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.

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.

4/5

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.
