Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oct 13 2022

Original notes deleted. But immediately what I think of when somebody says “90s hard rock” but not in a bad way. Enjoy how lots of songs build with long instrumentals but wish there was more of a pay off like on Soma which is the best song. Overall can see the influence on lots of modern bands I love.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 14 2022

An album where the sound is still distinctly Red Hot Chilli Peppers as i expected, but not in a bad way. Ignoring my expectations of the band or the culture around them, it is clearly an enjoyable album 4 songs in. Scar Tissue is clearly good and obvious why it was a hit. I don’t care for the talk lyrics in the way they do it, it feels ska? is that correct? lol but overall it definitely is a good album and can see myself playing it on a road trip but not necessarily an add

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 15 2022

I did not like this weird computer heavy influence over the jazz. Some of it just sounded like weird video game music, too long and repetitive.

Marquee Moon by Television
Oct 16 2022

Strong start, Friction and title track are very good could see them being adds after a second play through. I guess I don’t really know what “post-punk” means but was expecting it to be a bit louder, shout-ier.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Oct 17 2022

it was okay, a bit slow, wouldn’t listen again.

Glad to have listened to this album all the way through but don’t think it has much replay ability for me out side of the big hits, which are very good. The sound does seem to meld together a bit throughout the album but the song writing is good.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Oct 20 2022

It’s okay, feels a bit generic, mostly don’t care for the singers voice very forgettable.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Oct 21 2022

Interesting album some songs feel a bit long. Vocals are interesting but not for me. It’s fine but the 80s synth influence that creeps in I do not like.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Oct 23 2022

just don’t like 90s I don’t think, feels like watered down punk

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 26 2022

it’s fine

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Oct 27 2022

Almost weird I don’t think I’ve actually ever listened to LCD sound system. Strong start. I don’t know what the influence point is, but I enjoy the similar sound to Parquet Courts. It’s an add.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Oct 28 2022

it’s fine, wouldn’t really go out of my way to listen to it but good background music

Let It Be by The Replacements
Oct 29 2022

probably a precursor to lots of music I do like but don’t really care for it all that much

Picture Book by Simply Red
Oct 30 2022

no strong feelings, some is decent but not overly catchy to me

Live At Leeds by The Who
Nov 22 2023

I like live albums, but maybe I don't like The Who? Or at least not the entire album, but the energy is great

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Dec 01 2023

it’s cool but don’t think I really wanna listen to it just makes me wanna listen to wish you were here
