Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

Nick Cave wrote this album after losing his son. It’s beautiful and haunting. I’m glad I happened upon it. Absolutely stunning.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

First track was strange. Why is the first track on an album almost always filler? Crosstown Traffic is an absolute banger. It’s weird that I’ve never actually listened to a Hendrix album.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

This was an easy listen. Cat Stevens has a fairly unique voice and the music is pretty standard stuff. I’m sure it was much more unique then. Seems like singer/songwriters are everywhere now in this style. Again, I’d never listened to one of his albums completely. Always just the singles and popular cuts. Those are the best songs on this album but it was still a good listen.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

I went in with high expectations because this is the kind of music I enjoy. I left with a mixed bag. 4 songs on this album are legitimate great. Shout, Broken, EWTRTW, and Head over Heels. The rest is absolute drivel. Not even a saxophone could save all of the one note filler. Still, 3 of these songs are absolute pop mainstays. That’s impressive.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

4/5

This album is an absolute masterclass. I didn’t know I was a big George Harrison fan until today. Any album that has this much material is bound to have filler and it did but there’s so much to like here. No album should be 2 hours long though. That’s absurd.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

2/5

Not for me.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

This is absolutely amazing kitsch. The production is fantastic and Meat Loaf has great range.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

3/5

Pretty solid album. First two tracks are great. The end gets a little flat but it works.

Woodface

Crowded House

4/5

Really like this album. Fall at your feet is my favorite track but it’s all listenable. Introduced me to a new band I like.

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

4/5

Absolutely amazing production on this album. Couple that with a killer set of pipes and you get a very solid pop album. Rhythm Nation and Escapade are timeless jams. Rest of the album is more than solid. It’s not the type of music I listen to daily but I recognize excellent pop when I hear it.

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

2/5

Naw. This album isn’t it.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

3/5

It was fine but not spectacular

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

3/5

I only listened to half. It was decent.

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

1/5

This is the first time I was completely bored from beginning to end. Dreadful

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

All the songs were short, sweet and inoffensive. Def. Not the best Beatles but it was good.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Since I’ve Been Loving You. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

3/5

It had moments. Some of it was very listenable but Jarvis Cockers voice can be a little grating IMO.

Blur

3/5

Getting a little tired of the 90s Brit alternative stuff

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

This album is amazing. It was amazing then and always will be. It hits right off the rip and never lets up. Complete classic.

Pornography

The Cure

3/5

I like The Cure.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

3/5

It made good background noise while cooking.

Atomizer

Big Black

3/5

I actually enjoyed this more than I figured I would. It wasn’t amazing but the drum machine was cool and it rolled along.

Orbital 2

Orbital

2/5

This was very boring and uninspired imo.

More Specials

The Specials

2/5

This is Ska and I’m not a fan. I’ve heard worse but this just not really my kind of music.

Violent Femmes

4/5

This is a great alternative album. I’ve included it in my library.

Teen Dream

Beach House

3/5

I like this band but this isn’t the album I lean toward. The next two are much more complete.

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

3/5

I listened to this on my air pods at work. It was soothing and sounded good. Not very exciting but it was okay.

5/5

Nick Cave wrote this album after losing his son. It’s beautiful and haunting. I’m glad I happened upon it. Absolutely stunning.

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

4/5

I didn’t need to even listen. I’ve heard this album 1000 times already. D’Angelo is a master of his craft and this album is a classic.

Roxy Music

First time listening to Roxy music. I actually really enjoyed it.

Adele
