Very smooth jazz album with appropriately great drumming and sax playing. It's mostly instrumental, which allows the spotlight to shine on that sax and those drums.

I was expecting boring new wave. I got weird British pub rock with lots of horns and terrible singing. It's ok, but not exactly great or even that good. The big hit, "Come on Eileen" was by no means the best song, and is in fact one of the worst. The album is also too long and could stand the removal of some of the instrumentals.

This sounds like the pure spirit of the 70s disco fever. It's fun and funky, with high pitched harmonies and funky guitar playing. It is a perfect time capsule to the era.

This was a pretty fun, good indie rock album. The instrument playing is appropriately raucous and poppy, and the vocals really seal the deal. A pretty good album to just enjoy.

An okay new wave album. I don't think it has anything too interesting or noteworthy on it, but it isn't horrible. The vocals were ok if typical for new wave, and the same can be said for the instrumentals.

I could write a whole review of how great the album is, but that won't be necessary. It's the Beatles at the height of their creative powers. Of course it's great, how else would it become as iconic as it is? It's not perfect, but it pretty fucking close.

This was a pretty good pop rock album. The songs are light and fun, and the vocals are good. The instrument playing, while not virtuosic, serves its purpose well.

An interesting instrumental jazz album with some rock and funk influences. The instrument playing is great, which helps a lot when the album is 4 instrumental compositions stretched out over an LP length. I enjoyed listening to the track "Sly" in particular.

This album wasn't on Spotify in the US, so I listened on YouTube. That said, it's a pretty energetic ska album with some new wave elements. Many of the songs have good brass sections mixed with interesting new wave style vocals.

I was honestly scared I was going to hate this. However, I did not hate it. It turned out to be well made jazz pop with some great singing and surprisingly tasteful horns. It's somehow not boring, and everything here is good to great. It doesn't overstay its welcome, either.

An okay alt-pop album. Reminiscent of Alanis Morrisette without the distinctive voice. Everything here is competent, but nothing here is truly great.

A nice, relaxing folk rock album. The guitar is very good, and the singing is great. They combine to produce a uniquely relaxing sound that I quite enjoyed.

This album is probably the most unique thing I've listened to so far. I don't understand a word of what's being sung, but the singing sounds expressive and highly distinct. Instrumental accompaniment varies from song to song and sometimes leans more toward an 80s pop feel and something towards the album's African roots.

This album is highly indulgent and extremely long. It's a rock album with some soft rock songs. The playing and vocals are competent, but the album could have been split into two albums. Anyway, the length is the biggest issue by far.

Let's get something straight: it's a crime that this is the only Priest album on the list. There are many other albums by this band that deserve to be here as well. That said, it's a great metal album. Halford's singing is as good as ever, and the loud guitars and thunderous drums make for some invigorating heavy metal.

This album has a very distinct sound. It's the detached lack of emotion found in new wave mixed with interesting funky rhythms. It makes for a very entertaining and unique cocktail of musical influences. Byrne's vocals are very well suited to the type of music that's being made here.

This is some ok, but not great, pop music. Some songs structures are unconventional, but the album is still plenty accessible. Nothing here stands out as great, though, it's mainly just ok. The singer has a pretty good voice, though.

A decent, but not great, neo-soul album. Some lyrics aged poorly, and the rest is nowhere near as special as I have been led to believe. A little too long, though.

This album is some pretty solid blues rock. It feels more varied stylistically than the White Stripes, but it's not as simple and powerful. A pretty neat experiment.

This is a pretty good modern rap album. It has lots of nice melodic arrangements, and the rapping itself is pretty solid. However, nothing here stands out as great.
