Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement

One of my favorites. Found it in college and have listened to the album regularly since. Always makes me want to start a band

1-Star Albums (6)

All Ratings (139)

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Sep 12 2022

Dang, what a cool album. Metal, synthy, with a cool industrial beat. It’s fun and a great album to get pumped up to. Makes me want to go real fast in my car haha. A ton of great singles but a very cohesive album overall

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Sep 13 2022

Not what I was expecting. The album was something you’d hear in a blues bar and not a stadium. Not bad, just wasn’t what I thought I’d get. Enjoyed overall

Marquee Moon by Television
Sep 14 2022

Weird, funky, and a little dark. I enjoyed it and thought it was fun. Overall not my thing

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Sep 15 2022

Mellow and good listening. The album starts a little slow but builds up. I enjoyed it enough, something I wouldn’t have picked up normally

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Sep 16 2022

First I’ve heard of Q-tip. The album was good, nothing wowed me, but I enjoyed all the songs. Great groove, good beats and the lyrics were fast and fun.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Sep 19 2022

I would have never picked up this album by myself. I enjoyed it. It was angry and funny and had a great style to it. It took me a little while to get into but overall enjoyed it

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Sep 20 2022

Took me awhile to get in to this one. Kind of reggae, kind of funky, a lot of different styles packed into the album with a lot going on. Overall, fun listen and a couple great singles

Tapestry by Carole King
Sep 21 2022

I’m a huge fan of pilsners. Clean, crisp, and drinkable. They are usually simple beers flavor wise and not full of gimmicks or weird ingredients. Good ones are known not for their wow factor but more for their lack of errors. It’s hard to hide mistakes and off flavors in lagers. This album is a Pilsner. I can’t say it wowed me, but it was great highly drinkable music without any misses

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Sep 23 2022

I judged a book by its cover. Based on the name and the first track I figured this would be a bit of a gimmicky album and maybe a little silly. But it was a fun, sincere album with a lot of great songs. Made me want to go drink a Guinness.

Sep 26 2022

Surprised I’ve never heard of this album before. I would have listened to it a ton in college haha. Overall enjoyed

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Sep 27 2022

I tried. I listened to this album again. I’ve heard it before. It’s been on my mind a ton. I keep trying to figure it out, and I can’t. I don’t get it. The album art work and the beer are amazing. The album is chaos.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Sep 29 2022

His voice is fantastic. I was mesmerized by it the whole album. The music I thought was fine nothing amazing but good. I like that he seems to utilize his unusual vocals to play around with the sound of songs

Skylarking by XTC
Sep 30 2022

Expectations are a b. I knew Dear God and love the song. Knew nothing else about the band. Was expecting an angry punky gen x brit vibe and the album was a lot more like Sgt Peppers in the park on a Sunday. It was light and fun and the music was good. Wish the whole album had a Dear God vibe to it though.

Smash by The Offspring
Oct 03 2022

Fun and a great paced album. It was a great Friday pump up.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Oct 05 2022

Fun. Good solid music. Haven’t heard anything before

Oct 06 2022

Ice T? The actor? What a wild album. It was fun and funny and it was hard to tell how serious he being. This was my first time listening to any of his music and I’d put it on par with listening to Bruce Willis music

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Oct 07 2022

One of my favorites. Found it in college and have listened to the album regularly since. Always makes me want to start a band

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Oct 10 2022

Kind of a surprise. Kind of had Led Zeppelin vocals and guitar sound mixed with 90s alt rock. Didn’t blow me away but enjoyed the album overall

Doolittle by Pixies
Oct 11 2022

Great album. Found it after fight club haha. Punk and grunge and rock. A great listen

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Oct 12 2022

Recognized some songs. Never got into the doors. I’m not sure whyZ great rhythm. Fun songs. Maybe it’s Morrisons vocals. I don’t know. I dig the organ in a lot of songs.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Oct 13 2022

I love David Bowie. I realized that he takes a while to grow on me though. It definitely sounds like Bowie. Nothing stood out as amazing, but it all sounded like Bowie. Listened to it three times. Maybe just not for me or maybe it just needs some more time to simmer

Murmur by R.E.M.
Oct 17 2022
Woodface by Crowded House
Oct 18 2022

Mellow and good beat to it. Enjoyed it

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Oct 19 2022

This made me want to watch King of the Hill. This is the music Hank would listen to and consider great. I really enjoyed it. It was a great story telling album

Roots by Sepultura
Oct 20 2022

Great album. Great sound. Great power. Had a lot of fun listening to it.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Oct 21 2022

Delivered what it promised. Not but thing but liked the vibe. Something different.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 24 2022

Great. A lot of fun. Classic cash. Great vocals. Fun album and atmosphere. Enjoyed the guests a lot too

Pump by Aerosmith
Oct 25 2022

I like most Aerosmith singles, probably with the exception of the ones on this album. It wasn’t what I was expecting from Aerosmith. Like it was great rock with some interesting stuff throw in but it just wasn’t for me

Violator by Depeche Mode
Oct 26 2022

Dark and groovy. Pretty great.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Oct 27 2022

Hadn’t ever really given BS a chance but this album is great. Fun and rocking. The music and lyrics all fit the album well. Makes me excited to see if more Ozzy or BS shows up!

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Oct 28 2022

I was hooked right away, but by the time hour 17 came along I was growing a little exhausted. Fun and a great rhythm. Psychedelic and different. I had never heard of them but liked the music and the vocals.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Oct 31 2022

Thom Yorke has a pleasant ghost alien voice. Not my fav Radiohead album, but still great. I always found this one to be a little creepy

The Specials by The Specials
Nov 02 2022

Ska is interesting, but I’m not overly interested in it

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Nov 03 2022

Light and psychedelic. Was expecting something a little more aggressive but liked it’s mellow vibe

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Nov 04 2022

Reminded me a lot of Michael. But I was probably subconsciously comparing the two. Had the same fun energy as Michael

The Undertones by The Undertones
Nov 07 2022

Dang I liked this album. I hadn’t heard of them. After finishing the album I listened to it again and then looked at their other stuff. Kind of a rocking poppy punky style that was light and fun. Neat

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Nov 08 2022

Great and a lot of fun! First experience with Little Richard was Mother Goose Rock and Rhyme. It was a fever dream of a movie where Little Richard played a king or something. Half terrifying half enchanting we watched it frequently growing up. Totally forgot about it until I listened to this

Sheet Music by 10cc
Nov 09 2022

Music to listen to on the beach if you’re into voodoo and Paul McCartney in Wings era music. Surprising and very pleasant. Each song seemed to keep me on my toes as to what to expect

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Nov 10 2022

When someone tells you “think of the average car” and a 4 door sedan pops into your head. When someone tells you “think of an average rock group” and Def Leppard pops into your head. I like Def Leppard a lot, but they are definitely a sedan that has a sporty vibe to it, like a Honda Accord. Dependable rock

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 11 2022

Dark and brooding

Nov 16 2022

I’m about 50 albums In and this is my second Pogues album. Based on those odds I have about another 18 Pogues albums to listen too, which I’m excited for. The first album I thought was going to be gimmicky but I was blown away at the sincere and awesome attempt at Irish Punk Rock. This album was the same, but different. I feel like it didn’t have the highs and lows of the first album but it was just such a greatly constructed passionate album. It’s clear they have a live for the style of music and it sold me. Nothing was half assed. I’m a fan and look forward to however many more Pogues albums managed to make the list

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Nov 18 2022

Heard this band a lot. Was surprised this album was released when it was, always assumed they were more of a late nineties kind of band. Enjoyed the album overall but wasn’t blown away

Nov 21 2022

I didn’t know Courtneylove was a singer, not sure really where she came in the picture

The Stooges by The Stooges
Nov 24 2022

What a weird short album. These guys feel out of place like they should have been born 20 years later and been a heavy metal band. Enjoyable weird listen

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Nov 30 2022

My friends loved this in high school. I still don’t get it. It’s interesting, crazy paces, lots of highs and lows, intense vocals, erratic. Definitely unique and definitely interesting but I think a little too unconventional for me liking.

Timeless by Goldie
Dec 01 2022

Big songs. I can see why it’s on the list. Seemed like he was experimenting a lot and just trying to figure it all out.

One World by John Martyn
Dec 02 2022

Sounds like it was the inspiration for Dave Matthews Band. Not bad, just kind of jam music. I didn’t mind it

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Dec 05 2022

Jazzy and groovy. I liked this album a lot

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Dec 06 2022

The singles are great, but the rest of the album was meh. Wonder if I only liked the singles since you hear them constantly. I should probably give it another chance since it started off so great

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Dec 07 2022

Idk. The vocals weren’t as good as they were on her older stuff. Kind of a dark slow album. Not my thing

The Bends by Radiohead
Jun 01 2023

One of my favorites. I could Just Sulk about listening to it on repeat. Found it in college. I listened to In Rainbows first, and it led me to The Bends. My fav Radiohead album

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jun 05 2023

What a delight. I had no idea what to expect. It’s summer and hot and I was listening to a Bob Dylan Album and just not feeling it. I decided to give this one a shot since it was next in the queue and I listened to it a couple more times over the course of the weekend. Something very different and blew my mind in a way I wasn’t expecting.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jun 06 2023

I’m sure this is great I just don’t really know why. Maybe it’s a if you get it you get it? I can’t do what he does and I liked all of it, but I just didn’t get why it’s special

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jun 07 2023

Definitely a band from the 90s. Sounded like REM mixed with Collective Soul. Decent stuff but nothing too thrilling

Elastica by Elastica
Jun 08 2023

Eh. It was alright. 90s rock. Not very catchy and the vocals seemed off

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jun 09 2023

I don’t know why I didn’t realize the guy who wrote hallelujah would have a lot of religious vibes to his songs. Vocals were different, album was a bit mediocre. I felt like he was trying to say something or be edgy, but he didn’t do it well.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jun 12 2023

This one blew me away right out of the gate. Thought IH was going to be like a Barry white mixed with Chef but this was pretty big and epic and daring. Listened a couple times to it

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 13 2023

Dang I love Bruce. This album is like a vanilla milkshake. It’s just classic Bruce drinkable and every bit tasty. Badlands and Darkness on the Edge of town cap the milkshake, whip cream on top, cherry in the bottom

B-52's by The B-52's
Jun 15 2023

Just weird fun. I appreciate that they are themselves and make what they want. I get Rock Lobster stuck in my head often along with their other hits. Great fun vibe

Tommy by The Who
Jun 16 2023

I dig the who but never cared for this album. Bold in its concept I feel like it just misses the mark for trying to keep up the joke

Jun 19 2023

This album reminds me of Malcolm in the middle and 2001. I had Fatboy Slims Why Try Harder stuck in my car pretty much. Great stuff

The Clash by The Clash
Jun 20 2023

It’s no London Calling

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 21 2023

Had no idea what to expect but loved it. Weird and full and interesting

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 23 2023

One of my all time favs

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jun 26 2023

Great energy. Ace of spades is overplayed here, was pleasantly surprised the whole album is pretty solid

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 30 2023

After reading the reviews I’m gonna give this album another chance. 3 is a place holder

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jul 14 2023
War by U2
Jul 18 2023
Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jul 11 2024

Interesting. Not my overall favorite type but interesting

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Jul 12 2024

Funky and weird and I wish there was more of it

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Jul 15 2024

Solid. First Lamar stuff I heard was during the Drake Beef. Not like Us is pretty great, came to this album looking for more like that. Album was pretty good

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 16 2024

I got BS paranoid a couple weeks ago and lived it. Whole album was great. Had high expectations for this one and was let down. It got better as the album progressed but I was expecting a little more fire

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jul 17 2024

Had a great vibe and it was a well constructed album that all flowed well. Nothing really grabbed me, but the album was good

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 19 2024

Fantastic. Great vibe. Probably my favorite album from them

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jul 22 2024

Been awhile since I’ve really listened to the white stripes. Good stuff

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jul 23 2024

Had a ton of fun listening to this album. Love their vibe.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Jul 24 2024

Gonna brag. I hit 600 days sober and ran 42 minutes today. I was hoping for a great fun album to celebrate. This wasn’t it haha.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Jul 25 2024

A little disappointed. The songs all felt short and uninspired. They gradually got longer as the album progressed and a little more passionate. Idk, was hoping for a lot of “Get Free” power

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jul 26 2024

Was a fun and great listen. Just something different

Sea Change by Beck
Jul 29 2024

Kind of a folksy, Beck-ish, Sgt Peppers. Great listen

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jul 30 2024

Great vibe. Whole album reminded me of a vacation. He’s always an artist I forget how much I like

Lost Souls by Doves
Aug 01 2024

It was fine. Surprised there were two Doves albums so far

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Aug 02 2024

Jam bands. Honestly, it was a lot of fun.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 05 2024

2nd Bob Marley this week. Makes me really want a vacation

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Aug 07 2024

Great. I have NA Scum on repeat on regular playlists

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Aug 08 2024

Wish I had discovered this ten years ago. This band would have been a mega hit in Gotham City in 1989

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Aug 14 2024

Different but good. Appreciated the chances they took

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 19 2024

Better than I thought it be.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Aug 20 2024

Great album, great way to start the week.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 21 2024

Great

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Aug 23 2024

Pretty good.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Aug 27 2024

Liked it way more than I thought I would. Very solid

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Aug 28 2024

I struggle to understand the past. It’s hard to understand something that needs to be lived through. My grandparents would likely have been listening to Elvis and watching him on TV when they were teens. Scandalous swinging hips Elvis. My parents could have been listening to this. We went from Elvis changing pop music and rock n roll, to Slayer in a generation. Weird to think about the changes music will make in the next 30 years. Will it be so obscene that I can’t listen to it and forbid my kids from doing so? Or will I embrace the change and boldly go into the musical future. Album was solid. Blown away that it came out in 85, obviously. Got really distracted in the car thinking about the path of events that lead music here.
