Popular Reviews

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt

The interpretive dance equivalent of music

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar

Transcendental. I have been conditioned to associate Indian music (the sitar) with transcendentalism thanks to movies and George Harrison

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper

Felt like a musical. The features are very noteworthy. Not the biggest fan of the vocals, but I loved the rest

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 15 2021

Weak 808 pop, might re-listen to two songs but I wouldn’t bet on it

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jan 16 2021

Definitely the 50s. I few fun riffs and a few slow jams

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jan 18 2021

Aptly titled. Soft and full of emotions, enjoyable ride.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 19 2021

Not the worst hair metal I’ve heard

Dog Man Star by Suede
Jan 20 2021

Oasis, but raised by an abusive mother. Nice drums, vocals, and guitar riffs

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jan 21 2021

Oooo mama. Starts strong but fades. Experimental and ahead of its time.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jan 22 2021

Unique vocals over pop-py tracks. I enjoyed the poetry but her voice is annoying YEEAAAAYEEAAAA BAAABAAYYYYY

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 23 2021

Minimalist experimental electronica. A few grooves, but I wouldn’t suggest listening sober.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jan 24 2021

Definitely not my favorite Neil album.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jan 27 2021

Too heavy for me. Although surprisingly mellow at points. Teetered on pop-punk at times, maybe pop-metal?

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jan 28 2021

Transcendental. I have been conditioned to associate Indian music (the sitar) with transcendentalism thanks to movies and George Harrison

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 29 2021

Not too heavy, couldn’t tell if it was more punk or hair metal. Pretty enjoyable

Feb 01 2021

Hippie pop. Similar to the stones. Enjoyed some songs. Had high expectations for the kinks.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Feb 02 2021

Pretty amateur and minimal musically, mostly driven by drums and high reverb synths. Some good songs throughout, but you can see how much Frank improved with Blonde

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 04 2021

Classic southern rock feel. Jam-band-esque. Good background noise

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Feb 05 2021

Felt like the soundtrack to a niche musical

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Feb 06 2021

Can’t upset the Manta-Ray! Classic dum-dum-dum-dum electric guitar, maybe started here? All i know is half of the songs sound like a douchebag’s motorcycle trying to start.

Tical by Method Man
Feb 07 2021

Very boring repetitive beats. Decent transfers between tracks. Sorry method man, not interested.

Abraxas by Santana
Feb 08 2021

OYE COMO VA! QUE LINDO!

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Feb 09 2021

Meh. Not great. Just immigrant song and tangerine.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Feb 10 2021

Sad, calming but beats felt robotic

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Feb 11 2021

Good melodies. I feel like they influenced future bands

Snivilisation by Orbital
Feb 12 2021

Early electronica. Not a fan

With The Beatles by Beatles
Feb 13 2021

Mostly love songs. Some hits. Still early in their careers before an album became a cohesive work. Not my favorite

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Feb 15 2021

What an eclectic combination of songs. I have no idea what I just listened to but well done.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 16 2021

Very smooth, incredible production. Thanks Brian.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 17 2021

Did not think it was good, at all. Not of fan of the quiet-vocal mixing.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Feb 19 2021

Soft, experimental, entertaining.

Is This It by The Strokes

One of the top debut albums by any band. So many hits

Feb 21 2021

Felt like a unique indie album

The Predator by Ice Cube
Feb 23 2021

Appropriately political. Pretty damn good. Great variety of beats.

Future Days by Can
Feb 24 2021

Way ahead of its time. Not for me but damn did they influence a generation of indie artists

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Feb 25 2021

Every song felt the same. Techno drum machine is repetitive. Probably influenced some 80s artists

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 26 2021

Just really well done. Full of stories

Homework by Daft Punk

Side A was 90% house. Side B was more unique.

The interpretive dance equivalent of music

Pretty minimalist. Felt like the only ones but softer

Mar 05 2021

Rio by Duran Duran

Oh the sounds of the 80s.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Mar 13 2021

Really enjoyed it. Felt like a theatre production

Mar 14 2021

Typical early 2000s indie. Sounds like a mixture of Bon Iver and of monsters of men
