The hip hop albums on the list continue to be good. But kind of surprised how challenging this album is from a production point of view. It’s noisy, harsh in parts, a bit unusual to the usual polished/smooth production of the 90s hip hop albums.

Enjoyed this, maybe becoming a bit jaded because it probably would have gotten a 4 stars earlier in this process but I probably won’t come back to it again which is how I’m dividing the 3 to 4s.

1 hour 15! Why!

If I was going to pick one Red Hot chili peppers album to try to listen to it would have been this one. But given how much I hated californication when that came up a couple of months ago I didn’t have high hopes. I was pleased surprised though. Chad, flea and John get to shine on this one and even Anthony is at his least unbearable (still unbearable though).

I think there’s probably a 40 minute album in here that would get 4 stars from me. But as it is it’s a generous 3 stars.

Rated 8/10

Not my most listened to Bjork album, which would be homogenic (Somehow not on this list despite their being 4 Bjork albums). But still enjoyable.

This is completely unhinged. It’s more of a cultural artefact than an album. So I agree it should be on the list, but I can’t say I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this. More than I thought I would because the track I’ve been most exposed to on the radio 101 FM is easily the worst song on the album. Loses a bit of steam later on but the start is strong enough to carry it.

WarU2

Rated 6/10

Whenever I’ve listened to u2 I’ve always thought it’s really much better than I expected. But then when I finish I can’t remember any of it and have no urge to listen to it again. This seems like a good u2 album. But still don’t want to listen to it again.

It’s better than the iron maiden album I was assigned YESTERDAY, but still not my thing. I think if I hadn’t had two in a row I would give this 3 stars. It feels like the definitive iron maiden album.

I enjoyed this more than I thought. But it went on just a bit too long and the balance shifted to be too traditional in the parts of the album.

Rated 2/10

Why?

This sounds like there’s three songs playing at all times and they never line up. Even the famous single isn’t great other than the opening riff.
