Popular Reviews

A great album in the sense that pacman was a great game, clearly seminal, famous songs abound, and a step forward with the Beatles adding more orchestral sounds. Drug Beatles as my mom would call it. Digging a hole is good, Day in the Life and 64 classics but kind of played out. I just don't crave the Beatles.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals

I wanted to hate this hippie nonsense, but then it had so many classic bangers.

Gris Gris by Dr. John

Music to Manson Family to.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain

Do you remember the JAMC? Yes, yes I do.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jan 13 2021

Typical modern rock, lots of radio hits. Spoonman was the track I enjoyed most.

The Cars by The Cars
Jan 14 2021

Seminal. Moving in Stereo moved me the most, interesting blend of prog rock and 80s synth sound.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 15 2021

Classic, had previously listened in full.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jan 18 2021

Good background music, nothing particularly stood out

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jan 25 2021

Listened a few days late. Album is extremely cheesy rock, but the riff on Money for Nothing still slaps, first bench press vibes.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jan 27 2021

I wanted to hate this hippie nonsense, but then it had so many classic bangers.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jan 28 2021

Do you remember the JAMC? Yes, yes I do.

More Specials by The Specials
Jan 29 2021

Eccentric album, a song about James Bond? Reggae? Feels very British, sounds semi-Caribbean. Not particularly my cuppa.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Feb 01 2021

Prefer the Stones, it turns out. This seems like a fun jukebox album and would've been cool to see live.

Feb 02 2021

Cacophonous and meandering, experimental like a bunch of kids just vibing on pianos. Enjoyed the weird riffs.

Be by Common
Feb 03 2021

Every track is masterful, beats fantastic. One of my favorites.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Feb 04 2021

Spotify version is hella long. Good gloomy music, can feel the influence it had. Songs are differentiated well but still very similar across the album. Rainy day perfect.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Feb 08 2021

Lead to listening to Born to Die. Good tracks, good beats, good flow.

Protection by Massive Attack
Feb 09 2021

Enjoyed this, good ambient music for working; good beats/vocals/instrumental juxtaposition. Enjoyed Weather Storm, Sly, Euro Child... Not House music tho.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 10 2021
Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Feb 16 2021

Twangy hippie nonsense, but also Jesus. Of course classics on this too. No standout tracks I hadn't previously heard.

Feb 18 2021

Good album, can feel the influence. Big titus andronicus energy. Will continue exploring other Pavement albums following.

Dare! by The Human League
Feb 19 2021

Synthy jams.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Feb 22 2021

My first time getting into the Clap. I'd heard the hits, obviously, but never an entire album. Enjoyable.

Feb 24 2021

Brings back memories of an Irish girl. Lots of beeping.

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 25 2021

I'm probably too young for this to resonate. Boomer rock, but it's positive at least. I don't really care do u...2 stars

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 26 2021

The hipstersauce my ears crave. Too many kids screaming in the background. Coupla bangers, like don't look back like dylan and title track.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 02 2021
Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Mar 05 2021

First full Metallica album I've listened to. I can see why 80's teens were into it. Complicated rhythms, edgy lyrics. Moms don't love it.

Mar 10 2021

Clouds Up is my jam. Otherwise ethereal.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Mar 11 2021

World music is not for me, but the harmonies are nice.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Mar 12 2021

Good electronic beats, dark and gothic at times. Way too many versions on the album. Dirge #2 is pretty good.

Mar 24 2021

I guess it's early rock and country blend. It's got maggie may. Inoffensive. Every song... doesn't tell a story. Little distracted by heavy machinery outside. I'm losing you is a jam, dig the honky tonk piano

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Mar 26 2021

I could love this less. Same ethereal energy as Virgin Suicides with more arena sounding guitars. Reminds me of Viva Voce and solo drive to Presidio.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Apr 08 2021

Whiny falsetto and asynchronous rhythm are not welcome, Orca. Stillness is the move is okay.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Apr 20 2021

Eclectic and fun, horns and blues guitar and rap. Lyrics kinda meh.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Apr 30 2021

Queen but make it manic, maybe throw it into Rocky Horror.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
May 04 2021
Gris Gris by Dr. John
May 21 2021

Music to Manson Family to.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jun 18 2021

Good aughts vibes. I'd never listened all the way through.
