Wow for timing, RIP Brian Wilson. I enjoy their vocals, but their lyrics are basic.
Highlights: do you wanna dance, dance dance dance

Hm, this gets a lot of praise but maybe this album just didn't click with me. Good musicality, Gaye is an icon, but the album was ok for me, 3*
Rated 6/10
Pleasant, summer dad rock. 3*
Rated 4/10
It's ok, maybe I don't get hip hop, but the praise seems overblown, 2*
Rated 6/10
I'm not sure what this album was trying to do. It was nice at times, but it also came and went, 3*
Rated 10/10
Damn, this is so funky off the start. I think I've heard a lot of funk that does the instrumentals really well, but these guys also have some fun harmonized vocals that really add to it.
Highlight: give up the funk
Don't know what I expected, definitely not something this funky. I think it requires several listens to understand. 3*
Rated 10/10
I rejoice every time I get a non-anglo album. This is lovely acapella, feels like a warm blanket. 5*
Highlights: how long
EXP: I did not enjoy how this ran circles around my head
Wait until tomorrow: cool groove
Overall enjoyable, but Jimi is not always my thing 4*
Rated 8/10
Ooo, wild world is in this one. A lot sounds like it, a nice melancholy album. I was expecting it to be one of those where one song is expected to carry the album, but it wasn't. 4*
Highlights: wild world
Rated 6/10
Hm, other than there she goes, not much going on here that makes this unique. Not sure about the accolades and inclusion in this list. 3*
Highlights: there she goes
Rated 8/10
This guy wore a comfy-looking hat and we thought he was so quirky in the 90s. Listening to it now, he sounds like a bit of budget Stevie Wonder, but I dig the mixing of genres. A fun album, 4*
Rated 10/10
Never heard this as a whole, just some songs, it really is a lovely album. Everybody hurts isn't even the best track on this. 5*
Highlights: man on the moon, everybody hurts, the sidewinder sleeps tonite
When ya get drafted made me think of system of a down.
Fun, good energy, maybe a little underproduced but that's on par for punk of the era. 3*
Rated 6/10
Had no idea psycho killer was from the 70s. The rest is ok, but doesn't go as hard. 3*
Highlights: psycho killer, pulled up
Rated 8/10
It's like the Beatles but make them more glam? Kind of a fun, refreshing album for the era. 4*
Highlights: bang a gong (actually pretty good)
Rated 6/10
More country-ish than expected based on the artists. Had some good moments, but too twangy for my taste. 3*
Highlights: california stars, birds and ships
Rated 6/10
This is prog? This was fine, like a milder Led Zeppelin or something. 3*
Rated 6/10
I was a little sus of "art rock", but I kind of enjoyed the instrumentals on this one. Maybe I just caught it at a good time. The vocals kinda blew though, easily took points off for that nonsense. 3*
Ugh country. It wasn't bad, but it's just not my thing.
