Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear

This is just the average of every indie rock album I've heard. Not bad, just didn't stand out. It was cool to hear the original song 'two weeks' since I've heard the sample so many times, but that's all.

Debut by Björk
Jan 13 2021

Super funky. Had some really cool bright spots, but more of the album was 'weird' then good listening.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 15 2021

Also easy listening. Pretty folksy. I like it though. Had heard a couple of these prior

Jan 18 2021

This is a live jazz album which I wasn't expecting. I like the commentary, and even though jazz isn't my thing I really liked the music.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jan 19 2021

Favorite so far. Short and sweet, only 8 songs. I'd heard the title track, fame, and the original 'across the universe'. I like all those a lot, otherwise the album was average. More upbeat rock then the other albums I've gotten

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jan 20 2021

This is a 4.5 star album. Genuine classic rock, some really good stuff. I can't believe I hadn't ever heard of Jethro Tull before. The Title song on this album I had heard but barely, and I didn't have any context. Want to re-listen interview at the end of this album too since I didn't catch much while at work

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jan 21 2021

It's like a 3.5. This is really good electronic music with some alternative and rock undertones. Most these songs have a really nice beat - Very 90s Tom Cruise action movie vibes. The downfall is that it is solely electronic. No lyrics, just pure upbeat electronic. It'd be cool live, and it's great background for work or maybe skiing, but I wouldn't play it in most situations.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jan 25 2021

This is just the average of every indie rock album I've heard. Not bad, just didn't stand out. It was cool to hear the original song 'two weeks' since I've heard the sample so many times, but that's all.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 26 2021

This is cool! Didn't know who this was but I knew a couple of these songs. Really liked this album actually

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jan 27 2021

This just isn't my music taste. Took a while to get through

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 28 2021

This is right on the cusp of 5. The reason I went 4 is because this much AC/DC is a lot in a row

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jan 29 2021

It was a slow synth ballad album. Not my style

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Feb 01 2021

By the end of this album, I loved this album. Closest to a 5 so far (besides the one 5 obviously)

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Feb 02 2021

Super duper funky. Short and sweet. This album has a specific vibe and when it's right it's right. No standout songs but the whole thing is just good.

Feb 03 2021

Good stuff. Dylan is on the folksy/harmonica portion of rock but it grew on me and I ran this album back multiple times

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Feb 04 2021

Old country music. Something mom would put on in the car I feel like. Not bad by any means, so it broke into 3 instead of 2, but not my type personally.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 08 2021

Yah it was okay. I don't get the hype, it's not for me I guess. I gave it a 3 over a 2 on account of it being pleasant sounding music, even though it's not my style.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Feb 10 2021

I didn't listen to the 2 hours worth of bonus tracks but the album was fine up until that.

Feb 11 2021

Nice. Couple of the favorites are on this album. The rest felt closer to good then great though

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Feb 15 2021

This album was sick. Got a new song off it, enjoyed it a lot.

Feb 17 2021

I started out excited to listen to some hard rock, and by the second song I was ready for a change of pace. Idk if this album just caught me in the wrong mood, or if I never knew I didn't like thrash metal. And I'll say there were one or two REALLY nice solos in hidden in here, but that wasn't enough to change my mind on the whole album.
