WhateverAimee Mann

Rated 4/10

This is some pretty basic early 90s pop stuff. Some strong chamber sounding elements, definitely not for me.

This album was fine. It was definitely long and pretty one note, but a good recording. I kind think that long live albums should not be on this list.

The ClashThe Clash

Rated 8/10

An excellent debut album and a classic. Not my favorite record from The Clash, but it has some great moments and captures a great preview of what was to come from the band.

Been kind of dreading getting this album, because I knew it would be on the list. I don't really care for live albums, or particularly long albums, and also it's Frampton. But this was fine, pretty accessible safe rock and roll. I was surprised by how many songs I recognized. This stuff is just boring and middle of the road. It was fine though.

The CoralThe Coral

Rated 2/10

I do not get this album at all, it's a mess of too many elements. And it seems like it just sounds like the poor man's version of too many sounds from the early 2000s. This album is definitely not for me and I feel like it should not be included on this list.

Man this was not for me. Way too jammy. I'm sitting here trying to enjoy my morning coffee and some wanked out jam is happening where he's crooning about the Boogaloo? What the fuck is this shit?

Liked this way more than I was expecting. Just assumed it was going to be pretty generic speed metal, but it had a lot more elements and was a lot more interesting. Album rocked.

This album is perfect through and through, and was such a lovely pull on this Friday morning after a long week. Just beautiful and an absolute classic.

CloserJoy Division

Rated 6/10

I have never listened to Joy Division and am only aware of them because of their iconic album artwork that seems to be ubiquitous now. Obviously I know they were a precursor to New Order and Peter Hook and the Light, but it's never really been my area. This album was fine, time and a place and so forth.

Pere Ubu have always been underrated and under appreciated. An incredible art punk experimental band from Cleveland. Very stoked this is on the list.

Honestly kind of taken aback by how many of these songs were hits. I never cared for Eminem and still don't. Certainly pretty immature and juvenile. Well produced and was clearly a huge hit.

TransformerLou Reed

Rated 10/10

Kind of a perfect storm of everything on this record. I feel like it's nearly perfect given all the circumstances surrounding it's context.

Black MetalVenom

Rated 4/10

This was not my cup of tea but it was fine. Clearly a good metal record. Just not for me.

Am not super familiar with Kate Bush despite the recent renaissance in her pop culture relevancy. She seems great, but is just not for me.

I definitely had very low expectations for this but it was better than I was expecting. Kind of odd and out there, not at all straight indie folk and soft rock as it's assigned genre's suggested. I dug it!
