Decent old school punk album. This era of music was pretty dope.

Beth Gibbons is the coolest. This is just some great shit to just chill out and vibe to.
Rated 10/10
Good lord, this goes incredibly hard. Great music for the shitty day I'm having. I love the guitar work. It's atonal without being annoying. The songs all have a nice buildup.
Rated 6/10
This is fine, but I'm really not a big reggae guy, so after a couple of songs it really all just sounds the same. I'm sorry.

It was a real treat to hear Sam live in his prime. I obviously love his songs but hearing them live was even better. This is the real, raw, soulful shit and I loved every second of it.
So I mostly know Chicago from their shitty adult contemporary ballads from the 80's, so I was shocked by how good this was. And like it's surprisingly experimental in parts, too! Like the same band that released schlock "If You Leave Me Now" and "You're The Inspiration" have like a 7 minute guitar noise piece in the middle of their debut double album? I've been sleeping on early Chicago.
Rated 2/10
Ugh. High School level poetry and the most bland possible background music. Why is she so popular again? Plus it's an hour long? Fuck off.
Rated 4/10
I'm 678 albums deep at this point. Yet another band that sounds just like this isn't going to impress me at this point. I'm tired, man.
Rated 4/10
This was.... interesting. Not really good, but interesting. I've had nothing but shit from this challenge all week so I'll take it, I guess.
Rated 2/10
The singer can't sing and the guitar player can't play, but they look super cool and indie on the album cover. What a joke.
Rated 2/10
I'm mystified as to why such a basic ass band that sounds like fifty other bands on this list gets TWO albums but Tool has zero. Giving it a one star since the end No Sympathy annoyed the shit out of me.

Dude has a decent voice, but this is such a corny ass album. Schmaltzy as hell.
Rated 6/10
Listen, other than the title track this isn't great. But a lot of the "real rock" that my stupid teenage self was listening to around this time was just as lame. Like I used to listen to Creed for fucks sake. I'm going to round it up to 3 stars because everyone was so mean to her.
I definitely enjoyed the more bluesy tracks most. I don't think I'm cultured enough to truly appreciate this to the level it probably deserves to be honest.
Rated 8/10
This is almost a stand up album. Tom Waits it's legitimately funny. His band is killing it. I really feel like I'm in some shitty dive bar somewhere in Vegas just listening to some drunk bastard making up songs as he goes along and I love it.
Rated 4/10
About as basic as pop music gets. I opted for the English language version but this music just fades into the background so I don't think it even matters what she's saying.
Rated 8/10
This is like a jazzier version of King Crimson. I dig it.
I love bombastic orchestral music and I love Metallica. This is a chocolate and peanut butter situation. Two awesome things combined. Probably the greatest live album of all time.
