Vanishing Point by Primal Scream

If someone told me they hated this album i would completely get it, but i absolutely loved it!

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons

One's enjoyment of this i think will live or die based on what they think of the vocals. Musically i really enjoyed what was going on here but that vibrato reaches levels of comical where i had to stop listening cause i couldn't take it seriously. Most notably on the tracks where they layer the vocals so you have double the vibrato making an almost white noise of incomprehensible warbling. That said, the tracks where the vibrato is toned down and especially the ones with guest vocalists are exceptionally pretty and are the only reason i am giving this a 2 instead of a 1.

Is This It by The Strokes
Sep 06 2022

Album was fine. I wouldn't complain if someone put it in at a party but i won't be listening to it again. Felt like the tracklist was severely lacking in diversity.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Sep 07 2022

Tried really hard to give this album a fair shake going into it, having never particularly cared for Radiohead beyond a few songs. After a couple listens, it is a creative album for sure, with a few good tracks, and i can see why people would like it. That said i still walked away feeling like it was a bit of an overrated mess that went on way too long. Just has a vibe i dont want to stew in for close to an hour. This definitely isn't the worst album I've heard, there are some pretty decent songs I'll probably even come back to, but i seriously doubt I'll ever want to listen to the album as whole ever again.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Sep 08 2022

Had heard a couple tracks by him before but never dove deeper. Not really the sort of thing i would have normally sought out, but I'm quite pleased i took the time to listen. Good stuff.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Sep 09 2022

Wanted to like this one more than i did. Starts strong but i was getting real bored about 2/3rds of the way in.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 10 2022

Maybe a bit too folky for me at times but otherwise i thought this was pretty solid. If i was in a wind down mood i could see myself putting this on again at some point.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 10 2022

This was great and i will 100% put this on at a party in the future.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Sep 11 2022

If someone told me they hated this album i would completely get it, but i absolutely loved it!

Sep 12 2022

Rapping here is top notch, the minimalist beats and production, not a fan. I didn't hate listening to this album but i certainly wont be listening to it again.

Sep 13 2022

Didn't like this sound back then and 20 years older that hasn't charged at all.

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

Saw another review saying something along the lines of this is a terrible introduction to Neil Young if you've never heard his work before and I'm inclined to agree. This is the first time I've ever tried to listen to an album by him and it was one of the most tediously boring listens since I've started on this website.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Sep 15 2022

This one was odd. A track would start, I'd be really digging it then by about the 3/4th mark I'd be bored of it. There was a lot i liked but everything just kinda seemed to overstay its welcome. Probably won't revisit but i can totally see why he was such a big deal in the 90s.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Sep 16 2022

Enjoyed this one. Will listen again.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Sep 17 2022

Fine i guess? Without the context from the time the music here just doesnt hold up all that well. Not terrible by any means, not interesting either. At least the extremely short runtime ensures it doesnt overstay its welcome.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sep 18 2022

Grew up with my parents blasting this album lol. Not my favorite RHCP album but it is a classic. Holds up a lot better than i expected.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Sep 20 2022

An early heavy metal album that has more in common with modern day desert rock than heavy metal but don't take that as a slight. This album has a killer groove running through it and i am all for it. Having only heard the big tracks from Deep Purple i was pleasantly surprised how much i really loved this album. Definitely earned its spot on my classic rock playlist.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Sep 22 2022

I dont like GOOD reggae at the best of times and this album isnt even that. How this album ended up on this list is completely beyond me.

Hms Fable by Shack
Sep 23 2022

Just a mediocre britpop album. Not atrocious by any means but nothing worth mentioning. The musical equivalent of stale donuts at a convenience store.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Sep 30 2022

Fine enough i suppose. Didn't really stick with me in any way.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
