Pretty dang good! Perfect 90s sound and lots of great songs. Turns out I like this band a bit more than I thought.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

3/5

Not as bad as I thought it would be, but probably won't listen to it regularly. Too many fade outs at end of songs. Like...a lot.

Debut

Björk

3/5

Some of the songs were a little too out there for me, but I totally get the hype behind her. Absolutely has bangers I would listen to again. I have know about Bjork my entire life, but this is the first time I have listened to an entire album by her.

Epic and amazing. Long live Black Sabbath

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

Some really good songs, but a bit overblown for my tastes.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

5/5

I really enjoyed this album. George is wildly talented and this one shows it. Good mix of pop anthems and softer songs.

m b v

My Bloody Valentine

5/5

Modern classic by the masters of their craft.

Odessa

Bee Gees

4/5

Honestly...I liked this way more than I thought I would. A little too much symphonic passages as the album went on, but not at all what I expected from the Bee Gees.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

Huge fan. Elephant is my favorite of theirs, but this one is full of classics

Either Or

Elliott Smith

5/5

Beautiful production. Amazing album front to back. Love the full band sound he introduced on this album.

Technique

New Order

5/5

Love New Order, but wasn't familiar with this one. Love them even more now. No notes.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Ya know...I dont dislike the pepper boys, but about half this album kinda throws off the vibe of the rest of it.

All Things Must Pass

5/5

Absolute masterpiece. Long album, but didn't feel drawn out or boring once. Wonderful listen.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

Crazysexycool

TLC

3/5

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

I adored this album. Yeah, its weird, she's out there, but her song structures, use of percussion and ear for hooks made for a very enjoyable listen.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Two of their best songs with a bunch of filler sandwiched in between. Was not familiar with Country Honk so that was kind of interesting to hear. Idk why, but the Stones appeal to me less as I get older. Not a bad album, just not one I'd lean on when I'm in the mood for them.

Germs

5/5

Wowowow. Can't believe I have never heard this and its crazy to think that this came out in the 70s. Seminal album in the history of hardcore punk. Have to be in the right mood to put this on, but damn, what an album it is.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

I really want to like this band more than I do. The instrumentation is excellent, but I cannot get into the vocals for some reason. Still a classic for a reason.

Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

5/5

Badass album. Had no idea what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised with an album full of post punk goodness.

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

3/5

C'est Chic

CHIC

5/5

Really fun album. The bass and guitar work pulled me in. Apparently I like disco now. Big fan!

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

Absolute perfection. Everyday People had to be one of the best songs ever written.

Scissor Sisters

3/5

I was 18 when this came out, but only remember the band by name and was wondering how I missed it. After listening, I totally see why it passed me by. Definitely not something I would have appreciated at the time. Even now, after listening, I get why it might have been a big deal, but a whole album of this is too much for me. Some funky , groovy songs, but I think I would appreciate them more if a song or two were sprinkled amongst a playlist.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Liked it more than I thought. A lot of reggae blends together for me, but this had some standout tracks. Fun listen.

The World is a Ghetto

War

5/5
