I loved that? Just some prog rock, but good prog rock

Favorite Songs: Mr. Skin, Street Worm, Morning Will Come, Animal Zoo

I would have liked a little more variation, but I enjoyed that more than I thought I would. Almost more ambience the electronica at times. Didn't listen to the B sides, so maybe I'll check it out sometime

Favorite Songs: Honey, Natural Blues, Run On

Just kinda boring. Like I'm sitting in my bedroom, staring at the ceiling while LED lights slowly change colors

Favorite Songs: Replica, Test Me

I was worried this would get really repetitive, but there was no need for that. I loved the energy. I can see how some wouldn't like it, but this was such a breath of fresh air

Favorite Songs: Mindfields, Narayan, Climbatize

Very standard Beatles album. Not that that's necessarily bad, but I'm not enough of a fan to care about this more than their other works.

Favorite Songs: Drive My Car, Michelle

Boring Britpop. Next album please

This was painfully average and definitely did not need to be listened to.

Favorite Songs: Gypsy Woman

This album feels very of its time but in a good way. Thought this would be way plainer than it ended up being. Love that 90's alt sound

Favorite Songs: Susan's House, My Beloved Monster

Yeah sure I'll listen to this again. I think I like Doolittle more, but the fact that this album has more Kim is pretty great. Every song is immensely fun

Favorite Songs: Gigantic, River Euphrates, Where Is My Mind, Tony's Theme, Vamos

Normally I hate gangster rap, but this one actually has something to say unlike most of its peers. The singles are excellent, but even as a whole it's really strong. I don't even dislike the spoken interludes.

Favorite Songs: It Was a Good Day, Check Yo Self

The audience for this album was losing their mind! I just don't think I loved it, but I can tell James Brown was killer to see in person

Favorite Songs: Think, I Don't Mind, Night Train

I get the love for this album. Killer start, pretty good end, and it is the last Beatles album. However, I'll never forgive them for putting God Save the Queen after The End. I've heard the reasoning, but it would've fit way better in its original location.

Favorite Songs: Come Together, Octopus's Garden, Here Comes the Sun, I Want You, The End

Enjoyable glam rock, but not great glam rock. Never heard of this band before, but they are a good time. Not quite sure why the last song is a Bob Dylan impersonation

Favorite Songs: Violence, Drivin' Sister

It's like listening to video game music (derogatory). Soulless, boring background music

Favorite Songs: Bandelero Desperado, You're Mine

The string instruments were a crazy choice and really start to drown everything out near the end. Enjoyed the slow, melancholic sound though. Really conflicted on this, but I can at least appreciate it for being different

Favorite Song: Chelsea Girl, Eulogy to Lenny Bruce

I really struggle to rate Jazz on this list. I really like Jazz whenever it comes up and I'll never say no to turning some on, but I'm just not likely to play Jazz very much on my own. I feel positive towards it, but never ecstatic.

Anyways, this is obviously very good Jazz, but it feels very run-of-the-mill. Not Miles's fault, as this style was obviously copied a lot later, but it's not doing too much for me now. The second half is definitely better than the first

Favorite Songs: Deception, Rocker

I've been really struggling with this project for the last bit, and looking through it's because I haven't had anything new I really liked for the entire month of August. For some reason, this album really spoke to me. It is just britpop, but how solemn and quiet it is drew me in.

Favorite Songs: Freedom! '90, They Won't Go When I Go, Cowboys and Angels

I feel like I'm at a high school pep rally for a third rate school. The sampling could be cool, but the constant shouting really drowns it all out.

Favorite Song: Girls, Fight for your Right, No Sleep Till Brooklyn

There are hints of something good here, but the content of the music is unbearably awful. Kim is a truly awful song, the lyrics are misogynistic and homophobic. He really had a grip on so many kids around Michigan and tries his hardest to pass the buck in this album

Favorite Songs: Stan, The Real Slim Shady

I mean they're obviously crushing it, but this is really overplayed and I'm just kinda sick of it

Favorite Songs: Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City
