Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jul 11 2022

The album is just fine, inoffensive but nothing stands out about it. The length of the songs makes the album feel like it drags on.

Faith by George Michael
Jul 12 2022

Aggressively '80s.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Jul 13 2022

Only ever heard of 'I want you to want me' but enjoyed this album. I think I need to listen to a studio version, the live in concert was very up tempo and I'm curious if that holds true with studio recordings.

Jul 14 2022

Don't think I've listened to this one of hers before and it's not my favorite. Doesn't have an anchor hit to draw you in. The album starts real rough with some strained whisper singing bet gets better.

Illmatic by Nas
Jul 15 2022

Real solid, great working music.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jul 18 2022

Not really a big fan of 10+ minute songs, so not my favorite of theirs but pleasant to listen to. Kind of falls in the background. I do love Wish You Were Here. Overall, think I like the story of the album better than the album itself.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Jul 20 2022

A little too aggressive for my taste. some of her other songs I like though!

Queen II by Queen
Jul 26 2022

Much more rock and roll than I thought!

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jul 27 2022

I like her voice more than her songs, not real into pop country but her voice is so pleasant.

Jul 28 2022

More tolerable than most country. I think I like this more because it feels more like country rock with good guitar riffs.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Aug 02 2022

it's alright, didn't enjoy the talking interludes but nice tunes

Aug 03 2022

how delightful, makes me want to listen to Patsy Cline! some of the songs sound a little like early Elvis, leaning into blues territory.

Forever Changes by Love
Aug 04 2022

have never heard of this group before. I felt like the album started off strong and ended a little weaker. overall I like but sounds familiar (re: like other things) but nothing exceptional.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Aug 05 2022

I like the music and wacky lyrics but not a fan of the vocals or talk-singing. Kind of reminds me of the Talking Heads

Eagles by Eagles
Aug 08 2022

classic, witchy woman is my fave from here.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Aug 10 2022

fantastic, not my fave album but solid. I'm reserving my 5-stars for one of their other albums.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Aug 11 2022

super wacky and fun, no idea how to even classify this!

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Aug 12 2022

42 songs??? couldn't get through this one, just too much twang. One or two songs might be tolerable but not a whole album.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Aug 16 2022

Liked it more than expected, I guess I thought it'd be more like hair metal and was not. nice.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Aug 18 2022

ooooh yeahhhh! actually found myself bopping my head along a lot. the vocals aren't my favorite but there's a time and a place for the beats and tempo, and apparently time and place is digging through spreadsheets.

Phrenology by The Roots
Aug 24 2022

solid, a few songs I didn't like otherwise would have been a 4

Aug 26 2022

Kinda reminded me of flaming lips. Mellow

Trio by Dolly Parton
Aug 30 2022
american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Sep 01 2022

not my favorite of theirs but some hits

Sep 13 2022

like some of the hits but generally not my jam

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Sep 14 2022

Not for me but much more enjoyable than modern country

Metallica by Metallica
Sep 15 2022

not for me

LP1 by FKA twigs
Sep 16 2022

I was thinking she reminded me of Grimes and who is the next artist that plays after the album finishes, GRIMES!

Rocks by Aerosmith
Sep 19 2022

JAMS, actually more fun than what I previously thought of Aerosmith!

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Sep 20 2022

it's fine.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Sep 21 2022

meh, didn't get it.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Sep 28 2022

a little reminiscent of Patsy Cline

Sep 29 2022

it was fine, her voice was a little too gravely for me.

Damaged by Black Flag
Oct 07 2022
Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Oct 14 2022

a little too out there for me

Pretenders by Pretenders
Oct 18 2022

Eh, it was fine. Liked some songs but nothing worth call home about.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Oct 20 2022

the album started out sounding one way (bad) and ended differently (fine). didn't like the piano bar sound of the first two songs but the latter half was better.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Oct 21 2022

too jazzy, not for me.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Oct 26 2022

enough of this metal

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Oct 27 2022

Thought I would like it more but was not what I was expecting

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Nov 03 2022

I want to like it, kind of, but not totally.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Nov 11 2022

not what i was expecting at all but in a good way! 1990s missy > 2000s missy

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 14 2022

am not a fan of his voice

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Nov 16 2022

Thought I had never heard of them before, but then "How Can I Be Sure" came on and I recognized the melody...then Groovin' came on and duh, of course!

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Dec 02 2022

didn't like as much as the other album we listened to from him

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Dec 06 2022

has a little more twang than i was expecting, kinda bored listening to it.

xx by The xx
Dec 07 2022

No notes, five stars.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 16 2022

sounds very much like The National was inspired by this album

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jan 06 2023
Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jan 12 2023
Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 16 2023

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 18 2023
Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jan 20 2023
The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Jan 24 2023

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jan 26 2023
Gold by Ryan Adams
Feb 01 2023
Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Feb 07 2023

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Feb 16 2023

Kenya by Machito
Apr 19 2023

I like 'Heard it through the grapevine" but I'm not a fan of the vocals, a bit harsh. 2.5 stars

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Apr 25 2023
