Rated 8/10
Great storytelling. All his lyrics draw me into a world that he is creating. This is one you have to sit and really pay attention to. Everything seems purposeful from the subtle instrumentation to the use of background vocals.
Rated 10/10
Super diverse and interesting. Bounces from idea to idea without a wasted moment.
Rated 4/10
Not sure why this one is included here. Sledgehammer is a good song though.
Rated 8/10
It’s industrial, metallic, driving, spacey. This is really good.
Rated 8/10
I really enjoyed this. Solid music to walk to. Nice guitar and drum work. Just very pleasing on the ears.
Rated 6/10
Reminds me of early Coldplay. I like it. Nothing super game changing though.
Rated 6/10
The Red Hot Chili Peppers suffer from same problem as AC/DC, they have one song and just make it multiple times. Granted it is a pretty good song, but I don’t need to hear it twelve times in a 73 minute album. Too long. As a white man I have to give this credit for how it pushed forward white culture. Subtracting one point for length.
Rated 8/10
This album really does sound like David Bowie had his hands all over it, and that’s a good thing. Often eerie, dark, loud, and raw.
Rated 8/10
They took a turn away from blues and into folk and it works. Not as adventurous as what they would later do, but good all the same.
Rated 6/10
I recognize that this album is good, but I do not like the singer’s voice.
Rated 2/10
This does nothing for me. Bland, tasteless, fluff. The white bread of music.
This banged.
Rated 8/10
I had only heard the title track prior to listening, and this was not what I was expecting. Very similar in style to what the Who were doing at the time. Definitely good.
Rated 10/10
One of their best. Great song variety. Ic any say anything here that hasn’t already been said.
Rated 6/10
This is really good for a couple songs, but listening to the whole thing front to back might not be the move.
Rated 2/10
Madonna’s vocals are the least interesting part of this album. The electronics are fun, but nothing groundbreaking that I haven’t heard before. Way too long for what it is.
Wasn’t really feeling this one. Songs never seemed to go anywhere. Was ok.
Rated 8/10
Very sad. Good mix of ambient electronics, spoken word passages, and long form songs. Newest album I have gotten so far.
Rated 6/10
Him being a bad person does nothing to me as I am a Kanye West fan. Separating the art from the artist I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. 3.5 I’ll be mean and round down.
Rated 10/10
Older styles done exceptionally in a more modern lens. Production sounds great, singing is excellent. Can’t ask for much more.
