Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jul 09 2022

Aaaah...The legendary precursor to the bloons soundtrack. Exquisite.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jul 10 2022

What happened to this book in 1998? They put Kid rock and Korn in over Neutral Milk Hotel...This album is certainly great, welcome to Tijuana is a fantastic criticism of the problems plagueing City and the country associated. Bongo bong into Je ne t'aime bang in their own soft way. The smooth flow from song to song is almost unnoticable and all the samples used have clear and important uses within the album. Language barrier aside I have trouble getting past a bit of the cheesiness in the songwriting. Maybe it's my lack of affinity for alot of the traditional latin sounds but I find that everything that is not the beat of this album to be so much more captivating. Great album, will probably listen again sometime but not often 8.3/10

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jul 11 2022

the last thing my mental state needs is listening to an elvis album. As someone who grew up listening to 90s and 2000s counterculture music this sounds like the source for every backwards deconstruction of rock n' roll tropes. If I didn't know for a fact that 90% of elvis' music was stolen from people lower on the social ladder than him this would be interesting to me. Otherwise it is a boring relic of the past that doesn't stand up to the present in a way that Pet sounds, Velvet Underground & Nico, or Close to the edge do. 3.1/10

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jul 12 2022

I'm not a Beatles purist and I don't believe this is the best Beatles album by quite a bit but at the end of the day anything I say is semantics; it's the Beatles. That being said I have the smallest of gripes with saying this album holds up as well as some others from the same period. The purity of the acoustic sounds makes some slower pieces sound almost stale in comparison to that of king crimson and Velvet Underground and the subject matter leaves alot to be desired. Barring that tiny personal gripe this album is one of many free masterclasses by the band on how to develop an entire genre almost entirely on your own 9.6/10

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jul 13 2022
Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jul 14 2022

I mean... Its definitely a top 100 album of all time. Idk what to say. I'm dreamed out of my siamese mind rn. 9.9/10

1999 by Prince
Jul 15 2022

awooooooga, the sexiest male pop artist of all time even if you've never seen him. what a ride, from experimental to masterful, this album hits it all Idk if there was an itch not scratched but I gotta let it sit with me before saying it's perfect definitely a revisiter. 9.9/10

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 16 2022

Great stuff. A little uninspired, but thats in comparison to ziggy stardust and the like so... 8.9/10

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Jul 17 2022

What a start to Eno's storied career. Roxy Music is brash , unforgiving, creative, and yet relatable. It doesn't take a music genius to hear what makes this album such a delight. Every bit of flavor on top of the beautiful vocals and driving guitars pulls this album up from being a 'pretty good' 70s bop to a greatest album of all time. rarely does it drag and in the times it does I can find solace in knowing it will be payed off. beautiful project. for starting Brian Enos career and still being a banger of an album. 9.9/10

Eagles by Eagles
Jul 18 2022

The atrocity that put country music on the map, this album is not only bland, annoying, and widely overrated; but it managed to popularize the act of taking the same sound someone has done and repeating it into oblivion. This album hurt the music landscape and I will never forgive it for that. The bird song was okay tho. 0.8/10 (wish I could give it a 0 damn this site)

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jul 19 2022

I dont really understand why this is here?... Seems mediocre... Like Bjork 2 but if the only goal was to kinda sound indie. I mean it's enjoyable to listen to, not very inspired tho so. 6.8/10

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jul 20 2022

So hardcore. Almost too hardcore. Daydream Nation is a perfect album but I think this isnt that. Nothing to latch onto. Still Beautifully hardcore. 8.7/10

Jul 22 2022

Beautifully complex classic piece of literature detailing the wants of preservationalists in the 70s great highlights all around can't think of anything wrong with it... for the first listen I'm confident in giving it a 9.9/10
