For a punk album, this was pretty good. Usually they're pretty rough, but this was mostly enjoyable. I could listen to more. 3.5/5

The DoorsThe Doors

Rated 6/10

There's some decent songs on this album, but none that get me to get The Doors. I know they were influential, but they're not great in my opinion. 3/5

I wouldn't say any of this was necessarily bad, just really repetitive. The lyrics were garbage, but that's pretty much expected for this kind of music. My main issue with this was that every single song could've been at most 3 minutes. The repetitiveness would start to get annoying around that time and then there'd be a false ending where I felt a real ending would've been natural, only to then go on for 2-4 more minutes with no payoff. Easily could've been a 3/5 from me if it was just shorter. 2/5

DirtAlice in Chains

Rated 8/10

I've never really listened to Alice in Chains, but I dig this album. Will definitely have to listen to more. 4.5/5

I like this album more than I thought I would. While it’s a pretty sad sounding album, there’s a lot of pretty musical moments. The vocals weren’t bad, but often the weaker parts of the album for me. I’ll likely return to this. 4/5

I liked this album. The roughness of the vocals added to the vibe in a way that just sat right with me. I'll probably have to come back to this at some point. 4/5

This was decent. In my mind, jazz doesn't have singing, but this may have changed my mind. Not a stellar album, but decent enough to give it 3/5

It’s not like this album was bad, it was just boring. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen. The atmosphere of it was good and it reminded me a bit of Tears for Fears. 2.5/5

Rap/hip hop is not my thing. This started out bearable, but I got really sick of it. Of course it had to have the usual rap album sounds of sex song... 1/5

Hot FussThe Killers

Rated 6/10

Some of these songs are in a regular playlist of mine. It was decent, but the known hits were definitely the best parts of it. 3.5/5

Short but good. I recognized a few of these and enjoyed most of the rest. I guess there was a reason Elvis was such a bit back in the day. 4/5

This album has so many bangers on it.; Knights of Cydonia, Map of the Problematique, Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole... actually, pretty much all of them. Great album! 5/5 for me

This was not good. The songs were repetitive musically and the vocals were more of a rant than singing. Futures and Pasts was really the only song that had something interesting going on. 1.5/5

MelodramaLorde

Rated 6/10

This was ok, not outstanding, but decent. She's got a fairly good voice and the songs we decent, it just didn't really click with me. I'll still give it a 3/5
