21Adele

Rated 8/10

I had never listened to an Adele album from start to finish. Obviously, a very talented singer. I thought it was good! Enjoyed it a lot more than I expected.

I can't say I was expecting another album by The Specials. Wasn't bad, I can dig it. Not as good as the first one, but had lots of catchy tunes.

3/5

OK, so I used to think that kid rock was white trash. I still kind of do, but I didn't hate it. Though I won't listen again. A solid 2.5 round up.

Another Primal Scream album... doesn't seem like they deserve 2 albums in the top 1,001, but maybe that's just me.

I did enjoy some of the songs. Trainspotting was a good one! On the second playthrough, I did enjoy this album a lot more.

It was OK. Very 90's.

Solid 3.

I knew a couple songs on this album. That was enough to give it a good rating. Outside of those two songs... meh. Big meh. I'd give it a 2.5 if I could.

It was longer than necessary. It kind of lost me around Jamaica jerk off for 6 or 7 songs until Saturday nights all right. Good album though!

If I could do half stars, I would say 3.5. I'll round up.

★David Bowie

Rated 6/10

I was skeptical when it came to a new David Bowie album. It was actually pretty good!

1999Prince

Rated 4/10

Oof. I was excited when I saw it was a Prince album. Oof. After the first two songs it went downhill incredibly fast. What awful songs. And so damn long too.

The VisitorsABBA

Rated 6/10

They gave us an ABBA album with none of the hits. It was better than I was expecting. This concerns me that we may see another ABBA album though...

Such a great album! Two in a row that I have on vinyl. This one is just perfect from start to finish. All great songs, no filler.

TommyThe Who

Rated 8/10

Such a good album! One of the earlier ones I have on vinyl. So good!

I did like All the King's Men. Seems like I just didn't like hooting and howling and when I'm sleeping. The rest I didn't mind on the second playthrough.

The singers voice is kind of annoying. But at times, the band reminded me of Arcade Fire.

This is a booty call; my boot up your arse hole.
This is a Freudian slip; my slipper in your bits.

IllmaticNas

Rated 8/10

I really enjoyed this one! I had never heard anything by Nas, and this was probably a good introduction.

Really into TV on the Radio. Great album, and happy I listened to it - since I had never heard this one from start to finish.

Some songs they kind of lost me. Also, Non-Musical Silence... why was it 4 minutes long?! The songs after that weren't that great - I feel like they should have ended the album at Lover's Day.

Still, a great album overall!

PhrenologyThe Roots

Rated 8/10

Solid album! I had never heard of them before, and added some of the songs to playlists. The seed (2.0) is a great song!

This album ranged from songs I enjoyed, to songs that annoyed the hell out of me.
I liked Monk time, thought it was a good start to the album.
Shut Up was a bit of both - annoying but also catchy.
Boys are Boys and Girls are Choice is a great song. It's a classic.
Higgle-Dy - Piggle-Dy - catchy instrumental.
I hate you - annoying.
Oh, How To Do Now - super annoying.
Complications and We Do Wie Du - Annoying
Drunken Maria - kinda catchy.
Love Came Tumblin Down - I liked it.
Blast off and That's my Girl - Very annoying.

I would have given it a 2.5 if I could have. I'll round up to 3 I guess.

Album took a massive nose dive after like a prayer. Such a good song, and the rest if the album is... trash.

Nah, not for me.
