The Man Who by Travis

Trite garbage, with every song designed to reach as many episodes of Grey’s Anatomy as possible. Torture.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Mar 02 2023

Not really my thing. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Don’t like the big band light jazz.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 03 2023

It’s good music, though not really my style. Great vocal performances and didn’t get bored at all throughout.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Mar 06 2023

Some embarrassing lyrics and mediocre music

Fragile by Yes
Mar 08 2023

The songs are fairly well written but the production and mixing is so flat and lifeless.

London Calling by The Clash
Mar 10 2023

Kind of overstays it’s welcome but it has an excellent closer. Overall great album

Drunk by Thundercat
Mar 11 2023

One big pile of steaming meh

Different Class by Pulp
Mar 13 2023

Not really, my style, but I’ll give it an extra star for at least keep in my interest the whole way through

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Mar 16 2023

One of Led Zeppelin’s best albums. The guitar work is the part the stands out the most to me. Cool riffs.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Mar 17 2023

Good production but way too 90s for its own good. Did not age well and a lot of songs sound like someone mocking the typical 90s sound and rap style.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Mar 22 2023

This type of 80s aesthetic will always be nostalgic to me but my goodness this is unlistenable.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Mar 24 2023

Pretty crazy how Adam and the ants went from sounding like animal collective to David Byrne and David Bowie. Some songs were a miss, but I enjoyed most of it.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Mar 29 2023
Mar 30 2023

This album has half of all of the unknown songs I heard from my dad’s radio growing up. They probably should’ve worked on their editing, though.

Apr 02 2023

Typical 60s psychedelic tripe. Basically a lot of songs about drinking tea and spending time with your grand nanny. Some of the melodies weren’t that bad, so it earns a two star.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Apr 03 2023

Like Elliot smith, but boring lyrics and repetitive drab melodies.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Apr 04 2023

Not sure about those mumbling vocals, but pretty good instrumentals.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Apr 05 2023

A collection of great pop tunes that I used to listen to every day in my mom’s car growing up. There are a few stinkers in it though towards the end of the album, so it’s not perfect.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Apr 06 2023

Holy hell this shit sucks.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Apr 07 2023

I really wanted to give this a 4, but the lesser known songs on this album are below average and even though the hits hit hard overall it’s just pretty good

OK by Talvin Singh
Apr 08 2023
Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Apr 12 2023

Too much 60s psychedelic influence for my tastes. The Killing Moon is a great track though.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 13 2023

I really like the aesthetics of this album and there are more often good songs than stinkers on here. Feeling kind of generous on this one today.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Apr 16 2023

Kind of like the B-52’s, but only the lyrics and vocals are cringe.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Apr 28 2023

That single is atrocious, but I must say I was impressed with the rest of the album. Especially the last two tracks

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
May 01 2023

I was never a meatloaf fan, but I gotta say actually listening to the entire album wasn’t really that bad.

More Specials by The Specials
May 02 2023

There’s a lot of unique and sometimes trippy stuff here, though unfortunately it goes too far into ska territory sometimes.

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 14 2023

At the top of their game

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
May 15 2023
The Man Who by Travis
May 16 2023

Trite garbage, with every song designed to reach as many episodes of Grey’s Anatomy as possible. Torture.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Sep 27 2023
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 30 2023
Jan 16 2024

a surprising amount of great melodies demonstrating their creativity that would eventually evolve into Gorillaz

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Apr 25 2024

After bittersweet symphony, the album falls into a cringey mess with bad writing, lyrics and melodies. No thanks

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Apr 28 2024
Dookie by Green Day
Sep 20 2024
Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Sep 24 2024
Damaged by Black Flag
Mar 04 2025
Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Mar 07 2025
Manassas by Stephen Stills
