Thriller by Michael Jackson
Sep 16 2022

There were definitely some missed, but the hits pulled it WAY UP

Sep 17 2022

Rounding up here. I think the album is a 4.5. Amazing sounding album however the first 3 tracks aren't on the same level of perfection as the back half of the album is

Woodface by Crowded House
Sep 17 2022

a pretty average album to me, nothing stood out too much. favorite tracks were: It's only natural, fall at your feet, and four seasons in one day

Sep 18 2022

The front half of this album is really strong, I loved the energy, the songs that didn't work for me were lost someone, and the medley. 7/10

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 19 2022

An interesting listen, I enjoyed what I hurt, however I will not be revisiting it

High Violet by The National
Sep 20 2022

i enjoyed it. 7/10 fave tracks: little faith, sorrow

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Sep 21 2022

i mean it just exists, i enjoyed some of what I heard but it was so stale 5/10

Sep 22 2022

there isn't a single song on this album that I dislike, which is why I rounded this up to 4, but I swear arctic monkeys have one sound and they do NOT deviate from it. I may have liked every song off the album but I was glad I was done once it was over. Every song just feels like more of the same. 7/10

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Sep 24 2022

I really like folk, and the good tracks on this album really stand out as some essential folk songs, Talkin' Bout a Revolution and For My Lover. However, the rest of the album falls short of greatness for me 7/10

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Sep 25 2022
Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Sep 26 2022

It's the kind of folk music that made me think all folk was boring and not good 4/10

I'm sure at the time this came out it was average, but with how saturated we are with good albums from every era this album is still just average 4/10

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Sep 28 2022

What is love is the only good track

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Sep 29 2022

THIS WAS BORING BOOOOOOO 4/10

The Next Day by David Bowie
Sep 30 2022

this is a boring rock album. i do not like it. it is very average 5/10

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Oct 01 2022

I was originally feeling a 3/5 on this album the whole way through, as there were a couple solid songs with mostly average filler, but my favorite track on this album, high horse (sucker for dream-pop here), made me round it up to a 4/5. 7/10

Diamond Life by Sade
Oct 04 2022

i know i know, semi-classic soul album, just not a fan 5/10

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Oct 05 2022

the most surprising record i've listened from this, this was a really good pop album. i really enjoyed most of the tracks, my biggest gripe is the songs that fade out :) 8/10

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 06 2022

i liked the sound and it was a pleasant listen, I will not be revisiting 6/10

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Oct 07 2022

noise rock has to be special for it to do anything for me 3/10

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Oct 08 2022

yes. this was good. i liked it 8/10

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Oct 11 2022

i don't like hard rock, i enjoyed the first two tracks 4/10

Sheet Music by 10cc
Oct 12 2022

The Worst Band In The World is an amazing song, and I think Workinonit by J Dilla samples it and makes it even better. That is the highlight track for me, and aside from Somewhere in Hollywood, none of the other tracks stand out, but it was an overall nice experience. 7/10

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Oct 13 2022

Merengue is a really strong track. but oh my god the rest is so incoherent. i like good plunderphonics and this is not an example of that. Duck for the oyster is one of the worst songs I've had to hear this year. 3/10

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Oct 15 2022

don't get me wrong, this is a really nice-sounding album, I just feel like it could give me more. nothing felt too groundbreaking or exciting, but a very nice listen 7/10

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Oct 16 2022

Not a massive fan of this compared to other post-punk albums, the whole thing sounds like a poorly mixed live album. Also, a band comprised of only white members having the n-word in one of their songs? No. 3/10

Ctrl by SZA
Oct 17 2022

I thought it was a pretty average R&B album, still enjoyed it 7/10

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Oct 18 2022

Great jazz, no complaints, but not blown away 8/10

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Oct 20 2022

Looking for a kiss was bad, kissy noises RUINED it. Otherwise a boring punk album

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Oct 22 2022

Gotta get up is simply an amazing song. I also like Jump Into The Fire, it was in the shaun white snowboarding wii game soundtrack and was FIRE. Coconut is terrible. Otherwise an average sounding album 7/10

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Oct 23 2022

I really liked "A girl like you" and "How can I be sure" It's a very nice and simple pop record 7/10

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Oct 24 2022

I know a lot of people like this album but it just isn't for me I suppose. Perhaps some of PJ Harvey's widely loved albums will make me feel differently, and I will check them out to confirm. For now I am just left disappointed by an album that I had higher expectations for. 6/10

Berlin by Lou Reed
Oct 25 2022

I wish I could say I loved this record like I've seen other people love it, but something about this album and The Velvet Underground & Nico make me feel guilty for not enjoying them as much as others do. By no means do I dislike either album, but I'm just struggling to see what makes other people value them so highly. Favorite tracks: Sad Song, Men of Good Fortune 6/10

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Oct 27 2022

Okay this is by far my most controversial take (I think), but I didn't like this. I didn't dislike it but it felt very average. And the UK version doesn't even have Paint It, Black. I know that's the accessible pick but it's famous for a reason. 5/10

Liquid Swords by GZA
Oct 29 2022

typically when I hear 90s rap I'm not a huge fan. but this one did it for me. I thought it was great and some nice casual listening. I might have to revisit more 90s rap with a different perspective 8/10

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Oct 30 2022

dragged on a bit. I enjoyed the first song. 5/10

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Oct 31 2022

Intriguing and energetic! What an exciting album. Some songs I don't love but wow this was fun 7/10

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Nov 01 2022

It is a good pop album, that's it, nothing really special about it Favorite track: Long Promised Road 7/10

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Nov 02 2022

This is a timeless rock record, and in my opinion, it is a greater record than Dark Side of the Moon. The album sounds flawless and absolutely deserves every bit of praise it gets. 10/10

Signing Off by UB40
Nov 03 2022

a lot of this album dragged on. i enjoyed the sound of it but it got pretty monotonous after the halfway point

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Nov 04 2022

Obviously one of the greatest pop albums of all time, and an essential listen. The best song on this album has to be Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God), and perhaps it is the greatest pop song ever. I find that the rest of the album doesn't live up to the astounding high point of the first track, but the rest does still feel like a great pop album. Favorite songs: Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God), Under Ice, Cloudbusting, Hello Earth 8/10

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Nov 06 2022

I love Steely Dan, and pretzel logic is a great album, I don't think it's in my top 3 for them though (that just shows how good their other stuff is) 8/10

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Nov 14 2022

pretty boring, and I don't love her voice, but I appreciate the music
