Casanova by The Divine Comedy

This album was… not my jam. Sounded like some off brand Bowie wrote some insane score to a musical and arranged the songs out of order.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream

It’s chaotic. The first half sounds like it was written by a bunch of super high kids who were fascinated by all of the new sound effects uploaded into their synth who made a collective pact to use as many of them in every song as possible. And the second half is like weird bird noises and people snoring over what I imagine they play in opium dens. Super “vibey” but not in a cool way. I hate it. It’s definitely a psychedelic album and I can say with certainly I’ve never been as high as these people.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Sep 08 2022

Enjoyed the instrumentation on this album but found the tracks overall to be a little monolithic. The lyrics and vocals were, candidly, whiney. An album professing unrequited love in near atonality and watery musicality. Not exactly my vibe.

Faith by George Michael
Sep 09 2022

Classic 80s sound. Good mix in styles of songs. Generally enjoyable listen but wouldn’t listen through again.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 10 2022

Pretty classically 80s British pop punk. Not a bad listen overall.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream

Moon Safari by Air
Sep 12 2022

Id say this album is “fine.” A lot of the songs sound about the same. Easy listening.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 13 2022

Great listen all the way through - so many bangers. Lively, percussive instrumentals serve as a lovely counterpoint to the gritty vocals. Classic CCR sound. Would listen again.

Scum by Napalm Death
Sep 15 2022

Not exactly my vibe. Don’t love being yelled at but the instrumentals were impressive.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Sep 16 2022

Preferred the first half of the album, which was more rock centric to the more country/bluegrass vibes of the second half. Reminiscent of what was to become with Crosby stills Nash and young. Acid rock meets the stones with a fiddle in the middle.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Sep 17 2022

Clearly a time piece and operatic in nature. A fun listen but kind of depressing. Understood the light show thing for the first time.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Sep 18 2022

I just personally really dislike his voice. Instrumentation was… fine. His songs all kind of sound the same.

Sep 19 2022

Good lyrics, interesting tunes. A staple album filled with psychedelic notes of self exploration.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 20 2022

Pleasant and easy listening from start to finish. Pretty emotional.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Sep 21 2022

This album was… not my jam. Sounded like some off brand Bowie wrote some insane score to a musical and arranged the songs out of order.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Sep 22 2022

Jam band album. Personally just more of an in studio album Vs recorded in this type of environment. Cool to hear the 11 min version but cooler to hear the distilled intentional version. Not a bad listen overall. Would not listen again.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Sep 23 2022

Not my fave album of hers. A few bangers. Overall kind of desperate and whiney lyrically.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Sep 24 2022

You can really sense the late 70s early 80s vibe of this album from production to instrumentation. This album was solidly okay.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Sep 26 2022

Theatrical rock with haunting female vocals.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Sep 27 2022

More southern rock and metal influence to this Vs other Aerosmith albums. A quick fun listen.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Sep 30 2022

New achey futuristic album dedicated to the hostile takeover of evil robots. Ethereal and chill sounding despite the lyrical content.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Oct 04 2022
Signing Off by UB40
Oct 05 2022

A little redundant but overall a pleasant listen.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Oct 07 2022

Instrumentally compelling with a consistent sound throughout

Violator by Depeche Mode
Oct 10 2022

Fine album just not my jam.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Oct 11 2022

Fun mix of covers and originals in an instrumental format.

Dec 08 2022

Important message but musically a bit dissonant for my liking.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Dec 09 2022

New agey

Face to Face by The Kinks
Dec 12 2022

A little repetitive. Wouldn’t listen again.
