I enjoy the vibes. It has quite a lot of variety even with me being very unfamiliar with the style.

What a wild mix of styles from across the globe. The general combination of electronic music with Indian classical is just a perfect compliment, and then he adds influences from a ton of other places to really put it over the top.

Another classic from Portishead. I love the darker vibe on this album. It's a great spooky season listen.

Absolutely gorgeous piano playing. I love the little bits of life you can hear from both him and the audience, clearly showing how moved they were by the insane improvisation here. Great stuff.

Another really great 90s alt album from Hole. The Smashing Pumpkins influence is apparent, but I think it really works with their style.

Clean, perfectly executed rock and roll. Every note feels completely deliberate. This album is just exactly right. It also hugely influenced many of my favorite bands.

Sioux's vocals are so raw and intense. This is a wild debut album that really shows where they would go. The Beatles cover is an interesting inclusion, but I really like their take on it.

Awesome gothic rock. They used a drum machine super effectively and it really lends itself to the vibe here.

Love the instrumentals. Acid jazz is so rad, and they blend together acoustic and electric instruments so smoothly. Most of the vocals are forgettable at best and obnoxious at worst though and I kinda of wish the whole thing was just instrumental.

Not quite as into this as the previous couple but it's still decent. Some cool experimentation with sounds and styles but it feels a bit scattered too as a result.

JT is a gross person and his music is mediocre.

Somehow I find this album to be simultaneously underrated and overrated. It's really good 90s alternative/grunge but it's also not the second coming like a lot of people act. It's so entwined with the sexism of the time (both to its benefit and detriment) that it's tough to get a truly accurate read on it. Regardless, it's definitely a good album at the very least.

Solid fun 60s pop. I like this one more than some of their others. It has a bit of that psychedelic edge to it that adds a lot.

Goofy and glam in an unappealing way. As far as glam rock goes it's slightly more tolerable than average, but it has that super dated 70s sound I just don't dig. I don't see myself revisiting it.

Wow I'd forgotten about this band but I remember listening to it at the time and really enjoying it. I think it's aged very well and holds up as a great example of early aughts indie rock.

Such a killer debut. It's raw, intense, and passionate. I love how she portrays female sexuality in such a positive way, but without shying away from it or its power. The instrumentation complements the lyrics perfectly.

I like this one more than the earlier albums. The psychedelia elements are really cool and his vocals really shine here.

Tainted Love is obviously a total classic but honestly the rest of the album really holds up too. I love the icy synths and the vocals perfectly compliment them.

It's decent but I definitely prefer Cave's later solo stuff. I appreciate the "rough" sound they were going for but mostly it just makes it kind of a chore to listen to at points.

Still no.
