2/5

The lyrics are terrible. Some of the corniest lyrics I've ever heard, vocals are just as bad.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

3/5

I really expected New Wave from the title and year. I had to keep checking that I had the same album playing because of the genre changes. This was fun to listen to

Slayed?

Slade

2/5

It was okay. Some decent songs but most kinda corny

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

2/5

I've tried with this band a few times, I just don't get it

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

This is good but some of these albums I don't know are "must listen" Do we really need to hear their 11th album? What about the other 10

Le Tigre

2/5

Maybe with like 5 more listens I'll get this but for now, have to say not my thing

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

A classic of Hard Rock. First half of the album is all bangers. Second half has Sweet Child and Rocket Queen. Other than those the second half is nowhere near as good as first

Siembra

Aerosmith

3/5

This is fine. Again, the list is too classic rock heavy. We don't need to hear Aerosmiths 4th album

Murmur

R.E.M.

5/5

A perfect debut

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Already knew this album but forgot how good it was. Used to think Rush of Blood was far and away their best but this is almost there

American Gothic

David Ackles

2/5

Right off the bat, did not like the first song at all. Gave it a few more tracks and started to grow on me, really liked the third song. I likely won't go back to this but I didn't hate it

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

4/5

Soul Mining

The The

2/5

I often hear "this 80s band is like no other" but honestly many of these New Wave bands sound the same to me. This is a fine album. Nothing really special

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

I like Kendrick. Love some of his albums and maybe it's just me but this isn't his best to me. I get everyone gives it a perfect rating but it's not quite there for me

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

4/5

I didn't think I would like this but really did

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

A classic. Not my favorite ELO album but you can't argue with Mister Blue Sky

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

3/5

This was an excellent rock/county record. I see all these terrible reviews and I don't get it. I would say a 3.5 but that's not an option

Feast of Wire

Calexico

5/5

Had no idea what this was going in and I loved it. 5/5

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

1/5

Not my thing

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

5/5

Just an absolute classic. The evolution of early NYC Boom Bap rapping into this laid back flow. Doing the track with Method Man just adds to it. I've struggled with the ratings system here because I've listened to 1200 albums and only like 12 of them are 10/10. I have this album as a 9 out of 10 but for here I have to give it the full 5 stars
