Master Of Puppets

Metallica · 1 likes

5/5

Incredible album. Thrash metal as a genre can get a little campy specially in the mid 80s. This album is different, it takes itself seriously. The production is impecable, a truly seminal piece of metal that has stood the test of time. Personally I think that Metallica never reached these heights ever again. It is their best work by far.

Rage Against The Machine

1/5

Kinda bad honestly. The album is very repetitive and the guitar production is tiny. It was like listening to one long song.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Dirt

Alice In Chains

5/5

Incredible record, tremendous vocals and instrumentals. Jerry Cantrel's riffs are amazing. Just an incredible and raw, emotional experience. It is a certified classic. I loved it.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Really liked it. It is very emotional and droning at the same time. The production is great. It feels frantic at times. A few tunes will become a staple of my beer drinking sessions. Good record.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

I liked it. It is a very emotional record. I had never listened to any Bruce Springsteen records fully I and can get the grandiosity. It is a personal, deep rooted album made for regular folks. There is something intensely blue collar about it. I think it was great, but I don't think that it is my cup of tea personally.

Illmatic

Nas

4/5

I really liked it. It surpassed my expectations a lot.

New York Dolls

4/5

I already liked this record. Incredible and raw piece of influential rock. Fun and sleazy.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

I had always heard about them but never really did. Really liked them and will listen to some more in the future.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

Incredible record. I never knew or even heard about this artist. But he was amazing. A truly haunting record. A real hidden gem for me.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

3/5

I know it is a classic record and I liked it. But honestly it was a bit underwhelming.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

I liked it and there were some very good parts. I get why it is a classic album. But I don't think I will listen to it again. Very good record though.

The Stooges

4/5

I always liked this record and love the stooges. This record was a staple in my life when I was traversing a very rough patch. I love this record.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

2/5

Very underwhelming. Very repetitive. The instrumentation is awful. There are two great songs but the rest is not good at all.

Me Against The World

2Pac

4/5

Le Tigre

1/5

Honestly. The worst record I have ever heard. This is so bad!

The Stone Roses

3/5

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

2/5

Very bad. I could barely finish it. I really didn't like it but not as bad as RATM and Le tigre.

Dog Man Star

Suede

3/5

I really liked it. It was an intense, yet melancholic record.

808 State

3/5

Really liked it! Sometimes electronic music can be a bit repetitive but this is not the case. Would recomend.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

Ananda Shankar

2/5

I didn't like it that much honestly. The covers were very uncanny.

Back In Black

AC/DC

1/5

Boy this was a long one. AC/DC is one of those sacred cow bands that were ubiquitous during my adolescence. I don't like them at all. This is a legendary record but it's awfuly repetitive and simplistic. It's just not my cup of tea. There are some better songs like "shake a leg" and "you shook me all night long". But if it wasn't for the challenge I would not have listened to this. It was rough!!!

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

3/5

I liked it a lot. I love this artist and I discovered it thanks to this challenge. I liked his debut album better but I really liked this one.

White Denim

3/5

pretty entertaining record. I liked it. It has some impressive instrumental parts but I doubt I will listen to any of it again. Solid record.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

Odessa

Bee Gees

2/5
