This one’s cool, but I don’t like it as much as their first one.

Hadn’t heard the whole record before. Guitar tone and playing is wonderful. Outside of the hits not much in the way lf songwriting though.

This is better than I would have expected. Some of it is legitimately heavy. Kind of trails off towards the end though.

Anthrax is definitely my least favorite of the big four thrash bands. But this def has its moments especially when it goes a bit power metal. Album cover is cool as hell too.

Disco era salsa?! Yes, please!

A gem lf a record. Glad I got to see these guys live once, though they didn’t have a ton of material to draw from so spent a lot of time jamming which was a bit unimpressive.

Ear candy, indeed! And the lyrics aren’t without depth, either. Wonderful stuff.

This is my favorite version of MJ. Just pure funky joy. Can’t help but smile.

I dig the hyper-eloquent laid-back vibes.

The production is cheesy as hell on this but there are just too many great songs and her vocal performances are incredible. She also more than does justice to both a classic Beatles song and Bowie song.

This was all the rage when I was in High School. I knew the hits well, but had never given the whole thing a proper listen. It’s everything one could want in hip hop. Creative beats, great flow and poignant lyrics (though occasionally a bit too horny).

This was my first Beastie Boys album, and it remains my favorite. I think I appreciate it even more now.

I’m so over Neil Young on this thing but this is one of the better ones.

This is one of the better Doors albums.

Damn this list loves Beck. This one’s a classic though.

My first 2020s record on here. I love Lana and there’s a lot that’s good on this album but it’s far from her best. (Not even the best she put out that year!)

Enjoyed this way more than expected. Strong songwriting. Snappy production helps a lot.

I feel more or less the same about this band as I do about the city of Boston.

This has its moments but lacks the charm and atmosphere of their earlier work.

Millennial Beach Boys. Meh.
