Pretty middle of the road 90s alternative pop rock. Didn't do much for me at all.

Cool concept for a project, honoring and shining light on the legends of Mississippi Delta blues. I wasn't thrilled about this, but it was good. Much respect to this project.

This was fine. Never really explored either Kimya Dawson or Adam Green outside of Moldy Peaches. This is pretty inconsequential and whatever.

Unfamiliar with this, but a super solid post punk indie record from the 90s. About what you would hope for something like that.

This is a great record. Abstract, eclectic. It hits everything I was hoping it'd hit. Great listen.

Never super thrilled when I see something labeled as Electonic/Techno, but this was just my speed. Great beats and great tone, a fun album to listen to

Not at all what I was expecting. Much better than I was expecting but not really my cup of tea. It’s a good record for sure. A bit too long.

One of the most personally important bands in my lifetime. I have spent way too much time debating--with myself and with other--which Ween album is their best album, and a long time ago I concluded that although it's not necessarily my favorite Ween album, Quebec is probably their best album. I had tickets to see Ween in August 2024 just days before they canceled and went on hiatus and I have not listened to them in earnest since then. I both love and miss Ween immensely. Listening to this today was like hanging out with an old friend.

Nope.

I have never heard of this band. It wasn't bad by any means, just pretty straightforward and boring, and overly long. I will not listen to this again.

An excellent collab between a great minimalist electronic group and a legendary jazz saxophonist. This was heavenly. 5 full stars.

Totally unfamiliar with this band, but sounds very much like I'd expect given the genre and time this was released. It was fine.

Always kind of been aware of The Posies just being PNW based. This is pretty straightforward 90s power pop and it's a lot of fun. The album sounds full and loud, it's great. Really enjoyed this.

I ended up really liking this after it didn't make a great initial impression of me. More moody and atmospheric than I was expecting. Enjoyed it for sure.

Not sure about this at all.

This about as middle of the road and as boring as rock music can get for me.

It's been a while since I've thought about Neil Cicierega let alone listened to anything of his. This immediately hit all the nostalgia notes hard. This is just as fun as it was when it came out and I had a blast listening to it.

The meteoric rise this band experienced after this came out was wild. I was out of town the first time they came through and played an actual smaller show and then the next time it was nothing but immediately sold out, adding additional dates, at much larger venues. Bummed to miss those early shows. I think this record is great and haven't listened to it for a while, and listening to it for the first time in a bit, I do feel like it's likely going to age well. Stoked to see this come up on this list, though not at all surprised.

A genre blend that I am not interested in at all.

Decent prog/art rock album. More interesting than I was expecting.
