3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Popular Reviews

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire · 21 likes

5/5

I, too, hate suburban sprawl and the lack of identity that capitalism ingrains into every aspect of our culture.

Basket of Light

Pentangle · 10 likes

5/5

White British people playing the sitar will always be a little sus to me, but I'll also also always be a sucker for an album that blends genres so well. And folk, rock and jazz with some parts that just sound medieval European make for such a fun combo

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa · 4 likes

5/5

Honestly if I were rating purely off enjoyment I might not give it 5 stars, but it's impossible to separate this music from how hugely important and influential it was to the early years of hip hop.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

5/5

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

Honestly one of my favorite jazz albums/groups. Take five would be overrated if it weren't so good. Paul Desmond really gets to shine without over shadowing anyone else. Also I'm just a sucker for anything outside of 4/4 and 3/4

The Predator

Ice Cube

5/5

Not even remotely surprising that the track that has the least to do with the larger sociopolitical message of the album also happens to be the most well known. I'm a sucker for this type of sampling. Really a time capsule more than most albums from name dropping nba players in the league at the time to Rodney king references and plenty of others I already forgot or didn't even catch. Can't get over "down the street" rhyming with "introduce her to my meat." TPAB's grandpa and I mean that as the highest compliment

Bad Company

1/5

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

3/5

Sometimes the goofy little guy energy that reminded me of parts of the white album worked and sometimes it didn't. Plastic man definitely didn't work, but there were a few songs that did.

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

4/5

A ton of exciting tracks with plenty of energy held back by some strangely lifeless ones.

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

4/5

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

5/5

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

5/5

Van Halen

5/5

It's been a long time since I've listened to van halen, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Hair metal is all about energy, and extremely few bands could pack an album with so much nonstop energy without it getting extremely old. Eddie and David Lee Roth are insane as always, and eddies brother and whoever plays bass have done pretty solid performances too.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

5/5

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

5/5

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Always good to be reminded just how revolutionary the Stones were at the practice of taking the culture of black artists (mainly blues), watering it down, and presenting it to an eager *white* audience.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

4/5

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

Horses

Patti Smith

5/5

Calenture

The Triffids

3/5

Very inconsistent. There's something great about variety in an album of its done well. This one could've stayed a little focused in style.

Phrenology

The Roots

5/5

We Are Family

Sister Sledge
