Play by Moby
Mar 01 2023

Not bad background music... not quite my cup of tea. I'd give it a 5/6 out of 10. Some of the songs were a bit annoying as they were super repetitive.

Mar 02 2023

Only really liked that one song. Had to fast forward through 2 that got too screamy lol. Didn't hate it overall, didn't love it. 5/10

Mar 03 2023

I'm a fan of Frank Sinatra... he's got a great voice so you can't really go wrong. This album was a bit slow though. IMO, he does better with his upbeat/lively songs. Makes his personality shine more. Still, like I said, good voice, relaxing. 7.5/10

I'll give it a 1 or 2. I skimmed some of it. It all sounds like David Bowie. The fast upbeat ones are the worst. One sounded like a bad mix of Sex Pistols and I dunno what.. something bad. Can't stand his voice ... Goes right through me. Sorry. He's definitely on my top 10 dislikes lol.

xx by The xx
Mar 05 2023

Didn't mind it. Don't know if it'd ever be something I would choose to turn on, but I wouldn't change it if it came on the radio or something. The songs did all sound the same. I think a full album was maybe a bit much for one listen and I may have enjoyed just one song more, but.. it was ok. 5-6/10

The Next Day by David Bowie
Mar 07 2023

It was better than the last David Bowie album we got, I'll give it that. None of the screamy stuff. So that was a pleasant surprise, but in the end it's still David Bowie. 🤣 2-3/10

Mar 08 2023

Wasn't bad... Only thing I know by her is the doin time song which I hate.. so it was better than that lol. Little bland, but good for background music. 4-5/10

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Mar 09 2023

Will admit I didn't listen to this whole thing, but from what I did skim through.. wasn't for me.

Mar 10 2023

I think we all know how I feel about 80s, 😂 This definitely reminded me of songs that would be on 80s movies. Not that that helps my rating... Just making a statement, lol. 3/10

OK Computer by Radiohead
Mar 11 2023

Enjoyed this one. Didn't know any of the songs (maybe heard one before). Some I liked better than others, but didn't dislike any. Such a nice change from what we've been getting 😂 8/10

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 12 2023

I knew a few songs. Not bad. Good background music. Don't love it, don't have it. 6-7/10

Ramones by Ramones
Mar 13 2023

Yeah.. all the songs sound the same. Nothing very exciting. Gets annoying quick. I can handle one song here and there and that's enough lol. 3/10

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Mar 14 2023

Agree, very chill.. good background music. When I saw the cover I kinda freaked out a bit cuz it didn't look like something I was going to enjoy. Would definitely listen to it again. 7/10

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Mar 15 2023

I was very pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting to like it at all, lol. But it was very chill. Each song had its own theme/sound so it wasn't repetitive like some. 7/10, which is pretty good for me not really liking this genre.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Mar 16 2023

i enjoyed this. it was fun that it had penguins in the name because it made me think of little dancing penguins the whole time, lol. 7/10

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Mar 17 2023

Yeah this was pretty bad. I was optimistic going into it. Thinking it would probably be average. It was well below average. Barely listenable. And that guy's voice... 🤮. 2/10

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Mar 18 2023

We listened to this in the car so it was kind of the focal point of the car ride, and a bit much. I think i would have enjoyed it better had it been playing in the background while I was crafting or something. It wasn't horrible, but wasn't great either. 4/10

Mar 19 2023

wasn't sure how i was going to feel about this one. started off strong - the first song was def my favorite. enjoyed cool waves too. the others, eh. its not terrible, but i dont think i would choose to sit down and listen to it. there was one song (half way through somewhere) that I had to skip halfway through. some of the "extra noises" got a bit much, lol. like i said, 2 good songs, the rest weren't bad - just not my cup of tea. 5/10

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Mar 20 2023

all sounded the same. i had it on while i was doing some work on the computer and the only reason i realized it was a new song was because it was over and music stopped playing, lol. its very repetitive and a bit annoying. 3/10

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Mar 21 2023

I have to admit I've been a little busy/distracted tonight, but I did have it on. I just didn't get to pay too close attention. However, I didn't hear anything bad enough that made me want to go change the song (which was happened before lol). A few songs I didn't think were too bad. I'd give this one a go again sometime where I can listen more closely, but for now 6/10.

Mar 22 2023

wasn't real impressed after the first song. i actually only listened to half of it and then skipped to the next song. it did get better after that, lol. i enjoyed kids and electric feel. nothing i can say i loved, but didnt hate it (except that first song, lol) either. 6/10

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Mar 26 2023

Enjoyed as background music. Her voice reminds me a little of Madonna. I can't say I love it and would seek out to listen to it, but wouldn't mind if it were playing. 7/10

Mar 27 2023

Better than I expected, still not something I'd seek out to listen to. Did enjoy the little sample that Sublime used. Overall, 5-6/10

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Mar 28 2023

Listenable. Wouldn't choose to listen to it. A lot of the songs sound the same, but they did have some slower ballads, etc for a bit of variety. The guys voice was better than most similar bands. 3-4/10

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Mar 29 2023

Screechy and annoying. 1/10

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 31 2023

I was pretty excited when I saw this one. And not because I'm a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. They're fun... I enjoy them, but don't LOVE them. I did however have this album on *gasp* cassette tape (showing my age there, lol). It's fun. Mostly upbeat. I enjoyed it. 8.5/10

Trio by Dolly Parton
Apr 05 2023

Some songs were ok. Others were too "churchy" sounding for me lol.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
