Surfer Rosa by Pixies

At times grating, at times transcendent. Bottom songs: none

Brothers by The Black Keys
Feb 24 2023

Pleasant listening but did not appear to be particularly inventive. Comes off as a blend between the Beatles and Raconteurs/White Stripes. Top songs: None

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 25 2023

Overall, not particularly offensive or particularly enjoyable. Top song: None.

John Prine by John Prine
Feb 26 2023

Enjoyable music. Sassy man. Bottom song: Illegal Smile

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Feb 27 2023

Hits and misses. Overall, just fine. Top songs: oh you pretty things, life on mars Bottom songs: changes, kooks

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Mar 01 2023

At times grating, at times transcendent. Bottom songs: none

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Mar 02 2023

Some shiny bits amidst the dull moments. Top song: ray of light

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Mar 03 2023

Enjoyable and creative. Kept fresh with some unobtrusive genre bending. Top song: The Sound of Someone You Love Who's Going Away and It Doesn't Matter Bottom song: Penguin cafe single

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Mar 20 2023

Its impact is undeniable upon listening, but in present context & through the lens of personal preference, each song appears to be an only slightly different version of the last, and the album ultimately falls flat with only Little Richard's clearly adept voice to lift it. Top song: none

Be by Common
Mar 21 2023
1999 by Prince
Mar 27 2023

Many of the lyrics and highly repetitive elements to the songs detract from the listening experience for me. The instrumental elements are enjoyable to listen to, particularly the less repetitive parts, and the artist's technical talents and passion are apparent. Bottom songs: let's pretend we're married, all the critics love you in new york

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 31 2023
Third by Portishead
