Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Dec 05 2022

The criticism towards society it is shown by the slow tempos and gloomy atmosphere created by guitars, choirs, and several drums. The vocalist uses his voice to set the tone and help lyrics achieve its message, short and repetitive sentences with strong words.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 06 2022

Interesting comparison to his dad's work, the fact that choir and church style songs were followed by some progressive dark psychedelic works impressed me

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 07 2022

The album felt close to metal giving american style from the 60s without being from the era. Guitar solos were spectacular and the energy throughout the whole project never decreased.

Debut by Björk
Dec 08 2022

Abstract concept and good incorporation of jazz into a different genre, lyrics were inciting but did not make a great impact, it felt like they lack some correlation with the instrumentation.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Dec 09 2022

Their voices were not pleasant to listen to, no innovation compared to other artist of the same genre and era

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Dec 10 2022

Paul's voice was more prominent than everybody else, mellow lyrics and soothing tempos resembling the Beatles style without showing great innovation.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Dec 11 2022

The storytelling in the songs added a plus to the experience, music was simple with well thought accents throughout the album

Synchronicity by The Police
Dec 12 2022

Different than what I expected the album to sound like, not all the songs are similar to every breath you take and they all have a unique character

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Dec 13 2022

I knew the album from before, there is only a couple of songs I liked from it but it is solid since prince plays the guitar in some pieces.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Dec 14 2022

The country style which was present in the album was easy to listen to and had some songs like country comforts which are mellow and calm with a steady blues beat

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Dec 15 2022

Psychedelic hip hop presented in the form of a regular day in New York

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 16 2022

Enjoyable, spiritual lyrics with only piano during the whole álbum.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Dec 17 2022

Melancholic lyrics, slow paced songs with some ballad/country/rock hints along some tracks.

John Prine by John Prine
Dec 18 2022

Country old west beats, the storytelling from the tracks make them very interesting with a moral. The vibe of the whole album transports you back into a wooden tabern with live music in a hot climate

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Dec 19 2022

The album showcased stories about unrequited love, the singer shared his view of life along with his feelings without any resent. Easy to relate to.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Dec 20 2022

Gothic rock, a post punk group wihch used the gizmo to give the guitar a more synth or classical effect in the songs. The album seemed to have a concept with the songs relating to each other.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Dec 21 2022

It sounded as elevator music

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Dec 22 2022

The album title served as protest for the pollution in foods, refering that not even milk from moms was safe to drink. Blues oriented and the band without having room to grow managed to express themselves

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Jan 02 2023

Great sound from the artist, unique soft experimental rock. Cheerful in the edge of being depressing, relaxed beats. Good vibes

Jan 03 2023

Rock album with jazz influences, tackling topics such as political war, lgbtq+, racism, with humor and abstract words. In certain songs it sounded like poetry slam or random words being spoken, sometimes through spacey beats others with rock and roll.

Bossanova by Pixies
Jan 04 2023

Indie rock, alternative, getting close to pop. In order to enjoy the album one must be in the mood of something calm and simple

2112 by Rush
Jan 05 2023

Rrogressive rock in the edge of metal. Great single track of 20 min, it does a great job immersing the listener into the world portrayed by the artists.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jan 06 2023

Alternative pop sang by a great artist with some rock elements, it felt like it had the same impact as Taylor Swift but during the 90s

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Jan 07 2023

Exceptional lyrics, jazz, hippie, classy. The way the words convey their message in a playful, romantic, and sexy manner is like no other.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 08 2023

The voice of the vocalist is sexy, heavily modified guitar rifts and bass, aggresive drumming. Garage rock, dance punk, this achieves to maintain a rebellious feeling throughout the album

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jan 09 2023

Rock and roll, tamborines, high pitch guitar solos, during its era I suppose it was a great success however its not very appealing to the music standards today.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 10 2023

Rock, Jazz, Blues, Ballads, psychodelia, a brilliant usage of chord progressions, rifts and secondary elements such as synthetizers to picture an alien or out of body experience.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 15 2023

Post punk, alternative, noise rock, great distortion in the intrumentation, pioneer in blending angular (larger interval jump) tones form the guitar with a bass in the background and drums resambling machines.

Vibrant blues, boogie country rock and roll, great performances, it sounds lively and its exciting to listen to due to the energy and spice added by a fun band of drunken friends.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Jan 18 2023

Country, slow tempo sort of psychodelic. Not my cup of tea, the vocalist sounded like he needs more vocalization practice.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jan 19 2023

Garage noise rock, made to be listened to at a high volume. Burning guitars and ferocious vocals

Sea Change by Beck
Feb 03 2023

Great instrumental work blended with electronic components, melancholy and yearning is present in instrumentation long deep strums, minor chords, and dragging low pitch/energy voice. Touches of psychodelic influences to boost memory imagery
