The Last Broadcast

Doves

4/5

Solid album, didn't like really stand out for my tastes but perfectly neutral music, I feel like it would be hard for anyone to dislike this.

Iron Maiden

5/5

One of my favorite albums so far with plenty of songs I have added to my regular playlists. Prowler and Phantom of the Opera especially hit home with me.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

4/5

A wild album. Classical music flowing into rock, that suddenly opens up with extraterrestrial funk at times. But the construction of the album itself truly is solid.

Paul Simon

5/5

Very much enjoy some Paul Simon. Songs like Me and Julio down by the schoolyard is a classic. And a lot of these other songs were surprisingly nice.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

I mean shit, its the Beatles, and one of their most famous albums if not one of the THE most famous albums from any band or individual. Shit is pretty good with three or more classic hits.

Not particularly my jam most of the time, however if I were raging drunk I could fight God and or the British to this album with glee.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

Enjoy the classic/soft rock kinda vibes. Will definitely listen to this again.

Not my vibe at all tbh

Seventeen Seconds

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

Live albums are always a bit weird for me. But a vibe. Good for a studying.

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

2/5

Well it is certainly...interesting. The themes of nuclear war between Pakistan and India is clearly interesting but it is hard to get past some of the musical features to listen to this again.

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

2/5

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

Hard to pin down album. Some of it i vibed with. But didn’t stand out to me.

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

A lot of quiet acoustic guitar and that Springsteen grumble. Not too bad, but its hard to get excited by it. Definitely a downer rather than an upper.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

A classic album that is the quintessential Beach Boys album with that 60s vibe.

Paul Simon

5/5

Very much enjoy some Paul Simon. Songs like Me and Julio down by the schoolyard is a classic. And a lot of these other songs were surprisingly nice.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

5/5

A hella good album and one of the most legendary from Bowie, a lotta songs I listened to already and more that I will listen to now.

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

It’s not bad and Ice T is a classic. But I’ve enjoyed some of the other hip hop/rap I’ve gotten more

Paris 1919

John Cale

4/5

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

3/5

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

2/5

Gotta say, not a huge fan. I can get by some of the weird experimental sounds and vocals from some bands, but I had no clue what was happening.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Couldnt finish all of it but what I did listen to was a strange mixed bag. Gotta say the lyrics were uh. Kinda strange at times.

The Blueprint

JAY Z

3/5

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

Iron Maiden

5/5

One of my favorite albums so far with plenty of songs I have added to my regular playlists. Prowler and Phantom of the Opera especially hit home with me.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Album was pretty fire honestly, big fan of the Jamaican versions, especially of Concrete Jungle. Will listen to again for the vibes.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

4/5

This was a quality album, my brain has new elevator music to play when I'm zoning out now. Desafinado was especially good.

Le Tigre

4/5

Shit was popping ngl. Would fight god with Deceptacon playing in the background.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

I mean shit, its the Beatles, and one of their most famous albums if not one of the THE most famous albums from any band or individual. Shit is pretty good with three or more classic hits.

Siouxsie And The Banshees

2/5

Dirty

Sonic Youth

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Listening through the whole album made favorites of mine such as Heart of Glass and One Way or Another seem even better. Some other good songs too like Sunday Girl and Pretty Baby.

Snivilisation

Orbital

2/5

Eh very spacey, pretty strange, probably won't return to it.

Hysteria

Def Leppard

4/5

This is some good rock, Pour Some Sugar on Me? Banger, if not a little strange to play in public but a good song.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

3/5

Reminds me of like half of all Fallout music is like.

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

3/5

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

4/5

A wild album. Classical music flowing into rock, that suddenly opens up with extraterrestrial funk at times. But the construction of the album itself truly is solid.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

4/5

Nice mix of rock and folk, pretty short album, but Empty Pages and John Barleycorn are good songs.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

3/5

A funky mix of some jazz, psychedelic, soul, synth and of course rap.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

3/5

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

Well the Grateful Dead are great, but mostly as a live band, probably should've looked for a live version of this album, but oh well.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Me and the Major and Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying are probably my two favorite pieces. Feels like a pretty good late night album.

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

3/5

Honestly thought it was gonna be different based off of Take on Me coming from this album, but a lotta synth of course, very 80s

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

4/5

Da Capo

Love

2/5

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

4/5

What starts off as mostly jazzy instrumentals eventually blends in some soul and even some R/B which I gotta say, surprised me in a good way.

En-Tact

The Shamen

2/5

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

2/5

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

4/5

One of those albums that made me find a song I had heard a million times but never knew the name. So Jane Says is that song for me.

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

3/5

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

4/5

Loving the new wave/synth from this album. I have of course heard some Simple Minds. But not a ton. Now it’s time to look through more of their discography.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

5/5

Damn. This is a quality album that clearly shows off ZZ Top’s iconic style. A lot of great hits and a great overall album.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

4/5

A very dynamic album, switching up styles almost every song. Songs go from broody and sulking to angelic to Latin inspired, and more.

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

3/5

A clearly influential folk rock/psychedelic rock album it mostly centers on social issues, especially war. Good message, good album, maybe not quite my style of music however.

White Ladder

David Gray

4/5

This is clearly a good album, and damn popular. For people into the mellow acoustic sound this is great. I'm not totally into it, but i can appreciate it separately.

Van Halen

5/5

1999

Prince

5/5

Pretty much every song can be a banger, each exemplifying the funk that is Prince. Electronic elements, guitar, weird studio effects, and of course the lyrics from Prince himself. All of it lends to a great overall album with wonderful singles in it.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

2/5

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

It certainly makes sense how this album accelerated Michael Jackson to the stars as a solo artist. Its complex sound and catchy rhythms and baselines pair excellently with the incredible range of vocals from Jackson. I frequently listen to a lot of these songs from this album.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5
