Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jul 08 2022

I enjoyed the ethereal vibes, but found myself yearning for a beat or hint of a melody most of the time.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jul 11 2022

Like a more subdued Daft Punk. Good beats, but not a lot of variety or progression of the melody.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jul 12 2022

Beautiful music, very soulful and relaxing!

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jul 13 2022

I feel like I'm listening to a teenage garage punk band, very raw and shouty. A couple of catchy songs, but couldn't get into most of the songs.

Fragile by Yes
Jul 14 2022

Wonderful musicians who are just jamming out. No attention is paid to the listener, there are no catchy hooks or melodies. They seem to be very attached to the same few overly-dissonent chord progressions and time signatures. Being different is cool, but I feel like this band tries too hard to avoid meaningful riffs, and when they do play something cool it's forgotten about 5 seconds later.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jul 18 2022

Good classic rock sound with a punk edge. Vocals aren't always good, whether that's on purpose, being drunk, or due to not caring I'm not sure. It sounds like the singer is destroying his voice every time he goes up high.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 21 2022

I absolutely hate Neil Young's voice, but the songs and the rock is pretty good. Overall the vibe of the album is good, very jam-band esque.

Jul 22 2022

A few good songs, a lot of unremarkable songs that seems like background gangsta music.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jul 25 2022

Good chill rock, can be very slow and indulgent at times. Lots of ambience, if you're in to that sort of thing with rock music. It's personally too much for me.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jul 26 2022

Unexpectedly good, albeit a little boring sometimes.

New Forms by Roni Size
Jul 27 2022

A really interesting genre, the bare-bones D&B tunes aren't really my thing, but add some melody and some of these are really good.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jul 28 2022

Decent album, I enjoyed it

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jul 29 2022

Good 90's party rap, some songs are pretty bland

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Aug 01 2022

Nice and smooth

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Aug 02 2022

Was too angsty for me, not very enjoyable.

25 by Adele
Aug 03 2022

Great voice, music seems to get really heavy and dramatic though.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Aug 04 2022

The musician in me thinks this music is a great unique musical expression. The music listener in me thinks it's self-indulgent dissonant horse shit.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Aug 05 2022

Great album, very groovy electronic rocky music.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Aug 10 2022

Let's be honest, it's soft rock/Reggae from a Scotsman trying to sing with a Jamaican accent. The singing could also be better. That being said, there are some great chill songs here, the composition and musicianship is great.

Metallica by Metallica
Aug 11 2022

Like many commenters I was listening to Metallica before this album and loved them. This album was definitely a commercial-focused departure from their earlier works. Some of the songs are still great, but too many similar songs, same tempo, same chords, same feel. It's missing that raw-ness of the older Metallica music that makes this kind of music great.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Aug 23 2022

It's ok, way too overproduced.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Aug 24 2022

Good sound, but almost mindless songwriting, short songs with one riff, and WTF is this album.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Aug 25 2022

Was expecting soft pop K.D. Lang. Got whining slow country, so syrupy I felt my blood sugar rise. Couldn't do it.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Aug 29 2022

Country isn't my favorite, but this was pretty relaxing and good vibes.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Aug 30 2022

All I hear are hippies dancing with abandon at Woodstock, melodies are non-existent. Some of the songs start out good and made me hopeful, but about 30 seconds in the musicians' drugs kicked in and all reasonable structure crumbled into a pile of sounds.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Aug 31 2022

Very relaxing and musically full.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Sep 02 2022

Good music, kind of a chill 80s sound.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Sep 07 2022

Great smooth reggae

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Sep 08 2022

Good rock, feels like I should have heard of them before.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

Great music, very flowing. Singing can be a little dissonant but it just works.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Sep 13 2022

Great album, this was the point where Metallica began to change and refine their sound. When it came out, purists hated it. I think it's awesome.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Sep 14 2022

Not my kind of music, but she has a good voice.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Sep 16 2022

Amazing, never heard the album before but wow.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Sep 19 2022

Good old music, nothing too special.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Sep 20 2022

Some good songs, and I appreciate the minimalist approach to their sound. However, there are a lot of throwaway songs that just sound the same. Need more hooks and melodies to get excited about.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Sep 22 2022

Decent music, fairly unremarkable.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Sep 23 2022

Wow, never heard this before and it's awesome!

Face to Face by The Kinks
Sep 28 2022

Unremarkable but ok hippie rock.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Oct 07 2022

Really good folky stuff, not my genre but love it.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Oct 11 2022

Great classic rock!

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Oct 19 2022

Lots of great songs by a great band.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Oct 25 2022

Good folky rock, not as special as I expected.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Oct 26 2022

Great songs, all of them!

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Nov 21 2022

Wow, very funky and awesome. Good fun!

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Dec 08 2022

Slow, pointless and self-indulgent. Like wish.com Lauren Hill.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Dec 09 2022

Good psych music, but a little repetitive. Songs are not differentiated, it's like one big song and they just take breaks to do acid and bong hits.

Garbage by Garbage
Dec 12 2022

Great album!

American Idiot by Green Day
Dec 14 2022

Great album! Yes it's commercially successful, no that's not automatically bad.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Dec 15 2022

A little boring but very soulful and relaxing!

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Dec 20 2022

Incredible classic rock!

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Dec 21 2022

Decent, seems overrated

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 10 2023

So good, so soulful. Amazing.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 12 2023

It's ok....

Jan 13 2023

I'm not too much into rap, but some of these beats are real nice. Complex intellectual shit.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 20 2023

Nice, very relaxing music. Seems like background music.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jan 23 2023

Decent music, starts to sound the same after a while.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Jan 24 2023

Great music, wistful songwriting. What a gem.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Jan 26 2023

Mostly garbage music. I found myself yelling "don't you care about notes?" after the first song or two. There were a few reasonable songs after that, I enjoyed "Calistan" and "Headache". These raised it up from one star to two.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Feb 01 2023
Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Feb 02 2023

Great 80s music!

Be by Common
Feb 14 2023

Not a rap listener, but this was nice and chill I liked it.
