very good landmark album that doesn't do that much for me personally

wow this steven wonder guy's pretty good!

rips so hard, one of my favorite albums ever for sure

interesting conglomeration of a bunch of different elements that make it a much more engaging and fun listen than most of the other 80s english albums on the list, but those elements don't really come together to make anything special. the jazz parts are pretty uninspired and very lacking compared to what you'd get from talented, dedicated jazz musicians, the soul is a pretty pale imitation, and the less said about the embarrassing rapping, the better. fun and weird, but not particularly good

Morissey, You Are The Hack that Should Have Given Up in the 80s

personal favorite PJ harvey album, easy

some cool beats, some annoying ones; some awesome lyrics, some questionable ones. pretty uneven, by and large, but Good Newz Comin' is an absolute banger

Deliver Me From Nowhere was a shitty movie because they didn't show the Snoopy binder that Bruce wrote Nebraska in

the only decent britpop band turns in another fine one

pretty annoying and wholly unnecessary when there are 2 better albums from them on the list (and any more than 1 is pretty unjustifiable to begin with!)

some fancy guitar work, an incredibly irritating vocal performance, the herald of one of my least favorite eras and genres of music. hard pass

is this a fucking joke?

for how wacky & dissonant this is, it feels like it's lacking in the urgency & energy that I'd want from an album of this type. a very interesting listen that's combining a lot of cool elements and sounds that I don't really see myself revisiting

we get it Robert dimery, you did a lot of MDMA in the 90s

three things: i think this is definitely important and influential enough to deserve a spot on the list, it's much more listenable to me than most ambient music, and i have a lot of respect for Brian eno. all that being said, miss me with this shit dawg

more english pablum but at least robbie Williams's nasally voice is really grating

amazing album, too bad johnny cash and fiona apple have slightly ruined the title track for me as their ascending finish to the phrase "bridge over troubled water" is about a million times more satisfying to my brain

like more than a few dudes in athens, this is rambling, pretentious, pretty progressive, and a little too concerned with projecting a preconceived idea of "southernness." a pack of dudes I'd be happy to have rolling around my town being the local color, but i wouldn't want to hang out with too much, and somehow I'm always busy every night they have a gig

i mean, it's fine

beautiful, thoughtful, political, what's not to like?
