Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

I don’t have anything smart to say, for whatever reason I had never really listening to Dave Brubeck before this and I definitely need to spend more time checking his music out cuz this was great.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

A classic, defining album in hip hop history. One of the first mainstream albums that lead us to hip hop as we know it today. Wonderful MCs with masterful production from two of the best to ever do it.

R.E.M.

4/5

Wasn’t super into it at first, but really liked it by the end.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

A great expression of free jazz, the emotion and passion that Mingus gets into his albums is almost unrivaled to me.

Michael Jackson’s best album, the funk, the groove, is truly incredible. Set the tone for music going forward.

A pretty cool fusion album, some weird parts but overall really enjoyed it.

The Clash

5/5

Punk music done right, I wanna be in a grimy venue drinking a PBR tower.

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

3/5

It’s good for what it it, just not my cup of tea.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

I don’t have a ton to say about this one, probably should have paid closer attention to it, but a good listen, wouldn’t mind coming back to it.

Pelican West

Haircut 100

4/5

This has some damn good funk and groove to it. The kind of music you can just chill to and have a damn good time.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

Came in with very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. His band sounded really good and his vocals matched the tone of the songs quite well.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Fine for what it is, got bored, everything kinda sounded the same

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

Wowza what an album, never really listened to the Beatles before this and holy cats am I dumb

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

What’s not to like. Looped samples, ensemble of MCs, punchy drums, and tasteful flourishes from the DJs. I mean, how many hip hop songs have a god damn flute?!

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

4/5

Not really my thing but it was good.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Quality 90s hip hop, smooth beats, nice flows, not a classic in my mind, probably not their best album even, but still a good listen.

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

I don’t have a lot to say about this, don’t know enough about the genre or The Pixies but this album is great.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

Nice album, cool beats and baselines, beautiful singing.

I Against I

Bad Brains

3/5

Not my kind of music.

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

It’s fine, not a lot to say

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

5/5

A classic album by one of the greats, I’ve never taken the time to really dig into Coltrane’s work but his talent and accomplishments are undeniable.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

2/5

Oof.

Sea Change

Beck

3/5

It was fine, I’m guessing/hoping there are better Beck albums

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

4/5

Pretty cool, worth another closer listen

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

I really enjoyed this album, but I have really mixed feelings about this genre. I don’t like the vocal style, it’s just weird to me. On the other hand, the layers to the music is incredible, for being “pop” music there are a good amount of complex rhythms, instrumentation, and chords.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

5/5

This album is great, all around fantastic.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

This was pretty sweet, another legend I’ve never really listened to and definitely should have before now.

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

3/5

Just a jam album, not fantastic but not bad, probably shouldn’t be sober to fully enjoy this album.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

4/5

What’s not to like, just some easy listening that sounds great.

Risque

CHIC

5/5

Oh man, funk and groove galore, I loved this album.

The Stooges

4/5

Pretty solid, not a lot to say about it.

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

This album was super mainstream but I low key love it, maybe one song I’d skip on the whole thing.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

I don’t have anything smart to say, for whatever reason I had never really listening to Dave Brubeck before this and I definitely need to spend more time checking his music out cuz this was great.

Melodrama

I didn’t really like this album, can’t really pinpoint why.

Way ahead of its time, fantastic album.

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

4/5

I liked the music a lot, did not like his voice.

Odelay

Beck

Don’t have much to say again but I liked this album a lot, a lot better than the first beck album we had.

Depeche Mode

2/5

Not a fan.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

I understand the appeal but I really didn’t enjoy this

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

I dug this album. Nice short songs, kinda punk/indie/emo ish.

The Cars

4/5

Holy cats, so many singles. I didn’t expect to like this album as much as I did. I’m still surprised at how thoughtful the music itself was of pop music from this era, far more interesting than contemporary pop music.

Close To You

Carpenters

5/5

Oh man I loved this album, such beautiful chords and harmonies.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

5/5

My favorite Scott Walker album, love every song on this album. The flamenco-esque influences on some songs are dope, nice and upbeat, just fantastic.

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

So many of these songs sounded so similar, got bored, not a fan
