buttons, let it bleed, satanic majesties are all better imo. I really can’t believe the UK version just left paint it black on the shelf like that though. Fave tracks: going home, out of time, take it or leave it

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

What a great record. Beautiful songwriting. The more orchestra heavy songs aren't landing for me as strongly as the rest of the record. Old man and Words are incredible songs. Listening to this, the influence many of my favorite artists take from Neil Young is abundantly clear. Wilco, Jason Molina, etc.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

The grooves were pretty good. The flute on Freedom Rider was awesome. I really liked the rendition of the classic John Barleycorn song too. I rarely stay fully invested all the way through this kind of prog album. The ones that stand out are really great but this one was just alright to me.

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

Cool dramatic 80s alt sound. I like this stuff personally.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

Aja

Steely Dan

3/5

Nothing is really bad or anything per se, but this whole record feels a bit too clean and rigidly structured. It doesn’t feel alive to me. Also I hate the fusion rock saxophone production on here.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

I love Stevie wonders voice I could listen to him sing forever

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

4/5

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

Surprisingly chock full of complete bangers. Cowboy music may be the peak of human achievement.

Lupe Fiasco

Actually really good. A little long for me though.

Brothers

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

1/5

Bro I’m not even really ever into this type of pops in English. I fuck with Champs Elysees and all but this was just meh. Also the applause on this live recording is too loud

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

This was all around better than their debut honestly. Will def return to it.

Raw Power

New York Dolls

3/5

pretty alright

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

3/5

I like the old school hip hop sound a lot and so the beats carried this for me. Not a lot captured my attention otherwise.

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

the drama on this album is unbeatable

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

5/5

Crazy this sounds so ahead of its time. The blueprint for alt rock for the next two decades. Ya it’s a banger. Where is my mind is great. So are lots of other songs.

Make Yourself

Incubus

1/5

I have a pretty strong distaste for this sort of compressed clean distortion sound on 90s alt rock and nu metal type records. For such an "edgy" attempted image, this shit is too manicured, too controlled. boring and fake. its saved by like 2 decently good songs. drive and pardon me. and also the random hip hop moments which are the best parts of the record.

Violent Femmes

5/5

This album is very much my shit. I agree with just about every interesting choice they made here. Violin to close out? Hell yes.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1/5

So shit

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

4/5

not very focused listen but i liked it. gonna relisten for sure
