We all love aladdin sane, don't we folks? (It's pretty good. I liked it less than the Berlin albums)

Feels really random to have on the list, but I really liked a lot of the stuff on here, very proggy, which has interesting connotations on an '07 album.

...I know "Deloused" is on this list, really jonesing for some Mars Volta after this one now.

This released closer to The Doors' "Morrison Hotel" than to today. Enjoy.

Turns out putting Leonard Cohen into 80s production sensibilities results in something almost Nick Cave-like (it's better when Nick Cave does it, though)

It stinks! Plenty of examples of them writing good stuff that’s on the list, so why do we need the boring album fulla cover songs

Kind of the Majora’s Mask to the Ocarina of Time of "Rumours," culturally. Came after a really tough act to follow, resulting in something weird that seems to be regarded better in hindsight than it was at the time, etc. For my own personal taste, though, I wasn't too into this one except for the muppet voices they used to sing the title song

Pretty interesting, especially for 1994! Doing White Stripes stuff like a decade before the White Stripes is respectable business

Stupid

*Weird* and interesting halfway point between hip hop and alt-rock sensibilities.

Christ *finally* something halfway listenable from this guy. Now get out of my sight dude

Oh hell yeah now we’re talking, a great time the whole time. Only cowards skip the coda section of “Rock Lobster”

Sunday School music

it’s fine, I like snoop more as a public figure than I like most of his output though

mm, more like Mild Beats

classic of shitty new wave

Probably the first non-Nirvana grunge that's clicked for me at all. "Evenflow" genuinely rips, and I was pretty alright with the rest of it

Did its job very well

A classic, though I’m kinda surprised by how much more I liked "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below"

lol I loved "The Dreaming," but it's not surprising that she had to be more normal for this one. Knocked it out of the park! Basically got her and Peter Gabriel holding down the fort of using 80s production soundfront toward artsy ends

Couldn’t have put it better myself hyuk hyuk
