Blur by Blur

1 good song, the rest was just really loose and jumbled noise to me.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Aug 25 2022

easy listening i dont hate it, but i'm not in love with it either gets better the longer it goes on, i think i had to settle into their sound a bit before appreciating it

Sea Change by Beck
Aug 26 2022

I don't know who this music is for but it's certainly not for me. Mostly bored

Kid A by Radiohead
Aug 29 2022

got better as it went on. not used to random noise music but it was infinitely better than beck

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Aug 30 2022

It's a weird country pop fusion. It was enjoyable. She's no TayTay but she's at least not beck

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Aug 31 2022

the discordant strings were really interesting and the best part. I'm generally not a fan of groaning as a vocal technique which is sadly about all this dude was interested in doing. Sonically it was certainly entertaining to listen to but its definitely not making any playlists and I won't be revisiting. It's just too french. Skipped the live versions and remixes. I can't be bothered.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Sep 02 2022

Pretty boring ambience. No highlights on this one, just pretty meh.

Marquee Moon by Television
Sep 05 2022

uninteresting and boring

Sep 06 2022

I was hammered while listening and playing video games. It didn't stand out as good or bad.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Sep 07 2022

pretty decent, nothing jumping out as special. inoffensive to the ears

Mask by Bauhaus
Sep 08 2022

pretty noisy and chaotic at times but not in the fun jazzy way. other times its just very boring and too reserved. The only consistent aspect was the vocals which I disliked the entire time. Take a fish And a potato Hold the fish And the potato In your hand In your hand Put the potato In the fish Make it digest it Smash it up Smash it up Smash it up Smash it up This is how you make fishcakes This is how one makes fishcakes Smash it up Poke it up Fishcakes Fishcakes Fishcakes Fishcakes

Blur by Blur
Sep 09 2022

1 good song, the rest was just really loose and jumbled noise to me.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Sep 13 2022

jesus christ this was terrible

Sep 14 2022

Very pretty instrumentation, vocals were appropriate for the style and didn't sound like messy shit. Really pleasant to listen to, even the discordant and "noisy" bits. Probably not something I'd listen to again or regularly but really enjoyable the first time through. 4

Connected by Stereo MC's
Sep 15 2022

i'd be pretty embarrassed if this was what i was into. 2
