SoPeter Gabriel

Rated 4/10

"Guarantee you anyone born after 1982 is not putting this in their 1001 albums to listen to list" was one of the reviews, and it was my initial gut reaction, but something about the bridge of "red rain" caught my interest. A nice listen,, but heavily too 80s for me 2*
Highlight: in your eyes

An opening song about allergies is definitely a choice. So is cars are cars. Nice Paul Simon though, 3*
Highlights: heart and bones

ImagineJohn Lennon

Rated 4/10

Take away the fact that this is John Lennon, the album is kinda meh outside the two songs I knew. It's Lennon dabbling in other genres and being kinda mid at it; Paul and George did better solo stuff. 2*
Highlights: imagine, jealous guy

Didn't know Lenny's music outside of "are you gonna go my way"; this is a great listen. Kinda funky. 4*
Highlights: let love rule, i build this garden for us

I've had a string of flops, so I'm excited to listen to this one as a whole for the first time. The fact that this is 60 years old is wild. 5*
It's very atmospheric and would work very well in an IMAX theater with space footage playing. It may not be an album I return to often, but I recognize how grand it is. It has the overarching feeling of a symphony.
Highlights: breathe, us and them (epic buildup, these dudes know how to use dynamics), brain damage

Thought I would like this more because nostalgia, but beyond got the life/freak on a leash, I didn’t really enjoy this much. Very same-y and not in a way of “I would have liked this song a lot back then too”

I’m just not a Springsteen fan beyond Philadelphia. Born to run had good potential but when he started singing I was no longer into it.

I don't think I would listen to this on a regular basis, but it's nice to be exposed to Sinatra and 50's swing. Puts me in a Bioshock/Fallout mood (anything goes!). 3* because not really my jam. I enjoyed how the album flowed.

Some reviewer on this website described this as "1001 albums the authors listened to" and I'm never going to forget that. This falls into that bucket. Nothing new or interesting here, it's ok. Also super hard to track down the album as a whole but I really don't want to. 2*

Rated 2/10

I found a deluxe version of this album that was 2x longer, and noped back to the regular version.
I like electronic, but this is like shitty Bjork, and I don't even like Bjork. Songs that are weirdly moany and sexual are a huge turn-off. 1*
