Popular Reviews

Great songwriting and I love the minimal guitar tones; usually clean with a tad bit of chorus. Regional melody influences give a real sense of "folk". May have to add this to the rotation.

Violator by Depeche Mode
May 07 2021

Cool synth sounds and an iconic voice. I didn't realize this record didn't release in the 80s. Definitely, some tracks that are part of my musical consciousness, but I doubt I would get super into the rest of the catalog.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
May 10 2021

Great songs. I never appreciated how complete of an album this is. Added to my list of vinyl to look for.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
May 12 2021

Nope. Not for me. I can see how this is influential on lots of artists and genres, but I personally need a little more structure and prefer lyrics.

Illmatic by Nas
May 13 2021

Nas is a legend.

On The Beach by Neil Young
May 17 2021

First track is groove right off the bat. Whole album is just a vibe. I will be coming back to this one.

Technique by New Order
May 18 2021

Not my jam, but again I can see how it influence tons of artist that I love. So much chorus on guitar lines. I like the doubled vocals.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
May 20 2021

I mean, come on. It's a vibe. I read on Wikipedia that some of the album contained tracks that were never played in the studio, but were spliced together from tapes and loops. God bless the person who did all of that splicing in 1970.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
May 21 2021

Yeah. Not bad. Some cool tunes. Not likely to come back to this one.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
May 25 2021

Definitely some cool vibes. I would listen to again while working, but won't crank it in the car with the windows down.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
May 31 2021

Generally vibey and I had no idea this record is from the early 80's. I always assumed they were a mid 90's band.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jun 09 2021

LEGEND STATUS This album has it all - riffs, thoughtful lyrics, grooves, and a unique flavor.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jun 10 2021

This surprise me. The production on this album is incredible. Silky smooth, but dancey at the same time. Total vibes.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jun 14 2021

Prince is a legend, and this album is legendary. A personal fav.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jun 15 2021

Dolly is always great. Such a special voice and songwriter. I was surprised by the bass work on these tracks. Just solid gold.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jun 16 2021

My personal rating just a reflection of my enjoyment of this style of music. The sampling and production is definitely amazing, especially considering the type of technology available when this record was made.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Dec 08 2023

Great record with an eclectic mix of songs and sounds. I had no idea this was the same band behind \"I'm Not in Love\" and \"The Things We Do for Love\"

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Dec 11 2023

5 stars. No notes.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Dec 12 2023

Bowie has a such an iconic voice and when he's leaning into more pop/dance structures I really love it. But there's a lot that I just don't enjoy listening too when it comes to most of the songs and lyrical delivery.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Dec 14 2023

5 stars. No notes. In my opinion, this is not a hip-hop album. To Pimp a Butterfly is a jazz album.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Dec 15 2023

Not bad, but not super memorable. It's a vibe that only Jack White has. I'll probably put it in the rotation, but only as background.

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 18 2023
