Nixon by Lambchop

I get excited when I see a short album with only 10 songs. But each song averaging around 5:30min kills that excitement almost immediately. So far every song sounds like it could be used as an intro song in a Netflix/Amazon Prime/HBO Max/AppleTV Drama Series Honestly, very boring

Signing Off by UB40

this is easily the worst album on this entire website. It's too long and there's nothing interesting about it, just bad reggae, but I don't even know if it's reggae, it's too hard to tell couldn't finish the back half

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Aug 11 2021

Way more sad than I thought

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Aug 12 2021

pretty sure persona 5 stole concepts from this album And mario sunshine??

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Aug 13 2021

It's long and honestly not great. Reminds me of songs I would hear in the original TMNT movies, but not the good ones. Like the classic early 80's songs. Couldn't finish it

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Aug 16 2021

really good comic book reading album. Will probably look it up later to read to Might create a jurassic park to this album

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Aug 19 2021

slow start but the back half is like a better Beatles Not much singing, more of an atmospheric album. Very much what you expect with the album cover oops, had it on shuffle, oddly reminiscent of resident evil

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Aug 20 2021

No idea what they're saying, but I can tell they're having fun Great beats but there's a chance that what they're saying could be problematic, but I can't tell what they're saying

Close To You by Carpenters
Aug 25 2021

reminds me of the jetsons Did they make a song for Willy Wonka? They did the "shalalala" thing from Hercules in Baby It's You

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Aug 26 2021

classic yeezy, but not the yeezy I first heard how the hell does he have a 12 minute outro?!

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Aug 27 2021

it's good sounds like explicit versions of the beats that play in the knuckles and rouge levels in sonic adventures battle 2 DX Could totally imagine every song as the theme for Shadow the Hedgehog, straight 90's

Street Life by The Crusaders
Aug 30 2021

11 minute jazz intro? Let's get it "Street Life" is some solid Funk Notes of sonic adventure casino in the rest of the album Okay definitely gets into smooth slow jazz by the end of the album

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Sep 01 2021

listened right through it very generic but not bad. I didn't feel the need to stop listening

John Prine by John Prine
Sep 03 2021

I really didn't want to finish this album I feel like this is the punishment for not listening yesterday Just pure old school country Didn't want to finish, it's too long

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 06 2021

no thoughts, just credence clearwater, pretty nifty

Arise by Sepultura
Sep 08 2021

Album art is a really good representation of what you'll get with this album. All the songs seem to blend together and I think that's the point. Solid metal, but not entirely for me

Sep 09 2021

very classic Ray Charles. Loved that the album is actually like a vinyl and has two "sides" Wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it again, it's slow, but it's very good

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Sep 13 2021

funky, I'm jamming better than most of the other albums I've listened to, and I don't even know what they're saying in this one Didn't realize it finished

Sep 14 2021

starts strong with some iconic tracks, doesn't get lazy in the back half, stays strong the whole way through. Probably helps each track is led by 1 to 2 different MC's Express yourself is a great Dr. Dre track Does suffer what most hispanic music suffers from: It's essentially the same beat the whole way through with the same tempo, not much switching in between tracks If it wasn't for nostalgia, I probably wouldn't listen to this again though

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Sep 15 2021

just really whatever early rock. It's not really that great not bad background music I guess, but it goes on forever Sort of sucked, didn't enjoy any of it, but at least got through it all

Tical by Method Man
Sep 16 2021

great beats and his flow is top notch he has a way better switch of tempo compared to N.W.A. from earlier this week Probably one of the only 5 star albums where I won't add a song from it, but I can respect that this is a bomb album

Sep 17 2021

so far very good, definitely a solid 4. The main singer adds a lot to the beats, his voice is super unique oh shit that's kurt cobain I can completely understand if someone said Nirvana was their favorite band, they're great Back half is definitely slower than the first half, probably would have helped to be more upbeat

The Cars by The Cars
Sep 27 2021

finally a regular classic rock album Good classic songs, but "I'm in touch with your world" is odd and not that great Sorta flew by fast, was a short album but it really did have some hits in there

Sep 28 2021

hell yeah, haven't even listened to it yet and I know it's 5 star because I have two songs already in my liked songs from this album The last free bird was sad though because the guitarist just gives up right at the beginning It actually was like a 3 out of 5, solid classic songs in there, but the rest are mediocre. I'll give it a 4 out of 5 for freebird

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Sep 29 2021

Busta rhymes doesn't actually bust any rhymes in that intro contrary to popular belief it's weird but through albums in this time period I can really see where Sonic Adventures Battle 2 DX got it's soundtrack, especially the Knuckles and Rouges sections. This just sounds like the Rouge levels but with lyrics Does sound a bit like Persona 4's style of music It was alright, sort of generic, but didn't hate it, probs a 3 star

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Sep 30 2021

some solid classics and these guys have great voices. Very stereotypical 80's, makes me miss GLOW worried I might not remember these guys when I want to listen to just 80's because this is a solid album. Def 4 out of 5
