4/5

This was pretty much new to me but I really enjoyed it.

WORRY

Jeff Rosenstock · 1 likes

5/5

This is such an amazing album. Probably Rosenstock's best and probably my favorite album to come out in the last 10 years. Ah crap, it's just about 10 years old now!

A Day At The Races

Queen · 1 likes

3/5

Queen somehow has some of the most amazing songs ever recorded while simultaneously having some of the most meh albums of all time. There is always at least one and usually two or three great songs on an album and the rest of it is just fine. Somebody is great, the rest of the album? It's okay.

RENAISSANCE

Beyoncé · 1 likes

2/5

I recognize she can sing. But I didn't care or get moved or even interested in any song on this album. It completely faded into the background as I was listening.

Phantom Power

The Tragically Hip · 1 likes

4/5

I liked this. Seemed like good rock music.

Nearer My God

Foxing

3/5

Pretty meh indie rock. I mean, I liked it fine, but forgot about it after listening.

Romance

Fontaines D.C.

4/5

This wasn't bad at all. I'm not up too much on current music, so I didn't really know this band, but I'd listen to this again.

Thank Christ for the Bomb

The Groundhogs

4/5

Completely new to me, but actually pretty good. The album I listened to had a completely unneeded 15 minute version of Soldier at the end, but without that, it's a better album.

People Watching

Sam Fender

3/5

I thought this started pretty strong, but went downhill the more I listened. Never got bad, but got completely forgettable.

I Need to Start a Garden

Haley Heynderickx

4/5

Never heard of this one before and really enjoyed her voice and listening to this indie/folk thing.

Grace And Danger

John Martyn

2/5

I think I liked this one the least of the three I've heard (two on the original list now this one.) Just didn't do it for me at all.

Pulse

Pink Floyd

3/5

I really liked the Pink Floyd we listened to in the main list. It was excellent. But I didn't get anything out of this album I didn't get from the studio ones.

RENAISSANCE

Beyoncé

2/5

I recognize she can sing. But I didn't care or get moved or even interested in any song on this album. It completely faded into the background as I was listening.

Blue Is The Colour

The Beautiful South

3/5

Alt-folk stuff, a genre I tend to like, but this one was a little all over the place. Not sure I needed a Tom Waits knockoff on the one song. I didn't hate it, but didn't love it.

Deltron 3030

2/5

It starts off interesting and sort of funny. But then it never varies up, at all, and continues to be the exact same thing for over an hour.

Boxer

The National

4/5

I like this album and it's probably the National's best. I'll listen again.

Geogaddi

Boards of Canada

2/5

Just like the Boards of Canada album in the main list, I forgot I was listening to it at one point.

Magnolia Electric Co.

Songs: Ohia

4/5

I'm a little torn on this one. I think it's pretty good, and would be a solid 4 if it wasn't for The Old Black Hen. I think I'll leave it as 4, but a little bit reluctantly.

Slip

Quicksand

4/5

Pretty good post-hardcore emo-ish thing. Enjoyed it and will listen again.

California

Mr. Bungle

2/5

There's some interesting stuff in here, that's for sure. But at no point did I enjoy it.

Daisies Of The Galaxy

Eels

5/5

This is the album I would've picked for the main list. I love this album.

A Day At The Races

Queen

3/5

John Dawson Winter III

Johnny Winter

3/5

I liked some of it, some of it I didn't like. Good blues rock on a lot of the tracks. Probably a 3.5 but that one song that felt like a joke of a country song brings it down.

Nia

Blackalicious

3/5

It's way too long. But it wasn't the worst of this type of music I've had to listen to.

Emotional Mugger

Ty Segall

4/5

Lots of noisy/chunky guitar and I dug it.

Exile On Coldharbour Lane

Alabama 3

3/5

Listening to a mix of country and electronica was not what I was expecting when I woke up. Didn't hate it, but didn't love it, either.

Fine Line

Harry Styles

3/5

It's fine, inoffensive, pop. My daughter enjoyed listening to it in the car.

Phantom Power

The Tragically Hip

4/5

I liked this. Seemed like good rock music.

La cagaste... Burt Lancaster

Hombres G

2/5

This wasn't really for me. Some of it might've been a little bit interesting but it faded into the background so fast I forgot I was listening to it.

Year of the Cat

Al Stewart

4/5

I really dug this for some reason. I think I've heard it a bunch before as it was an album my Dad had. It was good to revisit.

Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You

Big Thief

4/5

This was pretty much new to me but I really enjoyed it.

No Balance Palace

Kashmir

4/5

This was a good listen, and I'd listen to it again.

Djarimirri

Gurrumul

1/5

Not for me, even a little bit.

St. Jude

Courteeners

2/5

Another album I listened to and forgot I was listening to it while it was on

Y Ahora Qué?

Reincidentes

4/5

I enjoyed this quite a bit, way more so that I thought I would.

Apostrophe(')

Frank Zappa

3/5

Like most Zappa I find some of it very interesting and some if it too weird for me. I liked this one about the same as the ones on the main list.

Goat

The Jesus Lizard

5/5

Another brand new to me album and one I liked a lot. Like a whole lot. Not surprised to learn who produced it after reading about it afterwards. It's that driving guitar noise rock thing that I just really like.

Uncovered

Zamilska

3/5

Not my typical style of music, but nothing here to really dislike, either. It was fine,

The Fame

Lady Gaga

3/5

I have to admit that I've never listened to this before. My wife has, and she likes it a lot. I can see why, for a pure pop/pop-dance album, it's not bad. It's better than Madonna's later albums at least. The middle to middle to end of the album dragged a bit. Cut this down to 40 minutes and it's a very good album.

Fashion Nugget

CAKE

4/5

CAKE might be the worst band I've ever seen play live, but this album is good.

Que c'est triste Venise

Charles Aznavour

1/5

Not for me at all.

Hall of the Mountain King

Savatage

2/5

I didn't really enjoy this. Too much prog, too much of that almost parody of a vocal high pitch voice.

WORRY

Jeff Rosenstock

5/5

This is such an amazing album. Probably Rosenstock's best and probably my favorite album to come out in the last 10 years. Ah crap, it's just about 10 years old now!

Ants From Up There

Black Country, New Road

3/5

There's a few songs on here that I like but the album itself is just meh overall.

City Of Evil

Avenged Sevenfold

3/5

Fast drums, shredding guitars, and vocals that aren't terrible. Seems like metal I would enjoy more than I did. It's fine.

Deadwing

Porcupine Tree

4/5

Actually liked this more than I expected when I saw the genre. Wasn't too noodle-y which is good. A lot of alt-rock type influences which I enjoyed.
