Rated 6/10
Decent album with some powerful hits (Sunday Bloody Sunday will always get me going) here and there and some good political commentary, but doesn't really stick the landing.

Rated 6/10
It's alright! But I'm missing some of the passion and energy that Elton John is known for. It's like he's keeping his power under control.
Rated 2/10
"Boy, yesterday was a mediocre electronica album. Wonder what today will bring!"
"Oh."
This one had the benefit of being slightly more grating than the last one. So good job, I suppose!
Rated 4/10
It's good background music, or good background music when you're jorking it. But is that the lofty standard we seek to attain on this list, that claims to host the most influential albums of all time?
Rated 10/10
Catchy, great riffs, good stuff all around baybeee
It's good, hard-hitting and powerful stuff. Beats are exceptionally funky and varied. Some of the tracks do tend to get a bit too much with repetitive yells and callouts.
Rated 8/10
Definitely scores high on the vibes department, it's chill and relaxing to listen to. Carries a powerful message for the time it was recorded in, so I don't think that disassociating the context from the music here can make you truly appreciate it.
It's pretty alright. Decent punk, but nothing that stands out, and most of the tracks blend together.
Rated 10/10
Now this is an album that I'm definitely going to revisit! Good flow and beats, there's a lot of multifaceted skills and personalities in the background of this album. The outro is heartwarming as well: it's nice for a rapper to give credit where credit is due. Albums like these rarely are the complete domain of a single person: it's usually a team effort.
Rated 6/10
Hmmmm. This is going to be the biggest of 'alright' for me. Iggy Pop's voice is really something you need to get used to.
Rated 6/10
One hell of an album, that's for sure. Harrison is certainly prolific, but its length is also its biggest detriment - after a while you start hankering for something else.
Rated 8/10
I mean, I enjoyed it. It's definitely catchy. And you gotta give credit where credit is due when it comes to the King of Pop. But a whole album of MJ was surprisingly too much for me.
Rated 6/10
A diverse and lush soundscape that indicates a willingness to experiment. Sadly, some of it doesn't work.
Rated 4/10
Forgettable music you can hear in the club. 'Music Makes you Lose Control' is the only track that made me perk up in recognition, and that's only because of a meme.
Rated 6/10
A haunting concept album, that, for me at least, was a bit ruined through the meandering voice of Reed. He almost seems like he's telling a bedtime story, which doesn't lend well to making me perk up and listen to him. Guitar work is quite decent.
Rated 6/10
Good stuff, made especially more potent due to the history behind it. In a way, making music can be revolutionary.
Rated 10/10
A diverse, multitudinous album whose influence reaches back to even today. Aside from being a great vocalist and a raw rapper, I love how Hill is not afraid to tackle different subjects in her album that might be very un-commercial for a producer.
Rated 8/10
Classic and beautiful. Dusty's voice is the main draw here and remarkably still holds up today in my opinion.
Rated 8/10
Just some fun glam rock, nice little palate cleanser after some of the more out there stuff. Although the vocalist is trying way too hard to stand out with his falsetto voice, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Rated 6/10
Well, it does what it says on the tin: if I was smoking a cigarette and lounging on a balcony, I think this would be quite the pleasant experience. Unfortunately I listened to this in the middle of the hellish experience that is public transport, so effects may vary.
