Rated 8/10
Yeah, this definitely sounds like something Steve Albini would create. Great riffs and super edgy lyrics. Nice and noisy.

I like some of the arrangements especially the strings. Musically, this was pleasant. But man, those vocals are WEAK. Like not weak as in bad (except for when he tried a falsetto) just with no power or presence to them. Plus most of these songs could stand to be cut by about a minute cause they go nowhere.
I grew up in the Philly area in the 90's so I've had enough of this band to last a lifetime.
Literally just noise. I can't imagine anyone actually enjoying this.
Rated 6/10
Decently executed 90s alt rock.
I saw this was ambient electronica and was dreading it, but I actually dug this quite a bit. I liked the way they manipulated the sounds. I don't think I could listen to this all the time but I can see it being played if I need something low key. I definitely think Radiohead was influenced by this on some of their later work.
Rated 8/10
Side A: Decent psychedelic rock. 3/5
Side B: 17+ minutes of perfection and one of the songs that is precursor to what bands like Sabbath and Purple would perfect in just a few short years. The reason this album is on this list. 5/5
So, overall a 4/5.
Rated 10/10
R.E.M.'s masterpiece and therefore one of the greatest albums of the 90s.
Rated 10/10
Easily my favorite Stones album. Brown Sugar slaps even though it's problematic. Wild Horses is crushing and Moonlight Mile is gorgeous.
Rated 10/10
I grew up in the 90's, so this was right up my alley. I never even heard it before. Must have gotten overshadowed by all the other great stuff released around the same time.
Rated 4/10
This definitely sounds like something people loved in 1997 and was completely forgotten by 2000.
Rated 2/10
It sounded like bad cruise ship music until he started randomly rapping. Absolute shit.
Rated 10/10
Jim Morrison is just so fucking cool. I have to rate this a 5.
Rated 4/10
Man, I'm really tiring of these forgettable britpop albums. There's some good guitar work here and there but it sounds like so much other stuff I've heard on this list.
Rated 6/10
This was a fun listen and short. Somewhat lacking in memorable songs but the energy makes up for it.
Rated 4/10
Man, so many people praise this thing like it's the greatest album ever made, including a lot of artists I love. I just don't get it. There's occasionally a good riff here or there but it mostly just sounds like someone humming over white noise.
Rated 6/10
Pretty chill stuff. I liked the cover songs.
Rated 8/10
M-E-T-H-O-D maaaaaaan
I love these early Wu projects. Just rugged and raw. A little sloppy in places but that's part of the charm.
Rated 8/10
Country music lives and dies on its lyrics and these songs are are heartbreaking one minute and clever the next. George was truly one of the best.
Rated 8/10
This is a nice hidden gem of the early grunge era. I've been sleeping on these guys.
