The Nightfly by Donald Fagen

I had to call out the lyrics in the first track because they really didn't age well at all: "A just machine to make big decisions" "Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision" The rest of the lyrics sounded like they were written by a cringey 18 year old boy. I've since discovered Fagen was also in Steely Dan. No wonder I hated it. Fucking dreck.

Medúlla by Björk

I like some Bjork, but not this Bjork… I wanted to give this a higher rating because I appreciate the creative/artistic vision and risk taking, but wow, was it ever hard to listen to.
