Rated 10/10
Such a classic...has been an internal debate for me for a long time if I actually like this one better than Nevermind. Not nearly as many radio friendly unit shifters on this album, but that may be why it was more influential on my musical tastes now. 5/5
Rated 6/10
Doves are decent. I feel other albums are better than this one, but this one has some enjoyable (but maybe less memorable) moments. 3/5
Rated 8/10
Surprisingly great album. See a lot of influence over later 70s power pop acts (hear a ton of Big Star). Will return to this in the future!! 4/5
Rated 6/10
Certainly not the best grunge band (are they even grunge?) but they still have some bangers. I have always loved Would? but it is interesting that I prefer the unplugged versions of a lot of these tracks. 3.5/5
Rated 6/10
Never listened to this MA album...was disappointed (still decent overall). I love other stuff and Tricky solo. Maybe this one is just too dated. 3/5
Rated 4/10
Ok...not sure I prefer salsa vs. other genres of latin music. 2/5
Rated 6/10
It was an interesting listen. Not sure I would return to it but I appreciate it for what it is. Impressive for someone who has been so pop focused to shift like this. 3.5/5
Rated 6/10
Indie Rock is by far my favorite genre....TVotR is one of those bands I have never been able to full embrace. Just not my jam completely. Not sure why I don't get it. 3/5
Rated 10/10
Another great Stones album. Not quite the masterpiece that is Exile...this one still has some great bangers that has to be a 5/5.
Rated 6/10
Not the best Sonic Youth. I really want to like SY more than I do...and I feel like I should, but it is pretty much just always average for me. 3.5/5
Rated 4/10
Eh...80's pop. Kind of sterile. Nothing I would ever chose to listen to. 1.5/5
Surprisingly great. Fun sound to the songs. Would 100% revisit. 4/5
Rated 4/10
Meh. I guess it was influential...but kind of boring. 1.5/5
Rated 4/10
I really want to like the Modern Lovers...I love the concept. But every time I listen to them I just get a little bored. It does seem pretty influential, but I think the Stooges are far for formative for the punk sound and are of the same era. 2.5/5
Rated 4/10
Nothing special, but it wasn't terrible either. 2/5
Rated 6/10
I like this older Metallica more than the newer stuff, but still can't get into thrash metal too much. I am always impressed by the musicality of these guys, but Kirk and James can absolutely shred and Lars is a pretty great drummer (at least in the faster type stuff). 2.5/5
Rated 10/10
Love ACDC. Probably not a perfect album but pretty close to it. 4.5/5
Rated 10/10
Fantastic album...likely the best of the Stones. Maybe not as many hits, but just so solid end to end. Has my favorite Stones song of all time...Tumblin Dice!! 5/5
Rated 8/10
What a great find...really like it. Had seen RH live before but didn't appreciate him as much as I probably should have. 4/5
Rated 6/10
It was interesting. Modern R&B is still something I just have a hard time getting into. 3/5
