Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Aug 18 2022

solid album overall, hard hitting lyrics that are still pretty apt for some situations today, some of the hook melodies and sample repetition I found to be a bit grating

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 19 2022
Diamond Life by Sade
Aug 22 2022

Chill album with some classics, all in all not something I would generally listen to but enjoyable none the less

The White Album by Beatles
Aug 23 2022

Very cool album and kind of crazy how many good songs are on the one album, quite enjoyed it but not something I would listen to a lot

Aug 24 2022

Always had a soft spot for cash's cover of Hurt, and I also like I Hung My Head, the rest of the album is okay

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Aug 25 2022

This album was pretty good, enjoyed Wild Horses and can't you hear me knocking the most but probably preferred them due to familiarity

Rapture by Anita Baker
Aug 26 2022

Had never heard of Anita Baker but was pleasantly surprised, Sweet Love was a bop and the album was nice to chill out to

Sound Affects by The Jam
Aug 29 2022

was an okay Album, not really for me

Aug 30 2022

Can't say I enjoyed this one, could see some of it being background music in old timey movies but it was a slog to get through

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Aug 31 2022

very funky and still holds up, a lot of just background music but it was nice to chill to

The Yes Album by Yes
Sep 02 2022

Quite enjoyed this one although it was a bit of a strange one with the long form songs. they were pretty groovy and fun though

Faith by George Michael
Sep 05 2022

Quite enjoyed the music and the melodies but the lyrics were a little too horny for me to really enjoy

Sep 06 2022

A few solid songs, not the biggest fan of Oasis general vibe and the album felt like it dragged on a little but it was still enjoyable

The Visitors by ABBA
Sep 09 2022

There were a couple of stand out songs but overall I wasn't the biggest fan

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

Overall an enjoyable album, nothing particularly stood out except Bigmouth Strikes Again which was quite good

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Sep 13 2022

Interesting and kind of unique, sound design is really cool on some songs and boring on others, really liked the style of Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst

21 by Adele
Sep 15 2022

Really liked waiting for you and one and only love the guitar in lovesong two seperate acoustics playing in different ears took me a second to realise it was a cover of the cure

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 20 2022

Very funky and cool album, I could see myself checking this one out again in the future

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Sep 21 2022

what a strange assortment of sounds, interesting and really weird at the same time. Kind of a fun album but not something I would find myself listening to a lot

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Sep 23 2022

Have never heard of Fred Neil, didn't know he wrote "everybody's talking" but I really enjoy that song. Unfortunately the rest of the album didn't really connect for me

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Sep 26 2022

really enjoyed the instrumentation and practical effects though some of the songs felt like they dragged on Really liked "without you" Did not know Harry Nilsson wrote "coconut"

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 27 2022

Really good album and quite solid down the line rock and roll, enjoyable listen

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 28 2022

Love this album, Favourite songs being heart shaped box and rape me

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Sep 29 2022

A lot of really cool sound design and mixing, really enjoyed this for not understanding a bit of it

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Sep 30 2022

I don't know why but I find this entire album really unsettling, the way they play with dissonance and tension is somewhat unnerving to me, really interesting album but not something I would listen to a lot

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Oct 03 2022

Never heard of this band or album but heard a few of the songs, I guess that goes to show how influential it really was, Really liked Broken and Mothers talk of the ones I hadn't heard, and shout and everybody wants to rule the world are classics. Solid album

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Oct 04 2022

Very interesting storytelling, really enjoyed the intro sequence too, the music itself I could take or leave, there was some interesting beats but on the whole didn't do much for me

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 05 2022

beyond belief actually really hooked me by the end, I started it off thinking it probably wasn't gunna be for me but I ended up actually quite enjoying it though there were some songs that made me just wish they were over like shabby doll overall not a bad listen, probably not something I would come back to though

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Oct 06 2022

This was a really interesting album, the production value seems really low but it works really well.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Oct 07 2022

Solid album, I didn't realise Golden Years was by David Bowie, but here we are

Oct 11 2022

found this really depressing at the start to be honest, I don't know if it's just the lyrics or the music itself, and then it surprised my by becoming upbeat and kind of happy, enjoyed heavy metal drummer and pot kettle black

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Oct 12 2022

not a big fan of this album to be honest, I like a few of the songs though

Van Halen by Van Halen
Oct 13 2022

Solid album, high energy and fun, but nothing particularly stood out to me

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Oct 14 2022

not really a fan at all of this one, there is some interesting things going on but it felt really same samey to me by the end of the album and I was glad to turn it off

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Oct 17 2022

not particularly thrilling but good background music, enjoyed They won't go when I go

OK Computer by Radiohead
Oct 18 2022

I love the paranoid android intro I don't know why radiohead makes me uncomfortable This whole album is so good and cohesive but it leaves me feeling really on edge

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Oct 19 2022

Really emotionally tumultuous and interesting album, the songs are all solid and themed well but nothing really stood out to me

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Oct 20 2022

Elvis is Elvis and all, but this album just really didn't do much for me.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Oct 21 2022

what a weird album, can't say I was a fan at all

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Oct 24 2022

I think this one was good in small doses, struggled to enjoy it as a whole

Oct 25 2022

really enjoyable album, I think I enjoyed the back half more than the front

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Oct 27 2022

Didn't particularly love the lyrics of most of the songs but the melodies, composition and production were really top notch
