xx by The xx
Jan 14 2021

Better than I expected. Good for a rainy day

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jan 15 2021

Some real fun guitar/riffs. Makes me want to pick up an electric. Pump up music that is very 2001

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Jan 17 2021

I like the skits, they made me laugh.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 18 2021

Yes, a classic

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 19 2021

Pat Benatar, but punk

I'm reminded of that old man in Love Actually who is trying to get the #1 Christmas hit. I just don't think it's for me.

Suicide by Suicide
Jan 21 2021

Started strong. Some cool synth-y stuff. Got a little too modern art-y for me. Felt like I was in a cement gallery with urban street art that everyone understood and I didn't. Big no for the screams on 'Frankie Teardrop'

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jan 22 2021

Fine? Good even? Nothing special that stood out for me

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jan 23 2021

Very late 80s. I feel like if they were a bit more melodic, they could have easily been on iconic 80s movies soundtracks. Some fun bops but none help my attention.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 25 2021

Very good. Very 80s. Lots of hits, sometimes sounds similar but overall lots of bops.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jan 26 2021

Rock music but with a sitar. The second half of the album you could very well get completely lost in if you were in the right headspace *wink wink*

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jan 27 2021

A classic rock album you can't go wrong with

Jan 28 2021

Didn't do much for me. Title track slaps. Neat to hear where "RTJ" comes from. The beats sound like they would be background beats for every alt 90s/early00s tv show/movie. In other words, I bet Spike Lee loves this album

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jan 30 2021

Listen. I love some of these bops. Big Def Lep fan, but sometimes it's too much and they're not all hits alright? The hits are 5/5 but I can justify giving this album a 5 or even a 4.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Feb 02 2021

The White Stripes meets Sgt Pepper. Too punky for me but kinda fun, some dark carnival vibes

Rio by Duran Duran
Feb 03 2021

Very good. Very 80s. Lots of hits, sometimes sounds similar but overall lots of bops.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 06 2021

Great bass. Great guitar. RATM vibez at times. The guitar riffs really make the album though. Idk what pedals they're using but it's FUN.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Feb 07 2021

I'll be honest, I skipped some songs. Technically I did start them all though. But it's a lot and whiny so 👎 objectively not bad though.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Feb 08 2021

Enya meets Phantom of the Opera. Very poetic, but not in the way I like. Jazzy showtimes was the vibe I got, and then I read she started in Chicago. It's all making sense. Talent but not what I'm into

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 09 2021

3.75, thought about rounding up to a 4 but couldn't bring myself to do it. Very cool, ethereal and spooky but steady tempos and big bangs.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Feb 10 2021

Do ya like jazz? And afrofunk? This be for you then

Close To You by Carpenters
Feb 14 2021

Many moments where I thought this was a musical soundtrack. Think Grease but most songs are soppy and sentimental. Not necessarily a bad thing, but thems the vibes. I also didn't know they had so many classics (Help, They Long To Be Close to You, I'll Never Fall In Love Again

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Feb 16 2021

Actually some great jams. Very b82s, or I guess very GoGos, don't know what came first. Some classics on this album, will listen again when in the mood for 80s pop

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Feb 27 2021

Easy listenin'. Lots of harmonica, makes me feel like I could jam these songs on a porch with me friends on a summer night. I mean I can't, because I'm not the Beatles, but seems the most accessable of their albums. Also only 35min!
