Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

Not my taste but I guess I see the appeal? Very eclectic mix, lots of wordless singing, not my jam.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jan 19 2021

Pretty good, would listen to it again. Good for working to, also. Going to start ranking a pretty good as 4 stars, might down grade it to 3 if need be.

White Ladder by David Gray
Jan 21 2021

Not bad, pretty chill overall but the guy has a big of a Neil Young Voice and the songs are a little long.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Jan 24 2021

Not my taste but I guess I see the appeal? Very eclectic mix, lots of wordless singing, not my jam.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jan 25 2021

Pretty good! Noir soundtrack with some contemporary sounds at points, worth listening to again for sure.

Technique by New Order
Jan 26 2021

Everything about 80's music I don't love, plus some weird sound effects (literally goats). A few decent techno/electronic parts but not enough.

Hotel California by Eagles
Jan 27 2021

Actually pretty good overall, but the weakest song is the second and right after the title track so it feels like it drops sharply. Life in the Fast Lane was pretty good, hadn't heard that before.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Jan 28 2021

Not especially memorable, guy has a weird voice and it sits strangely between country and folk for me but I guess I didn't dislike hearing it.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jan 29 2021

Okay, not amazing but decent I guess light rock? I know some people love Rush and I don't get that from this but it's compotent.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 31 2021

Pretty classic-sounding rock, to me at least. Somewhat grungy, I guess, if I had to get specific. If I was craving music like that I would like it, and I can see how it could be cathartic.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Feb 01 2021

A lot of variety and the more relaxed parts weren't bad, but there were some emo-y parts that were pretty unpleasant. Closer to a two than a four for sure.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Feb 02 2021

Pretty good, I really liked Just Good Friends which I hadn't heard before, and I was impressed by the Spanish and French versions of I Just Can't Stop Loving You. Some of the more recent collaborations and remixes were a little silly but they were at least interesting. Didn't love some like Liberian Girl but overall I liked it.

Da Capo by Love
Feb 03 2021

Not bad, sort of a rocky jazzy bluesy thing with a pretty varied sound. The last song was half the album which was weird and it went on for awhile but in general it was a pretty relaxed album.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Feb 04 2021

Liked this much more than I expected, I didn't realize what a smooth sound these guys have, much less abrasive then I expected. Goes to show you don't know what you think you do sometimes. Might return to it again in the future.

Blur by Blur
Feb 05 2021

Not too remarkable, kind of a nice progy rocky thing I guess? Probably using that wrong. Funny that I recognized Song 2 (actual song name) almost immediately though, never knew the name.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Feb 06 2021

I guess this would be considered rockabilly? If so then I think I like it! Reminds me of the Four Seasons a little.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Feb 07 2021

Decent variety between rowdier stuff and sweet, quieter stuff, but overall too country for my taste. Plus a song or two for a little gross.
