This album was pretty boring. Far from the best of the Smiths. All the songs feel the same with solid instrumentation and then rambling "singing." Still, not bad really, just not very memorable. I wouldn't come back to the album, but I like the Smiths later work, so I probably will listen to the songs on this album more. I want a steak now.

Is this album good? I'm not sure. It's far from the best electronica album I've heard on the list and I haven't really liked the genre so far. It doesn't feel futuristic. It just feels outdated and cringe. Machine doesn't feel like a real word anymore.

Rated 6/10

This album was close to bringing me in, but never could. A whole album of this isn't amazing, but a song here and there is fine. The genre has potential. Didn't hate it, but I wanted it to be over.

I'm not the biggest fan of Simon & Garfunkel, but this album has some of their best work I'd say. A couple songs caught my eye, but most were skippable. I doubt I'll come back to the album anytime soon, but it's good for sure.

This is one of the best singer-songwriter albums I've heard so far. It's not my favorite genre because of how minimal it can be, but it really works here. His voice isn't always the best, but it can be really good and the backing vocals add a lot. The lyrics are really good and this album makes you think. I like that.

Maybe it's my brain that's off beat, but something isn't right here. I actually like it. Keeps you awake for sure. I don't think I'd be super excited if someone put some Slayer on, but I wouldn't complain. Background thrash metal.

I'm just not feeling this one. Nothing is great about this album. Might not be coming back to it, but I didn't hate every second. It really didn't do anything wrong, just didn't do anything.

Not my first choice of a genre, but I can't say it's not great at what it wants to do. There's a reason he's one of the most famous people in the industry.

A good start to the album with the title track, but even that gets dull quickly. I don't really get anything out of this album at all. Not saying it's bad, but it's not for me.

I don't get the hype at all. I am not a fan of his singing. This album is not as bad as some others and the band is great, so it's not really a hard listen. Still, I wouldn't choose to listen to any song from this album.

WarU2

Rated 8/10

I might not have loved the album itself, but I loved a lot about it. U2 is a band I've overlooked forever, but this generator will change that. Really the only thing that takes away from this album is that it can get a little boring and repetitive. I want to come back to this album and other albums by U2 after listening. Pretty good.

Some of these songs aren't bad. Murder In The Red Barn for example. It's fine on its own, but after listening to practically the same song 10 times in a row it gets boring. The vocals aren't that bad and the instrumentals are very limited, but I think it works. At least it can work and in some songs is does. But as a whole, it just makes for a forgettable album. I like the cover though.

L.A. WomanThe Doors

Rated 8/10

Nothing wrong with the Doors. It's an interesting album and I'll surely revisit. Nothing crazy is going on here, just some great songs.

I really like this album. It's great country music and solid as a rock album. It's definitely an influential album and is good, I just wish there were more original songs.

Another great album by The White Stripes. They rarely disappoint. This might not be my favorite album by them, but it still has some of my favorite songs.
