Very disappointed. Have listened to quite a lot of Blur but mostly Parklife onward. Was surprised on how unremarkable all this sounded. 2.5/5

Decent album. Enjoy the more upbeat songs (Queen Jane, Like a Rolling Stone). The song length did drag on at times. Felt like they could be 3-4 mins vs. 5-6. 3/5

Really nothing remarkable about this album at all. I thought I would maybe like it more than I did. Nothing more than top 40 background music. 1.5/5

1984Van Halen

Rated 6/10

Has some fun songs that I really liked, but felt nearly half the album was well below average. 3/5

Way to long. Some of the songs were interesting (I need a new heart my favorite) but I think there was too much filler to get to 69 songs.

Enjoyable album. Really have never listened to full album Dylan before. Felt it got a little repetitive at the end and the songs were a bit long. 4/5

FuneralArcade Fire

Rated 10/10

Fantastic album. Top 10 all time for me. Such a great introduction for folks to indie. 5/5

I enjoy the outlaw country sound, but I think the lack of the full band backing in a major way makes this one not hit well for me. Entertaining enough, but again not likely something I would listen to on my own,. 2/5

The WallPink Floyd

Rated 8/10

Like it more than I remembered, but it has been 25+ years since I have listened. Much more than the more famous songs. 4/5

Hot RatsFrank Zappa

Rated 2/10

Not a fan. Too many extended jazz type solos. Not my cup of tea. looked forward to it ending 1/5

Decent early 90s rap. Doesn't blow me away. I do like B-Real's nasally delivery, but that is probably the most memorable part of the album. 2/5

The VisitorsABBA

Rated 2/10

really not a fan. Not typically into the europop sound and this one was even blander than usual. wouldn't listen again (and kind of upset it will be in my spotify algo now). 1/5

Enjoyed this much more than I expected. Brown Eyed Girl might on one of my least favorite/overplayed songs, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much this sound was appealing to me. 3/5

Solid album. Generally enjoy all vintage Bowie. Life on Mars? is probably my top Bowie song period. The full album is a good listen, but I don't think it has quite the impact to get the perfect 5 rating. 4/5

Viva HateMorrissey

Rated 6/10

Decent album, although I much prefer the Smiths versus Morrissey solo (something Mar's jangly guitars). Bengali in Platforms and Suedehead are highlights. 3/5
