In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 22 2022

Highlights: Frances Heart shaped Very ape Tourette’s Radio friendly

Nevermind by Nirvana
Sep 23 2022

Territorial pissings On a plain In bloom Drain you 7/10

Is This It by The Strokes
Sep 26 2022

Bad blend of the white stripes and the smiths. His vocals are good in the gritty moments otherwise annoying. Very good at writing catchy songs not my style.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Sep 27 2022

Luna was ok. So was fooled again. American girl is good. Breakdown is by far the best song on the album. Doesn’t do much to fight the negative stereotypes of dad rock 4/10

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Sep 28 2022

Way too long. The only measure for rating each song is how catchy it is because their is not much else to say. Obviously it’s very influential. Mine was the best song and superpower was second. 2.5/10

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Sep 29 2022

Not bad given it was made by someone in arctic monkeys. Not a huge fan of his voice.

Oct 03 2022

Some fun catchy songs but too long and a little outdated. 3.8/10

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Oct 04 2022

Surprisingly tasteful drums some songs feel undeveloped but some good songs and overall nice feeling to the album. Sister of the moon is best song 6/10

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Oct 05 2022

A few good songs otherwise standard reggae nothing wrong with that

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Oct 13 2022

Enjoyed a couple songs and very ahead of it’s time and uniqur

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Oct 14 2022

Another album ahead of it’s time and underdeveloped but had some cool stuff

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Oct 17 2022

Checks every box possible for a country album. It’s a concept album, underrated and beautiful guitar, good production, nostalgic, influential, album length fits the style of music, tells a story, there’s a flow to song order, great album cover, beautiful ending.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Oct 18 2022

The hits are obviously great (in my life, Michelle, Norwegian wood) but some of the deeper cuts don’t really interest me

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Oct 19 2022

The pop hits are effective but I don’t like this kind of music

Oct 21 2022

Good production and drums but what are the vocals

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Oct 24 2022

Fun, consistent, you can hear their influences and who they influenced, maggot brain,

Fucking amazing album everything hits perfectly also one of my favorite album covers

Sincere by Mj Cole
Oct 28 2022

Very boring and bland electronic music

Back In Black by AC/DC
Oct 31 2022

It’s a classic but not something I would likely turn to and I prefer bon scott

Nov 01 2022

Better than I thought there’s some good song writing even though it’s very 80s pop

B-52's by The B-52's
Nov 03 2022

Nov 09 2022

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 14 2022

Dec 07 2022

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Dec 08 2022

Pretty uninteresting but at the same time fun?

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jan 25 2023

Aja by Steely Dan
