There are some cool sounds here but nothing that makes love it.

This is a great album. It rocks hard and yet is completely emotional at the same time. Somehow its so hard and yet draws you in and connects with deep feelings and emotions. This is a rare one on the list that I truly think should be. While Pearl Jam and Vedder are just one of the bands that came out of the 90's grunge era they really helped define it and this album is a great example of why.

It was fine, but it sounded like the Doors, the Clash and a number of other bands of this time frame. I am not sure they really added anything new to music. Its not bad, but no idea why its one I had to listen to before I died.

Don't just an album by its cover...I really was not looking forward to this one based on the cover but it really surprised. It sounded very much like early 90's rock (I know it was late 80s) and made a fun spunky feel. With the lyrics it was pulling in the punk vibes and moving into rock and the next era in music. On the surface it feels very blah pop rock of the time but the lyrics really are what pull it up to a higher rating. I wish Sweet Bird of Truth were easier to hear. Fav was Angels of Deception.

Ooo Britney...You were treated like crap, taken advantage of and used for your looks, your dance moves and your ability to make the men in your life money. Then they left you out to dry and now you are probably not mentally stable, but left with likely nobody who actually care about you to help and support you. I just can't hate on her....Britney is a damn good dancer and performer! She can entertain a crowd and play a part better than most. She is what every girl thought she wanted to be and what every boy wanted in a girl.
Its not a good album....but honestly that isn't Britney's fault. I want to rate it probably a 2 for the quality of songs. But honestly she is so iconic and what she did for the 90's pop era is unbelievable so I will rate it 100% on that!

I know the Byrds are kind of a big deal and likely this hit differently when it came out. Here is it just psycadelic rock that is coherent and flows together, like they weren't actually high while they were recording which made for a much better listening experience compared to others of the time. But also nothing super special, just simple music that used a sitar a lot.

It was good punk rock, but nothing really shook me better than anything else. All went together into one nice album.

This project has really worn me out on Tom Waits. Something about the way he sings seems so forced and fake (sorry if that is his real voice) that it just turns me off of him. He just seems like he is trying so hard and trying to be so amazing. I liked the bluesy jazzy sounds but his voice and my previous reviews of him just sour it.

It felt like the start of songs...someone was messing around making beats and showcasing them to the rest of the band to make an actual song. Instead it was just unfinished ambient noise

Psycadelic rock again...but not fantastic, just blah

It had some real beauty in it. This mix of pastoral rural with a rock undertone. The lyrics had some beauty here and there and some of the sounds were unique enough to warrant a second listen. Its interesting this was such a flop when it came out, because its not bad, but i also don't see it as a chart topper.

This was hard and not really something I would listen to again, however I can appreciate the good raps and the good beats. I don't have to love something to recognize this was impressive.

This one is iconic I know and Kurt Cobain is a myth of a man, but his screaming lyrics were my least favorite part. On the harder songs the drums and guitar were fire. I also really liked his lyrics the best when he wasn't singing like a thrash metal artist.

It was fun to dip into his alter ego and learn a little from his mind. To me so much of this embody Bowie, so it was just a beautiful trip into his inner thoughts.

Its a little more mellow then some other artists so maybe why they didn't make it mainstream. But I kind of like their chill laid back sound that focuses on social change. It is a slower rap but their rhymes are pretty good.

Bob Marley but just not as good....

Meh....

It was cool but nothing really grabbed me

Good, nothing life changing but enjoyable

This feels like a high garage school/college band that isn't quite there yet. Lake of Fire is a good song, but could just be a little more polished. Mindless Idiot was another that I enjoyed. They were mellow rock for a while, then teenagers came in and kind of felt unnecessary moving into a song or two that was just guitar (not bad but just different). And then it goes to this even more mellow almost island music by 100% of Nothing sound by the end. It felt really all over the place and I don't really know who they are as a bad. I don't dislike the album just felt like a teeny bit of polish would have made this a gem that shined.
