Rated 6/10
Look at that cute cat on the cover!
Maybe I just don't get it. She's talented and has a nice voice, but I didn't really get into this album. It's fine. 3*

Rated 8/10
U2 goes pretty hard. I disregard the iTunes fiasco hate. This one has a few bangers and excellent drums. 4*
Highlights: Sunday Bloody Sunday (what an album opener), New Year’s Day (that hook!)
Rated 4/10
I always chalked Rod Stewart off as a piano crooner, I don't know why. He's definitely more rock than jazz though. Old school rock vibes from "that's all right," sounded a little like Paul McCartney.
Not really my kind of album, but better than expected. 2*.
Rated 2/10
80s junk, why is this on here?
I read other reviews and listened to this version, which seems to be the correct one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1zzVqrCEeU&list=RDO1zzVqrCEeU
The version on Apple Music/Spotify starts sounding more like 2000s-mall-spa album, so I figured that was the 2012 "remastered" trash everyone refers to.
The original is wonderful, pastoral, peaceful, transports you. 5*
It's unfortunate you can't easily stream the original.
This put me on a kick of raga music, fantastic.
Highlights: ahir bhairav, nat bhairav
Rated 6/10
I went to high school with their current sax player! (there's nowhere else I can brag about this)
It was ok, some nice tracks. Veers into the "talking instead of singing" I don't enjoy. 3*
Highlights: blister in the sun (classic), prove my love (60s vibes)
Lowlights: gimme the car (jesus wtf) (this song alone made me debate giving it 2/5)
Rated 6/10
So many mixed feelings about Kanye. He has so much catchy stuff, but he's such a POS. This album has some catchy elements but also feels very self-indulgent. 3*
Rated 8/10
Didn't know most of these songs going in. Had no idea this album was a double of solo albums.
I've never listened to Big Boi's side, and it's catchy as hell. 5*
Andre 3000's side was less good, but had a couple of bangers. Self-indulgent like many have said. Opposite of what I expected to like more going into this album. 3*
I will never understand rap/hiphop interludes, -0.5*
A rare case where I didn't mind this being 2hr+ long. 4* (rounded up from 3.5)
Highlights: hey ya, roses, church, ghettomusick
Rated 4/10
The flaming lips: I can barely tolerate this attempt at singing. Good and varied instrumentals.
I should never feel imposter syndrome about my singing skills is the bottom line. 2*
Rated 6/10
An alright alternative album, sounded kind of generic for the 90s.
Rated 6/10
I wasn't super into this in the opening track, but this is the day and giant were a vibe.
Rated 6/10
Spacey, not bad, good work music. 3*
Highlights: shine a light
Rated 6/10
Enjoyable, kind of reminds me of Neon Trees. 3*
Rated 4/10
Hardcore punk is not for me, but I recognize what this album means for the time. 2*
Rated 6/10
I was inclined to dislike yet another folk 60s album. But this was nice to listen to, didn't feel like everything else. 3*
Rated 8/10
Never heard of these guys, sound kind of punk. Right away I dig their energy. Varied tracks. 4*
Highlights: family entertainment
Rated 6/10
This is fine alt rock, I'm not sure it's TVotR's best. 3*
Rated 4/10
Sounds kinda punk, but wouldn't have described it as such without knowing. It's an ok rock/proto-punk album, nothing stands out. 2*
Rated 6/10
There's a lot of 90s electronic here, but the chemical brothers are more my style. I like fatboy slim, and this is in a similar vein. More repetitive than fatboy slim, though, and doing this album sober feels like I'm missing something. 3*
Highlights: block rockin beats, where do i begin (a nice break)
Rated 4/10
sepultura is a pretty badass name for a metal band. that said, hardcore metal is not really my genre. it's fine from a musical perspective, better than a lot of metal on here, but not for me, 2*
