Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

Fun album, not my typical fare. Really enjoyed the storytelling throughout.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

What can I say? This is an absolute classic of songwriting. Loved it throughout.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

This is a great album, one of their best. But maaaaaan it's long.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

The first album I bought on physical media! This is such a highlight from front to back. It really became them coming into their own, and leaving their standard style behind. A lot of experimentation, and a lot of absolute bangers.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Am really enjoying this. I've heard his hits, but never really listened to his music at large. The other songs seem to just be an extension of the hits. Great songwriting, probably misunderstood at the time, but in these times most of these songs hit hard. Definitely "working man's tunes"

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Pretty good album overall. Not really my thing but I can see why it’s up there. A good mix of blues and rock.

Being There

Wilco

2/5

It was okay. I didn’t sense anything groundbreaking but it was I suppose very good for the mid nineties. Didn’t hate it, but don’t remember much of it either.

Young Americans

David Bowie

5/5

Man this was so good. From the Beatles cover, to the two major hits, it's a great R&B album from one of the most prolific artists in the 70s. I don't think I'd ever listened front to back, but it was a great listen with no bad ones in there.

Melodrama

Lorde

5/5

This is in my top 25 easily. Her songwriting is extremely unique, and moving. This took everything from Pure Heroine and bumped it up. I've not been as big on her more recent releases, but this one never fails me.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

This needs no introduction. It’s a timeless classic that hits differently in different eras of life. The 50th anniversary remaster in Dolby Atmos breathes fresh life into it. I think I went ahead and listened three times. So damn good.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

1/5

This was the most forgettable album I’ve ever listened to. I honestly don’t remember a thing about it.

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

This was a decent blues album. There were some really good grooves here and there, but overall it was kinda middling to me.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

1/5

No. Just ... no.

Tommy

The Who

4/5

This was great. Rock opera, lots of themes, and just good jams.

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

Punk rock opera. Energy from start to finish. It tells an amazing story that was extremely relevant in 2004, and even more so in modern times. This is a 5/5 album, and always will be.

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

4/5

This was actually really good. I can completely understand how it got lost in the mix during the era - Beach Boys, Beatles, Bowie, Dylan - they never stood a chance. But it was a good half hour of music. Nothing groundbreaking but solid front to back.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

3/5

This was a great jazz album, perfect for listening at work. Nothing outstanding, but good, solid music throughout.
