Loveless by My Bloody Valentine

Definitely a noise pop type album with no singing really, just mumbles and moans. It's all very unpleasant to listen to. Has a very 90's sound, it has not aged well at all.

Teen Dream by Beach House

Sounds like every other pop album from the same era. Although it's mixed well and there is some quality to the craft, it is overall boring and repetitive.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys

There wasn't much to like about this one. Every song sounded the same and the singing wasn't even that good. It got very boring fast.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5

A great look at the transition from classic hip hop to early 2000's style. Very solid.

Heroes by David Bowie
May 21 2021

Starting off as a typical Bowie rock album, I did not expect the later instrumentals at all. The slow transition from rock to Japanese-influenced melodies was an amazing experience. Only downside is the songs are a bit stretched out and repetitive.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
May 22 2021

There wasn't much to like about this one. Every song sounded the same and the singing wasn't even that good. It got very boring fast.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
May 23 2021

Overall a very bland, stereotypical electronic album. Not much stuck out. Very forgetful.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
May 24 2021

Very unexpected, kind of folk-esque psychedelic but with heavy African and Asian influence. This probably would have worked better as an instrumental album, but overall very nice.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
May 25 2021

Solid acoustic album. Not exactly my type of music, but it is very well made. Leans more folk/country than rock.

May 26 2021

Exceptional album. In the context of its time, this was a very shocking, hardcore statement. One of the most essential hip hop records.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
May 27 2021

Definitely a noise pop type album with no singing really, just mumbles and moans. It's all very unpleasant to listen to. Has a very 90's sound, it has not aged well at all.

May 28 2021

Surprisingly, this is a really good album. Pop is generally boring and repetitive, but this was just enough of an outlier to feel new but familiar enough to not be annoying.

Bossanova by Pixies
May 30 2021

Great album. Has a great 90's rock feel but still holds up over time.

May 31 2021

This is an unusual one. Over 40 songs, but none of them are longer than 3 minutes. In fact every other song is just instrumentals; it may come off as a bit choppy, but overall a very good experience.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jun 01 2021

Sounds like every other pop album from the same era. Although it's mixed well and there is some quality to the craft, it is overall boring and repetitive.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jun 02 2021

Pretty good punk sound. Surprisingly explicit for the time, which is fine but it's just surprising. The flow does break down into screaming and yelling at times, which is a bit of a turn off.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jun 03 2021

Sounds a bit like Scooby Doo chase music from the mid 90's, and that's more than fine.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jun 05 2021

Great album of the era. Not really a bad song on the record, strongly recommend to anyone remotely interested in classic rock.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jun 06 2021

Another great classic rock album, you can't get much better than this.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Jun 08 2021

I wasn't very in to it, but fans of country could enjoy this somewhat.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jun 09 2021

A great look at the transition from classic hip hop to early 2000's style. Very solid.
