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

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

Tom Tom Club

3/5

Graceland

Paul Simon

1/5

Sincere

Mj Cole

1/5

Some of the worst music I have ever listened to. Really repetitive and boring, bland. Music suited for a shopping mall or mid 90's hip café. It is awfully long. It is really, really bad. Awful choice. Is this guy the cousin of the dude making this list?

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

1/5

Very generic, underwhelming, repetitive and kinda of a cure/bauhaus knockoff. It was bad. I couldn't really finish it.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Great record I had already listened to it before. It is a rock classic. From top to bottom.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

B-52's

The B-52's

3/5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

2/5

I liked one song that I already knew. Very disjointed album. I dislike repetitive albums but this literally sounds like an album written by different bands,

The World is a Ghetto

War

5/5

Some of the best stuff I have ever heard in this challenge. Truly inspired stuff. I don't really like this type of music but this really was great. City, country, city is gonna become a staple in my music listening, drinking fridays with my sister. It is great!

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

3/5

Some of the stuff was interesting and uncanny. I like listening to something different for once i a while. I wouldn't listen to it again though.

Pelican West

Haircut 100

2/5

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

4/5

At first I thought I was gonna hate it but honestly I liked almost every song. It is underwhelming in a good way.
