Feb 14 2024

I couldn't understand the lyrics because they were in Portuguese but I enjoyed the sound and vibe of the album

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Feb 15 2024

Kind of anti-women through quite a few of the songs. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be based upon something or just misogyny. Decent music otherwise

Feb 16 2024

I don't know about this album, I'll have to give it another lesson but at first try it was kinda meh.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Feb 25 2024

I listened to this walking to the store at 6am Feb 24 after my car broke down the week before. I'm not sure why but I bsolutely loved the vibe this album had on my walk this morning. I was surprised at how long it was but I'll definitely check it out again.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Feb 27 2024

I really enjoyed this album! You can tell how much blues influenced The Stones in quite a few of these songs especially 'I got The Blues' and 'Dead Flowers'

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Feb 28 2024

This album is a weird one. I've heard some Dire Straits songs before and I can see why those i knew got all the radio play. This album was good but I was finding myself tired of listening to it about halfway through.

Kala by M.I.A.
Mar 01 2024

This was a great album! The beats to each track were absolutely great the lyrics were a bit weird but the instrumentals were on point.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Mar 04 2024

Good album. Few lyrics thriught. The last 8 tracks were just remixes of two songs and I didn't really care for that.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Mar 05 2024

This was an absolutely excellent album. There was so much depth and feeling behind all parts. The instruments and vocal were just incredible.

Good album a little slow paced in some areas for my taste

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Mar 07 2024

I enjoyed this album. It was a very upbeat and peppy kind of feel.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 08 2024

I've listened to this album I don't know how many times. It came out much senior year of high school and I used to party to it. Listening to it 10 years later I still love it but I understand it's not a party anthem. Absolutely beautiful album put together so damn well.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Mar 11 2024

I enjoyed how many different styles this album went through.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Mar 13 2024

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Mar 23 2024

Mar 28 2024

Very synth-y pop from the 80s.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Mar 30 2024

It's Bowie, definitely not his best but good.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Apr 01 2024

Great apbum. I love grunge and Sound garden is one of the best.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 03 2024

What a weird sounding band. I've only hear a a song or two by them before but the slower pace compared to my normal choices and the awesome bass lines in this album made it a fun listen.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jul 03 2024

Sinatra is a legend for a reason but it's not this album. Musically I appreciate it but that's about it.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 06 2024

I'm really digging this album. It's got a great groove to it that makes me want to keep listening to it.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jul 07 2024

I love Rush. The kick in to Tom Sawyer at the start of this album is fucking iconic. YYZ is one of my all time favorites "discordant noise, followed by tasty jams" as Waffle once put it. Great album.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jul 09 2024

This is one of my absolute favorite albums of all times. The memories of Athena and me jamming out to aby number of Spors tracks but this album especially will always be a bright spot. I hear this album and I think of my best friend. 5 stars every day all day. Love The Doors.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jul 12 2024

This is one of the most beautiful albums. Stevie wonder was a machine for putting out music and this is easily one of his best.

War by U2
Jul 17 2024

The themes behind the album are also heavily related to the book I'm reading about The Troubles and this album hit in a hard way after reading all this book.

Woodface by Crowded House
Jul 18 2024

Kinda weird 90s indie. I liked most of the album but some was funk in a odd way. "God in his swxy pants and sausage dog."

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Sep 05 2024

I really dig this album. It has a varied style for each track and kept me engaged listening throughout.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Sep 10 2024

So depressing! Like musically it's very well crafted but the vibe was really hard for me to get over. I'll have to give it another listen some day

Illmatic by Nas
Sep 11 2024

The lyric writing is insane in this album.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Sep 14 2024

Great album!

Bossanova by Pixies
Sep 17 2024

I really enjoyed this album.

Forever Changes by Love
Sep 18 2024

This is such a great psychedelia album. I think if you were tripping this album would hit so hard.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Sep 20 2024

I enjoyed this album! Nothing bad in it. Nothing amazing but a well crafted album all atound

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 21 2024

I wasn't the biggest fan of this album. I've heard some of his other work and enjoyed it but this album was really a bit of a drag to get through for me.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Sep 22 2024

I liked this. More on the folksy side but definitely still some great punk elements.

Sep 30 2024

Oct 12 2024

There were a few good songs but overall I didn't care for the album.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Oct 17 2024

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Oct 22 2024

I enjoyed the fun beach rock vibe. Good time

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Nov 03 2024

I used to listen to albums like this a lot in middle school. Not so much anymore but it's still decent

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Nov 08 2024
Bad by Michael Jackson
Nov 10 2024

I can totally see how MJ took the world by storm when these albums first came out. They're still good today but back then they must have been absolutely incredible to hear the first time.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Nov 18 2024

I really enjoyed this album, definitely reminded me of where the Beatles got the sound from in a few of their songs.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Nov 20 2024

Fairly decent, nothing really memorable though.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Nov 24 2024

I had heard the John Wayne Gacy Jr song before but not the rest of this album. All around good, probably would like it more if I understood all the Illinois references and history.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Nov 26 2024

"Nothing in life is certain, except the first four Black Sabbath albums." I don't know where I first heard that but it rings true every time I listen to early Sabbath. Paranoid is a great album.

Homework by Daft Punk
Nov 27 2024

Great album! Daft Punk series the bar for so much electronic music to come out in the following years. An absolute classic of the genre.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Dec 11 2024

I really enjoyed this album. There is so much emotion in every song.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Dec 17 2024

I love zeppelin and this is a phenomenon album.

Horses by Patti Smith
Dec 23 2024

This album had great feeling. Patti Smith knew how to evoke emotion with her music.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Dec 25 2024

Some good psych rock. I really like the way the singers voice flows.

Dare! by The Human League
Jan 10 2025

I enjoyed this album it was the exact poppy vibe I was looking for at the minute I listened to. "Keyboards and Cocaine" could basically describe the whole album and id heard "don't you want me" a million times but all around decent.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jan 13 2025

I didnt really care for this album as a whole. Nothing bad about it I just didn't vibe with it.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jan 14 2025

I like the beastie boys quite a bit but this album is just okay.

The Coral by The Coral
Jan 22 2025

Felt kimd of generic throughout but I'll have to check it out again someday when I'm not working

xx by The xx
Jan 24 2025

I really really liked this album!

Jan 25 2025

Queen is so good! And this album was start to finish great.

Blur by Blur
Jan 26 2025

I didn't care for the first half this album. It had the song 2 that live heard a bunch but meh. The last 4 tracks though I really enjoyed. Especially Moving On and Essex Dogs

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jan 29 2025

I liked this album. A lot of emotion throughout the alhums.

More Specials by The Specials
Jan 30 2025

This album is fun as hell! International Jet Set is my favorite off it. I dig the groovy funk vibe throughout the whole thing.

Jan 31 2025

I've listened to this before in a trippy state of mind. Sober it doesn't have the same feel at all though. Still good just not as easy for me to get through.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 01 2025

Loved it. I had heard Jimi before on the radio my whole life. I got a little stoned put on some good headphones and had an experience with this album. Incredible.

Melodrama by Lorde
Feb 02 2025

This is a good album. There's some themes that touch depression and loneliness and it really hit for me today.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 06 2025
Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Feb 08 2025

I really like this one! Phenomenal synthesizer throughout and just a fun ambum

Play by Moby
Feb 12 2025

Pretty basic electronica compared to what I'm used to not bad and something I will absolutely play again.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Feb 20 2025

Loved this album. I'd heard about half of it before but start to finish enjoyable.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 04 2025

Not really for me. Nothing g bad and enjoyable just not for me.

Mar 05 2025

The originator of Gangsta rap and you can see their influence throughout sp many genres today. Th3 social commentary on this album is still prevalent 40 years later.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 06 2025

This was okay. A couple tracks caught my attention for being really odd.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Mar 09 2025

Wasn't expecting old country. Hot burrito #1 is great

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Mar 11 2025

Stray Cat Blues is a wild song in a bad way. About hooking up with a 15 year old

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Mar 14 2025

Love Ministry. My first thought when hearing industrial metal. Great album by a great bamd

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Mar 25 2025

I really dug this album Let Me Be Him was great. Good electronica from the age that I started listening to.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Apr 01 2025

The Smiths always kinda bring me down but there's nothing wrong with them. Just not my cup of tea
