5/5

Damn near perfect front to back

Blackstar

David Bowie · 1 likes

3/5

Moody and ethereal. It's good, but not a ton of variety in sound throughout.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

Dark and atmospheric. Seems to run out of steam through the back half, but great energy on side A.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Fun album. The blues influence is front and center on this one.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

Super chill album. I wouldn't say this is a consistent album, but the highs are spectacular, the lows are just kind of boring.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Not their best album, but it still rips. Listen to it as loud as possible.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

2/5

Dylan just isn't my thing. I don't mind some of his stuff, but a whole album is just a slog.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

3/5

Good album, the Speakerboxxx half runs circles around The Love Below. There's better Outkast albums, but I'm not mad about listening to this.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

Such a fun album, keeps the energy up from start to finish.

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

2/5

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

3/5

Loving the jangly guitars on the upbeat songs. The ballads drag down the energy too much.

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

3/5

Runs a little long, but it's a fun album.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

1/5

Doolittle came up first for me and I couldn't recall why I disliked the Pixies, listening to this album brought it all back. Musically, it's not bad, but the vocals strip all my enjoyment out of the experience. Just weird for weird's sake, I hate it.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

4/5

Really solid and consistent album. Man on the Moon is such a banger.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down

The Dandy Warhols

3/5

The upbeat songs are fun, but there's not enough of them. The slower stuff just drags and grinds the album to a halt. Probably better served as music on in the background instead of being listened to intently.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Fun, quick listen. The singles are great.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

3/5

I'm not qualified to critique jazz at all, but it was a good listen. Very smooth and chill.

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

Very fun album. Came into it really only knowing the hits, but was nice to hear how musically interesting the entire record is.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

2/5

It's fine. Most the tracks have something fun going on musically. L'America and The WASP are terrible.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

The Residents

1/5

This sucks

2112

Rush

3/5

Surprised how short the album was. I enjoyed it.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

The bluesy stuff is good, but when they lean more rock is where this really soars for me. Great album.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

3/5

This is wussy music for wusses, but damn it's catchy as hell. Do yourself a favor and listen to the covers of The Scientist by Aimee Mann and Willie Nelson, they both blow Coldplay's version out of the water.

Metallica

4/5

It's a classic. Not as thrashy and much more commercial than their earlier stuff, but it still rips.

Very

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

It's a fun listen, very catchy songs. Mostly made we want to listen to Duran Duran.

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

5/5

Shame on me for not having listened to this band earlier. This rips.
