Jul 08 2022

Very surprised about how much I got into this but also felt a few songs either dragged on or went down the wrong path. This album came out when I first started teenage park drinking and navigating the other gender. Time to pretend took me back to Brendan's garage watching him dance with Sarah while I'm trying to figure out who I could kiss. Weekend wars has such an incredible first half but then loses itself/goes away from what I really enjoyed about it. The grungey feel that really isn't typical of MGMT. Electric feel is a song I'd typically skip but in the context of the album it is perfect. There's no wonder this song was everywhere when I was 15. The album is a nostalgic piece of fun for me. With enough content to make it memorable but not enough for me to want to go back. Great first album but looking for much better to come

All Directions by The Temptations
Jul 09 2022

Such a dynamic and wonderful mix of 70s black American music. Papa was a rolling stone is top tier

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jul 09 2022

Songs with no direction. Pissing in the wind.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 11 2022

A very good story teller and strong vocalist with some moments of brilliant musical moments. An enjoyable listen but definitely not a repeat. Only one song left me with any thought more positive than that was decent and that was the 9+ minute one. I get why it is revered but it isn't my cup of tea

Sea Change by Beck
Jul 12 2022

A decent album with some good moments but altogether not that memorable.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jul 13 2022

My dad's favourite band and a very energetic fun album. I am very biased due to the good memories of the who in my lounge room but the band seemed to really just go for it in this show

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jul 14 2022

Such a cool and fresh undertaking of tango with a wild combination of instruments. Definitely not going to be a regular play but I'm much better for having heard this

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jul 15 2022

Budget pink floyd

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 16 2022

Bitta fun. Good time but not a consistent replay

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jul 18 2022

The kind of music you'd here walking to an empty dive bar in suburban Australia. One man up front with a karaoke backing track and an old Casio keyboard playing for a room of drunks and exhausted workers. I honestly thought it was a joke at first.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jul 19 2022

A bit of fun. A bit of chaos. Not memorable

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 20 2022

The first side of the album was your typical brilliant bowie. Very inventive, weird and creative music. The B-side was a big let down. Lots of boring instrumentals and nothing memorable

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jul 22 2022

What an absolute jazz funk onslaught. Incredible album

Dookie by Green Day
Jul 24 2022

Surprisingly fun! Never listened to Green Day before and thoroughly enjoyed it

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Jul 25 2022

Very surprised by how much I enjoyed this.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Jul 29 2022

Great 90s style rhyme and flow over the top of a great sounding backing

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Aug 03 2022

Not memorable nor very enjoyable

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Aug 04 2022

Absolute classic

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Aug 09 2022

Reminds me of Saturday mornings at my parents.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Aug 12 2022

Album was a bit of fun but not amazing. Sultans of swing is the saving grace of a somewhat forgettable experience

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 10 2022

Got this recommended on the day the queen died. Poor taste
