Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

I sighed when I got this as my first album for this random generator. I had my teen / early 20s pretentious bias at a time when I was trying to find my own music. Listening to it now I can admit the bangers that this album had in the front half. Second half isn't much more than an OK.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Classics and less known greats. The dynamic range of the music is amazing and I found myself bobbing my head or humming along to all of the album.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Definitely one of the most easy listening album of reggae. I enjoyed putting on in the background while working

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

Parts of the origins of blues / rock. Not something I actively listened to but nice to have on in the background.

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

Some absolute bangers outside of the well known tracks. Interludes are unnecessary and don't really add much, and cause the album to be longer without any purpose

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

5/5

Wow! This album absolutely slaps! Amazing blues rock tunes which you can get lost in.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

Classic prog rock. More of a set and forget kind of thing unless you're really into it. Reminds me of my youth.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Soft rock dreamscape.

High Violet

The National

1/5

I really tried to get through this album but it was just the same thing - a song with a couple riffs repeated and droning voice.

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

4/5

Yes it's noisy and messy but I hear so many foundations of influence for 90s punk bands. Very akin to Nirvana in some places too.

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

3/5

This album is long and some of it has fillers. If you look past the length there are some absolutely catchy & sometimes hilarious songs. Im a fan of songs not being taken too seriously, and a lot of this hit the mark. "Fido your leash is too long..."

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Classic rock album. Atmosphere of the live performance adds to the overall vibe.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

2/5

Ok album. Backing tracks of 90s rap are always great remixs.

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Never really listened to Elvis Costello. Decent backing music and story telling. A bit monotone in singing, but enjoyed parts of it.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

2/5

The album is definitely one that you could put on in the background in mixed company and no one would really complain. Nothing spectacular.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

1/5

Just doesn't sound like much more than prog rock. I normally like prog rock but it doesn't stand out as an album to me.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Yeah, ok rock from the time. Preferred to blues rock songs more tbh

Hot Shots II

The Beta Band

4/5

I could see myself get lost in a lot of this album.

Young Americans

David Bowie

2/5

Jazzy sax but nothing too inspiring in the album

My Generation

The Who

3/5

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

2/5

Funky with some alright songs. Not really my thing.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

2/5

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

1/5

Meh. Typical mid 90s alt rock music.

Who's Next

The Who

5/5

The (actual) Who that everyone knows and loves.

C'est Chic

CHIC

5/5

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

1/5

Nope, I tried. I really did. My rule is listen through minimum 2/3, and skim through last songs if I'm not vibing. And this just irritated me to no end.

Survivor

Destiny's Child

3/5

Very 2000s. Takes me back to my youth but wasn't really my vibe at the time.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Epic classic. Great background or sit down and focus on the rock opera kind of album.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

2/5

Some good songs, but most are just early raga rock which was gaining prominence at the time in the psychodelic bands.
