Best riot grrrl album of all time in my opinion. Every song on this album absolutely rips, and it has a ton of variety and weirdness that keeps it fresh like dog bark samples, pitch shifting, explosions, etc. It has it all.

All of the Wu-Tang releases around the 36 Chambers era are just straight fire but this one might be my favorite solo release from that period. All killer no filler. Great beats, fantastic samples and biting lyricism.

I've definitely heard of them and probably even heard some songs, but somehow Suede is a band I haven't really paid much attention to, possibly due to the britpop tag which is a genre I typically dislike. This is really great though. Theatrical and brooding, killer guitar and vocals. Good shit

American Pie (the song) slaps but I don't think I've heard anything else from him. While that song is obviously tough to beat with how epic, insightful and gorgeous it is, the rest of the album is really great too. He has a fantastic voice and his lyrics are really poignant.

T.Rex knows how to make an infectious tune. Love the guitar tone here too. They had a big impact on a lot of music I love and for good reason.

Nah I'm good. Dude's a creep.

Two albums for this band seems excessive to me. They're fun and upbeat but nothing to really write home about to me.

So cool and unique. I can definitely see how a lot of artists I dig would have taken inspiration from this. I'm a sucker for spoken word pieces so this is right up my alley on that front. I also like the mix of rock and orchestral elements.

While I love how The Cure mixed darkness and brightness on their later albums, this album is a great look at their unadulterated dark side. Pounding drums and base and screeching guitars abound.

Amazing album. I love how dark and psychologically brooding it is. Definitely need to get the vinyl. Never mind I actually just bought it ope.

Solid folk rock with some great guitar playing. Doesn't really do anything mindblowing to me though honestly. A Sailor's Life is cool just because of how long it is.

10/10 genre defining classic. I can’t say much that hasn’t already been said but this album still floors me today like it did when I first heard it. This is THE shoegaze album.

Certainly interesting but I'm not sure it's something I'd really listen to much. I feel like the Paul Simon influence is noticeable. Seems a bit like Americanized African music which seems almost vaguely exploitative at this point?

Another band I haven't really given the focus to that I think I should have so this was a really cool listen. I haven't seen the movie but even just as an album it works pretty well. Very melancholy and ambient. The pitch-shifted spoken word bits don't really fit when listening to it as an album though.

Not sure why but Elton John has just never clicked for me like other similar artists have. I really tried again with this one but for some reason I'm just not into it. The reggae song is truly atrocious though I will say.

Country just isn't a genre I have much familiarity or interest in, but this one is alright. It overemphasizes the accent a bit which always grates me (whether that's fair or not). I enjoy the lyrics and guitar playing though.

Learning about the historical influence of this was interesting, and I can imagine how shocking it was in 1962 to hear this mix. Obviously it sounds much more passe in 2022 in a "Seinfeld is unfunny" kind of way but I can appreciate it.

Saw these guys opening for Death Grips and it was the cringiest shit, and that was at a Death Grips concert. Just seems like something I would've loved in elementary school if I was a bit older (not a compliment).

Not doing it for me as much as the other one honestly. Just a bit safer and less exciting. Still got a few solid tracks on it.

Not quite as interesting as some of their earlier releases to me personally. It's a little safer and happier sounding without that haunting edge that I adore. Still some solid guitarwork and vocal melodies though.
