While I didn't particularly like this, I did appreciate how many different styles of music were blended together fairly well. But it's not for me.

WTF is this? It's not good, it doesn't bring anything to the table that I HAD to hear, and did I mention it's bad? Few albums have left me as confused as to why they're on the list as this one.

Dog Man StarSuede

Rated 4/10

I much preferred the other Suede album, the S/T one. This one was weird and the second half sucked.

Hmm, The Doors but with Blues? Sign me up. I really really liked this album. Probably a 4.5 for me, but, hell, I'll round up.

I like Eric Clapton the musician (the person can GTFO.) And I like this album. Some straight up blues tracks, a few crossover ones, and the reggae cover, I like most of it quite a bit.

1999Prince

Rated 6/10

This started off as the best Prince album we've listened to. The first 3 or 4 songs are really good. But the second half is not really good, or at least, not what I like in music.

I liked this one. I'm a fan of grunge and this is a good album for that. Cornell's voice is great here. But there is some filler songs keeping it from being a great album.

Not a fan. A genre I'm not inclined to write, with annoying production, and a voice I can't understand, partially because of accent, partially because of sayings, and partially because I just don't think it's that good.

Might deserve a spot on the list as an example of a rap subgenre, but I didn't need to hear it.

It's ... a lot. The industrial sound, especially the guitars aren't bad. But Davis's vocals aren't great. And the songs themselves aren't great. It probably deserves to be on the list just because it's an example of a very popular genre, but it's not for me.

There's a couple of songs towards the end that knock this down a bit but the start of the album is really strong and I liked it a lot.

Rated 6/10

Not familiar with this at all and it was fine. Never wanted to turn it off. But I don't remember much about it.

I really really enjoyed listening to this. Some songs I knew, a bunch I didn't, but all with that signature Beach Boys sound and what harmonies. I'll be gladly listening to this one many times.

I was bored listening to this and it seemed, to me, like Jay Z was bored making it. There's a few songs he seems to have fun on, Girls, Girls Girls, and Takeover stand out as songs with some fun at least, but overall, this is not my style of music, and not something I'll ever listen to again.

It's not as good as The White Stripes, it's missing Meg driving the song forward with her "interesting" approach to drumming.

But it's bluesy and dirty, and my toe is still tapping. Jack White can play a guitar and I'll gladly listen to this one again.

I think this might be more accessible than Trout Mask Replica, but I’m not sure it’s quite as engaging. TMR is just weird, this one is a lot more straight forward. But I don’t think it’s any better for it. It’s fine.
