Let me check… nope, still don’t like hip hop

Didn’t love this one. With a name like this was expecting a patriotic album for the 4th but apparently not

Was generally good but the songs in albums like this tend to blend together so it’s not super memorable

Wasn’t terrible but not that memorable either. I can’t remember any of the songs even though I listened to it yesterday but I remember that they didn’t sound bad

Might be recency bias but don’t like the Smiths so annoying getting two of their albums so close together

Fairly pleasant sounding throughout the whole album - can’t really pinpoint any specific favorites

This album did not do it for me. Just didn’t feel inspired at all and I can’t even remember any of the songs even though I listened to it yesterday

I thought the album sounded really good overall but was maybe a bit longer than it should have been so I’m knocking it down a bit

Yea it was fine some of the songs were vibey. I’m noticing a recurring theme with the post 2010 albums im seeing in this list though

It’s ok but it’s absolutely wild that Eminem didn’t get put on some kind of watch list with these albums man

A great album. I’ve giving it a 4 instead of 5 because the songs eventually blended together a bit for my uncultured ear but it’s still super pleasant to listen to

Kinda underwhelming for my 400th album but there haven’t been a ton of world music albums yet so not terrible

Very English sounding pop album with only a couple good ones, wasn’t a huge fan here

Probably the biggest example of don’t judge an album by its cover or band name so far. Was expecting some kind of death metal but album was actually pretty pleasant overall

Terrible album. Very disharmonious to me

I think this may be my first Elton John album surprisingly enough, but a great one to start out with! Bennie and the Jetts and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are both phenomenal. Barely any misses in this one

This one was a little too metal for me, didn’t like it much

2 hours of peak bluegrass? Absolute audio

Very stereotypical 80s pop album but I liked it. There were some great ones in here like Never Let Me Down Again and Sacred

I’ve never heard of this Jethro Tull guy before but this wasn’t a bad album. I don’t know why there’s a 15 minute interview as a bonus track included though
