Idk, I feel I should like this more than I do. There are some cool punchier tracks here, but there’s just too much aimless noise that makes the album feel bloated, and this brand of post-punk just really isn’t my thing. 2.5/5

Leonard Cohen is a real songwriter’s songwriter, and I feel like a lot of his music requires a much more active listening than I’m often willing to give. Still, very pretty chamber folk with good melodies and the lyricism I did pick up on seems spot on. Like this one more than Songs of Love and Hate, I think.

I'm not the biggest Deep Purple fan in the world, and I don't really care for a live album either, so...this wasn't really going to be for me. Granted, 3 of my favorite Deep songs are here--Child in Time, Lazy, and of course Smoke on the Water--but they're all so bloated with pointless, boring solos it just makes me think. Why am I listening to this when I could just listen to the original song. I don't think there's a single instance on this album where I think "wow this live performance is so much better than the original". It's just everything in excess, and none of it is particularly good.

Good songwriting throughout, tracklist is a bit spotty. Some really great songs, some more boring, overall a cool album. 3.5/5

Definitely not my first time hearing this album, but it’s been a few years so I relistened. Extremely impressive, but made even more poignant by the time of its release. Lazarus is one of my favorite songs of all time. 4.5/5

Uhh it's fine. Definitely sounds like early 60s traditional pop/country. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing I want to revisit really. 2.5/5

You won't catch me listening to classic blues music often, it's definitely not my thing. So I can't say I was excited to listen to this album, but like...it's good. I liked this a lot actually, every song is so catchy, so electrifying, so much energy. It's a really fun listen, even if I was a bit tired of it towards the end. Most I've ever enjoyed the blues. 3.5/5

I don't think I've like every listened to Tupac before today somehow (except for like California Love). I liked this album, good classic 90s rap & g-funk with cool instrumentals, but there's just something about it that doesn't fully click for me for whatever reason. 3.5/5

I knew Dizzee Rascal by name only before the day, so I guess it was kinda cool discovery to learn that this record basically put grime on the map. And it’s a really cool record! The beats are insane throughout, and even though I did suffer some album fatigue towards the end, Dizzee’s performances are wild enough to keep it interesting. Very cool album.

Have actually had this one on my planning list for awhile, so glad it showed up here and I finally got to here it. It's...fine, pleasant. To be such a foundational baggy record, it sounds very different from what I know as baggy, has more of a throwback 60s psychedelic pop vibe. The singles are great, but a lot of the album tracks don't stick. Don't love it, but wouldn't mind hearing it again. 3.5/5

Two Weeks is an absolute classic, and I know that Grizzly Bear are really well-regarded artists in the modern psychedelic folk field, so I was excited to listen to this one...I didn't love it though. It's very pleasant, has a nice and consistent sound to it and I'm sure very technically well-structured and all, but I just found a lot of these songs kinda...boring. Pretty, but I don't know if I'd come back to it.

I’m no expert in Sonic Youth (basically just know whatever songs they had in Guitar Hero/Rock Band), so I’m not sure if Goo is the best introduction to their music (since it seems to be like…their 5th best), but I do like it, it’s cool. I like the noisy grunge-punk energy. 3.5/5

Like with the Deep Purple album, these jam-my live show albums just aren't my thing. I will say that I liked this one more than Made in Japan though, Whipping Post does go pretty hard (even at its 23 minute run-time), and there are a couple shorter offerings here I don't mind. 2.5/5

Illmatic is like THE 90s hip hop record. I'm glad I listened to it, it's good. I mean, it's not the best rap record I've heard or anything, and I imagine it would have hit harder if I was like there at the time. But it is good.

Not the most exciting or innovative music, but a damn good album all the same. Great vocals and performances, and I like the slight 80s edge infused into the more traditional pop and country sound. Would easily come back to this one. 3.5/5

Album has a nice, kinda lo-fi vibe to it that I like, but the tunes just aren’t that strong. Kinda dull. 2.5/5

Production is pretty interesting throughout, but I am not living for these vocals and a lot of the tunes are kinda aimless.

Pretty nice 60s folk rock record with a surprising amount of diversity. Just good for what it is. 3.5/5

It’s fine, kinda nice. Not much to say about it. 3.5/5

Listening to this album made me 25 years older, 30 pounds heavier, and 100x more straight (but just so I can talk about how much I hate my ex-wife). 1.5/5

3.5/5

Visions of You is a kinda cool song and the bass licks are cool throughout, but this is very dated and 90s in the worst way. Sounds like it would have been described as "world music".

I've already listened to every Steel Dan album for some reason. Did relisten to this one and don't feel too different about it than I did a couple years ago, it's fine.

I've never been a huge fan of the title track, but I did end up lightly enjoying the full album. Pretty decent new wave project. 3.5/5

I’ve already listened to this one and didn’t relisten. I wish I liked it more than I do, I think the music itself is a bit boring, but it is an interesting Springsteen release

I get no joy out of being proverbially “that guy”, but. I just don’t like the Beatles much, especially their early stuff. 2.5/5

Third time I’ve gotten a 6/10 I’ve already heard in the space of a week. Knowing what Wilco would be doing creatively later in their career does make this unreasonably long alt-country record feel a bit rudimentary, but it’s not bad.

It's good. Somehow every song on this album has the best bass performance ever.

I'm not a huge Who fan to begin with, so I wasn't too eager to listen to their debut album. But it was actually pretty decent, the pop rock cuts are pretty fiery, but when they dabble in like...r&b and soul sounds it's kinda cringe honestly. Still, not a bad record all around.

A few years ago I would have said that AC/DC is like my least favorite band, and while I still can't say I'm a huge fan, I at least respect the craft, and their Bon Scott era stuff is pretty solid. This album is pretty decent front to back, not my cup of tea, but the influence on douchey glam metal throughout the 80s is clear (and served a lot better here)

Considering LCD have at least 3 classic albums that seem universally loved and that I haven't heard, it feels a little lame for this to be their first LP I listen to in full. It's like, fine though.

My only other experience with Jorge Ben is Mas Que Nada and Forca Bruta...I can't say as a whole that I like this project as much as either of those, but it's still a pretty fun, eclectic album.

Cool stuff. I've heard the name Goldfrapp before, but only knew Utopia. I assumed she was kinda just an early 2000s synthpop act, so I was surprised how chamber music influenced this was. Lots of this sounds like bond music and with some cool influences of 60s space pop. Really liked this.

Can’t go wrong with Nick Drake

It's just so damn long. It's a pretty good listen from front to back though, Outkast are good. The Love Below half lost me a bit but finished strong. I'm more interested in their classic 90s records than this one, but not a bad listen, it's just kinda...bloated.

Singles are the highlights, album tracks are just okay, but the album as a whole does have a very distinct, cool sound. Cool bass tone throughout

Love Riders on the Storm, Love Her Madly is good, don't really like anything else here. 2.5/5

Have already heard, maybe need a relisten but didn’t have time. It’s good and respectable, not my favorite Radiohead album. 3.5/5

Pretty good! Liked this more than I expected, solid mid-90s alt rock. 3.5/5

3.5/5

Listened to this one a few weeks ago. So fun, diverse, and heavily 90s. Near 10/10 for me. 4.5/5

It’s fine

Really fun jazz rap record with wild vocal deliveries. I really liked this one.

There's a couple pretty good songs here and there, but for the most part this is just like. The dictionary definition of indie rock without much personality.

Idk, I feel I should like this more than I do. There are some cool punchier tracks here, but there’s just too much aimless noise that makes the album feel bloated, and this brand of post-punk just really isn’t my thing. 2.5/5

Have listened to previously, did not relisten. 3.5/5

Listened to the original 5 track release, not the 1999 complete 2 hour performance. Pretty nice. 3.5/5

A couple decent songs here and there, mostly boring and dull. Being a Ryan Adams project bumps it down an extra point too. 2.5/5

Pretty good, brief Rolling Stones record. Bookended by two of their best songs does make a lot of the tracklist pale in comparison a bit, but still nice country rock all the way through (Monkey Man is a cool song too). 3.5/5

Even with my distaste for long albums AND live albums, this was no pretty good? You really get all the big Metallica hits here, and the symphonic arrangements are generally pretty cool and add to the songs. It does end up running a bit long for my liking anyway, but like. It's all good so I won't complain too much. Performances are good, and I'm sure this would have been an awesome show to be at. 3.5/5

I'm not a Green Day fan, and there's not a single from this album that I have liked, but I listened to it anyway...it's not good. Overindulgent but completely uninteresting punkish rock opera with annoying vocals and songs that go on way too long. At it's best, it's okay (I don't mind Whatsername or Holiday), at it's work it's insufferable. 1.5/5

I feel like I should like this one more than I do, but it just really doesn't work for me. Something about the production. Despite the chamber pop aesthetics the instrumentals always sound kind of synthy and distant, and Wayne's voice sounds like it's coming from the next room over. Not to mention pretty much every song here is kind of meandering and boring. This may be a bad take coming from just one listen, but that's listening to one album a day. 2.5/5

I do enjoy Astor Piazzolla for the most part, and this was a pretty cool project from him. I liked the jazzier elements that Gary Burton brings too. Felt a bit long though. 3.5/5

Cool debut album from Foo Fighters. I like the lo-fi, raw vibe to it, and the fact that this is basically a Dave Grohl solo project makes it more impressive. Really cool stuff. 3.5/5

3.5/5

Weirder & a bit more fun than I expected, pretty cool 60s rock record. 3.5/5

3.5/5

Occasionally a cool or tense or tuneful moment, but mostly pretty boring. Couldn't really get into it. 2.5/5

Fun, quirky classic country project. 3.5/5

Pretty interesting project, a little excessive at times though. 3.5/5

Kinda pretty, mostly boring.

3.5/5

3.5/5

Discovery is better, there are some cool tracks here, but a lot of the songs run too long and get a bit annoying.

This album's pretty okay, the production and instrumentals are excellent throughout, really propelled by the rhythm section. Surprisingly diverse too, but a lot of the songs go on too long and are overly repetitive, and basically every vocal performance is identical across all tracks. Not a bad record, I think I could grow to like it more even with its flaws.

3.5/5

The only Vines songs I knew before listening to this were Get Free and Outtathaway, so I was expecting an album full of slightly more "alternative" Buckcherry-ish douchiness. But, it's better than that for sure. I didn't expect such a psychedelic pop influence, sure the influences from Beatles and Floyd are really clear, but well enough done. And the singer's clean vocals aren't so bad when he's not doing...that thing he does with his voice. Honestly, not a bad record, I was expecting worse.

Like, it's fine. I'm not sure if 50% of the songs here I've heard a million times in my life and never want to hear again makes the album as a whole feel more classic or more annoying, but overall it's just. A fine pop rock record. Morning Glory goes hard.

Pretty solid live album. 3.5/5

Listened to this one a couple weeks ago--near perfect classic punk album. 4.5/5

Elvis more like Smell-vis
