Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 21 2021

I've never really listened to Hendrix beyond what you hear in movies/pop culture/the few songs that get radio airtime. Almost every track feels like it's about 4 hours long, some interesting musical progression, but largely it feels like a product of its time, maybe it's the Seinfeld effect in that I've heard so much of what Hendrix influenced, that this now doesn't fit where it should in the history of rock/music. I can understand the love people have for this, but maybe it's beyond my smooth monkey brain.

Fragile by Yes
Jul 22 2021

Feels like somewhere between 4 and 10 people randomly made noise and called it art. Did not enjoy at all.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jul 23 2021

I was pretty bored of the easy listening grunge this album presented, but it kicked into a more enjoyable tempo with Electioneering. oh no I spoke too soon easy listening grunge is back. The 2nd half of the album was more enjoyable than the first, maybe you just need to be in the right frame of mind for some of the softer spoken songs, but I think I prefer my anger to be a bit more upfront.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jul 26 2021

Starts strong with a classic banger, but then sort of tappers into being very forgettable

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jul 27 2021

Liked the title track, everything else was eh

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 29 2021

Is it controversial to say Hendrix isn't a great singer even if his guitar slaps?

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 30 2021

Heroes is obviously an absolute classic banger, the rest of the songs were good, but the instrumental stuff lost me entirely.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Aug 02 2021
Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Aug 03 2021

Pretty great track list, but I did some reading on JLL, and oh boy I just don't know lmao

Mask by Bauhaus
Aug 05 2021

no strong opinions from me

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Aug 06 2021

Once in a Lifetime saves this album from mediocrity

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Aug 09 2021

Maybe when it was new it was more impressive, but the whole thing blurs into a generic mess for me.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Aug 10 2021

Maybe it was unique at the time, but now it's just generic 80s

Aug 13 2021

Fairly pleasant to listen too, even if not overly memorable. John Barleycorn was the standout track for me

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Aug 17 2021

I got bored towards the end and stopped listening, maybe I missed out on greatness but I doubt it

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Aug 18 2021

That sure was a rolling stones album, I only just listened to it and I can't remember a single track, but it was fine while it was on.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Aug 19 2021

That sure was a beach boys album. Far too cheerful for me at the moment lol

Doolittle by Pixies
Aug 20 2021

Finally some good fucking music

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Aug 24 2021

Scooby Snacks is a banger, the rest was fine, but I love that track so I'm giving a 4 anyway lol

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Aug 25 2021

The cadence and tone of this singers voice removed any possible enjoyment from this.

The Specials by The Specials
Aug 31 2021

No thanks, I can 100% say this will never get listened to again

British Steel by Judas Priest
Sep 01 2021

Couple of great tracks, many very average ones.
