Beyond Blue Orchid, I was actively waiting for this album to end. Congrats to Jack White for being my first ever 2, and continuing the trend over half a year later

Favorite Song: Blue Orchid

ImagineJohn Lennon

Rated 6/10

Beyond the title track, I don't really have anything of note for this album. It's fine

Favorite Song: Imagine

I really like this style of country. I don't think this was my favorite album in this style, but it was pretty enjoyable for a single listen

Favorite Songs: Honky Tonk Heroes, Ride Me Down Easy

TenPearl Jam

Rated 6/10

I can recognize that this album is well done and objectively pretty good, but it just didn't hook me.

Favorite Song: Even Flow

When this started I was shocked by how much I liked it. The industrial sound behind it is really cool. However, the album is pretty one note and not too interesting beyond that

Rated 6/10

This reminded me a lot of Nick Drake, and I should have liked it more than I did. I should come back and give this another shot sometime, but it didn't do anything for me at the time

The best I can say about this is that I was neutral on many of these songs. I don't find Bobby D to be this lyrical genius, nor do I like his voice, so I'm not sure what enjoyment there is to find in this.

This album has such a range and I love it. Maybe I like alt rock more than I thought? So many good songs on here that it's hard to pick one.

Favorite Songs: Disarm, Quiet, Sweet Sweet

Definitely need to give this another listen at some point. I don't think I was as focused on this as I needed to be for it, but even then I can recognize how excellent it was.

Rated 10/10

Normally not that into alternative, but this album rocks.

Favorite songs: Debaser, Monkey Gone to Heaven

GorillazGorillaz

Rated 8/10

There's so much about the Gorillaz I don't like, but this album isn't it. There's maybe one song on here I didn't like, and all 3 intro songs are spectacular

So much fun. Didn't know I needed to hear Superstitious this morning, but I'm glad I did. Even without that song, the rest on here are so groovy that it's hard not to have a good time. It's infectious

Favorite Songs: You Are the Sunshine of My Life, You've Got It Bad Girl, Superstitious

Gorgeous album art. On top of that, this album was just so much fun. Janis Joplin killed it, and the songs were great. Almost felt like a jam band, but I actually liked

Favorite Songs: I Need A Man to Love, Piece of My Heart
