Poppy - Empty Hands
73

It's a slight step down from her last album, but I still enjoyed this. Seeing Poppy's journey from pop girlie to metal vocalist has been a lot of fun watch.

Favorite song is "If We're Following the Light"
Least favorite song is "Time Will Tell"

Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Heart
47

This is one of Lou Reed's weaker albums. Not quite a Metal Machine Music, but it's pretty low.

Favorite song is "Temporary Thing"
Least favorite song is "You Wear It So Well"

NOFX - Pump Up The Valuum
71

I'm pretty sure the thing on the cover was in that Nostalgic Critic The Wall video.

Favorite song is "Take Two Placebos and Call Me Lame"
Least favorite song is "Pharmacist's Daughter"

Ringo Starr - Old Wave
50

I didn't really much listening to this. I like Ringo, but he's not the strongest songwriter. If it weren't for that song about driving his car, I would have written this off as a total dud.

Favorite song is "In My Car"
Least favorite song is "Everybody's in a Hurry But Me"

Little Simz - Stillness in Wonderland
90

How is this not a bigger deal? This was so good!

Favorite song is either "Picture Perfect" or "No More Wonderland"
Least favorite song is "Low Tides" (not bad at all btw)

Megadeth - Megadeth
48

What a way to end it. The final song of the final Megadeth album being a cover of a Metallica song is like complaining about your first ex-girlfriend at your retirement party.

Favorite song is "Tipping Point"
Least favorite song is "Another Bad Day"

Sepultura - Morbid Visions
71

I mean, I like it, and I'm glad I heard, and I will listen to the band's other stuff, but I had a hard time understanding any of it. And after a while, the songs started to blend together.

Favorite song is "Crucifixion"
Least favorite song is "Empire of the Damned"

Mustard - 10 Summers
70

As I've stated before, I'm not built for da clerb, but this guy assisted in desecrating Drake's reputation, so I gotta show my respect where I can.

Favorite song is "Face Down"
Least favorite song is "Down on Me"

Deep Purple - Shades of Deep Purple
77

Humble beginnings for a legendary rock act. Really cool to see the origins of the band that would eventually go on to make the boss theme for "Blue Dragon".

Favorite song is "Hush"
Least favorite song is "Help!"

A$AP Rocky - Don't Be Dumb
75

Worth the wait. Mostly. I feel like this could have been a lot better, but it's more experimental than I was expecting, so I guess I'll take that.

Favorite song is "PUNK ROCKY"
Least favorite song is "SWAT TEAM"

Sparks - Propaganda
75

Very catchy, very eccentric. The word for this one is "flamboyant".

Favorite song is "At Home At Work At Play"
Least favorite song is "Achoo"

Iggy Pop - Lust For Life
79

It's very easy listening rock and new wave, which sounds boring, until you consider that Iggy was one of the first acts to popularize it.

Favorite song is the title track
Least favorite song is "Sixteen"

Mötley Crüe - Generation Swine
26

Mötley Crüe takes a crack at every single genre of rock and metal other than the one that people know them for, and the result is... an album. It's definitely an album, I'll give it that.

"Brandon" is definitely one of the songs of all time. It was written and recorded. It was performed. It has a emotion. *sheds tear*

Favorite song is "Afraid"
Least favorite song is "Brandon" (lmao)

The Protomen - Act III: This City Made Us
80

I'll need to listen to the first two acts at some point, since there's a lot here that I'm not getting, but for the music itself: This is what Styx would sound like if they locked tf in.

Favorite song is "Hold On (The Distance Between)"
Least favorite song is "Calling Out" (not bad at all. It's just that it would feel pointless to put one of the shorter songs on here, since they're just supposed to set the pace of the next song)

The Beach Boys - Surfin' U.S.A.
72

Not much to say here. Just a collection of solid songs and it was all presented in less than 30 minutes. Good stuff.

Favorite song is the title track (obviously)
Least favorite song is "Honky Tonk"

Fleetwood Mac - Behind the Mask
70

I know the later years of Mac are seen with less enthusiasm, but I really enjoyed this.

Favorite song is "Skies the Limit"
Least favorite song is "In the Back of My Mind"

Phil Collins - ...But Seriously
68

Full disclosure, I did not finish this album. I'm sorry, he's a legend, but I was exhausted when I started it, and then I picked it up again, I just wasn't feeling it.

Favorite song is "Do You Remember?"
Least favorite song is "Colors"
I stopped listening at "Colors"

Santana - Festivál
70

As I suspected it would, it sounds like a bunch of carnaval songs. Lots of energy. I had a good time.

Favorite song is "Let the Children Play"
Least favorite song is "Try a Little Harder"

Thomas Dolby - A Map of the Floating City
75

I always thought that "She Blinded Me With Science" was just Dolby being cheeky and doing a bit, but no, he just writes like that. I don't dislike it.

Favorite song is "The Toad Lickers" (we appreciate Imogen Heap in this house)
Least favorite song is "Evil Twin Brother"

Lenny Kravitz - Strut
73

There was a lot of energy to this one. I especially liked the second half. Though the final track is a bit of a letdown... but it's fine because this album has SAXOPHONE SOLOS!

Favorite song is "I'm a Believer" (which, unfortunately, is not a cover of The Monkees)
Least favorite song is "Happy Birthday"
