Interesting to see which soundtracks make the list but this was solid

I’m a big hip hop fan but for some reason Cypress Hill never did it for me. DJ Muggs does a great job and I genuinely love the sample flips and bass selections. However the MCs always bounce between goofy to just slightly annoying and it holds the project back for me. Shout out to opening with Pigs though (3.5/5)

Kinda wish it was Basement Jazz. The beats were fun and kept me entertained but every now and then they had an element I hated. Like a track near the end with constant moaning, it took me out of enjoying the music more (2.5/5)

The hardest spot the difference test: power tools or German shouting? (Entschuldigung)

Heard the weather song before and wasn’t a fan. This was the full experience of that initial reaction

I appreciate the variety but hard not to feel goofy listening to this at my work desk (2.5/5)

Fine, didn’t grab me as much as Tension (2.5/5)

Pleasant listening even if the vibrato is a little silly, so much so he even had to restart one of the songs

Like a less inspired Fiona Apple, which sounds meaner than I intend, but I liked this (3.5/5)

A relaxing listen for a relaxing day

My fondness for the venue has sadly never been matched by the album (2.5/5)

Let Non English Bands On The List (2.5/5)

“Classic rock” distilled. Highway Star and Space Truckin are bangers and the the album still rocks out. Even if Smoke is overplayed by every 12 year old to pick up a guitar

The noisey-ness might not be some people’s cup of tea but it totally works for me. The rough and fuzzy Guitar with the driving rhythm section let me lock and coast through each jam. Happy to hear this one again (3.5/5)

Very lovely, this group got me into the folkier singer/songwriter genre. Trying to analyze why this time, the vocal melodies reminded me of Yes a little bit and maybe that was the through line that grabbed me (3.5/5)

Interesting but I wasn’t really into it (2.5/5)

Kind of a snoozer. Also fits in the category I see a lot in the list of “hey I know this one song at the end from [insert TV show/movie/etc here] (2.5/5)

Another “it’s fine but why are there multiple albums by this artist on the list?” (2.5/5)

Guess I have another 3 to sift through (3.5/5)

Sorry Randy you’ll always be the goofy Toy Story guy to me (2.5/5)
