Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Honestly? A 5. Great variety. Amazing production. Pretty moving lyrics. I am not crazy about stones but I can't find anything meaningful wrong with this album outside of mild criticisms

Fragile

Yes

5/5

1001 albums bizarre adventures

The Bends

Radiohead

3/5

good

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Im so jazzed up

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

immabluebirdimmabluebirdimmabluebird it is ok when it bangs it bangs when it doesn't it doesn't. 100/10 songs on here but as an album meh.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

4/5

hey i love green onions it is an instrumental album and definitely of the time. culturally significant. im a sucker for instrumental stuff. hard to review something like this in modern context. ill just say four stars.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

a certified classic to rob a Wegmans to 5/5

Joan Baez

4/5

amazing but a little drawn out at times. I agree with other ppl I think this can grow to 5 but I will give a 4 for now.

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

3/5

I forgot to review this uhh it is a 3. too bloated but nothing inherently bad.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

it alright. i think the last stretch of the album really shines but getting to that point feels like a slog at times. latter half is a high 4 but early parts of this album just a middling 3. if i could get 3.5 i would but i feel more inclined to round down here.

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

great. the instrumentals vary. the lyrics are just ok to boring at times on some songs but amazing on others -- drags it down to a 4 for me.

Don't Stand Me Down

Dexys Midnight Runners

1/5

yeah I gave up this was just Yorkshire boys yapping and forgetting to play music about halfway during a lot of these songs. I did not find it endearing just discordant and unfocused in a bad way.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

ziggy stardust is the coolest cat there is ever is

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

4/5

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

these dans are steely. good good good.

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

the latter half of this album saved it barely from a 2. There are better The Police albums imo. Enjoyable but disappointing.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

easiest 5 to give.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Homework

Daft Punk

2/5

an admirable but mistaken first album by Daft Punk. Love them but this is a miss for them. Odd RAM or some other album was not on there.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

5/5

it is good no real flaws

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

2/5

it sounds too Nashvilley, dead and cold for a country album. I have no doubt Steve earle has some absolute banger albums -- but this ain't one of them. Production killed it for me as well.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

best of 80s metal imo. 5.

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

good starter of alt rock genre. Really solid. Some songs were a miss but overall amazing project it is a 4

Guero

Beck

4/5

It is solid.

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

It should get a 4 from the original mixing but I'm knocking it down to a 3. It is difficult to really grant this higher imo because of the mixing. Instrumentals are legendary but vocals are washed and inclusion of bonus songs doesn't do it favors.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

5/5

Honestly I have no real criticisms here. It is great and dynamic and yeah here have a 5

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

5/5

mmm ya it is goooooooooooooood.

C'est Chic

CHIC

2/5

boring aaa I'm sorry I concur

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

I want to like this more but it just is not clicking with me. Eh.

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

2/5

this is maybe a 4/5 album with a production quality that sounds like this album is being played through the busted speakers at a dying Hot Topic store. I am used to shitty production and sometimes shitty production is a deliberate choice but...not here.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

5/5

god tier.

Signing Off

UB40

3/5

I don't think I like reggae tbh. I am indifferent to this album. There are some nice instrumentals but not enough to captivate me -- vocals are fine. It is just fine? 3 I guess.

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

history aside, this album just does not stand as well as other Judas Priest albums afterwards. Outside of a few tracks it hasn't aged too well imo and I just honestly thought if I wanted 70s/80s streamlined metal id rather just listen to KISS. I love Judas Priest but this does not hit.

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

4/5

Beautiful Enough said.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

5/5

this is an awesome album

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

5/5

it doesn't get much better than this gamers
