Music to start a revolution to

Fav tracks: Bombtrack, Killing In the Name, Know Your Enemy

KIDS SEE GHOSTS - KIDS SEE GHOSTS
70

Too short of an album

Fav tracks: Kids See Ghosts, Cudi Montage

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
95

I didn't expect Kendrick to say negus over and over again

Fave tracks: Wesley's Theory, King Kunta, These Walls, How Much a Dollar Cost, The Blacker the Berry, i

Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell!
85

Beautiful songs that make me miss a love in California that I never actually had

Fav Tracks: Venice Bitch, Fuck it I love you, Happiness is a butterfly

Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
80

Lots of great guitar solos. Most tracks sounded similar though, it felt like I was listening to different variations of the same song throughout the album.

Fav Tracks: What Do You Want from Me, Marooned, Keep Talking

Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
100

Funky grooves, smooth vocals, and catchy hooks. This is real pop music.

Fav tracks: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Workin' Day and Night, Get On the Floor

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
80

Lots of fun instrumental solos throughout the album.

Fav tracks: Right On

Talking Heads - Remain in Light
70

Some of the tracks were too weird for me. There's a lot of meandering going on throughout the album.

Fav tracks: Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On), Once in a Lifetime

Prince and The Revolution - Purple Rain
80

Prince has an incredible voice. Most of the tracks didn't shine on their own for me, but the highlights were really strong.

Fav tracks: Let's Go Crazy, Darling Nikki, Purple Rain

L'impératrice - Pulsar
85

Really funky album. Enchanting vocals, smooth grooves, sweet bass lines.

Fav tracks: Cosmonogie, Me Da Igual

Mobb Deep - The Infamous
95

The tracks hit so hard. This album is really serious and gives a deep look into life in the drug slinging neighbourhoods of 90s NYC. Distinctive drums and beats throughout with angry bars.

Fav tracks: Survival of the Fittest, Give Up the Goods (Just Step), Up North Trip, Shook Ones, Pt. II

Metallica - Master of Puppets
100

The definitive metal album.

Fav tracks: Battery, Master of Puppets

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
85

Really catchy hooks. Lots of unconventional instruments thrown in (bells, kazoos).

A lot of the songs felt like extended choruses. I would've liked if there was more to them, but this was probably a product of the time.

Fav tracks: Wouldn't It Be Nice, Here Today

J Dilla - Donuts
80

Most of the tracks on this album are so short that they pass by before you know they've arrived. The instrumentals are creative and come from a wide array of instruments. The vocals are used as instruments too, with cuts and mashups of different vocalists throughout. It would've been nice if more of the tracks were longer and fleshed out.

Fav track: Bye.

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
90

I'm not too well-versed in hip-hop, but it was surprising to hear beats and bars like this on an album from 1991. If it wasn't for the lyrics where people kept talking about the current year of 1991 I felt like this could've been from the late 90s.

The beats were catchy but they're not the focus here. Q-Tip has incredible flow and just sounds great. Most of the songs were fun but there was a lot of commentary on contemporary issues in the black community. The supporting ... read more

Björk - Homogenic
35

I tried to go into this album with an open mind, but couldn't shake the feeling that the album art was off-putting. Maybe I would've felt differently had I listened to this without seeing the album art first.

Bjork clearly has an incredible voice and her vocal range really shines through across the album. That being said, the avant-garde sounds and instrument combinations throughout were grating to me. There were only a few tracks that I actually enjoyed. Most of the album felt like ... read more

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
80

This album is 1.5h long across only 4 tracks. Each track feels less like a song and more like the retelling of a story through music. The tracks all have these incredibly long buildups and comedowns, but don't feel boring. Although I enjoyed them all it was difficult for me to pinpoint a highlight. This album feels like it's meant to be part of your environment and atmosphere.

Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
100

This album really blew me away. Song after song hit so hard, and I kept recognizing a song I had heard of before or that had been reworked into another (Gangsta's Paradise and Wild Wild West). I love disco and funk, and it's clear from listening to it that this album had a big influence on the genres. Despite being so long the album never felt boring. I knew this album would be great but it was still way better than I expected.

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
95

This album starts out strong and just keeps going. The drums, guitar riffs, solos, horns, and harmonies were really fun. Reminded me a lot of Cowboy Bepop.

There was a track in the middle that sounded like the band were testing their instruments, but it didn't sound too out of place

Madvillain - Madvillainy
85

I generally like rap and there were some fun tracks but I couldn't get into all of them. The instrumentals were great and the bars were creative. Fancy Clown and America's Most Blunted were the highlights for me.
