The black keys are a band that by all means I should like, but I just can't get into fully, got kind of sick of them being shoved down my throat by spotify.
Anyway, some good songs in this one.
Highlights: everlasting light, howlin for you

Being ThereWilco

Rated 6/10

Standard alternative album, I think others did it better, but I appreciate how cross-genre it tried to be. Really fucking long and boring though. 3*

That this is proto-punk and way out there for the time is wild to me. Sounds so normal? Like grungier rolling stones? I guess it influenced many others. It's ok, 3*

Reminds me of the circus album I got from this a little while back (The United States Of America?). It's ok, don't know the hype. 3*
Enjoyed: lost and found

I was only aware of Brian Eno's more atmospheric stuff, which is better than this. I guess he had to start somewhere, but it doesn't mean this album should have been included here. 2*

A classic, my beef is with the sound balance where sax/trumpet would come through only one ear, which is very jarring. Still 5*

MetallicaMetallica

Rated 8/10

First time listening to this album as a whole, though I've listened to many of these songs before. I get the hate, outside of their timeless hits, the rest all sounds the same, vanilla metal. 4*
Highlights: enter sandman (badass opener), nothing else matters, the unforgiven

This was nice (especially compared to all the not readily available albums on this list), but I'm not sure it's anything special. More anglocentric crap.

Brought to you by the era of "The <noun>s" bands.
First exposure to the vines outside "get free", actually really enjoyed the album overall, had to give it another listen. Just up my street, but nothing super noteworthy, 4*
Comparing to Nirvana is bit much.
Highlights: get free, outtathaway, country yard

The BandThe Band

Rated 6/10

A nice Americana album, without veering too much into country, which is always good in my book. No tracks that blew it out of the water for me though, 3*

Dub HousingPere Ubu

Rated 2/10

Is this another one of the author's just highlighting random-ass american/british groups nobody cares about? I'm 30 sec in, and I already hate it. The chicken wailing is doing nothing for me. 1*
