Let's Get Killed

David Holmes · 1 likes

1/5

Honestly terrible. Literally noise with a beat behind it.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada · 1 likes

1/5

Noise. Just noise. Turned off after the second track. Not interested in "nostalgia" or whatever these guys were trying to go for. Beyond boring.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

4/5

Decent classic jazz. I feel like I've heard some of these songs in passing before. Overall, interesting to start picking up on some of the common key changes in jazz and to hear the Latin influence as well. Might start messing around with these key changes.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

Definitely my favorite (and only one I actually like) album from Jefferson anything. Great classic songs on this album. I am not a fan of their more dylan-esque folksy sounding songs though. White Rabbit is a masterpiece.

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

1/5

Honestly awful. I get the protest song vibes but the vocalist was not good and the music was generic. Couldn't finish the album.

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Alright but not something I would choose to listen too. Much too slow and somber for most of the songs. Not bad, just not something I like.

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

2/5

Definitely not something I like. Mostly ambient noise with little differentiation between songs. Could not finish the entire thing because I found it boring.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

3/5

I understand that this was pretty definitive of this era of rock but i'm not a big fan. There was a lot of really long psychadelic songs that again made it hard to tell each song apart. Not great.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Definitely a classic. I enjoyed pretty much every song on this album besides the well-known hits. I actually pulled some songs for my personal Playlist from this one. Best one in a while.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

4/5

Good classic jazz. Had no serious problems with this. I have yo say though that the bass improv was the worst part, which was sad.

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

3/5

Not bad but I got bore with the slow songs. Nice to hear some pretty crazy guitar parts though.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

Liked this. Good background music for work but was also interesting enough to keep me entertained. Might be something I would listen to again.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

I have to say that this album I did not like as much as the last bowie one. Not as memorable and there was not a song that stood out to me. Still had that classic sound of his but not my favorite.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

1/5

Honestly terrible. Literally noise with a beat behind it.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

This is a classic. Great songs on the album. I feel like I don't quite like it as much as some of his other ones bit this is still a rock great.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

1/5

Noise. Just noise. Turned off after the second track. Not interested in "nostalgia" or whatever these guys were trying to go for. Beyond boring.

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

4/5

Not my style of music but it was listenable. I thought the more obvious mix of country and modern pop was interesting because it's uncommon to see both put together

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

Definitely a classic. I generally like the beastie boys.

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

2/5

I found this one very boring. Couldn't get through more than a couple of songs. Not into the 80's soft rock sound.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

3/5

I appreciate the band... just not this album...
