Boring as hell. 3-4/10

Awful. 2/10

Mar 04 2021

Too long and gets a little samey but I like the general sound and funk. 7/10

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield

Favorite Kanye West album. 7-8/10 1. Never Let Me Down 2. Slow Jamz 3. Through the Wire

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 20 2021

Very good. Still prefer the debut and Electric Ladyland. 8/10 1. Little Wing 2. Castles Made of Sand 3. Spanish Castle Magic

The La's by The La's
Apr 26 2022

Meh. 5/10

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
May 19 2022

It's a thrash classic for a reason. 7-8/10

May 23 2022

Didn't click with me as strongly as Hounds of Love. Still pretty good. Might need a few more listens. 6/10

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
May 30 2022

Fun House by The Stooges
Jun 04 2022

Insane record. Amazing like all of the (original) Stooges catalogue. 9-10/10

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jun 09 2022

Cool. 6/10

Doolittle by Pixies
Jun 13 2022

A masterpiece. One of the albums that definitely changed my view on rock music. Definitely one of my top 10 albums of all time. If you don't like (or at least appreciate) this album, we probably don't share music tastes. 10/10

Jun 14 2022

It's kinda fun but also grating. 6/10

Superunknown by Soundgarden

Atomizer by Big Black
Jun 16 2022

Cool. Some absolutely insane guitar sounds. Also kinda annoying. 6-7/10

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings

Jul 02 2022

Jan 12 2023

Very good Britpop album. A smidge too long. Not as good as His 'n' Hers. 7-8/10

Jan 16 2023

Cool album but too long. Probably my least favorite of the "classic" Can albums. 6/10

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jul 05 2023

Pretty nice pleasant record. 7/10

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Jul 13 2023

Their best new wave album. Doesn't compare to Spirit of Eden or Laughing Stock though. Pretty good. 7/10

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 27 2023

It's alright. Great voice. 6/10
