It was fine, you can tell it’s a debut despite not knowing anything about this artist prior to listening. Dislike the herpes cover art (2.5/5)

I was excited to listen through this again. Really good all around and I’ll come back sooner rather than later this time (3.5/5)

Sounds great live and some really good players in the band. I listened to the complete version so it did run a bit long and started to blend together. The announcements were a bit obnoxious too (3.5/5)

Great album, crazy this was made for a soundtrack. I guess I have another movie to watch

Been on my “to listen to” list since a friend played me Frontier Psychiatrist like 10 years ago lol. Banger album

The first and maybe my favorite Dylan album I’ve listened to. Blowin in the Wind, Masters of War, and A Hard Rain are all peak singer/songwriter (4.5/5)

Probably my favorite Beastie album. The energy and fun they bring is always good but their production is great, even the instrumental tracks shine outright

Solid but I’m into Blur’s other work a degree more. Other than a Beatle or a Bowie, Damon Albarn might be the sneaky pick for most albums on this list which I wholeheartedly agree with.

Interesting sound to this one and the name is just fun to say.

I was trying to think of something clever with the album title but I’m not feeling it today. I am the blind horse and these solid albums all hit the same

I remember when this came out, and I hadn’t really paid attention to pop music yet, but I was on a 9 seater bicycle at the beach when Rolling in the Deep came on our speaker. It was instantly catchy and the singer was insane! We played that like 4 times while riding around the boardwalk. Anyways that was my intro to Adele and hearing more tracks garnered more and more respect at her range and song writing ability.

They sure like listing things. Fun energy and I appreciate the SpongeBob aesthetic of the cover

Not really my thing but it was cool to hear In the Pines as a fan of Nirvana’s Where Did You Sleep Last Night

This list loves Mr. Buckley. I don’t know what makes this less or more distinct than the other 2 albums I’ve heard from him on here, but it was fine

Slow, sleepy, and mostly boring instrumentals supplemented by a grating singer who breathily adds an extra syllable to every other word. Not my cup of tea

Cool usage of samples, could’ve been cut up a bit more but it’s fine for an EP

Whimsical, fun jams

Starts strong but then never really picks up the pace. Gets a little boring for a whole listen (2.5/5)

Oblongata

Huh. Well at best it was like an opening march to a knock off Terminator movie, at worst it sounded like Nazi step music. I’m uncultured so maybe that’s just how Germanic chanting will always sound to me but the Churchill speech at the end of one song does not help my mind’s association.
