I’ve been listening to a lot of reggae lately, and this album is one that I listened to last week. I enjoyed it then and I enjoyed it again on relisten. It’s not my favorite I’ve listened to lately, but it’s pretty, pretty good.

It was fine. Started strong. Got worse.

Didn’t really do it for me.

I liked it OK. A little unexciting, a little my vibe. I think 3 is a fair rating.

This was pretty cool and fun. I never have listened to much Stereolab, but I wouldn’t mind if another album or two of theirs popped up.

Kind of bland. Too long. But, at times, pretty cool. A solid 3.

I never really got into Lana. This was alright, but not really my thing. It had flashes of above average-ness. Revisiting this at some point may not be a bad idea.

Side note: is it weird that When We Fall Asleep Where Do We Go? isn’t on this list?

I wanted to like this more than I did. But it was pretty run of the mill.

What a legend. Like Buddy Holly, it’s sad to think of the decades of music we missed out on because of his untimely death.

Pretty good. The “oh yeah”s and “woo-oo” were always weird to me.

Pretty fun and cool. Did quite get to the 5 for me, but it was great.

Pretty cool! I dug it.

This is an easy 4, but:

Simon and Garfunkel’s melodramatic angst does it for me less and less as I get older

Voices of Old People is so indulgent and full of melodramatic angst

Mrs Robinson is a good song, but I don’t think it’s that special

Punky’s Dilemma is absolute horseshit. Maybe my least favorite song he’s ever written?

I really think that Bridge Over troubled Water is leagues better than this album. Paul’s writing is way more sophisticated in that album.

Pretty meh. I’ve listened to this before. It’s never clicked for me for some reason.

This was great. I never gave this band the attention I maybe should.

Fine. Unremarkable. Why is it on this list?

The title song is obviously a banger, but it’s not something I seek out due to having heard it a hundred thousand times.

Vincent is a better song.

I had forgotten how good the rest is too. I was expecting this to be a 3, but I really enjoyed them and it earned a 4.

Not as bad as some of this stuff, but still not something I want to listen to.

Nick Cave is one of those artists I know I should listen to more.

Pretty fun and weird.
