GarbageGarbage

Rated 10/10

This was pretty fun, I had only heard the hits before, but this was refreshing for the 90s. 5*
Highlights: only happy when it rains, queer, stupid girl

I like LCD soundsystem, but never heard most of these. Never a fan of his talking/singing, but otherwise catchy. I enjoyed a lot of this.
Highlights: i used to

DWhite Denim

Rated 10/10

Never heard of this band, but I'm happy to finally get something new and good to listen to. Varied and exciting, deserves to be on this list.

I like and am open to jazz, but this one pushed me, too "post modern". To be fair, this probably should be on this list given it's Miles Davis, but it was just too unstructured for me. Feio made my left ear very uncomfortable. 2*

Rated 8/10

Great guitar, but that's Santana for you. Good vibes, more guitar than vocals. 4*

Vol 4Black Sabbath

Rated 8/10

Wow, Ozzy died yesterday and I got this? Not sure if crazy coincidence or set up this way.
A solid metal record that stays musical and diverse, lots of cool guitar riffs. 4*

Not a fan of Cohen's singing-speaking, and adding 80s backing vocal/synths isn't helping.
Even if you want to be like, his lyrics are good, some of the lyrics were creepy/cringy af.
Did not enjoy this one at all, 1*

YsJoanna Newsom

Rated 4/10

Lyrical, ren-faire-ish music. Bjork adjacent, but doesn't hit the same. She has a good voice, but not for me, 2*
Not giving it 1* because I didn't hate it like some other albums on here, but I never need to listen to this again.

Only knew the titular track going in. Way more diverse than expected: Unexpected west side story in gutter cat vs the jets and the finale, some blues, a little jazz, brass instruments.
Refreshing album from the 70s, 4*

Knowing only piano man, I was ready to shit on this as dad rock, but actually really enjoyed it. Good musicianship, varied tracks, good production, good lyrics. 4*
Highlights: vienna, she's always a woman, only the good die young, movin out

A really enjoyable white stripes album, but didn't love every track, 4*
Highlights: fell in love with a girl, we're gonna be friends, dead leaves on the dirty ground

For decades I took Tracy Chapman for granted, given how much radio play Fast Car gets. What a wild launch to fame she had. Great voice, 3*
Highlights: fast car
