Popular Reviews

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes

Black Crows hold a lot of strength in their work, this album is their first releasing in 1990 and rocks, standing as one of their best

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian

I enjoyed this one alright. Late 90's kinda chill acoustic hipstery sound.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

Sounds terrible and is not enjoyable but I feel like thats the point.

Dog Man Star by Suede

I barely heard what this album as, just kinda drifted past without standout tones.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents

Ridiculous, just harsh sounding and frankly pretty spooky considering the season. Its good bad music if that makes sense.

Enjoyable soulful vibes of which I have no idea

Really good energy and sound

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans

Not great for me, relatively hard to listen to but some good tracks

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 19 2023

Dec 25 2023

Parallels to The Smiths. I did enjoy the vocal and guitar harmonies

Dec 31 2023

Strong 50's showing from Fats, endearing voice and songs.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon

Jan 18 2024

High 3 star, more enjoyable than I realized and fittingly interesting for the turn into the 70's

Jan 19 2024

Morrissey steps out on this album from his Smiths group and performs well. I sill can't get too hyped on the style but it is enjoyable.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Jan 20 2024

Early 70's again, Tim Buckley tried another mix of style and the mix was ejoyable early kind of R&B

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 21 2024

Carole King is a powerhouse of musical talent and busted free into her solo career with this '71 album. Heartfelt, beautiful vocals and composition

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Jan 22 2024

Dr John laid it out an did spread his soul

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 23 2024

Costello is very talented at telling a story, setting a scene. He has stronger albums but this one does well

Jan 25 2024

Has a few hits and the band developed later to make more impact

California by American Music Club
Jan 26 2024

It had an interesting composition but mostly didn't stick

Jan 27 2024

It was an older style with a folky sound. Nothing that blew me away.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Jan 28 2024

A captured portion of Jazz from and incredible musician. Historically significant and a good time to listen through.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jan 29 2024

Great sounding folky 70's album with commercial success

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Jan 30 2024

Creative vision from Zappa, catchy yet satirical. I can't say I love the sound but its cultural significance and execution is strong

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Feb 01 2024

Really enjoyed the composition and prog rock sound that sounds familiar.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Feb 02 2024

I can understand what he meant by making a modern classic. Sounds significant and has a great vocal performance. Not exactly my country-ish style but good album

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Feb 03 2024

Best selling world music album and inducted into the library of congress. Sounded mostly like any other Spanish album but to the trained ear, likely much better

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Feb 04 2024

Its iconic and I love it through and through. Peeking the 90's rap scene and establishing G Funk

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 05 2024

Clearly a beautiful and influential singer. Enjoyed this combination of her tracks

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Feb 06 2024

They seems a little strong on the guitars for 68, didn't love their style

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Feb 09 2024

Folk pop from the late 60's was pretty good to listen to but nothing outstanding

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Feb 12 2024

Growth of Clapton and really hits the core rock of the time. The sound is rugged and paves the way for rock in the 70's

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 13 2024

Raw Expression from Bruce, but I still can't get into his feel.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Feb 14 2024

Aerosmith rocking the house and being a force of 70's rock. Their best album

Murmur by R.E.M.
Feb 15 2024

Debut album for REM, I know almost every song and really enjoy the style

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 16 2024

Nearly a 5 for me, this album is a party and a sampling heaven bringing forth a new level of sound to the time. It released in '89 but was helped usher in that new decade.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 17 2024

Enjoyable kind of dream -like atmosphere.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Feb 18 2024

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Feb 20 2024

Mystical and atmospheric. Enjoyed some calming tunes

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 21 2024

I really enjoyed listening through this album. Every song is iconic and dives into purpose and melancholy sound. Drove a turning point in late 90's British music

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Feb 23 2024

Sounds right on par for 1967, probably couldn't recognize it if I heard it.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Feb 24 2024

I barely heard what this album as, just kinda drifted past without standout tones.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Feb 26 2024

Influenced the start of Psych rock and set the stage for the Beatles. I think it is underrated by others. But It doesn't quite reach my 5star

Be by Common
Feb 27 2024

Enjoyable tunes and well produced

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Feb 28 2024

Really enjoyed the big band, hard to rank it by comparison with everything else

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Feb 29 2024

Im not into this punky 1990's groaning, but she keeps making it on this list.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Mar 02 2024

I really enjoyed this album and I know there is more to it if I dissected it. Easy to pick it as a 4 but it doesn't meet my 5 criteria, perhaps I should investigate more early 70's folk

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Mar 03 2024

Dizzy has a lot of skill. It was great to hear this album and get the perspective

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Mar 04 2024

Really whacky style but catch some traction at times. One hit.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Mar 06 2024

This is another decade maker. Its a beautiful collection of narrative, distinct and catchy vocals and the backing of a great sound core.

Mar 07 2024

Really good three for me, enjoyed the chill kind of spacey vibes to each song

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Mar 08 2024

Really hit into Rock and roll of the late 50's and had some hits. But overall, dude was a creep

Iconic and really shows how Snoop came to be

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Mar 16 2024

Strong 3, a few standout songs that I enjoy already in the 2010 indy vibe

Wild Gift by X
Mar 17 2024

Ahead of its time in punk rock, but not enjoyable by my standards

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 19 2024

Definitively sexy album, strong performance by an amazing artist, vocals and funky rhythm stand up over time.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Mar 20 2024

Extremely significant to Hip Hop, some tracks hold up. bringing forth the golden era of Hip Hop and onto the main stage.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Mar 22 2024

This is a high 4, it still stands up and rocks the house

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Mar 23 2024

Surprisingly alright, some songs worth listening to again

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 26 2024

Strange and interesting but good sounding! Strong 3, would listen to this again

Really love the big band style and this made me groove

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Mar 30 2024

Pretty good for the late 90's of electronic music but kinda trailed off for the second half of the album

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Apr 01 2024

Pretty good to listen through, it has some hits and made a good impact. It doesn't reach that next level of enjoyment for me.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Apr 02 2024

Can't say I'm a fan but the guy has a nice voice and spans many decades

Apr 03 2024

The Byrds are underrated and they display their talent here with the southern style. Nicely put together

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Apr 06 2024

Ground Breaking album that set the stage for metal to come. Enjoyable and iconic

Copper Blue by Sugar
Apr 07 2024

Pretty good sound throughout, enjoyed the kinda softer rock jaming

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Apr 08 2024

Pretty enjoyable style, would consider listing to more of them

Moving Pictures by Rush
Apr 09 2024

Incredible soundscapes created and Prog rock intensified. Drumming on fire. Really enjoyed the full album experience

Third by Portishead
Apr 10 2024

I suppose there was some concept they were going for, but I didnt enjoy it.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Apr 11 2024

Enjoyed the softer late 80's sound style

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Apr 12 2024

Strange and focused on this opera electronicky sound

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Apr 13 2024

Very much Prince, but otherwise didn't stand out or give me any major hits

Apr 15 2024

Beegees sounding album without specific standout

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Apr 16 2024

Pretty good sounding late 60's music but again, did not stand out

Apr 17 2024

I can appreciate the older mid 70's style but it did not break through for me

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Apr 18 2024

Pretty quick and simple, some good tracks of that love and touring performance vibe.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall

Decent early electronic beats, then just some guy saying random things over it

Arrival by ABBA
Apr 22 2024

Enjoyable mid 80s with dancing queen

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Apr 23 2024

Definitely enjoyed this Indian album, nuclear testing references and beautiful singing and style

Apr 24 2024

Enjoyed the kind of rapping electronic 90's style

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 25 2024

Enjoyable variations in sound. Pretty good.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Apr 28 2024

Major hits and culminated talent. Firmly enjoyed this one and Stevie plays almost every instrument on it.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Apr 29 2024

Enjoyed the lyrics and style throughout, nothing particularly clenched me though

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Apr 30 2024

Not particularly interesting sound to me. Mostly ambient synth pop from the mid 80's

May 01 2024

Its the Smiths, I generally enjoy their sound but it didn't stand out for me

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 02 2024

Very fine reggae album, one good hit, but mostly just vibes. Clear meaning in the songs that give this album depth

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
May 03 2024

For the early 70's this electronic music was doing something alright, not really my vibe though

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
May 04 2024

Really enjoyed the softer acoustic sounds and the soulful energy that comes through

May 08 2024

May 10 2024

Enjoyable late 90's chill kind of folky album. Incredibly popular in England.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
May 11 2024

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
May 12 2024

A bunch of noise that sometimes was alright

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 13 2024

The best selling Salsa Record of all time! Enjoyable and foundational it seems. Hard to fully understand, but certainly enjoyable.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 15 2024

Joplin shows a more developed side of her funk and blues talent. I can't say it really hit me though. Arguably her other albums were stronger but the impact given her passing was immense

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
May 16 2024

Rock Ballad style from the late 70's. I can appreciate Meatloaf more after listening. One of the best selling albums of all time, Nearly a 4 for me

May 17 2024

Really love the composition and style of this album. Real statements made and just enjoyable songs for me

The Cars by The Cars
May 18 2024

Iconic and enjoyable. Late 70's into 80's and sounds like it. Whole album is strong

Machine Head by Deep Purple
May 19 2024

Powerful and heavy in its early rock roots. Iconic, but I feel like its underappreciated.

Tommy by The Who
May 20 2024

Clearly stands as a legendary rock opera album and breakthrough for The Who. Continuous theme and interesting story throughout. Nearly a 5 but It doesn't make it for me personally

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
May 21 2024

Iconic and clearly a hit for the early 80's

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
May 22 2024

This album was so much fun! I really enjoyed the tunes and early hip hop radio style.

May 23 2024

A funky and fun party and ahead of its time. Prince poured a lot into this album

May 24 2024

Fun jazz rock album

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
May 27 2024

Rocking garage sound and some good tunes but not all the way my style

May 28 2024

Fun and made me appreciate her style more

May 30 2024

Can't say I knew what was going on here, this was not for me

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Jun 01 2024

Solid folky early 70's album. Didn't break through for me

Timeless by Goldie
Jun 03 2024

Early electronic that was pretty dull but for the time I think it held its own vibe

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Jun 04 2024

Fun 80's pop sound. They don't sound familiar and don't maintain very many listeners but there was heavy sampling throughout which was unique

Jun 05 2024

Kinda good and kinda rough to listen to. It'll even out to average

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Jun 06 2024

Mostly relaxing, nothing too standout. Has a good transitional 80-90's sound

I See You by The xx
Jun 07 2024

Enjoyable and chill, it had one main hit for me

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jun 08 2024

Absolutely incredible. Had to shatter the world up on release. Collabs, funk, pop, energy, had it all

The Man Who by Travis
Jun 09 2024

A really pleasant late 90's collection. Hidden gem to me

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jun 10 2024

I can't exactly get into Dylan, but the sound and lyricism is clearly deep and influential. Electric guitar comes in and opens a new avenue of sound.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jun 11 2024

I enjoyed a handful of tracks and it was a great solo album for McCartney

Jun 12 2024

Clearly an early form of Devo lacking the totally wild side. Overall pretty good. Singer reminded me of XTC at times

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Jun 13 2024

Nothing too standout for me. A little heavy but dull sounding album

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 14 2024

Brought metal into the main stream. Metallica at its best

En-Tact by The Shamen
Jun 21 2024

Pretty nice sounding late 90's club music. Sometimes it lost me.

Atomizer by Big Black
Jun 22 2024

Heavier and covering harsh topics. The sound was relatively decent considering but still not good for me.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 24 2024

This might be one of my new favorite albums overall, it doesn't hold the earth-changing rank of 5, but it sounds so well constructed and fun.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jun 25 2024

Enjoyable 2000 sample heavy beat kinda clubin music.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jun 26 2024

Punk rock sound from 1990, I'm sure this is influential but it's hard to swallow

Jun 28 2024

Rock heavy and leading the way into the 90's of metal without the frills

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Jun 29 2024

Indie Rock from late 80's but it sounds like its from the 90's.

The La's by The La's

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Jul 01 2024

Enjoyable and smooth sounding country

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair

Enjoyable 60s kind of pop without a clear breakthrough

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jul 04 2024

Jul 10 2024

I didn't enjoy any of the songs on this album. It kinda got better near the end but really bland for me

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jul 11 2024

Iconic and psych rock as heck. Two mega hits strung together with other support songs that hold the groove

Doolittle by Pixies
Jul 12 2024

Solid album with varying styles and some hits within. Its a late 80's Alt Rock that has a clear transitional decade sound. Not exactly my Jam though

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jul 14 2024

Significant Chicago blues artist post war. Great album with heaps of soul

Jul 15 2024

Solo WuTang member album with full features from the clan. Sharp lyrics throughout and influential mafioso style

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jul 16 2024

Hard to overstate one of the most popular Jazz albums of all time. Lifted by its track Take Five, this album is smooth and enjoyable throughout. Its unclear to me if it reaches the legendary status of influence that Im looking for

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jul 18 2024

Nearly overwhelming at times, a new departure for jazz music and a launch point for a lot of new styles in music

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Jul 19 2024

Really enjoyed this eclectic album. Summery sounds from broad influence 2001

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jul 20 2024

Kinda whacky background singing and overly singing female lead but good at times

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Jul 21 2024

High quality for grunge category. Influential and their most famous

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Jul 25 2024

Pretty enjoyable, wasn't all the way on board but good style

Jul 26 2024

Clearly a strong piece of black cultural sound and withstanding from 2020.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Jul 27 2024

Had some older but classic sounds. A 60's album from the 70's

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Jul 28 2024

British punk rock that had a decent sound to finish the 70's

Microshift by Hookworms
Jul 29 2024

Actually really liked the composition of this album from 2018, good song blending and had an enjoyable retro synth sound. Very under-listened

Jul 30 2024

Really great to get to hear Tom Waits. His story telling and live entertainment style were funny and enjoyable

Medúlla by Björk
Jul 31 2024

Rapture by Anita Baker
Aug 01 2024

Enjoyable 80's jazzy love songs with nice vocals

Aug 02 2024

I'm going for the 5. This album is stacked with critical hits and is a beautifully composed album. 1992 alternative music peak

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Aug 03 2024

Another iconic live set by Cash. Enjoyed the live banter and classic songs

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Aug 04 2024

Deep lyrical folk kinda alt/rock.

Aug 06 2024

Aug 07 2024

Start the the 70s, enjoyable variety of songs on this light and airy album

New Forms by Roni Size
Aug 08 2024

Late 90s bumping club music was an enjoyable composition of samples and sounds

Aug 09 2024

Some brits getting hyped and garage bandy about something. Not bad but ok.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Aug 10 2024

Enjoyable vibes but outside of my world. 90's West African music

Enjoyed the jam band and indie vibes throughout

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Aug 24 2024

Really musical and poetic, pleasant but not as enjoyable as I would want.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Aug 25 2024

Enjoyed the 60's vibes and fun style

American Gothic by David Ackles
Aug 26 2024

Very cinematic sound. Story singing. Clearly well put together.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Aug 27 2024

I quite enjoyed this one, it was well crafted and held notable commentary of the times.

Woodface by Crowded House
Aug 28 2024

Generally good and some slower soulful songs but I know there are better albums from them

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Aug 29 2024

A little whacky and kinda electronic for 1996 but nothing stood out

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Aug 30 2024

Enjoyable but not nearly the iconic vibes of Beach Boys peak

So by Peter Gabriel
Aug 31 2024

Peter Gabriel's magnum opus. Melody and African influence. Strong songs with love and joy.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Sep 02 2024

Punk rocking in the early 90's. Can't say I jammed with the style but its alright.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Sep 03 2024

Stevie just puts out such soul and beauty in music. Another key mid 70's album for him

The Specials by The Specials
Sep 04 2024

Really enjoyed the reggae strumming style of this '79 album. Defined Ska in its British revival at a tense time.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Sep 05 2024

Paint it black kinda stole the album, but other explorations into soundscape

Cut by The Slits
Sep 06 2024

A bit of fun and very early female punk

Lovely composition by the Steely Dan singer after the break in 1981, album nominated for 7 grammy's

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Sep 08 2024

Funky and fun, like a house party. Samples will echo into hip hop.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Sep 09 2024

Missy is Work'in it! Critical colabs and very consistent throughout.

Hotel California by Eagles
Sep 10 2024

One of the best selling albums of all time. Concept album for a more modern America 1976. Deep themes, great songs throughout and highly iconic.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Sep 12 2024

New spin on hip hop, brought power to new genre and withstands the test of time.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Sep 13 2024

R&B style statement album from 2021, it was alright

Sep 17 2024

One of the great albums of the 60's. Their best album. Smooth sounds and a couple enduring hits.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Sep 19 2024

Its so chill and exactly Coldplay. Many songs are recognizable and the vibe is consistent.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Sep 20 2024

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Sep 21 2024

Tom Waits carrying on about something or other

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Sep 23 2024

Relaxing vibraphone that made driving really chill

The White Album by Beatles
Sep 24 2024

This album has some of the bands best songs. Written during a time of friction for the band it really showcases the talent of these artists.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Sep 25 2024

I can't say I'm a Kate Bush fan, she has a creative and whacky kinda style

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Sep 26 2024

I loved hearing this album through. It really captured the Disco Era and hold up with its funky jams.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Sep 27 2024

Very popular within its context. Very impressive vocal skills from the middle east.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 28 2024

Love this album, David Grohl is a beast doing this himself, carrying Rock and Roll into the next century

Sulk by The Associates
Sep 29 2024

A bit whacky early 80's album, vocals were pronounced

90 by 808 State
Sep 30 2024

Considering this is from 1989, I'm impressed by the early electronic soundscape they were able to conjure.

Damaged by Black Flag
Oct 03 2024

I can't discern one song from another, what the heck is this dude yelling about

Quiet Life by Japan
Oct 04 2024

Stylish synth pop of '79. Pretty cool for the time

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Oct 05 2024

Early Trip hop music was good to drive to

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Oct 07 2024

Not horrible, but not worth the listen, kinda grungy sound

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 08 2024

Breakthrough for S&G, struck hard into the late 60's vibes. Serene and enjoyable.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Oct 09 2024

Enjoyable country singing

Green by R.E.M.
Oct 10 2024

Its REM so I certainly enjoyed it. It didn't push above some of their other high bars though

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Oct 12 2024

A bit whacky and their only album. Not terrible but not worth it.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Oct 13 2024

Actually enjoyed this more than expected, chill guitar and piano with sunny feelings.

Arular by M.I.A.
Oct 14 2024

Good ideas and breakfree style for MIA but did not connect as good as I know she can.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Oct 15 2024

Enjoyable Irish Rock with loads or drunken jolly. Best album by the Pogues

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Oct 16 2024

Tom Waits howling out another blues album. Certainly good at doing what he does but harsh sounding for me.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Oct 17 2024

The sheer magnitude of hits hard. Beyonce delivers another top album with defining songs and themes to power and elegance. I am not in love with her music but I can appreciate it.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Oct 18 2024

Ridiculous, just harsh sounding and frankly pretty spooky considering the season. Its good bad music if that makes sense.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Oct 19 2024

This one was alright, sounded very 80's and kept a good vibe throughout.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Oct 20 2024

Pretty good album, nice rhythm and rhymes for someone I have never heard of. Certainly sticks to the kinda vulgar theme

Da Capo by Love
Oct 21 2024

Pretty good grooviness and experimental in its rock and psychodelic nature, diverse lineup. I am a sucker for late 60's.

Oct 22 2024

1999. I mean come on this is one of my favorite albums of all time. The orchestral compositions, story telling and strumming is all so vivid. Only bettered by its Volume two Wasp Star.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Oct 23 2024

Alt rock that had a decent sound but nothing that broke though for me. Released 1991

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Oct 24 2024

Very grandiose and elegant with clean vocals. Depth of lyrics.

Third by Soft Machine
Oct 25 2024

Foundational prog rock-jazz fusion. Pleasant and good to drive.

Oct 26 2024

Iconic and hold a strong place in music history. Consistently catchy songs throughout

Pink Flag by Wire
Nov 06 2024

Easier to pallet punk band from 1977. Still kinda drull into my ears

Stankonia by OutKast
Nov 07 2024

Really quite an excellent album. Bold and beautiful, iconic and withstanding.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Nov 08 2024

Really enjoyed this album! Great composure and chill kinda 90s rock. One of my favorite discoveries

Nov 10 2024

This guy is a great producer and has lots visual and musical talent but the albums are always so odd and atmospheric.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Nov 11 2024

Actually quite enjoyed this more modern form of R&B from 2017.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Nov 12 2024

Chill atmospheric music that was very pleasant to work to

John Prine by John Prine
Nov 25 2024

Relaxing country and statement pieces

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Nov 26 2024

Whacky weird sounding atmospheric tracks

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Nov 27 2024

Enjoyed this album more than expected. '89 UK hip hop brought global

Nowhere by Ride
Nov 28 2024

Kinda ambient jamming music from 1990. Pleasant and smooth.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Nov 29 2024

Quite pleasant! Warm guitar with piano and flute at times. Very enjoyable

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Nov 30 2024

I love a good early 70's album. They used some classic sounds and broad sweeping songs that created intense soundscapes.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Dec 01 2024

Sonic Youth is not a band for me. Too harsh and droning

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Dec 02 2024

This sounded like a heavy blues and country album but sung by Africans, pretty cool

Forever Changes by Love
Dec 11 2024

Pretty enjoyable late 60's album with love and peace throughout

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Dec 12 2024

Kraftwerk lays down some hits for the 70's. They have an impressive techno sythn musical sound that is years ahead

Different Class by Pulp
Dec 13 2024

Some British dudes kinds soft jammin in the 90s

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Dec 14 2024

The original renegades of Funk. You can hear the rap influence from this 1986 album. Enjoyable and groovy

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Dec 15 2024

Late 60's jazzy/blues idiosyncrasy music. Influential for later punk/rock. Kinda whacky but ok to listen to

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Dec 16 2024

Black Crows hold a lot of strength in their work, this album is their first releasing in 1990 and rocks, standing as one of their best

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Dec 17 2024

Ok so this was released 2017, it is electronic and indy sounding. It sounds like its from the 90's kinda. I feel like this artist was influential in the scene but unsure about this album in specific

Dec 18 2024

A 1971 entry with the right vibes throughout. Relaxing and enjoyable flowy composure of voice and guitar. Founding member of the Byrds. Very mystic vocal heavy.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Dec 19 2024

So this is consistently ranked as one of the best albums of all time. There is a major influence in the course of music history that can be attributed to Miles Davis at this time and in this album, his best selling. Known for its modality, different artists had different scales to play within allowing for more creative freedom in their melodies.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Dec 20 2024

Bowie reinvents himself and comes to America. Strong tracks all the way through. Further proof of the legendary talent and pop

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Dec 21 2024

We got the Beat alright, they have their hit and did capture the essence of the early 80's but didn't really stick around to define much else.

Spiderland by Slint
Dec 22 2024

Bit of harsher American underground rock music for once. Still not good on my ears

Low by David Bowie
Dec 23 2024

Versatile moods and collab with Brian Eno. Emotional and darker. Of course made an impact in the late 70's and fed into the post-punk genre. I think this is critically acclaimed, and I like it, but doesn't serve me in the same ways

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Dec 24 2024

American Punk Rock from 1980. Shortest album to date, still harsh and not my thing.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Dec 25 2024

Smooth R&B album from the group, some good singles that stood out. Not entirely my style but enjoyable and smooth.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Dec 26 2024

Its hard for me to discern Jazz albums like this. I enjoy them but have trouble comparing them, this one from 1969 is ranked as one of his best. Foundational in the ambient genre. Totally smooth and perfect for my night shift

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Dec 27 2024

Neil Young has a classic sound (from Buffalo Springfield), this album is from 1975. A good mellow folky style, this album is somber and drunken.

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Dec 30 2024

A sorrowful and quaint country album from the 50's. Enjoyable and sweet.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Dec 31 2024

Pet Shops boys being surprisingly prominent in music history despite their laid back synth pop sound. This is their most commercially successful from 1987

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jan 01 2025

Surprisingly enjoyed this album, I didn't know they were from the 60-70's. Chill and pleasant and very very influential. Ranked #23 of rolling stones list.

Suicide by Suicide
Jan 02 2025

Not loving this one, definitely touching on harsh topics and it just sounded rough.

Jan 03 2025

Pretty good sounding punk album, female singer that had a punch but stayed on the right side of my preference.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Jan 11 2025

These guys do have a very early punk sounds for 1973 and can likely be attributed to feeding into the early genesis of that genre. A pretty good rough rock and roll sound throughout.

#1 Record by Big Star
Jan 12 2025

Enjoyed this nice sounding combo of early 70's influence. Pock Rock sound.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jan 13 2025

I really enjoyed this album! Of course early 70's that fed into disco and rap. Smooth as could be and good jammin

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jan 14 2025

Well this was just awful... loud screeching noise for an hour. Cool. But exactly what I expected from 1985 Psychocandy...

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 15 2025

Very good rock soul album from Neil. His voice carries through. Still not entirely my style though

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Jan 20 2025

British people yelling again, this one was on the better side though generally

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Jan 21 2025

Australian punk rock from '78. Much more palatable than others. I enjoyed this one a bit but I'm just not a punk kinda guy.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jan 22 2025

Had the one hit of Enjoy the Silence, but overall steady vibes throughout. Started the 90's off in a good direction

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jan 23 2025

Pretty cosmic sounding electronic music from 1994. I can't really comprehend how this influenced the broader scene but it was generally pleasant or weird in a cool way.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 24 2025

Elton is a great artist and has such a smooth voice. Tiny Dancer alone might have pushed this to 4 but I think its just generally good and not all the way up there as a whole

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jan 25 2025

I enjoyed this one alright. Late 90's kinda chill acoustic hipstery sound.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jan 26 2025

Enjoyable rhythms and vibes throughout.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jan 27 2025

This album kinda fell flat for me, very much focused on love stories and they didn't hit the mark on their legendary sound but still a great album that was an absolute hit at the time for its orchestral pop.

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 28 2025

One of my favorite albums of all time. Nas wrote the bible. I can't comprehend how this shaped the rap landscape and brought an attitude to NYC. 1994 was a good year alright

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 11 2025

This is exactly the kind of album that I am doing this project to hear. Made famous from Come on Eileen, listening to the full album fills in so much of the broader context of the sounds and energy from this band. Really enjoyed this one

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 12 2025

Really strong throughout, I enjoyed this a bit more than I remember. Critical album for the 90's

Elastica by Elastica
Feb 15 2025

Generally pretty good kinda upbeat punk rock

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Mar 25 2025

This album is contingent on the 17min song of the same title. Good track with great jammin. Otherwise pretty mild album.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Mar 26 2025

White stripes loud and rockin. Some experimental sounds and folky influence on this album took it in a new direction but overall a good time to listen to

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 27 2025

Absolutely iconic, the electric guitar finds a new soul in Hendrix's hands. Catapulting the music industry into the next age. Rock and psych and beauty.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Mar 28 2025

I clearly enjoy anything with Sinatra singing. So much emotion and big band sound behind each song. Easy to sweep you away.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Mar 29 2025

Willie is so calm and smooth, I really enjoy just vibing with the sound of his music and listening to the stories he tells.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Mar 30 2025

Kinda fun flare but not something I would groove to. They have a one hit on this album

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Mar 31 2025

1968 The Band feeling country, folky rock and building into the 70's. The Weight being the biggest hit. Diverse sounding and influential.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Apr 01 2025

1969, this album is exactly what beckons the sounds of the late 60's. Harmony and jammin with social presence. The Byrds x Buffalo Springfield

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Apr 03 2025

2000 album that felt like a late 90's club music. Very receptive and get into a grove. Solid to drive to. Early syths

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 04 2025

Some major hits on this album and plenty of Marley soul. Not his peak but right on par

Vespertine by Björk
Apr 05 2025

I cannot distinguish any of Bjorks albums. I think there were parts that I enjoyed but her style is odd and kinda annoying to me.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Apr 06 2025

Definitely a quintessential Hair metal album. Heavy 80's rock with withstanding hits. Nice to hear the other songs on this album.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Apr 07 2025

1969. I quite enjoyed the chill quieter softer tones from the album. Some nice xylophone as well.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Apr 15 2025

This electric pop french album from 2018 was unexpected. It was fine but not my style. I think there is some interesting components of the intersection of pop, RnB, electronic and gender/sexual identity.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Apr 16 2025

1972, Walk on the wild side. Song style like Bob Dylan. Talking some kind of weird story half heartedly. Not very interesting to me.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Apr 17 2025

1969 Beautiful Soul sound from Dusty. I hadn't really heard any of her music until this album but hearing her voice is instantly recognizable. I think this is regarded as a great album but I don't think it truly stand up in my listening rating.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Apr 18 2025

2000. Actually pretty enjoyable album, had some interesting chord progressions and chill sound. I would listen to it again. Elliot Smith unfortunately passed away early.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Apr 19 2025

1970. I think this has to hit the 5 based on its legendary status. It is withstanding and pervasive to this day.

Apr 20 2025

1963. This album was actually enjoyable for my ear with Bob Dylan being more folky and speaking his mind about many political topics. Not as droning and annoying as other albums.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Apr 21 2025

1974. Sometimes it seemed like they were trying to sound bad? Also not very country music as I would describe it. More of a British medium rock.

Dare! by The Human League
Apr 22 2025

1981. Actually pretty fun and goofy early 80s electronic style. Finished with Don't You Want Me Baby!

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Apr 23 2025

1995. Decent album, a bit of softer rock.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Apr 24 2025

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Apr 25 2025

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Apr 27 2025

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Apr 28 2025

1997. Pretty cool electric atmospheric club music of the late 90s without many vocals.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 29 2025

1992. The singer has a strong deep voice and they have a bluesy grit to them.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 08 2025

1978. Female vocalist with a heavier rock yelling vibe. Pretty good kind of jam for doing construction/cleaning.

Black Metal by Venom
May 09 2025

1982. Heavy rocking metal that seems pretty par.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
May 10 2025

All Directions by The Temptations
May 11 2025

1972. Soulful and funky

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
May 12 2025

1998. Kind of a chill country sounding album. Wilco featured on every song of this album as well.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
May 17 2025

1981. The Furs have held a fond place in my heart but never really crossed into my favorite lineups. I think this was a great album for alt rock and post punk which gave it weight.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
May 18 2025

1962. Iconic and groovin throughout. Southern Soul in a simpler time. All instrumental songs that stick with you.

Blackstar by David Bowie
May 19 2025

2016. Pretty ethereal album with enjoyable mood setting. Significant for being Bowie's last.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
May 20 2025

1973. This kind of slower paced soulful country music is enjoyable and easily transports you.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
May 21 2025

1997. More Kinda fun 90's club music. More spacey on this one.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
May 22 2025

1984. Relax! Don't do it! Very mid 80's sound that I enjoyed listening to the build up and breakdown from its central hit.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
May 23 2025

Tom Waits dragging his heavy voice through a carnival junkie melodies. Not for me but good for what it is

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 24 2025

1980. Not too noteworthy. Some gloomy post-punk Doors inspired sounds.

Fun House by The Stooges
May 25 2025

1970's early rock. Its got a rougher sound but held up alright

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
May 26 2025

Pretty wrenched. I can see the appeal if you were super freaky like that.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
May 27 2025

2008. Chill indie folk album that was popular back in the late 2000's.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
May 28 2025

2003. Relaxed kind of theater songs. Depth of story and sound.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
May 29 2025

2000. Pretty interesting to listen to a Country Opera type album. Definitely had a lot to say about the story of Lynard Skynyrd.

Risque by CHIC
May 30 2025

1979. Peak Disco music. "Good Times" being an 8min starter song can't be beat. This dropped as Disco became mainstream.

Roots by Sepultura
May 31 2025

1996 Screamo. This one was tough to endure. Really rough and loud and made me feel bad.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Jun 01 2025

1974. Kind of a fun Frank Zappa sounding story album. Very creative in its concept.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Jun 02 2025

1981. Early 80's groovin and social commentary. I kinda like it but it also seems very cleche but since its so early in the 80's maybe it is the trendsetter

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 03 2025

1981. British rock band with clear 80's vibe. More dark and mysterious. Decently enjoyable.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Jul 07 2025

1965. Their self titled album doesn't show up high on their own lists but it is a clear display of the mid 60's pushing into the rock and roll era. Enjoyable but doesn't show what they are capable of.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jul 08 2025

2004. One of my favorite discovered albums of this project! Very interesting style of Los Angeles. Multicultural and activist.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Jul 09 2025

1988. Softer grunge rock that lead the way into the 90's scene. Not bad but did not get there for me.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jul 10 2025

1977. Some enduring hit songs and overall solid story telling. I think this is Iggy's best album

Skylarking by XTC
Jul 11 2025

1985. I'm going to go ahead and hit it with the 5. This is one of the all time greats and the album I may have listened to more than any other. XTC at their prime

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Jul 12 2025

2007. Sounds a lot like the Gorillaz but generally pretty cool sounding with good production.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jul 13 2025

1994. A Hip Hop Legend with an album that will always remain. The immediate style and grace, depth and humor. How far could he have flown if given more time rapping? Its full of hits and its one of the best rap albums of all time.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jul 14 2025

1985. This was pretty enjoyable smooth sounding album with good baselines. Vega has a nice voice.

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Jul 15 2025

1987. Kind of a knock off Black crows sounding band without much zest

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Jul 16 2025

1994. Hard to rank these albums of African origin. This is West African blues guitarist that made a comeback to music after farming for years and won international album of the year.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Jul 17 2025

1958. A piece of Americana I suppose. I do enjoy some classic country music. Smooth sounds and stories.

OK by Talvin Singh
Aug 22 2025

1998. Indian 90's tech club music. Kinda fun but also whacky as heck.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Aug 23 2025

1997. Again, Primal Scream is not what is seems. Instrumental and experimental in its late 90's electronic rock vibe.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Aug 24 2025

1980. Prime speed and thrash metal. More gritty than punk metal. Pretty solid throughout without going overboard.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Aug 25 2025

1997. Pretty enjoyable late 90s clubbin music.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Aug 26 2025

1965. Shouting and hollering kind of early rock. So many of these tracks are totally iconic!

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Aug 27 2025

1994. Heavy with political statements but overall maintained its listenability despite going a bit hard.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Sep 21 2025

1972. Al Green being so smooth and groovy. The title track hitting #1 on the pop charts at the time. I think this is boosted because I just enjoy the tunes and soul. Its historic value didn't break the rolling stones 500.

Slayed? by Slade
Sep 22 2025

1972. Pretty enjoyable British 70's rock that I have never heard. They sounded tough at first and then mellowed out. Covered Janis Joplin.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Sep 23 2025

1958. Gosh I'm a sucker for mambo music. So easy to fall into and groove with. Big bands also have such a sweet spot in my heart. Tito was a driving force for the genre.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Sep 24 2025

1997. Interesting sound from English art rock. and Strange Jazz elements thrown in. Some songs were good but others lost me.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Sep 25 2025

1999. Awesome album, its not ranked by rolling stones but it close to my heart and is a notable departure for Incubus to dig into a softer alt rock sound to finish out the 90's.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Sep 26 2025

1969. I kinda enjoyed this psychedelic Indian cover album. Whacky and fun

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Sep 27 2025

1988. Interesting sounding Senegalese album that carried good beats

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Sep 28 2025

1960 Elvis is back from the war! He mashed to get her Blues and pop and rock in this 31min album. It was rocking throughout.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Sep 29 2025

1991. Cohesive and consistent. This is Tribe's best album and stands up as a display of lyrical jazzy bassy talent. Easy to enjoy.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Nov 07 2025

1971. Zeplin will always be a power house of rock! This is their most withstanding and strong album. Powerful and emotional.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Nov 08 2025

2000. This album is infamous and hits the core of the 2000 era. A new blend of rap and new metal. Vocally distinct and so much depth. But In the End, it doesn't even matter because major critics don't seem to acknowledge it.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Nov 09 2025

1979. Nice kinda post punk baselines and dischordant rifs. Weak 3 or a strong 2.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Nov 10 2025

1987. Decent enough English rock band.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Nov 11 2025

1983. Fairly good enough but didn't push into the exciting.

High Violet by The National
Nov 12 2025

2010. Pretty ok songs that didn't take me anywhere. Soft alt rock.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Nov 26 2025

1989. Nice funk elements of this soul rock blues. Good themes throughout that made it meaningful

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Nov 27 2025

1966. I enjoyed the folksy bluesy tones with a dash of psychedelic jamming in there

Drunk by Thundercat
Nov 28 2025

2017. Thundercat putting out an R&B Album with his bass. Many silly tracks and can drag at times but it does have good baselines.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Nov 29 2025

1997. Double platinum Scottish reggae and soul music. Chill and interesting.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Nov 30 2025

2002. Enjoyable album with some great throwbacks in its style. Conscious Rap music with great flow

Raw Power by The Stooges
Dec 01 2025

1973. Mostly yelling and rocking which was pretty decent.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jan 23 2026

1966. A nice hippie album that captures the essence of the 60s

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Jan 24 2026

1991. This album was really long and has interesting noise music elements. Kinda neutral singing in some songs and others that are unpleasant.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Jan 25 2026

1968. Definitely a whacky trip of an album. Definitely has a place in music hx but it is very dated to its time.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 26 2026

1973. Smooth and experimental electric jazz and funk, really chill and easy.

Jan 27 2026

1995. Tupac was really under a lot of stress with death around ever corner. He is so articulate about such intense topics. Vulnerable and real while being great to jam with and lyrically impressive. Tupac at his best.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Jan 28 2026

2006. Ghostface being the most notable of Wu Tang. This had a great narrative element with a nice mix of artists and style. Its not the kind of rap style that resonates with me but it did evoke an older rap style.

Harvest by Neil Young
Feb 20 2026

1972. Wholesome raw lyrics and imagery and a best seller for the year. I do love the era and soundscape.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Feb 21 2026

1981. Noise music that made my ears bleed.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Feb 22 2026

1969. Breakthrough album that represents what the Dead stand for. Live album with loads of jamin. But many of their other albums will outshine and give us something more iconic.

Feb 23 2026

1995. Anyway, here's Wonderwall! This is a really enjoyable album throughout. Multiple big hits that I recognize that sound corny because of the memes but are actually really pleasant.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 24 2026

1997. Nick Cave giving a depth of emotion in this gentle sounding album. I don't love his style but I can applaud the weight of the sound of this album.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Feb 25 2026

1974. I love Steely Dan and Im glad to have listened to thie album but unfortunately this album doesn't reach the height of the best that Steely Dan has to offer. I still love the sound and style but I know there is better waiting for me.

Mar 07 2026

1978. British Rock in the punk era. Shortlived but pretty fun to listen through until the lack of diverse sound drones on too long.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Mar 13 2026

1984. More British Punk Rock that has a rough and fast sound. All sounds the same on this album though.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Mar 14 2026

1996. Great debut album by Fiona, a well acclaimed 90's album with heart and a depth of story and lyric. Overall pleasant to listen through.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Mar 15 2026

1980. Its an enjoyable upbeat soul and blues rock album. Never heard this album but I feel like I recognize Stephen Winwoods voice. Definitely would relisten, strong 3

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Mar 16 2026

2009. Odd and ethereal. Slow moving beats and pitched voices chanting dark themes. Not bad but definitely odd and uncomfortable.
