Aggressive harmonica, but I just can't with his singing style. I can't stand the talky-pretend-to-sing style of some singer songwriters. I really wanted to give up on this. 1*

I used to be obsessed with the beatles, but never liked their back half as much as their earlier albums (Rubber Soul is my favorite). Today I'm revisiting this after years.
...
Who am I kidding, this album is excellent, there's so much variety in musicality, no dull moments, an evolution for the Beatles. 5*
Some highlights: a day in the life (that iconic end), with a little help (one of the best ringo songs), she's leaving home (the harmonies! the strings!), lucy in the sky with diamonds, when i'm 64 (adorable)
Rated 4/10
I saw him live recently, and the dude still misogynistic, homophobic af
Rap is not really my genre, this was ok. Enjoyed the body count half more. 2*
Rated 8/10
Radiohead just makes interesting music. This is more electronic but still really enjoyable (I'm a bigger fan of earlier Radiohead, hence -1, but it is better than a lot of 4* albums on here).
Rated 8/10
Never heard of this band or #1 album before, but surprisingly enjoyable. Try again sounded very George Harrison.
Rated 6/10
Amy was talented but I'm not a huge fan of her voice. This album was ok, 3*
Rated 6/10
Embryonic journey forever ingrained because of the Friends finale
Nice 60s album, good instrumentation. Just doesn't crack outstanding album for me, maybe because too many 60s/70s on here. 3*
Rated 8/10
Kings of leon is on this list multiple times?! This is the one album of theirs I can conceive of being here.
Very overplayed in its time, his voice was really grating to me. It's ok but kind of generic rock when I hear it now, still enjoyed more tracks than I thought I would. 4*
Highlights: use somebody, sex on fire (it's just nostalgic at this point), notion, cold desert
Rated 4/10
Poppy shit, unclear of why it's here. Sounded kind of generic. 2*
Rated 8/10
Fun bombastic arcade fire album. 4*
Highlights: keep the car running, no cars go
Rated 8/10
Does apache predate the jump on it song?
Fun album of instrumental/bongo covers (or many sounded like covers).
Rated 6/10
Nice reggae album. Good vibes, although it all sounded similar to me. 3*
Rated 4/10
Idk how to judge hip hop albums. This one was a bit sexist and dated at times. 2*
Rated 8/10
The vocals kinda remind me of Garbage. I'm not a huge fan of whispy female singers, but this album has some nice moments. 4*
Highlights: sour times
Rated 6/10
Ok power metal album, not necessarily my jam, but didn't dislike it. 3*
Rated 8/10
Darling Nikki is so scandalous! Very poppy album, so I have to dock some points because I don't like the 80s ultra-produced pop sound. 3.5 rounded up to 4*
Highlights: when doves cry, i would die 4 u, purple rain
Enjoyed some tracks (like turquoise hexagon sun), others gave me anxiety.
Innovative, but as much as I like electronic, I also don't enjoy more anxiety than what I'm already prone to.
3*
Rated 8/10
Second nick drake within a week, and last time I was pleasantly surprised.
One of the few singer songwriters I really enjoy, his stuff just doesn't age. 4*
Rated 6/10
Jazz-ish, but like smooth jazz that plays on the radio. Nice, pleasant to the ear, but nothing extraordinary.
Rated 6/10
White reggae seems like a stretch of the definition - I hear it in the instrumentals but not necessarily the vocals. Kind of a fun album.
Highlights: message in a bottle
