If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian

I found this album so boring, and that boredom transformed into irritation. It’s hard to explain. I just couldn’t stand it. I realize that this is objectively pleasant music so feel free to disagree but this was one of my least faves 1/5 sorry jare ❤️

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout

Nooo this was so bad 1/5

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 17 2022

Lots of sounds. Lots of guitars going wah-wah-waaaooooowwwww!!! 2.5

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Dec 20 2022

4.7. This album slapped me in the face with its funky baselines and electric organ. Idk what I thought the doors sounded like but this was not it. Jared and I strutted down the city sidewalks to the beat. I plan on doing some more struttin on 2nd listen today.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Dec 22 2022

I’m pretty sure this album was made entirely using the pre-set beats and kooky sounds on the keyboard synthesizer I used in Mr. Clausen’s 3rd grade music class. the groove and chill vibes were there tho. 2.5 stars for easy listening 🍃🌲✌🏻

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Dec 24 2022

Aside from being extremely ahead of its time on the issue of climate change, this album didn’t do it for me. Some songs had super corny lyrics, and honestly as soon as the song about feet (????) came on I was too confused to take it seriously.

Dec 25 2022

Makes me feel nostalgia for an era of hip hop I wasn’t even around for. Lots of energy, lots of ‘yeaaa boiiiiii’s from flava flav which is exactly what I needed. 3.7/5

Dec 26 2022

Makes me feel nostalgia for an era of hip hop I wasn’t even around for. Lots of energy, lots of ‘yeaaa boiiiiii’s from flava flav which is exactly what I needed. 3.7/5

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Dec 27 2022

I loved this album. Listened on the plane after taking some NyQuil and it helped me peacefully drift off the sleep. 4/5

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Dec 28 2022

Typically I don’t look at the group’s reviews before listening or writing my own, but this time I accidentally saw the dismally low rating yall gave this album before I listened. tbh I was pleasantly surprised. Some poorly written lyrics but I didn’t hate the sound. However the deluxe edition went on for an extra hour so by the end I was begging for it to be over so we end up with a low rating after all. 2/5

Fragile by Yes
Jan 02 2023

I had a lot of fun listening to this album. Short and sweet with lots of little guitar and keyboard solos. Some dank chamber music interludes as well. 4/5

Jan 03 2023

this album gives me kids-jumping-around-in-a-bouncy-house vibes. At times the repetition got old but for the most part it was one of the most fun albums I’ve heard so far

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 04 2023

I found myself rolling my eyes at a lot of the lyrics - sexual innuendos abound - and vocals sound like a wailing cat but the classics are classics so 2 stars for that

Opus Dei by Laibach
Jan 05 2023

One listen through and some googling left me wanting to learn more about this band and the cultural context. Loved the intimidating chanting and bullfrog vocals 3/5

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jan 06 2023

I would have reeaally liked this without the vocals 2/5

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jan 07 2023

The vibe of the early 2000s. I never listened to much Coldplay, the hits are nostalgic and his voice is actually really beautiful but most of the songs were kinda blah. 3/5

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jan 08 2023

Excellent from start to finish, listened 2.5 times yesterday and for sure will listen again 4.5/5

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 11 2023
We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jan 14 2023

Disco gives me life. I already had several song from this album saved, now I got to fill in the blanks. 4.5/5

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jan 16 2023

Sitar covers of classic rock hits…not something I would choose for myself but I respect the fact that it exists

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jan 17 2023

Beautiful and calming. Put me right to sleep on the train 4/5

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jan 19 2023

3.5/5 Golden Years earns this entire review

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jan 23 2023
Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 25 2023

Hungry like the wolf slaps but it’s the only thing this album has going for it 2.2/5

My Generation by The Who
Jan 26 2023

A mix of a lot of different styles coming together in a cohesive and enjoyable way. Loved it 4/5 + extra points for intentional stuttering

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jan 27 2023

I found this album so boring, and that boredom transformed into irritation. It’s hard to explain. I just couldn’t stand it. I realize that this is objectively pleasant music so feel free to disagree but this was one of my least faves 1/5 sorry jare ❤️

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jan 29 2023

This album had me so confused start to finish. I checked 3 times within the first song that the artist really was The Bee Gees. Song about having an orphanage full of 35 kids really threw me for a loop, followed by an ode to Thomas Edison. Then a symphony to close it all out. Idk what to say about all this but I guess 2.7/5

Faust IV by Faust
Jan 30 2023

Interesting with so many dif sounds and felt very ahead of it’s time 4/5

Queen II by Queen
Jan 31 2023

Loved it 4.7/5

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Feb 04 2023

Having never listened to Metallica before I didn’t know what to expect but I actually really enjoyed listening to this 3.7/5

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Feb 08 2023

~ The Wiggles do house music ~ Goofball lyrics with fun beats and silly sounds

Destroyer by KISS
Feb 09 2023

Never listened to kiss and was surprised how upbeat their music is. I think every single song was just generally about Rock and Roll music. I think it’s cute how much they love it. Overall an adorable little album 2.5/5

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Feb 11 2023

I feel like my dad would love this 3.5/5

Feb 12 2023

Extremely corny and melodramatic and way too smooth jazz at times but you can tell he really put a lot of heart into it 🥲 1.7/5

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Feb 13 2023

Nooo this was so bad 1/5

Moon Safari by Air
Feb 14 2023

A few excellent songs including one about me so I’ll give it a 3.2/5

xx by The xx
Feb 15 2023

Listened to this a lot in college, loved it then and now 4/5

Revolver by Beatles
Feb 16 2023

One of my most listened to albums thanks to a handful of Beatles albums being loaded onto my first iPod by my friend’s brother back in the day. An excellent album but as Bill Hader said I could do without the Balinese stuff 4.5/5

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 18 2023

Aside from a couple hits, I didn’t love this album. Surprised me considering bc Demon Days is one of my all time faves. I think I like the more hip hop influences gorillaz that came later 3/5

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 19 2023

Really enjoyed this one. Fun sound and a wide variety of styles mixed together 4/5

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Feb 20 2023

I feel like this band would be way more fun to play in than to listen to. Also interesting how Scottish folk music can sound so much like American folk music. Lots of fiddle…too much fiddle 2/5

Vespertine by Björk
Mar 01 2023

I wish I had started listening to bjork years ago, loved it 4.3/5

Gold by Ryan Adams
Mar 24 2023

Altogether not great 1.5/5

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Mar 30 2023

I loved this!

Mar 31 2023

Nice and twangy classic country. Something very pleasant about the sound of old country music but why they gotta talk about killing their wives so much 3/5

Blackstar by David Bowie
Apr 01 2023

I gotta be honest I really didn’t like it 1/5

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Apr 06 2023

Longest album ever but it didn’t get boring. Had me hootin and hollerin 4/5

Be by Common
Apr 07 2023

3/5

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 08 2023

It was alright 3/5

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Apr 22 2023

I actually liked most of it 3.7/5

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Apr 28 2023

I listened to this one many times as a youngster and this was the first time I realized that I dont really like it 2/5

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 29 2023

Somehow I thought this band was from the mid 2000s my bad 2.5/5

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Apr 30 2023

First half I didn’t love possibly d/t some anti 90s prejudice but by the end I really started to enjoy it 3.75/5

Drunk by Thundercat
May 01 2023

I don’t love every song but I respect how unique it all is 2.75/5

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
May 02 2023

I’m sorry Jared its just too much harmonica sometimes 2.5/5

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 06 2023
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 07 2023

I almost never do this but 5/5

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
May 10 2023

At first it was nice but I slowly started to feel like I was listening to the music from the full house theme song paired with annoyingly cute and overly poetic lyrics and I just didn’t like it 1.5/5

Smile by Brian Wilson
May 11 2023

Love those harmonies. Good vibrations is one of the happiest sounds to my ears 3.75/5

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
May 12 2023

Very nice, makes me feel like I’m in a classy restaurant 3.5/5

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 13 2023

Idk why but to me arcade fire’s music always sounds like it’s made in a post apocalyptic society. I think its because I was reading Hunger Games back when I first listened to the Suburbs album 2.5/5

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 14 2023

Hit after hit. Baselines so groovy I ignored the little squeaks and oohs and aahs that once bothered me enough to think I didn’t like MJs music 4/5

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
May 16 2023

I’ve listened to that one song a million times but the rest didn’t really sound like anything to me 2/5

Arrival by ABBA
May 19 2023

Dancing queen and Fernando could earn a 5/5 on their own in my opinion but sadly they were dragged down 2 stars by I Kissed The Teacher 3/5

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
May 22 2023

2.5/5

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jun 15 2023

Smooooth 80s sounds of the 90s 2/5

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 19 2023

Weird good 3/5

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jun 25 2023

Wild and weird and fun and I loved learning that our very own Susie rahn owns this album and is an OG Sparks fan 3/5

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jun 28 2023

They really know how to rock out 2/5

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jul 03 2023

One of those albums that didn’t sound like anything to me the first time I listened, but now that I’ve heard it a bunch of times over the years it’s hard to believe I didn’t realize how great it was that first time. Very nostalgic and sentimental feelings from these sounds 3.75/5

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jul 08 2023

Another near perfect album that fails to get old and remains interesting every time I listen 4.8/5

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jul 15 2023

So fun and lovely. Shocking news: dusty was born and raised in London!! 4.5/5

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jul 20 2023

Chaotic good 4.5/5

Dookie by Green Day
Jul 22 2023

Not my usual genre and I don’t think I would feel the same way had I not listened to this album many times as a child but as it is I really enjoy 4/5

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jul 24 2023

Pleasant, uplifting, classics 4/5

Who's Next by The Who
Jul 25 2023

The rest of the songs couldn’t really compete with the gloriousness of Baba O Reilly 2.7/5
