Dub Housing by Pere Ubu

If you ever wanted to be midway through a song and as "is that a pressure washer?" This album is for you. I was biased initially since it is so odd but it's really odd in a very good way

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 16 2023

It's fine if you like every song to have the exact same sound. Lyrics are generally good and enjoyable. Will probably listen again.... But not for a while and not until I need a fix of their brand of that sound

Garbage by Garbage
May 20 2023

Good variety in sounds with an overall consistency. Would say it's "pop rock" not deep lyrically imo but not offensive.

Hotel California by Eagles
May 22 2023

Lots of solid tracks for a variety of moods and feelings. Some earworms, some forgettable songs. Overall enjoyed, but wish it felt more cohesive rather than just a collection of songs.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
May 23 2023

Really enjoyed this album, it has a good mix of toe-tappers and feels. Lyrics are worth listening to and tell stories, are humorous at times and enjoyable always. Album was cohesive and flowed from song to song.

Graceland by Paul Simon
May 24 2023

One of my favorite albums, grew up listening to it

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 25 2023

Man has a great voice and objectively the good at the whole music thing but I'm not into the whole "every song is about lost love" type of album

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
May 26 2023

Someone could swap the vocals between any of the tracks and nobody would notice.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
May 29 2023

The "unknown pleasure" was not listening to this album. What the vocalist lacks in skill he does not make up for in passion. I'd say he needs a bucket to carry the tune but buckets aren't good at carrying keys. Instrumentals are fine but I can hear the same, similar, or (usually) better sound from any garage band or subway station one man band busker

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Nov 12 2024

Good shit. Not a super cohesive album though so 3 stars

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Nov 13 2024

Honestly I'm not sure what I just listened to. It was so weird. It wasn't bad! In fact it was kinda good? But so so strange I'm still not sure what it was. Give it a listen

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 17 2024

Quite enjoyable

Dec 07 2024

It sounds like there is a really cool futuristic SciFi distopian film happening outside the cafe this music is playing loudly in. Points for that. Otherwise is pretty basic dude who is almost on pitch singing. 3 stars. Would be 2 except for the above

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Dec 10 2024

The first song sucked. The other were.......... Fine. Dude's chronically off key.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Dec 11 2024

Decent. Good music, meh vocals.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Dec 13 2024

Not a very cohesive album. Some really good songs, some not so great songs.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Dec 14 2024

2nd track was quite good, the others were fine. By the time I get to Phoenix dragged on and on and on so I got bored and skipped it.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Dec 15 2024

It sounds like it was recorded with two microphones on the opposite end of a large, abandoned warehouse from the band.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 17 2024

I'm sure it's a good album but i'm really just not vibing with it today. I've skipped the 2nd half of every song so far. 2 stars, giving it the benefit of the doubt that it's actually good and I just don't see it

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Dec 23 2024

Not offensive, a few decent songs. Largely uninspiring

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jan 16 2025

Good sound but would have liked original music instead of covers

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Jan 20 2025

There are other bands of this style I enjoy more but it's not bad

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 21 2025

Clean. Just clean.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jan 22 2025

Unimpressed. A collage of songs with no cohesion

Heroes by David Bowie
Jan 23 2025

I didnt like the first half and almost gave up on it, but the 2nd half of the album was some really prime concept stuff. Simply fantastic. Averages out to a solid 3 stars

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 25 2025

My first zz top album. Very enjoyable

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jan 28 2025

The first few songs are a crime against my ears. Kinda mid after that. Leopard-skin pillbox hat is funny. 2 stars, but only because there are a few decent songs

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jan 30 2025

If you ever wanted to be midway through a song and as "is that a pressure washer?" This album is for you. I was biased initially since it is so odd but it's really odd in a very good way

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Feb 01 2025

Maybe pink Floyd just isnt for me. Some good songs, some good enough to want to give 4 stars, but wow a lot of just boring whatever in between

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Feb 22 2025

Didnt think i'd like it, was decent. Nothing special, but not bad
