TidalFiona Apple

Rated 8/10

Really didn't rate this album as very much on a first listen, but Fiona Apple's voice is gorgeous and she shows it all over this one

Favorite Songs: Slow Like Honey, Shadowboxer

This album was definitely helped by my mood this morning. Feeling kinda sleepy with it raining outside made this exactly what I wanted to hear. I didn't even notice that it was 70 minutes long until near the very end, which normally would really bother me. A really pleasant listen

Favorite Songs: ... & On, Orange Moon, Time's A Wastin

I really wanted to give this a fair chance, and was kind of into parts of it at first, but it very quickly got on my nerves. If this is their "most accessible" album, I'm afraid of their other music.

Favorite Song: Dracula Mountain

Unfortunately, I just wasn't in the mood to listen to this at the time. It's really my style of hip-hop and maybe I'd love it another time. Acetate Prophets was awesome though

Favorite Songs: Freedom, What's Golden, One of Them, Acetate Prophets

It was really nice Bossa Nova, but I can't say I remember all that much of it. Great lounge music, not great music to actively listen to.

Rated 4/10

I liked the pink parts of this, but not the math rock parts. Just too long and too boring

Favorite Song: Breadcrumb Trail

Sorry, but I love The Flaming Lips. Totally get the complaints about Wayne Coyne's vocals, but I won't apologize. Not my favorite album of theirs, but still pretty good

Favorite Songs: Race for the Prize, A Spoonful Weighs a Ton, The Spiderbite Song, What is the Light?

Yeah, whatever. The most middle of the road album imaginable. Nothing offensively bad, but nothing great either

Favorite Song: Spring Heeled Jim, Speedway

I had literally no clue what they were saying, but it was a really fun time. I'd be a little surprised if this sticks around in newer versions of this list, but it's so unique and definitely not something I would have listened to without this list.

Favorite Songs: Soubour, Al Hassidi Terei

I'm sorry Iron Maiden. I wasn't familiar with your game. I get why Ralph Fines rocked out so hard to this album

Favorite Songs: Children of the Damned, The Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, Hallowed Be Thy Name

Easily my favorite Pink Floyd album, and probably their best. Not a single song I would skip. It's hard to put into words how much I love this album, but it's definitely in my top 5.

Favorite Songs: Shine on You Crazy Diamond (1-5) & (5-9), Have a Cigar

RepeaterFugazi

Rated 6/10

Should probably give this a relisten later down the line, but this just didn't do very much for me on the first listen. It was enjoyable enough though

I don't think reggae is really my thing, but I can respect the talent necessary to make it

Favorite Song: Stop that Train

So much fun. Had me dancing around the kitchen while listening to this. How can you not like Stevie Wonder?

Favorite Songs: Smile Please, Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away, You Haven't Done Nothin
