just good music man
everything feels very clean and clear - makes for drab lowlights (though "low" is still high)

the peaks are so high. i think the boring songs are quite blah though.

every song sounds like the perfect needle drop for an establishing scene in brazil for an iron man movie, extremely fun

i was introduced to this album by no surprises, and i think it completely ruined my perception of the album. now that i'm sitting down and giving it a proper listen, i can definitively say this rips.

my mom had this album on CD and i would hear it any time she drove me anywhere in high school. i always thought amy winehouse had a voice that no one else had.

maybe its because ive heard a lot of the music that comes after this, but this was pretty massively underwhelming outside of fame
highlights:

its a good album, i just wasnt expecting the oriental riff. the first half does a lot of hard carrying
highlights:
2112 overture / temples of syrinx / etc
twilight song
Feels kinda crazy that I got this album today. I've never been a huge fan of country, but these three woman are so talented that it doesn't really matter to me at all. RIP Dolly
Highlights:
To Know Him is to Love Him
Hobo's Meditation
Wildflowers
My Dear Companion
Those Memories of You
I've Had Enough
none of these songs were on the greatest hits compilations i listened to when i was younger on family roadtrips, but i love how clearly you can clearly glimpses into their future work
highlights:
father to son
ogre battle
the fairy feller's master-stroke
the march of the black queen
seven seas of rhye
really good five song run, but boring otherwise
highlights:
exhuming mccarthy
disturbance at heron house
it's the end of the world as we know it
the one i love
lightnin hopkins
the who in the middle of the album, start of the song be like: "the song is over." i feel like i was expecting so much more from this album knowing the start and ending, but there really isn't that much to write home about in the middle. that all being said, i wish to one day to give myself the space to scream like that
highlights:
baba o'riley
won't get fooled again
wow - lots going on here. i feel like there were genuinely good songs on here but it's all trapped between short bursts of noise. all that being said, crazy that they were doing this so early on.
highlights:
instinct of survival
scum
feels instantly pretty classic, but a little basic.
highlights:

mockingbird

i kinda really like this album. they sound like a grungier weezer with all the same ideas
highlights:
goldfinger
girl from mars
angel interceptor
lost in you
i have such a soft spot for this entire album.
highlights:
the entire first half
Just a great album
His voice is really nice, but honestly all of the songs felt pretty forgettable.
highlights:
the old man's back again (dedicated to the neo-stalinist regime)
There's something very Fleet Foxes-Everything Everything coded about this band that really itches a specific itch for me. Not really sure if I can take too much of it, but his voice and song composition really does a lot of carrying.
highlights:
oh what a world
vibrate
dinner at eight
I got genuine chills listening to this. It feels like I'm playing Cruisin' USA and I'm only driving straight, and I can feel the wind flowing through my hair. The rest of the album feels like a weird one-man show that you only get to see in a crazy apartment in Brooklyn.
highlights:
Autobahn
so crazy it's a debut album
highlights:
welcome to the jungle
mr brownstone
paradise city
sweet child o mine
ripping guitar solos, fast paced riffs, and nothing else. wouldnt want it any other way honestly. number of the beast and run to the hills are just excellent songs
highlights:
invaders
the prisoner
number of the beast
run to the hills
hallowed be thy name
I think I can only describe this as a whimsical album. I kinda dig the jingles, but they don't really make the album better or worse. Sorta feels like some shit Ween would do, but not really in a good way
highlights:
our love was
i can see for miles
relax
rael
Instantly funky. Funky all the way through. Absolutely love the crowd participation and the bonus drum solo at the end.
highlights:
black man's cry
ye ye de smell
ginger baker and tony allen drum solo
Just smooth and easy listening. Green Onions is a classic.
highlights:
green onions

mr melancholy knows how to make a good song. i never really listened to an album of his in full, but its so obvious how much of a blueprint he was for so much music i know and love.
highlights:
son of sam

in the lost and found (honky bach)/the roost
wouldnt mama be proud
cant make a sound
Very raw and very punk, but I feel like there is so much room for more. They were among the first, so I get it.
highlights:
search and destroy
penetration
shake power
death trip
I can't help but note how insanely wonderful this sounds, both in terms of fidelity and pop music sensibilities. The music sounds so prescient for its time, like what would happen if Amy Winehouse was born in a different decade. I guess that's just what influential music sounds like
highlights:
luckie
lu
sweet blindness
stoned soul picnic
woman's blues
Jay-Z's braggadocio is undeniable here. The entire production, from his lyrics to his flow to the beat selection, sounds like one big victory lap. It's a testament to its power that this dropped on 9/11 and is still talked about to this day. This man loves his lists, though.
highlights:
Izzo (H.O.V.A.)
J*gga That N*gga
Renegade
Feels like Zeppelin but before they really figured out their sound
highlights:
