Bryter Layter by Nick Drake

Incredibly beautiful album, it is very introspective and vulnerable. It has a healing quality which only someone who is very introspective can achieve. I hope one day I can write music as beautiful as Nick Drake. Rest in Peace. I will definetly listen to it again. Favorite tracks are At the Chime of a City Clock and Sunday. 5/5

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jul 15 2022

Ok holy fuck, I've slept on Zeppelin wayyy too long! I've listened to their first, thought it was meh and dismissed the rest. But wow, this album has blown me away. It is very consistent, fine as fuck rock! I think I might give it 5/5 simply because it proves me wrong about my opinion on Led Zeppelin! Ofc I wouldn't do that if the songs wouldn't back it up! Glad my journey through this book starts with this album!

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jul 16 2022

I give it a 3, because it's a good album but it didn't do much for me, It has some absolutely beautiful tracks. I like the bass heavy mix, the "booming".

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jul 17 2022

This is a good Hip Hop album, was straight vibin' through it might revisit it one day. 4/5 is good.

Jul 18 2022

Woah this album blew me off! It's so moody and cool! Typical nonsense childish lyrics of the summer of love (in a good way, I like 'em). I'd describe it as a Piper At The Gates Of Dawn lite in terms of weirdness. It's more commercial but atill enough weirdness. 5/5 it's soo fucking good! Fav. Song is Afternoon Tea.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jul 19 2022

It sounds radical, has some good tunes on it, but one of the rappers sounds like a really obnoxious version of Zack de la Rocha. It's a 3/5 since it has some sick tunes, is well made, but just isn't my cup of tea.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jul 20 2022

I give it a 4, it's a good album. Before I listened to this I listened to Beggars Banquet and I think they're neat. My favorite is Mother's Little Helper, since it completely caught me off guard with it's dark lyrics.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jul 21 2022

It's interesting, the singer shines sometimes with his excellent vocal delivery, other times it's bad. He has his style and ya gotta respect him for that. It's hit or miss. Some songs are sick af, others suck. My fav track is the last one. Because fucking hell it has a STRONG vocal delivery. I think a 3/5 is fair. Since it has it's style and it is interesting enough that I'll come back someday.

American Pie by Don McLean
Jul 22 2022

Pretty unspectacular, you have to be in the mood for it, I wasn't. It's well made though and idk, 3/5.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jul 23 2022

Kinda uninteresting, it's aight but didn't catch me. Standard 80's, not my jam but it's ok. 3/5

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 24 2022

It managed to put a smile on my face on a bad day. It's beautiful. I am glad I got to listen to it for the first time :) 5/5

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jul 25 2022

Chill blues, kinda cliché. Begins to drag hard by the end. Didn't capture me. 2/5, I'd rather give it a 2.5 but...

Doolittle by Pixies
Jul 26 2022

Ok Jesus Christ I came from an album that already bored me so hard (I listened to 2 this day) and I wantrd to go out but I force myself to listen to this. It's so chaotic to the degree I don't like it. There goes my gun is cool doe, and the last track. 1/5

21 by Adele
Jul 27 2022

Going into this I thought "ah hell naw." But into Rolling in the Deep, I thought "this can actually be good". I still remember how we had to sing Rolling in the Deep at school and how me and the boys used to absolutely butcher this. Like howling dogs we "sang" this song because we got fucking tired of it. Those were the good times :') I mean it's very ballad heavy. The production is very good. It's beautiful, not my jam, but I hear quality when I hear quality. I might return and reevaluate when this Website gets an edit function. 4/5

2112 by Rush
Jul 28 2022

I can't stand the singers voice, the instrumentation is great though. But it's kinda overblown and cliché and I don't like it. 2/5

Tago Mago by Can
Jul 29 2022

Ok this sounds like that kind of music which you are forced to hear when the CIA is interrogating you while you're on LSD. I do have to say, it's weirdly charming. I was at Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets tour and while I was sitting, I saw some old people dancing through the entire concert. Like they're high as a kite. This is what they listen to when they're not listening to Pink Floyd. I retract this statement. It's still shit, I'm getting real tired of it by Halleluwah. It's hot garbage actually, that this shit is on the list of 1001 albums and Weezer's blue album isn't, is a fucking disgrace. On one hand, you have one of the greatest albums of the 90's, probably even the greatest power pop album ever made, and on the other one what I imagine sounds like what it is like to have a stroke while on LSD and ketamine while being on the train station. It's so bad, it's funny, BUT IT'S 1 HOUR LONG JESUS CHRIST AAUUUUUUMMMGGGNNNNN AAAAAAUUUUUUUMMMMMMGGNNN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM was the lyric that hit the hardest doe. So deep... It could actually be good if they'd drop the avant garde. I'M FINALLY DONE WITH IT!!! FUCK THIS ALBUM 1/5

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jul 30 2022

Ok do I went in thinking I'll get a woman singing, buth then it was a man. So 1 star atleast for bamboozeling me. And it's very chill, suave and sexy. It's aight, 3/5

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jul 31 2022

You know what? I was gonna give it a 4/5, but while I was writing and still listening to it, Moby Dick came on, and I thought fuck it, 5/5. It's a banger of an album. It's really the grandfather of hardrock, and these guys bridged the way for the coming generations.

The Visitors by ABBA
Aug 01 2022

Going into this I thought this would be some shitty juvenile stereotypical synth pop, I've already heard all the praise for ABBA, but this is actually quite mature. Though this spotify link sends you to a quieter version of the song, so idk which version to listen, I went with the quieter version. I HATE IT SO MUCH IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE VERSIONS. Ok actually this is really good, idk if I should give it a 5/5 or a 4/5, maybe I'll be generous. Fuck it I'm generous. 5/5, it's a very mature and sad album. It shows the band breaking up and is a fitting end. Sike, most fans said in 2021. Yeah, 5/5.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Aug 02 2022

Jesus this is so bland, generic and BOOOOORING. I could listen to some better music, but no. Her voice is generic female voice no. 5, the music is to sleep. 1/5 Like atleast the last no. 1 I gave, Tago Mago, I can see why this one should be on the list, I don't like it but it's interesting. This is just like the most generic whatever music. Edit: aight, it saved itself on the last 4-5 tracks, it's still a boring album, but these last were from aight to beautiful. 2/5

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Aug 04 2022

I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I didn't listen actively to it, it doesn't really as the soundtrack for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, but it managed to captivate me enough that I'll definitely check it out again! 4/5

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Aug 05 2022

It's aight, not that special though, it didn't live up to my expectations to what Dylan could be. 3/5

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Aug 06 2022

It's good. Gave me Fallout ptsd flashbacks. It sounds old, but that's thr charming thing about it. Like a cliché movie with a good and happy ending. 4/5

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Aug 07 2022

It's basically a parody of 80's music. Every cliché in one album. I'm glad I'll never have to listen to it again. 1/5

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 08 2022

So the US version is very good, but it omitts Can You See Me, which I love, the brit version omitts Purple Haze and Hey Joe, so I'm gonna judge every song. I mean, It's Hendrix. Hendrix is literally the most important guitarist of all time. Though I don't know if I can give this album a 5/5, because I know where Hendrix will go from it. It's a 4/5 got sure, but man, he WILL do better from this. And my favorite Hendrix songs are almost exclusively from the next two albums. It's a damn fine album. But I have to give it a 4/5 I'm afraid. This for me lacks the magic of Axis and Electric Ladyland. Those have Little Wing, If 6 was 9, Voodoo Child and All Along The Watchtower, and those hit HARD. This one has Purple Haze and Foxy Lady, but else, idk. Really feels bad to do this, but yeah: 4/5

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Aug 09 2022

It's aight. The others are better. Shame that I own it on Vinyl, this delayed me discovering Zeppelin cuz it was lame to me because I knew the astronomical praise Zeppelin gets and it set my expectations too high. 4/5

Signing Off by UB40
Aug 10 2022

It's a chill Reggae album, has some fine ass tunes. 4/5

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Aug 11 2022

It's an aight album, nothing special, has some good tunes. 4/5

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Aug 12 2022

Jeez this album sucks, I was gonna give it 2/5 but the last track reminded me of why this album sucks. It makes me gag.

Aug 13 2022

This is one of the saddest albums I've ever listened to. It's a man, who knows he's on his way out. All the covers are phenomenal. I love We'll Meet Again, Hurt, In My Life. Jesus it is really beautiful. We'll Meet Again, such a banging way to go out. I had to deal with me being very likely to die too, so I respect how humble Cash is feeling about it (I feel way better now thanks to treatement, it was never terminal, never even close to it, but I learned how fragile life is). 5/5. Without a doubt

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Aug 14 2022

I like it, shame it ain't on spotify. Will check out somewhen. 4/5

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Aug 15 2022

It's ok, it has some good songs, it isn't my kind of music. 3/5

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Aug 16 2022

It's aight, some tunes are a bop but it begins to frag by the end. It's your standard music for that time. 3/5

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Dec 18 2022

I listened to it on shuffle :,( But anyways this slaps hard! I like that it welcomes me back to this project! 5/5

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Dec 19 2022

This album has basically defined my music taste. Before that I didn't listen much to music. I then fell in love with Michael Jackson and bought his CD's. For some reason I didn't listen to one of his albums in full. Somewhen, I started listening to GNR and then bought their greatest hits CD and then this album, which made me fall in love with this album. It made me fall in love with Rock music in general. This was the first album I listened to from start to finish. The Riffs are nasty, the solos blazing, the production superb. Axl Rose is one of the greatest singers to ever exist. I put him on par with Freddie Mercury and Layne Staley. Slash made me play the guitar, the moment where he steps out the church in the November Rain music video is the most badass moment in music video history. So if it ain't already clear Obviously 5/5, every track is a banger.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Dec 20 2022

Eh idk, its bland generic rock n roll. 2.5 really, but i can only give it 2 or 3. I think I might be a bit kind since it seems like they had a nice time at that concert. I am probably way to kind. 3/5

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Dec 21 2022

I like it, I don't know how much to give it though. I think a 5/5 for the sake of being nice. But I I only recently got into jazz a little bit so ya know what? 5/5

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Dec 22 2022

Abrasive, the kind of music you need when you're pissed off. The production fits perfectly. I listened to the EP + the singles. If I Think is fucking genius. 5/5

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Dec 23 2022

Meh, wrong album at the wrong time. It is ok though. 2/5

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Dec 24 2022

Jeebs, it is another one from the summer of love. What the fuck is C.T.A - 102? Renaissance Fair is a fucking banger though. It has some bangers, but I really ain't feelin it that much. 3/5

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Dec 25 2022

Jesus Christ those were the longest 35 minutes in my life. I don’t know man, it seems these were some tripping cowboys. I think a one would be too harsh, so I’ll give it s 2/5, since it isn’t a catastrophe, but it isn’t good.

Dec 26 2022

Wow, Phil really KILLED it with this one! It absolutely MURDERS all of it's competition! All Jokes aside, I listened to it on shuffle and I haven't finished it (I think). I think it's solid for what it's supposed to be, though it leaves a bad aftertaste in the mouth. 3/5

Dec 27 2022

Very dreamy. Sometimes abrasive. It’s good, though the jam kinda drags in a bit. You have to be in the mood for it. Still a good album. Not my cup of tea, maybe when I am depressed. 4/5

Dookie by Green Day
Dec 28 2022

Ah, dookie. The soundtrack to my life right now. I mean no contest, this is a hell of an album. So good. I knew it before but came to love it very much when my uncle showed me how much he loves it too. It loud, energetic and optimistic. It shows how fucked up things are sometimes, but it is also completely cool about it. The songs reach from good to absolute bangers. And its jam-packed with absolute bangers. I'm also glad it's that short. Would it be longer it would be way too repetitive. But you can pop it in for half an hour and feel great afterwards. I love it. 5/5

Dec 29 2022

Aside from the hits which are a real bop, nothing special. 3/5

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Dec 30 2022

I feel like me listening to this album triggered aomwthing in the world. Like I opened aome door to satan. At least I feel like a witch now. God this music is just way 2 nerdy even for me. I think it’s well made, but god damn it ain’t my jam. Now leave me with my tarot cards alone! 2/5

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Dec 31 2022

Incredibly beautiful album, it is very introspective and vulnerable. It has a healing quality which only someone who is very introspective can achieve. I hope one day I can write music as beautiful as Nick Drake. Rest in Peace. I will definetly listen to it again. Favorite tracks are At the Chime of a City Clock and Sunday. 5/5

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jan 01 2023

3/5 Because the first half sucks, the second one would be worth a 5/5, but -1 point for way to many sex skits, I am no puritan, but I ain’t in the mood of hearing biggie get sucked off. And -1 because of Who Shot Ya? Because it’s an obvious Pac diss and for me pac is the GOAT.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 02 2023

You know what, I had to restart the record like 3 times because I wanted to listen in one session . I didn’t get sick of it. In fact, I very much enjoyed it. I feel very charitable and this album deserves it with this prime demonstration of the blues combines with African musical influences. 5/5

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jul 26 2023

I am thoroughly impressed. This is a very diverse and fun album, what the white album should have been. The Beatles influence is felt there. Some gorgeous piano pieces like Everything Means Nothing to Me, or unconventional melodies for pop-ish music like Color Bars, my fav track. Will definitely listen to again! 5/5

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Jul 28 2023

See, I had to listen to this during the end of a 8 hour trip. I am exhausted and I ain’t in the mood for club music. All in all, I’d enjoy it abnormally hard if I was drunk vibing in a club. Rn, I still enjoy it, but I am tired, most objectively I could rank would be a 4/5

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jul 29 2023

I really enjoyed re listening to one of my favourite albums in my collection. It is from start to finish just electric. No words can describe how much it is. Favourite tracks are "Ace of Spades", "The Chase Is Better Than The Catch" and "Live To Win" 5/5 Absolute masterpiece of a hard rock album.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jul 30 2023

It is pretty aight. Some weird stuff, but also Tea In the Sahara is a masterpiece. 4/5
