Abbey RoadThe Beatles

Rated 10/10

Arguably peak Beatles, where you can really hear everyone's style most clearly. It's not my fave Beatles album (I think Rubber Soul still takes it), but I can't not give this 5*, it's perfect.
Come together: such a great bass line and opening for an album. Imagine you're in the 60s and think you know the Beatles and then you hear this -- what a banger for the ears.
Something: having the second track be a "George" track is lovely and a great contrast to the opener. The bridge is excellent.
Maxwells silver hammer, octopus' garden: she cute. Ringo has progressed!
Oh darling: an iconic Paul track, the tension in the song is palpable
She's so heavy: another great bass line. Love the bridge with the guitar and harmonies, just so satisfying.
Here comes the sun: just gorgeous
I learned today that "the medley" is the whole back of the album start at "Because" which is nuts -- bangers from top to bottom.
Because: gorgeous, the harmonies are *chef's kiss*, but then again, the Beatles always had this down.
Sun king: the harmonies in the chorus "ki-i-i-i-ing" really hits.
Mean mr mustard: I dig the switch to 3/4
Golden slumbers/carry that weight/the end: all amazing, my favorite part of the album.

I know nothing about this album except for its cover.
This started ok but tracks were hit or miss (insight's vocals were meh). It's wild that this is from the 70s, many tracks sounds like NIN or the 90s.
This led to some cool ambient stuff, so that was neat. 3*

Enjoyable album, lots of elements of music I enjoy. Instrumentals maybe like the Smiths. 3*
Highlights from the deluxe version: the mrs robinson cover (apparently this is making me a S&G shill), knowing me knowing you (I'm also an ABBA shill and these guys make nice covers)

Rated 8/10

This album has a lot of elements I enjoy, and nicely bridges 90s alternative and electronic. I was surprised to already know a couple of songs. A little mellow for me, but enjoyable. 4*
Highlights: sexy boy, all i need, kelly watch the stars

This is fine, unremarkable. As another reviewer put it, this list fucking loves the 60s and puts in here anything that isn't the Beatles from that decade. This album, from any other decade, is a nothingburger.

I was hesitant to get into this while driving (hip hop is not my go to), but I really vibed with this, 4*

Rated 2/10

Nope, screaming and screeching for 40 minutes with no redeeming qualities for me. 1*
I thought the album had one song that didn't suck, but my music player had actually moved on to sonic youth.

OrbitalOrbital

Rated 8/10

A little weird at the intro/outro, but started getting into it halfway through planet of the shapes. I can vibe with this, 4*

BummedHappy Mondays

Rated 2/10

Right away, I'm bummed. Why is this on here? 1*
I will go by the wikipedia tracklist and refuse to sit through 2 hours of this crap.
Was lazyitis trying to replicate the Beatles?

Rated 4/10

So many Lebowski references in the reviews. Other than take it easy, the rest is very bland.
Highlights: take it easy

Were these guys hardcore vegetarians?
It's very Smiths -- enjoyable sound but nothing stood out. 3*
Barbarism begins at home had a nice bass groove.

Super different from anything I've heard before, I can see how this precedes hip hop in some markets. I didn't love every track, but a lot I really enjoyed, good discovery. Maybe it's white people appropriating black music again (what isn't in the 20th century), but it is catchy. 4*

The story of this album sounds wild. Never heard it as a whole, so I'm excited. I think this cements Paul's capabilities outside the Beatles. Easy 5*
Highlights: band on the run (a banger, a masterpiece of many songs in one), jet, mrs vanderbilt, let me roll it
