At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Mar 01 2023

Pretty cool hearing how riled up the crowd got by Pt. 2 of Mojo. Goodbye Newport Blues is very obviously an inspiration for Zeppelin. Powerful vocals.

Low-Life by New Order
Mar 02 2023

The guitar tone clashes too much with the other instruments for me to enjoy. Vocalist seems to constantly be dancing around the correct pitch. Almost sounds like someone singing karaoke. Overall a pretty unenjoyable experience.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Mar 03 2023

Very few people could make a 2 chord vamp for 20 minutes sound interesting and Keith Jarrett is certainly one of them. I've had a hard time getting into his playing in the past only because of how annoying his vocalizations are but thankfully they were very minimal in this.

Debut by Björk
Mar 06 2023

I had only heard Human Behavior before but really enjoyed this album. There's More To Life Than This is very groovy. Bjork is obviously a good singer but I like how her voice is also very raw and mistakes or missed notes are left in. The female equivalent of Thom Yorke.

Metallica by Metallica
Mar 07 2023

I'm not a big metal fan so the album is kind of a "meh" for me. Good production and performances though. I've also heard most of the songs before.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Mar 08 2023

The combination of Ella's vocals and the arrangements is perfect.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Mar 09 2023

Highly chaotic. The album art is a very accurate representation of the sonic landscape. I could see this being a very fun and energetic live show. Probably won't ever listen to this again though.

Mar 10 2023

I previously had only heard Time to Pretend, Kids, and Electric Feel so I was surprised by how eclectic the songwriting on this album is.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Mar 13 2023

I was blown away but this album. Very original songs and such a raw vocal performance

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Mar 14 2023

Fine. Completely forgettable

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Mar 15 2023

Good production and decent songs. Not my thing overall.

Mar 16 2023

Easy 5 stars. I've listened through the album dozens of times and enjoy it equally each time. Perfect.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Mar 17 2023

I can see why this is called the Sgt Peppers of hip hop. Some iconic samples throughout. I liked how often some of the beats changed just in one song.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Mar 23 2023

This is way more eclectic than I was thinking it'd be. Definitely can hear the influences they have on modern metal. Also lots of Zeppelin and Hendrix sounds

Kid A by Radiohead
Mar 24 2023

I like about half of the songs on this album. Some of the electronic heavy tracks lose me. Radiohead is one of my favorite bands though so it wasn't unbearable

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Mar 27 2023
Music by Madonna
Mar 29 2023

I hate this. Shitty club backbeats ruin most songs for me.

Mar 30 2023

Sounds very similar to Tears for Fears. I'm sure this band was an inspiration for them.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 06 2023

Not a fan of shoegaze. Vocals were way too quiet

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Apr 07 2023

I'm sure this music would have an extra level of impact if I understood the language. Really good grooves

Truth by Jeff Beck
Apr 28 2023
So by Peter Gabriel
May 08 2023
GI by Germs
Jun 02 2023
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jun 23 2023
Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 26 2023
