Ys by Joanna Newsom

The way she sings is quite similar to Björk, and I really like Björk but in this instance I feel like it's detracting from the music immensely. I really like this project except for her vocals. It's a shame.

Play by Moby
Mar 02 2023

Love the piano on Honey, it is quite repetitive though Okay so I assume this album is gonna be very repetitive. Even though the music is quite strong I feel like the repetitiveness is gonna get annoying quite fast for me personally. I feel like I'll quite enjoy this album but not enough to where I'll actually listen to any of it by itself. I'm now at Everloving and I was right lol. Most of the songs now are fine but it's getting stale. Yeah I was really done with it for the final couple of songs. The repetitiveness works well for the first half or so and I assume they'll be fine to listen to when listened to on their own but a whole album is too much for me.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Mar 03 2023

It's rock alright. It's fine but it doesn't excite me that much? Don't Let Me Down is boring. Yeah I mean it's rock alright.

Faith by George Michael
Mar 06 2023

I don't think I've ever listened to Faith the song or the album. It's pop that is good but I haven't heard anything yet that makes me think damn. Yeah it's fine.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 07 2023

Sexy What's Going On, what's not to love?

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Mar 08 2023

Didn't know this is the album You Make Me Feel came from. It's a great record, she's has an amazing vocal performance. I'm more of a fan of the groovy songs on here.

The Yes Album by Yes
Mar 09 2023

It's good music, just didn't necessarily click with me sadly.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 13 2023
It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 14 2023

Did not click with me at all. I can see how other people enjoy it though.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 15 2023

Great!

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Mar 16 2023

I love this album! A great album for a nice relaxed evening.

Repeater by Fugazi
Mar 22 2023

I'm not a huge fan of the vocals, which kind of ruin the project for me. I do like the instrumentals.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Mar 24 2023

There's some songs on here that I enjoy like "Sunday Shining" and "Supreme I Preme", but the rest of it is either a bit boring or doesn't make me feel much. I hate "I Need a Lover".

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Mar 29 2023

More like a 3.5 but it was a bit too same-y and for me. I can see how this could be your favourite album though!

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Apr 03 2023

Very pleasantly surprised by this one, I had seen the cover of it before and thought it looked cool but never gave it a shot. Glad it showed up in the list!

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Apr 06 2023

Apparently it's supposed to sound bad, that doesn't mean I'll enjoy it because it still sounds bad. Had a good moment here and there.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Apr 07 2023
Zombie by Fela Kuti
Apr 12 2023

Not what I usually listen to, but thoroughly enjoyed it!

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Apr 14 2023

It's more of a 3.5, but the mix really bothers me enough to make it a 3 and not a 4.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Apr 17 2023

Great for a nice evening!

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Apr 18 2023

This is really a 3.5 but it's more towards a 4 than a 3. Mostly great with some really fun moments, but I have no words for No Words.

Apr 19 2023

I already knew Supermassive Black Hole, which I actually quite liked. The rest of the album is too clean and "epic" for my taste, the lyrics also do nothing for me at all so I will probably never revisit this ever.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Apr 20 2023

The title track is obviously exceptional. The rest is also really good, but it never gets to that level again sadly. Still fun listen.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Apr 26 2023

Perfectly serviceable first album, but nothing that stands out to me.

Ctrl by SZA
Apr 27 2023

I'm very indifferent about this album. Although I can totally get how this can be a vibe for people, it's not for me. It's more of a 2.5, but more worthy of a 3 than a 2.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 28 2023

Music was fine but not a fan of the vocals. It got especially bad on Metal Postcard.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
May 01 2023

It's very close to being a 4. The first 4 tracks of the album are all amazing, then the middle is fine but nothing amazing and then it picks back up at the end. With the exception of Everything Will Be Alright that one I don't really care about.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
May 02 2023

It's actually a 3.5 but I feel like it's just not varied and engaging enough to warrant a 4. I did enjoy my time with it, however I wonder how often it will be revisited with time.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
May 05 2023

These songs are great, but the tracklist is also a bit bloated. I feel like it's right between good and great but a couple of songs could have been cut.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
May 08 2023

I obviously knew Bat Out Of Hell and Paradise By The Dashboard Light but never heard the full album. While those two tracks are definitely the standout moments, It was an overall enjoyable album.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
May 12 2023

It's a good album. It's very stripped back but beautiful. I do like Blackstar more which came out in the same year and has the same themes. Actual score is a 3.5 but it's closer to a 4 than a 3 I think.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
May 16 2023

Maybe I'm not in the right mindset for this album right now, but it's kind of like a boring Fiona Apple.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
May 18 2023
May 19 2023

Pretty good, with some absolute standouts ("Hey Ya!" as an obvious example) but quite long and the last part of The Love Below is just not good.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
May 24 2023

I did not care for this album at all. Maybe I just don't get it yet.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
May 25 2023

Yes it's dad rock. But I enjoy dad rock so.

xx by The xx
May 30 2023

I've never heard of this group so to see the intro having more than half a billion streams on Spotify and a lot of other 100+ million I was quite excited to listen to it. I was sorely disappointed. The only thing that is keeping me from giving this a 1 is the instrumentation which at points is quite nice and I do like the intro.

The Specials by The Specials
Jun 06 2023

Usually I don't like ska but... I still don't. This album was a slog to get through. I think I just don't like ska.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Jun 21 2023

Loved Dirge. I loved the instrumentals, though the vocal performances did ruin some songs. The back half is not as interesting as the front half.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jun 22 2023

It's fine. Very inoffensive but nothing that stood out.

GI by Germs
Jun 28 2023

The first album where I was genuinely debating if I should give it a 1. I absolutely cannot stand the vocals here. I'm sure it was very influential for its time and it's amazing if you're really into the genre, but it's sadly not for me.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Jul 07 2023

The first half had some pretty decent songs in it. I really liked the opener Terrapin, but after Octopus it went downhill really quickly with If It's in You being the worst offender.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jul 10 2023
Goo by Sonic Youth
Jul 12 2023
american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jul 13 2023

I was ready to hate this album after the first 4 songs. Luckily, after that the songs got better and overall I did enjoy the rest of it.

Woodface by Crowded House
Jul 20 2023

Not bad, just proper bland.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jul 21 2023

The Beastie Boys are just not for me. I see the influence and I don't hate their songs, just their rapping style is not for me.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jul 24 2023
Blue by Joni Mitchell

Ys by Joanna Newsom

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Aug 03 2023

It wasn't unpleasant to listen to, just quite boring and I'm not really sure what this is doing on this list but maybe that is my ignorance talking.

25 by Adele
Aug 08 2023
Low by David Bowie
Aug 15 2023
Aug 16 2023

I can tell it's good, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. It's a 4 because it's a classic but it's somewhere between a 3 and a 4 for me.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Aug 17 2023

This is far from terrible but I don't really get it's placement on the list. The songs are all 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 but apart from Mystery there wasn't another song that I thought was great.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Aug 28 2023

3.5. I've only listened to The Bends fully and a bit of Pablo Honey and A Moon Shaped Pool. I did quite enjoy The Bends but I haven't quite connected with their other material. This album is quite hit or miss.

Dare! by The Human League
Aug 31 2023
Sep 12 2023

The first U2 album I heard, it's pretty good. Probably won't revisit it though.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 29 2023
