1984 by Van Halen

I really, really love this album. I always mowed to it but listening to it in this context really helped me to appreciate the musical brilliance that they brought to the table. Combining super heavy rock licks with the sort of new wave/synth pop sound feels really natural now but had to have been shocking when it came out. I really, really, like this album. RIP EVH.

Pretty Frickin great. I like the little Meatpuppets suite at the end. This album really demonstrates the strength of Kurt Cobain's songwriting I think.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Sep 24 2020

Liked it a lot. Interesting to see the mix of sonic experimentation and blues songwriting.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Sep 28 2020

Kinda weird but still cool. There’s something about janes addiction that always grossed me out for some reason.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Sep 29 2020

Modern Jazz is just too exciting for me to really get into this. I respect the talent tho

Pink Flag by Wire
Sep 30 2020

Pretty frickin cool

Moondance by Van Morrison
Oct 01 2020

Really really like this album. Caravan, into the mystic, are so good. The lyrics are not that deep but still poetic and the chord progressions are not obnoxious but still rousing.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Oct 02 2020

Very ok. Should be called “soul” no rock here. That said, he has a great voice and there are good songs here. Just a little too slow in general.

GI by Germs
Oct 05 2020

Germs are cool

Soul Mining by The The
Oct 06 2020

Pretty cool, pretty vibey. Surprised I hadn’t heard of it before.

Oct 07 2020

Lotta really good stuff on here but at over 2 hours it feels bloated. I get that it’s like a double album or whatever but it felt like a slog by the end. Everything with killer mike is great and this is an impressive forward thinking hip-hop album from a time when song structure and innovation were far from the rap games mind.

S&M by Metallica
Oct 08 2020

Surprisingly sick. Didn’t like it at first but there’s actually a lot of energy. I think this is my favorite version of “fuel”

Technique by New Order
Oct 13 2020

Super super vibey.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Oct 16 2020

Pretty good. Most of the music I like is inspired by this stuff but Its not my favorite.

Risque by CHIC
Oct 19 2020

Similar to EWAF I respect them a lot but it wasn’t my favorite to listen to.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Oct 20 2020

Pretty cool but a little bit boring. Just a bunch of cool jazz solos.

Diamond Life by Sade
Oct 27 2020

its cool i guess. I didn't really get anything from it. Just felt really easy listening.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Oct 28 2020

Pretty great. A little dreary but the songwriting is strong

xx by The xx
Oct 29 2020

I liked it more than I expected to.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Oct 30 2020

It sounds like the 90s lol

Nov 02 2020

Pretty Frickin great. I like the little Meatpuppets suite at the end. This album really demonstrates the strength of Kurt Cobain's songwriting I think.
