Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

Enjoyed the music as background music. Never felt tired of it or like I wanted to turn it off. Would listen to it again, but probably wouldn't seek it out, out of the blue.

The Score

Fugees

5/5

Total banger. Songs I know, songs I don't, all great. Some all time great songs in here. Loved it.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

2/5

Not a fan. Slow stoner music, and the extra effects also made the lyrics difficult to pick out to find a redeeming quality.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

2/5

I'm not smart enough on musical theory to understand the technical greatness of this, though I recognize it was groundbreaking. It was fine, but not my thing.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

2/5

The songs might have felt quite meaningful in their day, and I can catch pieces of that, but the lyrics often felt nonsensical and hard to follow

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

Overall not a fan. I was almost able to come up to a 3* because of some of the songs I recognized and liked, but so many of the songs were too slow for my taste, and the album had a lot higher concentration of ones I didn't enjoy because of the density of those

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor

Lupe Fiasco

3/5

Great example of a 3*. I enjoyed it, but nothing got me overly excited to hear again

The Velvet Underground

1/5

I was annoyed every moment of this album

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

Generally enjoyable

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

Top knotch beats and flow. Ichronic songs. The lyrics weren't quite as timeless as other albums from that era

System Of A Down

4/5

I love this style and era of music. this is not my favorite example of it, but still enjoyed

The Band

2/5

Almost enjoyable at times

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

2/5

Whenever I'm looking for nonsensical and depressing storytelling, I'll come to this album. But I'm not holding my breath

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

I was excited to see this pop up. I enjoyed listening to it and the style, but it wasn't quite dynamic enough to get all the way to 5* for me

American Pie

Don McLean

3/5

I enjoyed it, and was never unhappy, but it's not something I'm excited to listen to again or would seek out. Would enjoy it if I heard again though.

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

3/5

Nothing here got me too excited, but it was enjoyable. The style feels a bit like an earlier Taylor Swift, with the mix of pop/country/slow rock. It doesn't reach those same highs, catchiness, and lyrics imo, but still enjoyable.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Even though the style is a bit specific in its theme, it's smooth and enjoyable to listen to. It has jazz undertones, even though it's identified as soul, and the vocals match the instrumentals so well.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

Very cool guitar work, and I enjoyed the vocals. It was good, and a style I don't mind.

Nevermind

Nirvana

3/5

I expected to really dislike this album, and I actually didn't as much as I expected to. That being said, I didn't love it, and there were definitely some obnoxious songs in there.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

Definitely unique and different. I didn't find anything to strongly dislike, but it was a bit tiring to listen to after a while, especially with some of the "unique" songs

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

2/5

There were some quite annoying sequences that got repeated over and over for a long period of time. That definitely sullied my opinion some. This isn't my style. When the instrumentals got interesting, the vocals were annoying. So it just kinda missed for me.

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

3/5

Definitely falls into the repetitive trap, which detracts quite a bit from it. Some of the songs would have been pretty enjoyable if they hadn't just been the same 5 words repeated for 2 minutes straight. I have to say though, there were some beats that got me unintentionally foot tapping.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

The rhythm and flow of 90s hip hop and R&B is unmatched. When Doo Wop came on it took me right back to high school. Add in some gospel, and I enjoyed. I don't know if I could ever throw it on repeat for a day and lose myself in it, so it doesn't quite get to 5*, but it was good.

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

This is another one that I'm surprised, hearing the style, that it's from so long ago. This totally sounds to me like 2010s/2020s alternative rock. Which probably makes it foundational to some degree. It was fine, I was never unhappy, but kinda like background music in the car, not something I'd be excited if it came on.

Odessa

Bee Gees

4/5

I found this strangely epic, with orchestral sounds. But then it would contrast with some banjo and country bumpkin sounding music. It had some memorable lyrics, and a diverse sound. I think I have to give it a 4.

Konnichiwa

Skepta

4/5

First of all, this guy looks like DMX. Similar style, but quite the different voice. The lyrics and vocals here are great; he does a great job of rapping to the beat and clearly. None of the lyrics grabbed me as life changing, but still all well done. Also, great outro to the album.
