White Blood Cells
The White Stripes
Easy to listen to. I don't think the sound offers much depth. It feels too wannabe outsider which drags the album down ('Offend In Every Way'). The singing is generally not for me. The problem is that he's trying too hard to be quirky and different ('I Think I Smell a Rat'). The album does have its highlights though. The first three tracks were interesting and made me excited to see what else was coming up, which ended up not being too much... The middle of the album is simply boring. The album picks up steam near the end with 'I Can't Wait', 'Now Mary' and 'I Can Learn'.
Tl;dr: The beginning and the end is good, but the middle is bland.

Blue
Joni Mitchell
The album is a close personal acoustic album which showcases the best of Joni's writing and singing. The album doesn't have any weak tracks which could be considered filler, and it stays intriguing throughout

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg
Jerry Lee Lewis
Jerry Lee Lewis fires on all cylinders on this live recording. I've never heard any of his stuff, but this made me want to. Absolutely intense and high power playing that makes you want to move and makes you feel like you're there. The album is short which is good, because the album does start to feel a bit repetitive near the end. Overall it's a good album that I will listen to again.

Siembra
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
A festive and playful salsa album. I don't listen to salsa music and I wasn't disappointed with the album. It's easy listening and I unfortunately found myself skipping to the meat of songs near the end of the album. It might be because I don't speak Spanish or have no previous exposure to the genre, but I didn't have the patience for some tracks to play out all the way. Not a bad album though. I might return to it.

Queen II
Queen
A fiery and dramatic record. Queen showcase both wit and hard-rock on this album. Not every track feels meaningful though. But the tracks that hit the mark do so effortlessly. Great album that I will check out again.

Toys In The Attic
Aerosmith
Cool album! Every track feels unique and special. I'd previously only heard Aerosmiths hits, but that should include this entire album. The only weakness I feel the album has is the opening title track. It feels a little uninspired imo. Otherwise a VERY solid release.

Either Or
Elliott Smith
I'm not a guy who pays close attention to lyrics when first listening to an album which seems to be where most people praise Elliott Smith. I think it's an okay album. Not one I'll be listening to all the way through though. Some tracks have some interesting instrumental qualities but most don't. I can see the appeal in Elliott's voice, but it's not for me. Overall it just feels too boring... This album lands on the lower end of the spectrum for me.

The Idiot
Iggy Pop
One of my absolute favorite albums ever. Loose, cool and experimental is what Iggy Pop and David Bowie managed to make this album. Iggy's lines delivered with a punk-ish attitude surrounded by pulsating synths and distorted instruments make everything feel intense and wicked. Absolutely amazing

Welcome To The Pleasuredome
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
A very basic 80's synth-pop album. The album sounds very much the same all over. It's either the band trying to get emotional with some slowpaced love ballad or It's a faster paced synth track. Not enough variety.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Powerful and sentimental. This has by far become my favorite Nick Cave project. The choir, the strings, Nicks singing, the perfect playing, everything works so well to creature this dramatical and emotional piece. Highy recommended!

Court And Spark
Joni Mitchell
2nd Joni Mitchell album I've gotten and this one is a lot more happy and energetic than Blue. Although this album doesn't feel as emotionally intense as Blue, I still enjoyed nearly as much. This album feels exciting and fresh but that can also be its biggest weakness. Sometimes it can feel a little too grandiose. Aside from that, if I had friends over and had to choose a Joni album to put on, it would be this one. Great album!

Animated Pixies-esque singing and emotional playing. This album sometimes rides the grunge wave, but when it does, it does so creatively and refreshingly. It blends personal and meaningfull with fun and lightheartedness. Very nice album that I will definitely check out again.

LP1
FKA twigs
Soft sung vocals with glitchy instrumentals. Initial thoughts are that I've heard this before? It sounds like the concept behind every female singer songwriter today, and the execution is the exact same... Everything on this album just blends together and it becomes a bland mess. These sorts of vocals also just make me cringe. Find a female "singer" on TikTok and there's a 95% chance that she sings like this. Whispery and whiny without an ounce of power. The instrumentals, the singing, the production, everything works together to make this album feel as uninspired and boring as possible. It really feels like the album has been plucked from the "music industry conveyor belt" and still has that mass-production smell (it might not be mass-produced, but that's how it feels). I feel like I've heard all of these songs before. I truly can't hear anything unique about this sound. The album would maybe work better if it tried to be less athereal and more punchy and groundbased? But yeah It's a solid No from me...
I just noticed that the album has stopped playing and I didn't realize. Perfect background music lol.

Back To Black
Amy Winehouse
Overrated. Her voice doesn't sit quite right with me. The horns also don't feel real? It's not free enough imo. I bet this album would be better if it was recorded with a live setup instead of a studio.

This came out in 1972?! WAAAY ahead of it's time musically. Switching between playful and riffing rock songs effortlesly. I was expecting some boring prog album based on the album cover, but I couldn't have been more wrong. This album was an amazing experience
