Sid Vicious’s singing makes me wanna hold my laughter in when I’m listening to this album in public, it’s too ridiculous. But other than that majority of the songs sound the same and blend into together, the only actual standouts to me were Anarchy In The UK and Submission (that one cause of the change of pace which which gave be a good break from all the hectic energy)

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Dec 08 2022

This album turned me inside out. At first I was intimidated with the length of songs such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-5 and 6-9, but they kept my attention the entire time and I was transfixed with the use of electric guitar, synthesisers and (surprisingly) saxophone. Have A Cigar and Wish You Were Here are tied for being one of my favourite tracks off this album, as they’re both equally amazing and up my alley when it comes to what I look for in a typical song. The cool cover art is an additional cherry on top to this otherworldly body of work.

Dec 09 2022

Fairytale of New York was a hidden staple of my childhood. Perfect music for if you're a pirate sailing at sea, but I had to stop listening after track 10 because the sound arrangement of each song was getting a bit repetitive for me personally.

S&M by Metallica
Dec 10 2022

Symphonic metal wasn’t something I ever thought I would divulge in, but the concept of it did intrigue me. This live album did exceed my expectations of what it would entail. The music is absolutely epic and cinematic. The addition of the orchestral band takes Metallica’s songs to new soaring heights, whilst still remaining faithful to the original material. Some of the re-imagined tracks can easily be featured in a soundtrack for a film, that’s how good they are.

The Doors by The Doors
Dec 11 2022

Jim Morrison has this effortless swagger when it comes to his singing, this is a pretty good album to listen to while driving to the beach in the sweltering heat. Interesting instrumentation throughout, but both Light My Fire and The End are way too long and could have been easily trimmed.

Dec 12 2022

Even though Johnny Cash is a legend and rightfully so, this album didn’t captivate me unfortunately. It's all very one-note.

An enjoyable space rock opera which encompasses varying sub-genres like glam rock, punk and a hint of rockabilly sensibility. This album is sonically reminiscent of the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack (although it predates the film by three years). Very kooky yet sentimental, with some songs dealing with the facets of the human condition; in regards to holding on to hope in an apocalyptic landscape.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Dec 14 2022

Quintessential American Flyover State music, but it’s nothing to write home about.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Dec 15 2022

This is an absolute treat for the ears. The subtle nuances with how the saxophone is played and the little hints of percussion in the background scratches that primordial part of my brain.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Dec 16 2022

I quite enjoyed songs like Champ, Back Like That and Be Easy due to Ghostface Killah’s flow and rhythm. There is interesting use of sampling, which helps to add texture to the songs. This album could have easily gone without the skits, as it was already suffering with a bloated tracklist.

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 17 2022

This instantly clicked for me. Contains the iconic song Heroes, as well as other standouts such as Beauty and The Beast, Blackout and Joe The Lion. I don't often listen to instrumental tracks, but I was able to immerse myself with the four ones present on this album (V-2 Schneider, Sense of Doubt, Moss Garden and Neuköln). They transition very nicely into one another and offer a unique ambient journey for the listener.

Dec 18 2022

Pearl’s Girl is the only song I liked, but the rest of the tracks didn’t leave an impression on me. They are too drawn-out and just sort of meander with no satisfying conclusion. Maybe I would have enjoyed this album more if it was being blasted through a good sound system in a club at 12 am while I was under the influence.

Future Days by Can
Dec 19 2022

Very atmospheric. I was very engaged with the sound production that the titular track Future Days didn’t even feel like it was 9 minutes long, because it passed me by with such ease. Listening to this felt like I was going on an underwater submarine journey, with the mellow vocals and groovy tropical beats. It’s quite a novel album. I would have rated it at least a 4, but I can’t see proper replay value.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Dec 20 2022

Solid 90’s alternative rock music (accompanied by scratchy, whiny singing). Been Caught Stealing, Three Days, Then She Did, Of Course and Classic Girl are a good run of songs. Impressive electric guitar playing throughout the album.

Radio friendly pop rock... but to the point where it feels bland and uninspired (which is shocking considering Brian Eno was involved with producing this album)

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Dec 22 2022

Brooding German electronic music which encapsulates my theoretical descent to purgatory from tracks 4 to 6.

The Slider by T. Rex
Dec 23 2022

Sublime Glam Rock, enough said. My absolute favourite songs from this album include Metal Guru, The Slider and Telegram Sam.

Dec 24 2022

A boost of serotonin in musical form. I will definitely be adding Empty Pages to my feel good playlist. I was shocked to find out that the lead singer of Traffic (Steve Winwood) is the same person who made the song Valerie.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Dec 25 2022

Immaculate, grand and refined. Prince was a modern day Mozart.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Dec 27 2022

Slowly becoming one of my comfort albums.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Dec 28 2022

Makes me wanna get up and dance. Perfect album for the summertime.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Dec 29 2022

A total snoozefest.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jan 04 2023
Dare! by The Human League

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jan 10 2023

This permanently altered my brain chemistry

Scum by Napalm Death
Jan 13 2023

The tracks need to be longer fr and the unintelligible lyrics makes me laugh

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 14 2023

Legendary, enough said

Black Metal by Venom
Jan 16 2023

Very poor recording quality, which is unfortunate because I dig some of the songs on a technical level

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jan 19 2023

Novelty album, interesting album concept but doesn't have much replay value

Blue by Joni Mitchell

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Apr 17 2023

I really like her work with the band Til' Tuesday and plenty of songs from her solo album Mental Illness, but this one just doesn't click with me. The entirety of Save Me >>>>> this whole album

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Apr 25 2023

Their music scratches an itch in my brain <3333

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Apr 28 2023

It's criminal for an album to be this good
