album 512: nick cave & the bad seeds - abattoir blues / the lyre of orpheus

Heard it before, even heard some songs from it live! I do love Nick's music and even though I don't really understand why this album is on the list I'm still gonna give it a good rating

4/5

album 513: neu! - neu! 75

Heard a different album from them before and I think I liked the other one better. This is still a solid album tho

3/5

album 514: boards of canada - music has the right to children

First time listening to them. For some reason I thought they're a rock band and that they're actually from Canada (they're none of those things). The overall vibe of the album was cool albeit not too many tracks stood out. Still something tells me that's a 3/5 album

3/5

album 515: grant lee buffalo - fuzzy

This list keeps making up 90s musicians who don't exist. Never heard of them. I'm afraid the Wikipedia article mentioning that Michael Stipe likes this album influenced my opinion of it because it turns out the album is quite ok? So much so that I'm giving it a 3

3/5

album 516: brian eno - before and after science

Oh another Eno album just a week later? That will be my last Eno album from the list. Also one I haven't listen to before. I'm afraid this one was the most boring one of the bunch

2/5

album 517: mariah carey - butterfly

First time listening to a Mariah album in full. 90s R&B is just not my thing at all. The music sounds nearly identical on all the songs and the biggest selling point seems to be the vocals. But the thing is, I don't really care about impressive vocals. Mariah could hit whistle notes for 3 minutes straight and I just wouldn't care. Is it a well produced, well performed album? Sure. But it's just not for me

2/5

album 518: shuggie otis - inspiration information

Haven't heard of him before so I didn't have any expectations. Pleasantly surprised! Some nice groovy tunes. Not spectacular but quite cool

3/5

album 519: the stooges - raw power

I've heard some songs from it before and knew I like them but wow listening to the whole album was so crazy? Something clicked really hard in my brain. This is such an amazing album. I knew Stooges made bangers but wow

4/5

album 520: slipknot - slipknot

I'm not too sure if I've ever even heard a Slipknot song in full. Their scary mask thing has always been very off putting for me. Corey Taylor sings in a way that doesn't fit the music. The music can't decide if it wants to be proper metal, numetal or something goofier SOAD style. And on most of the songs Corey delivers some Extreme vocals that just don't fit, aren't impressive and cheapen the music. It's not the worst thing in the world but they're trying way too hard to be edgy it becomes a parody of itself
