Dry by PJ Harvey

Packed with emotion, melancholic, but still interesting and melodic. I will definitely listen to it again.

Rio by Duran Duran
Aug 19 2022

Pretty nice, but nothing that immediately caught my attention. I'm a bit confused why some songs have more plays than others, because they were not necessarily better in my opinion.

Aug 22 2022

Nice pop-funk, but a little bit too clean for my taste. Not something I will regularly re-listen to.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Aug 23 2022

Hard, fast and fun. I just wish there was a little bit more variety in there.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Aug 24 2022

Packed with emotion, melancholic, but still interesting and melodic. I will definitely listen to it again.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Aug 25 2022

Exactly how I imagined a Rage Against The Machine album (never heard one before). Fast, hard and angry.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Aug 26 2022

Probably an inspiration for Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino by Arctic Monkeys. Liked it, but it did no catch me.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Aug 29 2022

I am really uneducated about reggae, so I have to go with my gut feeling about this. While it is relaxing and easy to listen to, it just isn't music I am really passionate for.

High Violet by The National
Aug 30 2022

Soothing and easy. Could be nice background music, but nothing I would listen to directly.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Aug 31 2022

Okayish for me. Nothing more to say.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Sep 01 2022

Generally nice and easy music, but sadly also kinda bland. I don't dislike it, but it also doesn't excite me in any way.

Faust IV by Faust
Sep 02 2022

Very weird and experimental, but I enjoyed it.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Sep 05 2022

Soothing and chill album with a nice voice and good guitar work. I like it.

Cross by Justice
Sep 06 2022

Finally was able to listen to the whole album. Would definitely do it again.

Aja by Steely Dan
Sep 07 2022

Really cool. Quiet jazzy with lots of groove, but also really accessible.

Sep 08 2022

Did not know what to expect, but it was really enjoyable. I get why George Michael is such a big name.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Sep 09 2022

I really like it. It feels like it was inspiration for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Some songs are feeling a little out of place and the whole album is somewhat incoherent, but I had fun listening to it.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

Somewhat mediocre for such a highly praised album. It's not bad my any means, but it does not excite me.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Sep 13 2022

Seems like good music and good musicianship, but it did not really catch me. R&B was never my type of music. I can appreciate the craft though.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Sep 14 2022

I think I would really like this if I was more into folk music, but currently it is more 'kinda nice' for me.

White Ladder by David Gray
Sep 15 2022

I'm not sure if I really like this album or if I just had a good mood today in general. At least I don't find it bad or anything.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Sep 16 2022

Not really enjoyable for me. But some parts are interesting, which is the only reason why it gets 2 stars from me.

Pornography by The Cure
Sep 19 2022

I don't know, but it seems like I can't get into post punk stuff. The vibe does not match with me and it also lacks interesting melodies.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Sep 20 2022

Cool and interesting sound, but I will probably need listen to it a few more times to really get to like it.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Sep 21 2022

For me it was too simple and bland in most parts. It would have been a slightly better album if it was shorter.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Sep 22 2022

I like electronic and sample heavy music in general, so I expected to like this album. While I got the vibe the most part, I think some songs had samples which were played just too often and the album itself was a good 15min too long for my taste.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Sep 23 2022

It was nice listening to it while working. I liked the vibe and could see myself putting it on again as background music. Solid 4 stars.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Sep 26 2022

I expected to not like it, but it was more enjoyable than I thought. The esoteric stuff is a bit annoying, but besides that it is kind of progressive and has interesting parts.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Sep 27 2022

Love that stuff. It's definitely not something I can hear all the time, but when I'm in the mood it slaps.

Sep 28 2022

I' not that much into Hip Hop, because hearing that much text feels pretty exhausting to me, especially on such a long album. I can appreciate the art, but it's not something I can listen to regularly.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Sep 29 2022

It was definitely interesting to listen to the origins of DJing and Hip Hop, but the music just does not hold up. So I'm happy that I listened to it, but I feel not the urge to listen to it again.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Oct 03 2022

Hmm, it is certainly good music, but nothing I get exited about.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Oct 04 2022

Until now I only knew Deep Purple as a big name in hard rock. The album is pretty cool, especially for the era it was released in.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Oct 05 2022

Normally I am that kind of guy giving shit like this 5 stars, but it seems like I finally found my limit of weirdness I can tolerate with this album. There is absolutely nothing that I can enjoy on this record.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Oct 06 2022

The first few songs were really intriguing, but then it got a bit boring in the middle part. The end was more interesting again though, so I think I will give 4 stars.

Oct 07 2022

Cool usage of samples and musical styles together with nice flow. Unfortunately I really did not feel it today, so I have to give 3 stars. 3 is minimum for music I can respect, but I can't give more, because it did not hook me.

Illmatic by Nas
Oct 10 2022

Nice old school rap. I am happy that I listened to it, but I will probably not actively listen to it again.
