Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.

Finally a non-rock album, feels like I've been waiting so long. This shit is classic, every song on here is catchy af. This is the kinda shit I was waiting for.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival

The music's not objectively bad but there's something about this band that doesn't sit right with me, I don't know what it is.

Elastica by Elastica

Couldn't really get into this. As much as I've tried, I don't think punk rock is for me.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 13 2021

Classic Rolling Stones, as classic as classic rock can get.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 14 2021

Started out a little weak but got progressively stronger with each song. I like the synth-heavy rock style that they got going on.

Harvest by Neil Young
Jan 15 2021

Some nice folk/country vibes. The inclusion of orchestral instruments in a couple songs was a nice touch. Old Man is catchy af.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jan 18 2021

As much as I like David Bowie, this album started out a little weak. The last couple of songs were great tho, Stay is funky af, and Wild Is the Wind is classic Bowie.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 19 2021
Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jan 20 2021

I think Ameen's hatred of Led Zeppelin's poisoned me. Even then It's still a good album, you can see how so many other bands were inspired by them. The instrumentals are super impressive and super catchy.

Jan 21 2021

Pretty good folk/country album. Not sure if it's something I'd listen to on the regular but I like the instrumentation and the mastering.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jan 22 2021

Very chill album. Started with a sorta Sinatra/Peter Cat Recording Co. style of jazzy, later transitioned to folk/county. Starting to notice a theme with this site.

Queen II by Queen
Jan 25 2021

It's Queen lol. Not their best album imo, A Night At The Opera tops it by a mile. Does that make me basic? Probably, but I stand by it. March of the Black Queen is really good tho.

The Cars by The Cars
Jan 26 2021

Pretty generic classic rock, didn't feel like there was anything super special about it.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Jan 27 2021

Was hoping I wouldn't get a rock album for once. It's clearly more lyrics focused, they're very straightforward and to the point. This is definitely one of those albums written to get some shit off the artist's chest, no filter and no bullshit. The instrumentation is a little weak and generic though, which is something I look for first before I even listen to the lyrics. That being said I can see myself being in the mood for this kind of aesthetic.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 28 2021

Kind of a meh album. Instrumentation can be interesting, the vocalist's voice is a little annoying. HOWEVER the drum solo in Lipstick Vogue is great

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.

No Other by Gene Clark
Feb 02 2021

Pretty good folk/prog rock mix, I like it a lot.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Feb 03 2021

It's like if Avenged Sevenfold was an 80s british rock band and wrote The Wall. 4 stars.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 04 2021

Unexpectedly chill, thought it would be another punk rock album from the album cover. Pretty mellow and melancholy. I can see myself being in the mood for this.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Feb 05 2021

This felt like a much more interesting punk rock album than the ones I've heard previously. Plan 9 Channel 7 reminds me Pigs by Pink Floyd, maybe cus it's in the same key but it really got me.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 08 2021

The music's not objectively bad but there's something about this band that doesn't sit right with me, I don't know what it is.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Feb 09 2021

Not much I can say about this besides "it's Talking Heads", that is to say it's pretty good.

Tago Mago by Can
Feb 10 2021

This is really scratching the prog rock itch, I really like it. Super groovy.

White Ladder by David Gray
Feb 11 2021

Pretty chill soft rock, instrumentation leaves something to be desired but his voice is kinda soothing.

Wild Gift by X
Feb 12 2021

Something you'd hear playing a little too loud in a bar out in the hipster part of the city. Pretty middling.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Feb 15 2021

I'm noticing a lot of these albums start out kinda weak but then get a lot better with each song. This is one of those albums.

Synchronicity by The Police
Feb 18 2021

It's The Police so it's bound to be good in some capacity.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Feb 23 2021

Something I'd listen to walking down the street on a sunny summer's day. Definitely a vibe. If I was there I would've given it a 4 but unfortunately it's winter time right now so it's a 3 from me.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jan 04 2024

I'm normally the biggest synth pop and new wave defender. There's some catchy songs here but on the first listen through this one felt kinda...bland? Songs are kinda repetitive and the album as a whole just goes on for a little too long.
